Junior AI Data Engineer specializing in Azure Databricks lakehouse and GenAI RAG systems

Irving, TX2y exp

“Backend/applied AI engineer from Cloud Rack Systems who built production GenAI/RAG and data platforms on Azure/Databricks at enterprise scale (2.5M records/day). Known for making LLM systems behave like deterministic services via strict retrieval contracts, citation-based validation, and strong observability—shipping a knowledge assistant used daily by 50+ users while driving hallucinations near zero and materially improving latency and cost.”

“Analytics professional with experience across Dreamline AI, Ultron Technologies, and Infolabz, building SQL/Python data pipelines and BI dashboards for incentive, FMCG, and retail use cases. Stands out for turning messy multi-source data into trusted reporting, automating recurring analytics, and tying dashboard adoption to measurable business outcomes like 50% faster reporting and 30% ROI improvement.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML and cloud-native platforms

Redmond, WA5y exp

“Backend/AI engineer who has built production LLM orchestration and agentic workflow systems in Python/FastAPI on Kubernetes across AWS/Azure. Demonstrated strong reliability engineering by debugging a real-world memory retention issue that caused latency spikes/timeouts, and strong data/performance chops with a PostgreSQL optimization that cut query latency from ~1.2s to ~15ms. Targets roles building scalable, guardrailed AI-driven workflow automation with robust observability and human-in-the-loop controls.”

“Early major technical hire who helped build fintech startup Ugami from MVP to near Series A, while supporting bridge round and Series A fundraising with technical materials for leadership. Also grew from intern to lead engineer at a venture-backed product shop, giving him firsthand exposure to investor expectations, startup incubation, and practical AI opportunities with tight scope and strong unit economics.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience spanning backend APIs, streaming data systems, and cloud/infrastructure automation, who is already using agentic AI workflows in a disciplined way. Stands out for combining practical systems work in Spring Boot, Kafka/Spark/ClickHouse, and Terraform/Kubernetes with a thoughtful approach to AI oversight, architecture, and multi-agent orchestration.”

“Senior backend/data engineer who has built and maintained HIPAA-compliant, real-time clinical FastAPI services on AWS, orchestrating ML/LLM and vector DB calls with strong reliability patterns (auth, timeouts/retries, graceful degradation, idempotency). Also delivered AWS IaC/CI-CD (Terraform/Helm/GitHub Actions) across EKS/Lambda/SageMaker and built Glue/Spark ETL with schema evolution and data quality controls, plus demonstrated large SQL performance wins (15 min to <9 sec) and hands-on incident ownership.”

5y exp

“AI/LLM engineer who built and deployed a production healthcare RAG chatbot ("DoctorBot") with strict medical safety guardrails, an 85% confidence-gated verification layer, and latency optimizations that cut responses from ~8s to ~2–3s. Also worked on finflow.ai to generate finance/banking test cases from BRDs, collaborating closely with non-technical domain stakeholders, and has hands-on orchestration experience with LangChain/LangGraph and agentic evaluation/monitoring practices.”
