Vetted Azure Blob Storage Professionals

“Data engineer in financial services (Northern Trust) who has worked across ingestion, transformation, data quality, orchestration, and serving on AWS (S3/Glue/EMR) with Airflow. Highlights include processing ~15M transactions with validation/anomaly detection for regulatory reporting and improving Snowflake query performance by 27% for risk/compliance reporting. Also built a personal real-time streaming service (FastAPI, Kafka, Redis, Cassandra) and uses production reliability patterns like blue-green/atomic swaps and robust retry strategies.”

“New grad focused on AI systems and agent-based development, with hands-on experience using LLMs as a coding partner and building RAG-based document processing workflows. Stands out for practical experimentation with semantic chunking, retrieval optimization, and multi-agent architectures, including redesigning a RAG workflow by adding a reasoning agent to improve response accuracy and reliability.”

“Built and deployed a production NLP sentiment analysis system at Piper Sandler to turn noisy, finance-specific customer feedback into scalable insights. Demonstrates strong end-to-end MLOps: fine-tuning BERT, improving label quality, monitoring for language drift, and automating retraining/deployment with Airflow and Docker (plus Kubeflow exposure).”

Mid-Level Frontend Engineer specializing in legal data platforms

5y exp

“Built and operated end-to-end legal-document data pipelines fed by hundreds of scraper sources, emphasizing data quality validation, reliability (CloudWatch monitoring/alerting, retries, backfills), and serving enriched legal data via serverless AWS APIs (Lambda/API Gateway). Experienced in keeping API contracts stable with additive versioning practices and shipping MVPs quickly with CI/CD and observability in place.”

Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI and multimodal RAG

Morristown, NJ3y exp

“Full-stack engineer who helped build and launch an internal genAI platform called GAIL, supporting multiple LLMs, confidential document upload for RAG pipelines, and collaborative chat. Worked across FastAPI, React/TypeScript, AWS/DynamoDB, and Azure, with notable ownership of backend RAG logic, MCP integration architecture, and frontend fixes that improved chat usability.”

“Healthcare analytics professional with hands-on experience turning messy claims, eligibility, and utilization data into validated BI-ready models using SQL and Python. They combine strong data engineering and KPI design skills with stakeholder-facing delivery, including Power BI prototyping, retention metric operationalization, and analyses that supported care management interventions and cost-control decisions.”

“Frontend-focused engineer who has delivered an end-to-end React SPA with a .NET 9 backend on Azure, deploying via Azure Container Apps and leveraging zero-downtime deployment slots. Built complex TypeScript UI flows (10-page form with global/partial save and custom validation) using Redux + MUI integrated from Figma, and emphasizes quality with RTL/Vitest plus Selenium automation (~95% coverage) and analytics-driven iteration (Heap, Alida, GTM).”

“Built a production "Mini RAG Assistant" for internal document Q&A, focusing on grounded answers (anti-hallucination), retrieval quality, and latency/cost optimization. Uses LangChain/LangGraph for orchestration and applies a metrics-driven evaluation loop (including reranking and semantic chunking improvements) while collaborating closely with product stakeholders.”

“LLM/RAG-focused engineer who repeatedly takes agentic workflows from impressive demos to dependable production using rigorous evals, SLOs, and deep observability. Has led high-impact incident mitigation (22-minute MTTR during a major sale) and developer enablement workshops, and partnered with sales to close a $410k ARR enterprise deal with a tailored RAG pilot (FastAPI/pgvector/Okta/InfoSec-ready).”

“Backend/AI engineer who has shipped production LLM systems end-to-end, including an AI request-routing service (FastAPI + BART MNLI + OpenAI/Gemini) that improved accuracy ~25% after launch via eval-driven prompt/category iteration. Also built an enterprise document intelligence/RAG platform on Azure (Blob/SharePoint/Teams ingestion, OCR/NLP chunking, embeddings in Azure Cognitive Search) with PII guardrails (Presidio), confidence gating, and scalable event-driven pipelines handling millions of documents.”

“Backend-focused TypeScript/Node.js engineer who owned a production microservice for transactional workflows in a React + microservices platform, integrating REST and Kafka event processing. Emphasizes operability and correctness (idempotency keys, exponential backoff retries, DLQs, centralized logging/metrics/alerts) plus strong API DX via versioning and Swagger/OpenAPI with improved error contracts based on developer feedback.”

“Full-stack product engineer who builds and owns production features across Next.js/React/TypeScript and Java Spring Boot, with strong Postgres data modeling and performance tuning. Has delivered measurable improvements (60%+ faster renders, 2s→100ms queries, 50% lower workflow latency) and built reliable Kafka-based workflows with robust observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager) and high test coverage.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in data engineering, LLM/RAG pipelines, and recommender systems

5y exp

“Research assistant at St. Louis University who built and deployed a production document-intelligence RAG system (Python/TensorFlow, vector DB, FastAPI) on AWS, focusing on grounding to reduce hallucinations and latency optimization via caching/async/batching. Also developed a personalized recommendation system for the Frenzy social platform and partnered closely with product/UX to define metrics and iterate on hybrid recommenders and cold-start handling.”

“Built a production LLM/RAG document extraction and game/quiz content workflow using LLaMA 2, LangChain/LangGraph, and FAISS, achieving ~94% accuracy and reducing turnaround from hours to minutes. Demonstrates strong applied MLOps/orchestration (CI/CD, MLflow, Databricks/PySpark), robust handling of noisy/variable document layouts (layout chunking + OCR fallbacks), and practical reliability practices (human-in-the-loop routing, drift monitoring, A/B testing).”
