Vetted Data Engineers

“AI/ML engineer (Merkle) with hands-on experience deploying RAG-based LLM applications and real-time recommendation engines into production. Strong in cloud/on-prem architectures, GPU autoscaling, caching, and network optimization—delivered measurable latency reductions (40–70%) and improved retrieval relevance by systematically benchmarking chunking/embedding configurations and validating pipelines via CI/CD.”

“Data engineer with healthcare/clinical trial domain experience who owned a 100TB+/month AWS pipeline end-to-end (Glue/S3/Redshift/Airflow) and drove measurable outcomes (20% lower latency, 99.9% reliability, 40% less manual reporting). Also built production data services and API-based ingestion on GCP (Cloud Run/Functions/BigQuery) with strong validation, versioning, and safe migration practices, and launched an early-stage RAG solution (LangChain + GPT-4) for researchers.”

“Data engineer with banking FP&A experience who led an end-to-end migration of 10+ TB from Teradata to Azure (ADF + Data Lake + Databricks/PySpark + Synapse). Emphasizes reliability (multi-stage validation, monitoring/alerts) and performance (Spark tuning, incremental loads, autoscaling), reporting ~99.5% pipeline reliability while supporting downstream consumers with stable schemas and clear change management.”

“Data/analytics engineer focused on finance and e-commerce integrations, building end-to-end pipelines and services across Odoo, QuickBooks, Snowflake, and Tableau. Replaced a costly third-party Walmart connector with a serverless AWS Lambda pipeline deployed via Terraform/GitHub and monitored with CloudWatch/Datadog, and shipped a bi-directional Odoo↔QuickBooks invoice sync with distributed locking plus Slack-based finance approvals.”

“Data engineer in healthcare/clinical data platforms (HarmonCare) who built and operated an end-to-end lakehouse pipeline ingesting HL7/FHIR at ~2–3M records/day on AWS (Glue/Lambda/S3/Spark) and serving trusted datasets in Snowflake. Implemented strong validation/reconciliation gates and a data quality framework that reduced discrepancies ~40%, plus CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Terraform) and monitoring (Airflow/CloudWatch).”

Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in cloud data pipelines and machine learning

Austin, TX4y exp

“Experience spans college-built AWS-hosted Python/Flask web apps and enterprise data work at General Motors, including PostgreSQL query optimization on millions of records and multi-tenant-style data isolation using group-based, column-level permission grants. Also built an AWS-hosted meat price prediction dashboard using Dash/Plotly and ran large nightly data pipelines orchestrated with Apache Airflow.”

Mid-Level Data/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and cloud data platforms

Overland Park, KS5y exp

“Built and productionized an LLM-based financial document analysis system using a RAG pipeline, including robust ingestion/chunking/embedding workflows, vector DB retrieval, and an AWS-deployed FastAPI service containerized with Docker. Demonstrates strong applied expertise in improving retrieval quality and latency at scale, plus hands-on experience debugging agentic/LLM workflows with monitoring and trace-based analysis while supporting demos and customer-facing adoption.”
