Vetted Azure Data Factory Professionals

“AI/ML engineer who has deployed production LLM/transformer-based systems for merchant intelligence and fraud/support optimization, delivering +27% merchant engagement and +18% payment success. Deep experience in privacy-preserving, PCI DSS-compliant data/ML pipelines (Airflow, AWS Glue, Spark, Delta Lake) and scalable microservices on Kubernetes, plus proven cross-functional delivery in healthcare claims analytics at UnitedHealth Group (12% HEDIS claim reduction).”

“CTO-level technology leader with experience building end-to-end tech strategy and roadmaps, modernizing legacy environments in healthcare (GenesisCare), and scaling engineering into large global teams (Amadeus). Built a DevOps organization at Syniverse for the Visibility Suite, implementing Kubernetes/Terraform/Chef automation that drove ~75% faster deployments, and is known for staying hands-on (including data center work) while leading strategically.”

“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.”

“Data/analytics engineer who built and operated a DocuSign-based real-time analytics platform end-to-end, processing 20–50k webhook events/day with ~99.5% reliability. Strong in idempotent event processing, schema-evolution-safe ingestion (raw JSON + dynamic parsing), and serving data via versioned, low-latency REST APIs with solid CI/CD and observability.”

“Backend engineer with experience at UnitedHealth Group redesigning a high-traffic Spring Boot microservice from blocking to reactive architecture during peak season, cutting median latency by 47% for a service used by ~10M customers annually. Strong in Kubernetes-based deployment/scaling and pragmatic rollout strategies (blue-green/incremental traffic shifting) with performance and database troubleshooting.”

“AI/ML engineer who has shipped both a safety-critical mental health RAG chatbot (Mistral 7B + Pinecone) with automated faithfulness/toxicity monitoring and a deep Q-learning investment recommendation engine at Lincoln Financial Group. Strong in production MLOps and orchestration (AWS Lambda/CloudWatch/SageMaker, Docker, AKS) and in translating regulated-domain requirements (clinical reliability, fiduciary duty) into measurable model constraints and monitoring.”

“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).”

“ML/GenAI engineer with hands-on experience shipping LLM-powered support systems at Uber, including real-time feedback analysis, ticket summarization, and retrieval-grounded knowledge systems. Stands out for combining fine-tuning, RAG, safety evaluation, and production optimization to drive measurable support outcomes like faster handling times, better resolution rates, and lower latency/cost.”
