Vetted Azure Functions Professionals

“Backend/data engineer who builds production FastAPI microservices and AWS serverless/Glue pipelines for SMS analytics and marketing segmentation. Led a legacy batch modernization into modular services (FastAPI + Glue/Athena + ClickHouse) using shadow-mode parity checks, feature flags, and incremental rollout. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (12s to sub-second SQL; ~40% CPU reduction) and strong incident ownership with proactive schema-drift prevention.”

“Backend engineer who has built high-throughput analytics and fraud-detection systems, combining Python/Flask + Celery/RabbitMQ with strong PostgreSQL performance tuning (indexing, partitioning, EXPLAIN ANALYZE). Has production experience integrating ML inference (scikit-learn/TensorFlow → TensorFlow Lite) into Spring Boot microservices with caching and model versioning, plus designing secure multi-tenant architectures using JWT-based tenant routing and PostgreSQL RBAC/RLS.”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned a real-time customer analytics microservice stack in Python/FastAPI with Kafka streaming into PostgreSQL, including schema enforcement (Avro) and high-throughput optimizations. Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner (EKS/GKE, Helm, Argo CD) who has handled CI/CD reliability issues with automated pre-deploy checks and rollbacks, and supported major migrations (on-prem to AWS; VM to EKS) with blue-green cutover planning.”

“AI/ML engineer with production experience building a RAG-based internal analytics assistant (Databricks + ADF ingestion, Pinecone vector store, LangChain orchestration) deployed via Docker on AWS SageMaker with CI/CD and MLflow. Strong focus on real-world constraints—latency/cost optimization (LoRA ~60% compute reduction), hallucination control with citation grounding, and enterprise security/governance. Previously at Intuit, delivered an interpretable churn prediction system (PySpark/Databricks, Airflow/Azure ML) that improved retention targeting ~12%.”

“Data engineer at AT&T focused on large-scale telecom (5G/IoT) data platforms, owning end-to-end pipelines from Kafka/Azure ingestion through Databricks/Delta Lake transformations to serving analytics and ML. Has operated at very high volumes (~50+ TB/day) and delivered measurable performance gains (25–30% faster processing) plus improved reliability via Airflow monitoring, robust data quality checks, and resilient external data collection patterns (rate limiting, retries, dynamic schemas).”

Fort Worth, TX6y exp

“Data engineer currently at American Airlines who built and owned end-to-end flight operations and booking data pipelines (batch + real-time) using Azure Data Factory, Kafka, Spark/Databricks, Synapse, and Snowflake—processing hundreds of GBs/day. Strong focus on reliability and data quality (idempotency, checkpointing, retries, validation/alerts) and delivered near-real-time analytics powering Power BI dashboards; previously helped stand up an early-stage data platform at Sysco on AWS (Glue/S3/Redshift) with Airflow and Jenkins CI/CD.”

“ML/AI engineer focused on taking LLM products from experiment to production, with hands-on ownership of a RAG-based customer support system that improved response quality by 35% and cut latency by 30%. Stands out for combining product impact with production rigor across retrieval tuning, safety guardrails, monitoring, and reusable Python/FastAPI services that accelerated adoption across teams.”

“Backend engineer in healthcare data systems who has owned production pipelines end-to-end, from ingesting patient and claims data to serving it through secure APIs. Brings a strong mix of Python, SQL, microservices, cloud deployment, and data reliability practices, with measurable performance gains and experience building resilient integrations with external data sources.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building reliable Python FastAPI services on Kubernetes and delivering AWS EKS + Terraform CI/CD with strong secrets isolation and rollback practices. Also built AWS Glue ETL pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution handling and data-quality controls, modernized legacy analytics into modular Python services with parallel-run parity validation, and has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (minutes to seconds) plus ownership of batch pipeline incidents end-to-end.”

“GenAI/RAG engineer who has deployed a production policy/regulatory search assistant for a financial client using LangChain + Vertex AI, FastAPI, Docker/Kubernetes, and Airflow-orchestrated data pipelines. Demonstrated measurable impact with 50–60% latency reduction and 70% fewer pipeline failures, plus KPI-driven grounding evaluation (90%+ target) and strong cross-functional collaboration with compliance/business teams.”
