Vetted AWS Glue Professionals

“Backend/data engineer focused on production ML/LLM systems: built a real-time FastAPI inference API on Kubernetes with strong reliability patterns (timeouts, idempotent retries, centralized error handling). Delivered AWS platforms using EKS + Lambda with GitHub Actions/Helm CI/CD and built Glue-based ETL from S3/Kafka into Snowflake with schema evolution and data-quality controls; also modernized legacy analytics/recommendation workflows into Python services with safe, feature-flagged cutovers.”

“LLM/RAG practitioner who built an AWS-based enterprise document search and summarization platform with RBAC and scaled it to 10K+ users, solving relevance issues via contextual chunking and hybrid retrieval. Also designed agentic workflows for a telecom forecast-validation use case using sub-agents, tool APIs, and strict context management, and has proven pre-sales influence (supported a $300K manufacturing deal with a roadmap-driven pitch).”

“AI/LLM engineer who built and productionized an internal RAG-based knowledge system that ingests diverse sources (PDFs, Markdown, Slack), scaled retrieval with distributed FAISS and parallel ingestion, and reduced hallucinations via re-ranking, grounding prompts, and post-generation validation. Also has hands-on orchestration experience with Airflow and Kubernetes for reliable ETL/model pipelines, monitoring, and staged rollouts; reports ~15% accuracy improvement and adoption as the primary internal knowledge tool.”

“Engineering leader with experience building point-of-care diagnostics platforms (IoT-connected PCR device delivering results in <15 minutes) and scaling multidisciplinary teams (55+). Has led major data/IoT architecture decisions (multi-cluster Kubernetes with secure routing; Kafka + Gobblin over MQTT) and runs execution with Agile roadmaps tightly aligned to GTM and senior leadership.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning high-traffic FastAPI APIs (Postgres/Redis/Kafka) and serverless+container deployments (Lambda/ECS) managed via Terraform and CI/CD. Has built Glue-based data lake ETL (S3 Parquet, Athena/Redshift) with schema drift/data quality controls, modernized legacy batch systems via parallel-run parity validation, and demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (60–90s down to 3–5s).”

“Amazon Prime Video backend engineer who built and operated high-traffic Python/FastAPI services and AWS-native data/batch systems. Demonstrates strong production reliability and incident ownership (CloudWatch/X-Ray), plus measurable performance wins (8s to <200ms query latency, ~40% CPU reduction) and cost-focused architectures (Lambda + ECS/Fargate with Fargate Spot).”

“Data science/NLP practitioner with experience at NVIDIA and Microsoft building production-grade NLP and data-linking systems. Has delivered high-performing pipelines (e.g., F1 0.92) and large-scale entity resolution (F1 0.89), plus semantic search using embeddings and Pinecone with ~30–40% relevance gains, backed by rigorous validation (A/B tests, ROUGE, MRR) and strong MLOps/workflow tooling (Airflow, Databricks, FastAPI, MLflow, Prometheus/ELK).”

“ML/robotics engineer with Apple experience who built a computer-vision-driven industrial defect detection system integrating a robotic arm with ROS-based real-time inference on an edge GPU. Drove major performance gains (cut inference time ~60% via quantization + TensorRT) and improved robustness to lighting/material variation, with strong emphasis on production reliability (health checks, watchdogs, observability, CI/CD) and interest in shaping early-stage startup engineering culture.”
