Vetted Amazon SageMaker Professionals

“Backend/retrieval-focused engineer with production experience at Perplexity building a large-scale real-time Q&A system using retrieval-augmented generation, emphasizing low-latency, high-quality answers through ranking, context optimization, and caching. Also has orchestration experience from both product-facing LLM pipelines and large-scale infrastructure workflows at Meta, and has partnered with non-technical stakeholders to align AI trade-offs with business goals.”

“Machine learning/NLP practitioner at J.P. Morgan who led development of a production RAG system and an entity resolution pipeline for complex financial data. Deep hands-on experience with embeddings (Sentence-BERT), vector search (FAISS/pgvector), LLM fine-tuning (LoRA/PEFT), and rigorous evaluation (human-in-the-loop + A/B testing) backed by strong MLOps on AWS (Docker/Kubernetes, MLflow, Prometheus/Datadog).”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered platform that turns models into scalable REST/gRPC APIs, focusing on keeping GPU-backed inference fast and stable during traffic spikes. Experienced with AWS orchestration (EKS/ECS/Step Functions), safe model rollouts, and production-grade monitoring/testing for reliable AI agents and workflows.”

“Built and deployed a production clinical support LLM assistant at Mayo Clinic using a LangChain-orchestrated RAG architecture (Llama 2/PaLM) over de-identified clinical records, integrating BigQuery with Pinecone for semantic retrieval. Focused on healthcare-critical reliability by reducing hallucinations through grounding, implementing HIPAA-aligned privacy controls (Cloud DLP, VPC Service Controls), and running structured evaluations with clinician feedback.”

“ML/LLM engineer who built a production RAG system (GPT-4 + FAISS + FastAPI) to deliver fast, grounded answers from proprietary documents, optimizing for sub-200ms latency and high-concurrency scale. Strong MLOps/observability background: drift monitoring with Prometheus + Streamlit, automated retraining via Airflow, Kubernetes autoscaling, and MLflow-managed model lifecycle, plus inference cost reduction through quantization and structured pruning.”

“ML/NLP engineer focused on production-grade data and search/recommendation systems: built an end-to-end pipeline that connects unstructured customer feedback with product data using TF-IDF/BERT, Spark, and AWS (SageMaker/S3), orchestrated with Airflow and monitored for drift. Also has hands-on experience with entity resolution at scale and improving search relevance via BERT embeddings, FAISS vector search, and domain fine-tuning validated with precision@k and A/B testing.”

“Senior data/technology executive who stays hands-on: currently building a Go micro-kernel orchestration layer for medical AI agents to boost concurrency and enforce HIPAA/PHI controls, achieving 26x throughput on migrated workloads. Has led large-scale transformations across healthcare and financial services, including a 45-day data warehouse rebuild at Elara Caring and a data/ML roadmap at Acelity credited with $230M in annual revenue impact prior to 3M acquisition.”
