Vetted Azure Synapse Analytics Professionals

“Data engineer/backend data services practitioner with Bank of America experience building real-time and batch transaction-monitoring pipelines and APIs (Kafka + databases, REST/GraphQL). Highlights include a reported 45% response-time improvement through performance optimizations and use of Delta Lake schema evolution plus CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) and operational reliability patterns like CloudWatch monitoring and dead-letter queues.”

“Data engineer focused on building reliable, production-grade pipelines and external data collection systems on AWS (S3/Lambda/SQS/Glue/EMR) using PySpark/SQL, serving curated datasets to Snowflake/Redshift for finance and fraud teams. Has operated a large-scale crawler ingesting millions of records/day with anti-bot tactics, schema versioning/quarantine, and CloudWatch/Datadog monitoring, and also shipped a versioned REST API with caching and query optimization.”

“Data/ML platform engineer with healthcare (Cigna) experience owning an end-to-end pipeline spanning Airflow + Debezium CDC ingestion, PySpark/SQL transformations, rigorous data quality gates, and feature-store/API serving for ML training and inference. Worked at 10+ TB scale and cites a ~30% latency reduction plus stronger reliability via idempotent design, monitoring, and backfill-safe reprocessing; also built pragmatic early-stage data pipelines at Frankenbuild Ventures.”

“ML/NLP practitioner focused on insurance/claims analytics for a large financial firm, working with millions of fragmented structured and unstructured records. Built production-grade pipelines for entity extraction, entity resolution, and semantic search using Sentence-BERT + vector DB, including fine-tuning with contrastive learning (reported ~15% recall lift) and scalable ETL/containerized deployment on Kubernetes.”

“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.”

“Built an end-to-end GenAI underwriting copilot at TD Bank for complex financial documents, combining RoBERTa-based risk classification with Azure OpenAI RAG to deliver grounded, citation-based insights. Drove a 40-50% reduction in manual underwriting review time and created reusable FastAPI ML services that cut integration effort for other teams by 30-40%.”
