Vetted Apache Spark Professionals

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI Python APIs and AWS-native platforms (Lambda/API Gateway, SQS, ECS Fargate) with Terraform + GitHub Actions CI/CD and strong reliability practices (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts, structured errors/logging). Also built AWS Glue ETL pipelines (S3/RDS to curated S3/Athena) with schema evolution and data quality controls, modernized legacy processing via parallel-run validation and phased cutovers, and has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (seconds to <200ms) plus incident ownership for batch pipeline SLAs.”

“Backend/ML engineer who has shipped high-scale real-time systems across e-commerce and healthcare: built a PharmEasy real-time recommendation engine for ~2M monthly users (cut feature latency 5 min→30 sec; +15% cross-sell) and architected a HIPAA-compliant multimodal clinical diagnostic workflow (DICOM+EHR) with XAI, MLOps (MLflow/Airflow/K8s), and drift/monitoring guardrails supporting 10k+ daily predictions.”

“Built and deployed production LLM pipelines for evidence-based scoring in two domains: biomedical literature mining (scoring ~2700 drug compounds vs gene targets/mechanisms) and long-horizon news analytics (35 years of Chinese articles). Emphasizes reliability at scale (retries/checkpointing/validation), rigorous empirical model benchmarking (GPT-4o/mini/5), and translating results into stakeholder-friendly visual narratives.”

“ML/AI practitioner in healthcare (Syneos Health) who has deployed production clinical NLP and risk models. Built a BERT-based physician-note information extraction system on Docker + AWS SageMaker (reported ~42% retrieval improvement) and automated retraining/deployment with Airflow and drift detection, while partnering closely with clinicians to drive adoption (reported ~18% readmission reduction).”

“Software engineer with strong full-stack and platform experience (TypeScript/React/Node.js) who has built real-time analytics dashboards and microservices using RabbitMQ. Demonstrates production-minded decision-making under launch pressure (manual fallback for payment-impacting third-party API issues) and has delivered internal DevOps tooling that automates compliance checks via GitHub/Jira integrations.”

“Built and deployed a GPT-4-powered medical assistant for clinical staff to reduce time spent searching guidelines and EHR information, with a strong emphasis on safety and compliance. Uses strict RAG, confidence thresholds, and fallback behaviors to prevent hallucinations, and runs production-grade workflows orchestrated with LangChain/LangGraph plus Docker/Kubernetes/MLflow and monitoring for reliability and cost.”

“LLM/ML engineer who has shipped an enterprise RAG-based Q&A system (LangChain/LlamaIndex, FAISS + Azure Cognitive Search, GPT-3.5/4 via OpenAI/Azure OpenAI) to production on Docker + Kubernetes/OpenShift, tackling hallucinations, retrieval quality, latency/cost, and RBAC/IAM security. Also partnered with operations leaders to turn manual reporting into an LLM-powered summarization and forecasting dashboard driven by real KPIs and iterative stakeholder feedback.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered document Q&A system enabling natural-language querying of large PDFs, focusing on retrieval quality (overlapped chunking) and low-latency performance (optimized embeddings + vector search). Experienced with scaling ML/LLM workflows using async/batch processing, caching, cloud storage, and orchestration via Apache Airflow with robust testing, monitoring, and failure handling.”
