“Backend/data platform engineer who recently owned an end-to-end large-scale financial data platform delivering real-time decision support for finance and operations. Has hands-on experience modernizing legacy batch pipelines into AWS cloud-native ELT with parallel-run cutovers, strong data quality controls (dbt-style tests, reconciliation), and measurable improvements in runtime, cost, and SLA compliance. Also builds scalable, secure FastAPI microservices using Docker, ALB-based horizontal scaling, Redis caching, and managed auth with Cognito/Supabase plus Postgres RLS.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-powered PDF document Q&A system to eliminate manual searching through long documents, focusing on scalability and answer reliability. Implemented semantic chunking (using headings/paragraphs/tables), overlap, and preprocessing/quality checks to reduce hallucinations, and orchestrated the end-to-end pipeline with Airflow using retries, alerts, and parallel tasks.”

“Researcher from the University of South Dakota who built a production medical RAG system to help interpret model predictions by retrieving relevant clinical notes and medical literature, overcoming retrieval accuracy and imaging-dataset challenges through semantic chunking and metadata-driven indexing. Also has hands-on orchestration experience with Airflow and Azure Data Factory, plus a pragmatic approach to LLM evaluation and stakeholder-driven iteration.”

“Data engineer/platform builder with experience across PwC and Liberty Mutual delivering high-volume, production-grade pipelines and real-time data services. Has owned end-to-end streaming + batch architectures on AWS and Azure, including web scraping systems, with quantified reliability gains (99.9% availability, 90%+ error reduction, 30% latency reduction) and strong observability/CI-CD practices.”
