Vetted Data Scientists in California

“ML/NLP engineer with experience at Charles Schwab building an NLP + graph (Neo4j) entity-resolution system to unify fragmented user/device/transaction data and improve downstream model quality and analyst querying. Has applied embeddings (SentenceTransformers + FAISS) with domain fine-tuning to boost hard-case matching recall by ~12% while maintaining precision, and has a track record of hardening scalable Python/Spark pipelines and productionizing fraud models via A/B tests and shadow-mode monitoring.”

“Founding member of Tausight, building AI systems to detect and protect PHI for healthcare organizations; helped take the company through post–Series A funding and exited after ~6 years. Drove a strategic collaboration with Intel’s OpenVINO team—becoming the first to deploy it in a real production system and improving model performance by ~30% on customer Intel-CPU machines.”

“ML/NLP practitioner focused on financial-services document intelligence and compliance workflows—built an end-to-end pipeline to classify documents and extract financial entities from loan applications, emails, and statements stored in S3/internal databases. Strong in entity resolution/record linkage and in productionizing pipelines with GitHub Actions CI/CD, testing, data validation, and Docker, plus semantic search using OpenAI embeddings and a vector database.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with banking experience (M&T Bank) who has built a GPT-4 RAG system using LangChain and Pinecone to connect unstructured customer data with internal knowledge bases, improving accuracy and reducing manual lookup time by 50%+. Strong in entity resolution and productionizing scalable Python data workflows, including major performance wins by migrating bottleneck joins from Pandas to Dask.”
