Vetted Apache Spark Professionals

“Built and deployed production LLM applications including a natural-language-to-read-only-SQL system focused on ambiguity handling and query safety (schema whitelisting, intent validation, confidence checks, deterministic execution). Experienced with LangChain-based, modular agent orchestration and RAG document QA for large PDFs, with a metrics-driven testing/evaluation approach and cross-functional delivery with marketing on an AI content recommendation/search tool.”

“Built and deployed a production AI-powered personalized learning platform (Django + FastAPI) featuring an LLM+RAG tutoring assistant and automated grading. Demonstrates strong applied LLM reliability engineering (structured JSON outputs with Pydantic validation, hallucination control via FAISS-based RAG thresholds and refusals) plus scalable async microservice design and Airflow-orchestrated ETL across AWS/GCP.”

“Co-op engineer who owned and shipped a Python/Flask backend for automating architecture reviews and system metadata processing, including ingestion from multiple internal APIs, RBAC, testing, and deployment. Has hands-on Kubernetes + GitOps (ArgoCD) experience, built Kafka-based real-time ingestion, and supported a cloud-to-on-prem migration with phased cutover, smoke tests, and performance tuning.”

Senior Data Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision and production ML

Cleveland, OH7y exp

“PhD in computer engineering who has built production-oriented ML/NLP systems for space-weather prediction using Spark-based ETL on noisy satellite sensor logs. Strong in entity resolution and semantic search—fine-tuned E5 embeddings with contrastive learning and deployed to Pinecone, improving top-5 retrieval precision by 25%—and emphasizes scalable, observable pipelines with Airflow, Docker, and CI/CD.”

Intern Data Scientist specializing in machine learning, NLP, and LLM fine-tuning

2y exp

“Built a production-style AI meeting summarization and action-item extraction system (Azure Speech-to-Text + transformer summarization/NER) exposed via a Flask REST API, with explicit guardrails to prevent hallucinated tasks. Strong focus on reliability: modular agent/workflow design, precision-first evaluation with human-validated golden notes, and practical orchestration patterns (tool-augmented agents; ready to scale into Airflow/LangGraph/Prefect).”

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative and Agentic AI

Lafayette, Louisiana4y exp

“Built and deployed a production-grade LLM agent for credit management and accounts receivable automation, integrating ERP/MySQL data via a RAG pipeline and exposing services through FastAPI with Pydantic-validated outputs on AWS Bedrock. Emphasizes reliability and compliance for financial operations using schema validation and human-in-the-loop review, reporting ~32% reduction in manual work and ~41% improvement in response time/reliability.”

Charmi Dharmendrakumar Parmar

Screened

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack and cloud-native systems

Alpharetta, GA4y exp

“Backend/full-stack engineer who owned a cloud-native, AWS-based microservices backend for an HRIS product used by ~10,000 users, including onboarding and workflow orchestration. Strong production focus on event-driven architecture, idempotency/retries, observability, and developer-friendly API design (OpenAPI, versioning, JWT), plus hands-on Selenium automation for resilient checkout-style flows.”

“AI/ML engineer with 9+ years of experience building production recommendation and LLM systems end-to-end, from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Stands out for combining strong MLOps discipline with practical GenAI/RAG implementation, including measurable impact such as ~25% higher engagement on an e-commerce recommender and nearly 30% faster knowledge retrieval from internal documents.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on experience building healthcare and fraud-detection systems from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Stands out for combining real-time IoT pipelines, cloud-native MLOps, and GenAI/RAG in regulated healthcare settings, with reported impact including reduced emergency response times and a 25% reduction in manual diagnosis time.”
