Irvine, CA12y exp

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience shipping production systems across fintech, travel, and legal use cases. They’ve built end-to-end chatbot, generative content, and RAG solutions on AWS with CI/CD, monitoring, and guardrails, including a loan application platform that generated $3,000 in sales in its first month.”

“Forward-deployed, full-stack/platform engineer who owns production features end-to-end across frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure (AWS serverless, Terraform, React). Has modernized critical fintech/payment systems (zero-downtime monolith-to-microservices with Kafka event sourcing) and productionized AI-native support workflows (LLM + RAG on Pinecone) with measurable gains in latency, incidents, CSAT, and support efficiency.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based enterprise document intelligence platform for financial/compliance/operational documents on AWS (Spark/Glue ingestion, embeddings + vector DB, LangChain orchestration, REST APIs on Docker/Kubernetes). Deep hands-on experience orchestrating multi-step and multi-agent LLM workflows (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI) with strong focus on grounding, evaluation, observability, and cost/latency optimization, and has partnered closely with non-technical finance/compliance teams to drive adoption.”

“At onedata, built and deployed an LLM-powered, multi-agent analytics platform on AWS Bedrock that lets users create Amazon QuickSight dashboards through natural-language conversation, cutting dashboard build time from ~30 minutes to ~5 minutes. Strong in production concerns (observability, token/cost tracking, model tradeoffs) and in bridging business + technical work, owning pre-sales pitching through delivery with an engineering management background focused on AI product management.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and MLOps

USA5y exp

“AI/ML engineer with banking domain experience (M&T Bank) who built a production credit-risk prediction and reporting platform combining ML models (XGBoost/TensorFlow) with a RAG pipeline (LangChain + GPT-4) over compliance documents. Delivered measurable impact (≈20% better risk detection/precision, 50% less manual reporting) and productionized workflows on Vertex AI/Kubeflow with CI/CD and monitoring; also implemented embedding-based semantic search using FAISS/Pinecone.”

“ML/LLM engineer with production experience building a compliant RAG-based virtual assistant at Intuit, optimizing embeddings and FAISS retrieval (including PCA) for low-latency, privacy-controlled search and deploying via AWS SageMaker containers. Also built scalable Airflow+MLflow pipelines using Docker and KubernetesExecutor, cutting training cycles by 37%, and partnered with civil engineers/project managers at Aegis Infra to deliver predictive maintenance for construction equipment.”

Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in cloud data platforms and AI agents

Santa Clara, CA6y exp

“Data/Backend engineer who has owned end-to-end merchant analytics systems on AWS: orchestrated multi-source ingestion (FISERV/Shopify/Clover) with Step Functions/Lambda, enforced strong data quality gates, and served curated datasets via Redshift and a FastAPI layer. Also built an early-stage Merchant Insights AI agent that converts natural language questions into SQL using OpenAI models, with full CI/CD and observability.”

“Healthcare AI/ML engineer with Epic experience who built and deployed a HIPAA-compliant GPT-4 RAG clinical assistant over large medical document sets, emphasizing privacy controls and low-latency performance. Also automated end-to-end retraining and deployment of patient risk models using orchestration/CI-CD (Jenkins, SageMaker, MLflow), cutting deployment time from hours to minutes while improving reliability.”

“Software engineer with experience at Wipro Technologies and Wells Fargo building React-based SPAs, reusable component libraries, and developer documentation. Demonstrated strong performance engineering (React.memo, list virtualization, code splitting) with reported >50% rendering-time improvement, plus hands-on production support by diagnosing API outages via monitoring/logs and implementing traffic/server fixes. Comfortable leading workstreams in fast-changing environments using Kanban and tight stakeholder feedback loops.”

“Full-stack engineer with healthcare and fintech experience who has owned production features end-to-end—most notably an AI assistant clinical risk summary tool on AWS (FastAPI/Lambda + React/TypeScript) that cut analyst review time ~40%. Strong in performance tuning for large datasets (S3/Athena), production ops/observability (CloudWatch, CI/CD, env separation), and building reliable ETL/integrations with idempotency and retries.”

“Backend/platform engineer with State Farm experience modernizing and scaling an enterprise consolidated payment data platform and event-driven pipelines. Built cloud-native payment architecture (ECS->EKS) handling millions of financial transactions/day and high-volume telemetry (~100M events/day), with strong schema governance (Avro + schema registry) and production operations/incident mitigation driven by observability.”

“LLM/agentic systems builder who shipped production workflows at Angel Flight West and Eureka AI, combining LangGraph + RAG (Postgres/pgvector) with strong observability (LangSmith/Langfuse). Delivered large operational gains (address lookup cut from 10 minutes to 60 seconds; accuracy to 92%) and has a track record of quickly stabilizing customer-critical pipelines (Pydantic-enforced JSON for ETL) while partnering with sales/ops to drive adoption.”
