Vetted Apache Hive Professionals

“Data engineer focused on large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines across cloud stacks (GCP and AWS), including Spark-based transformations and orchestration with Airflow. Has experience loading up to ~2TB per BigQuery target table and designing atomic loads to multiple downstream systems (Elasticsearch + Kafka), with Kubernetes deployment and Jenkins CI/CD.”

“Data engineer with experience at Bloomberg, UBS, and Bank of America building high-volume financial data platforms and services. Owned an end-to-end pipeline processing ~150–200M records/day (Kafka/Cassandra/S3 → Spark/PySpark → Snowflake) with strong data quality controls and Airflow reliability practices, reporting ~99% reliability and major performance gains. Also built large-scale external API ingestion with compliance-minded rate limiting, schema versioning, and quarantine/validation layers.”

“Backend/AI systems engineer who has shipped production LLM agents focused on prompt engineering, code generation, and incident-response automation. Stands out for combining strong agent orchestration and reliability engineering with measurable business impact, including 60-70% cost reductions, 45% lower monthly LLM spend, and a 5x increase in developer iteration speed.”

“AI engineer at Anote.ai who built and shipped a production multi-agent LangGraph/LangChain/Ray RAG platform for enterprise search and workflow automation, supporting 3 commercial products and 100+ developers. Drove measurable gains (30% accuracy improvement, lower latency) and improved reliability with Redis-based state checkpointing, message-queue synchronization, and Milvus retrieval optimizations, while partnering with PMs/clients to add transparency features like confidence scores and real-time logs.”

“Data engineer at Plaid who built greenfield, end-to-end real-time transaction pipelines and FastAPI data services for fraud detection and analytics, handling millions of events per day. Strong focus on reliability and data integrity via Great Expectations validation, Airflow-based monitoring/SLAs, quarantine/staging patterns, and robust external data ingestion with schema versioning and backfills (reported 50% fewer anomalies and ~40% fewer failures).”

Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and multimodal NLP

Austin, TX5y exp

“Built a production LLM/RAG assistant for insurance/health claims agents that ingests 100–200 page patient PDFs via OCR (migrated from local Tesseract to Azure Document Intelligence) and delivers grounded claim detail retrieval plus summaries with PII/PHI guardrails. Experienced orchestrating large workflows with Celery worker pipelines and AWS Step Functions (S3-triggered, Fargate-based batch inference/accuracy aggregation), and collaborates closely with non-technical SMEs (claims agents/nurses) through shadowing, iterative demos, and SME-defined evaluation.”

“Primary engineer at Customer Insights AI who built an end-to-end Python pipeline for 340B drug pricing compliance, using ML to detect suspicious pharmaceutical claims and benefit diversion. Stands out for combining healthcare compliance domain knowledge with production reliability practices, and for turning ambiguous analyst-driven review processes into automated workflows that cut manual review by 70%.”
