Vetted Apache Hive Professionals

“Developed and productionized an AI-driven "indication finding" system for AbbVie to identify additional diseases a drug could target, working closely with clinical research teams on cohort inclusion/exclusion criteria and disease rollups. Leveraged an LLM to map clinical inputs to ICD codes and built configuration-driven ML pipelines (Cloudera ML, YAML, scheduled jobs) with structured testing and evaluation for reliability.”

“Built a production GenAI-powered analytics assistant to reduce reliance on data analysts by enabling natural-language Q&A over Databricks/Power BI dashboards, backed by vector search (Pinecone/Milvus) and a Neo4j knowledge graph, including multimodal support via OpenAI Vision. Demonstrates strong real-world LLM reliability engineering with strict RAG, LangGraph multi-step verification, and Guardrails/custom validators, plus broad orchestration and production monitoring experience (Airflow, ADF, Step Functions, Kubernetes, Prometheus/CloudWatch).”

“ML/NLP engineer currently working in NYC on a system that connects complex unstructured data sources to deliver personalized insights, using embeddings + vector DB retrieval and a RAG architecture (LangChain, Pinecone/OpenSearch). Strong focus on production constraints—especially low-latency retrieval—using FAISS/ANN, PCA, index partitioning, and Redis caching, plus PEFT fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) and KPI/SLA-driven promotion to production.”

“Built an LLM-powered learning assistant (EduQuizPro/EduCrest Pro) that uses RAG over URLs and PDFs to generate quizzes, notes, and explanations for students/professors. Emphasizes production robustness—implemented dependency fallbacks (FAISS/Sentence Transformers/Gradio), CLI-safe mode, and NumPy-based indexing—along with a custom orchestration layer to keep multi-step AI workflows reliable.”

New York, NY10y exp

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI services on AWS and implementing strong reliability/observability (CloudWatch, ELK, correlation IDs, alarms). Has delivered serverless + container solutions with IaC (CloudFormation/Terraform) and Jenkins CI/CD, and built AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution and data-quality safeguards; demonstrated large-scale SQL tuning (45 min to 3 min on a 500M-row workload).”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered analytics assistant enabling business users to ask questions in plain English and receive validated Spark SQL executed in Databricks, with a Streamlit/Flask UI. Addressed strict client schema-privacy constraints by implementing a RAG strategy and ultimately leveraging AWS Bedrock and fine-tuned reference docs. Also has production ML pipeline experience using Docker + Airflow and AWS (S3/ECS/EC2) for financial classification models.”

“Backend engineer with experience at Comcast and in healthcare/pharmacy automation (PrimeRx), building Python/Flask services that orchestrate large-scale batch workflows (Airflow) and high-throughput event processing (Kafka). Demonstrated measurable performance wins (cut provisioning latency to ~150–200ms) and strong multi-tenant isolation strategies (Postgres RLS, partitioning), plus practical integration of ML model outputs into production systems with validation and fallback controls.”

“Built and deployed a secure, production LLM-based document summarization and risk-highlighting tool for financial auditors, running inside a private Azure environment to protect confidential data. Focused on reliability (hallucination mitigation via retrieval-based prompts and source citations) and validated performance through comparisons to auditor summaries plus a user pilot, cutting review time by about half.”

“Data engineering-focused candidate (internship/project experience) who built end-to-end pipelines processing a few million transactional records/day for fraud detection and reporting, using Airflow, Python/SQL, and PySpark with strong emphasis on data quality gates, idempotency, and monitoring. Also implemented an external web/API data collection system with anti-bot tactics and schema-change quarantine, and shipped a versioned Flask API to serve curated warehouse data.”

Omaha, NE6y exp

“Data engineer at American Express who owned end-to-end pipelines for transaction and customer data used in finance reporting and risk analytics, processing ~5–8M records/day. Built Airflow-orchestrated ingestion (including external APIs/web sources) with strong data quality controls, monitoring/alerts, and resilient backfill/retry patterns, and also shipped a versioned REST API serving aggregated metrics to analytics teams.”

“Backend/AI workflow engineer who built production-grade orchestration systems for hardware security verification at Silicon Assurance (Nextflow/Python/Postgres) and a multi-agent LLM-driven regulatory code checking system at the University of Florida. Emphasizes reliability: strict plan/execute/verify boundaries, queue-based isolation, and strong observability/auditability with Prometheus/Grafana and persisted prompts/tool calls.”

“ML/AI engineer focused on production NLP and voice AI systems in the restaurant tech space, with hands-on work spanning ASR, intent classification, LLM fine-tuning, and deployment monitoring at Presto AI. They highlight a 15% improvement in full-AI ordering rate and also built a restaurant sentiment analysis product at Wisely that they say became a standout feature in a $10M acquisition context.”
