Vetted Data Governance Professionals

“Freelance CTO with a track record of founding and building early web products, including an award-winning baby website creation platform that was acquired by eStyle after gaining traction via retail/mail-order distribution and PR. Also built a sports event text-alert product, engineering around missing data APIs via a replaceable scraping layer.”

“Machine learning/NLP practitioner at J.P. Morgan who led development of a production RAG system and an entity resolution pipeline for complex financial data. Deep hands-on experience with embeddings (Sentence-BERT), vector search (FAISS/pgvector), LLM fine-tuning (LoRA/PEFT), and rigorous evaluation (human-in-the-loop + A/B testing) backed by strong MLOps on AWS (Docker/Kubernetes, MLflow, Prometheus/Datadog).”

“Interned at Backblaze building production AI systems for incident response and security operations, including an internal LLM-powered incident triage assistant that used Snowflake + RAG over historical tickets/postmortems and delivered results via Slack and a web UI. Emphasizes reliability (PII filtering, grounding, schema validation, fallbacks) and rigorous evaluation/observability (offline replay, partial rollouts, time-to-first-action metrics, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“Senior data/technology executive who stays hands-on: currently building a Go micro-kernel orchestration layer for medical AI agents to boost concurrency and enforce HIPAA/PHI controls, achieving 26x throughput on migrated workloads. Has led large-scale transformations across healthcare and financial services, including a 45-day data warehouse rebuild at Elara Caring and a data/ML roadmap at Acelity credited with $230M in annual revenue impact prior to 3M acquisition.”

“Hands-on engineering manager at a marketing company leading a highly senior, distributed team (10 direct reports) while personally coding ~60–70% and owning end-to-end architecture across three interconnected products. Built agentic CRM automation and a reinforcement-learning-driven distribution layer for channel spend/bidding, with a strong focus on scalable design and observability (Prometheus/APM/logging) enabling frequent releases and few production incidents.”

“Engineering leader (12+ years Director, 17 years lead) focused on developer productivity and platform/framework work across Oracle, PlayStation, Workday, and CafePress. Notable for building distributed teams from scratch and delivering high-impact platform architecture—e.g., re-architected PlayStation’s upload pipeline to support 500GB–5TB submissions using browser-to-AWS chunked uploads with SNS/SQS and deduplication/resume support.”

“Enterprise/mid-market SaaS seller with MarTech/marketing SaaS experience (Momentive AI) and prior top-performer stints at Microsoft and Oracle. Describes a repeatable outbound motion (verticalized ICP, multi-channel sequences) and strong deal execution via mutual action plans, controlled pilots/POCs, and security/compliance navigation, including land-and-expand into adjacent departments.”

“Senior data/AI and platform leader with Walmart- and T-Mobile-scale architecture experience, including building real-time inventory + forecasting platforms (Kafka/Cassandra/Hadoop) and Azure IoT systems. Known for translating board-level business goals into roadmaps that deliver measurable impact (e.g., $50M savings and $250M profit in a year; +2% conversion via Customer 360) and for hands-on problem solving in ML/forecasting (feature reduction and LASSO).”

“Data science/NLP practitioner with experience at NVIDIA and Microsoft building production-grade NLP and data-linking systems. Has delivered high-performing pipelines (e.g., F1 0.92) and large-scale entity resolution (F1 0.89), plus semantic search using embeddings and Pinecone with ~30–40% relevance gains, backed by rigorous validation (A/B tests, ROUGE, MRR) and strong MLOps/workflow tooling (Airflow, Databricks, FastAPI, MLflow, Prometheus/ELK).”

“Engineering leader in cloud security at SysTech with player-coach experience spanning cross-team data/ownership standardization and reporting platform user-journey improvements. Stays technically deep through observability (SLA/SLOs, dashboards, alerting), rigorous code reviews (including AI-assisted coding), and end-to-end incident ownership in IAM/agentless cloud event collection. Targeting $270K–$300K base plus bonus/equity.”

“Fractional CTO supporting early-stage teams in the UAE and Ukraine to build platforms using an "Agentic OS" approach—one focused on reducing friction across patient/provider/payor engagement and another on enforcing transparency for international rebuilding investments to reduce fraud. Also exploring an alternative-energy feedstock plantation opportunity in Armenia with multi-industry downstream revenue potential; has created project-specific investor pitch decks and is actively engaging potential investors.”
