Senior Data Scientist specializing in analytics, experimentation, and BI on AWS

Austin, TX7y exp

“Data/ML practitioner focused on healthcare data quality and record linkage: analyzed 10M+ records, built anomaly detection and NLP-driven entity resolution, and automated AWS ETL/validation pipelines (Glue/Redshift/Lambda), cutting data errors by 40% and generating $500k in annual savings. Has hands-on experience with embeddings (Sentence Transformers/spaCy), FAISS vector search, and fine-tuning for domain-specific matching.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of Python/Flask microservices and recommendation systems across edtech and telecom. Deployed and operated real-time personalization/recommendation platforms on AWS EKS with Jenkins-based CI/CD, GitOps-style declarative configs, and strong observability practices. Has migration experience moving legacy mixed environments to modern containerized Kubernetes and built Kafka pipelines feeding ML services while managing schema evolution.”

“Backend/data platform engineer with production experience at Walmart and Molina Healthcare, building Python microservices on AWS (EKS + Lambda) for real-time inventory and recommendation systems. Strong in reliability/observability and incident leadership, plus modernizing legacy healthcare workflows and building resilient AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines with schema evolution and data quality controls.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps-focused engineer working across Linux-based enterprise platforms that include IBM Power/AIX in a broader OpenShift/Kubernetes and cloud ecosystem. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD for containerized deployments and resolved a production deployment failure by tracing ImagePullBackOff to outdated registry credentials in Kubernetes secrets. Uses Terraform (with modular structure) plus Ansible to provision and standardize production environments with pipeline-based validation.”

“Backend-focused engineer building customer support/order-tracking platforms with Java 17/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript frontend. Deep experience running event-driven systems on Kubernetes (Kafka, Redis, MySQL) with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Splunk), SLOs, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, canaries). Also built an internal monitoring/debugging dashboard that consolidated metrics and logs for on-call engineers and was adopted by other teams to speed incident response.”

“Built a production AI agent for phishing fraud detection using n8n orchestration, Claude (Sonnet 4/MCP), VirusTotal, and JavaScript formatting to generate and deliver email-based reports via Gmail. Has experience evaluating detection accuracy against known examples, iterating via feedback, and presenting AI solutions to non-technical teams.”

“Cloud-focused DevOps/Infrastructure engineer with hands-on AWS high availability, migration cutovers, and production automation. Built Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines (Git, SonarQube, Artifactory) and manages Terraform IaC with S3/DynamoDB remote state, PR-based reviews, and staged environment promotion; targets $160k base. No direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned high-volume Java/Spring Boot microservices on AWS (Kafka + RDS/DynamoDB) and has hands-on experience debugging complex production latency incidents across DB, JVM/GC, and async consumers. Also shipped applied AI features for ops, including an LLM-powered log analysis assistant and an incident-response agent with strong safety guardrails (schema-validated tool use, retries/backoff, and human-in-the-loop escalation).”

“Backend/AI engineer at Intuit who built a production AI-powered case assistant for support agents (FastAPI on AWS EKS) combining Postgres case data, OpenSearch retrieval with embedding reranking, and internal LLMs. Improved peak-season reliability by diagnosing P95/P99 timeout spikes and cutting P95 latency from ~800ms to <400ms via composite indexing, keyset pagination, connection pool tuning, and caching, while adding grounded-generation guardrails (evidence packs, confidence thresholds, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop).”

Texas, USA5y exp

“Backend/platform engineer focused on high-traffic financial systems, owning real-time event-driven ingestion and Kafka streaming pipelines using Python/FastAPI, Avro schemas, and AWS services. Has hands-on Kubernetes (EKS) and GitOps/CI-CD experience (ArgoCD/Jenkins) and supported large-scale migrations from legacy VMs to containerized microservices with zero/low-downtime cutovers.”

Mid-level Data Scientist specializing in insurance, finance, and healthcare analytics

New York, NY3y exp

“Built and productionized LLM-driven sentiment scoring for earnings call transcripts at Goldman Sachs, replacing legacy NLP to deliver a cleaner trading signal while managing latency/cost via batching, caching, and distilled models. Also implemented an Airflow-orchestrated fraud modeling pipeline at MetLife with drift-based retraining and SageMaker deployment, and has a disciplined evaluation/rollout framework for reliable AI workflows.”

Principal Engineer specializing in GenAI/LLM platforms and enterprise modernization

Hayward, California19y exp

“Built a production LLM-driven personalization microservice for realtor.com using LangChain/LangSmith with an MCP tool layer and RAG to generate schema-constrained ranked listings in real time, replacing a rule-based engine and improving engagement/lead conversion. Also owned an ambiguous cross-channel identity initiative, implementing an identity graph via Twilio Unify with required SDK and data-warehouse integration.”

“Data platform engineer with hands-on ownership of high-volume financial data pipelines (millions of transactions/day) on Azure (ADF, Databricks, Delta Lake, Synapse), emphasizing schema-drift protection and automated data-quality gates. Also built resilient web scraping pipelines with anti-bot and backfill strategies, and shipped a versioned FastAPI + Redis data API with autoscaling, testing, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions.”
