Vetted Data Ingestion Professionals

“Data engineer focused on production-grade pipelines and data services: ingests millions of records/day into S3, performs SQL/Python quality validation and PySpark/SQL transformations, and serves curated datasets via Athena/Redshift. Has experience hardening external data collection with retries/rate-limit handling and shipping versioned internal data APIs with backward compatibility, monitoring, and CI/CD in early-stage environments.”

“Data engineer/platform builder who has owned production pipelines end-to-end processing millions of records/day, with strong emphasis on data quality (quarantine workflows) and reliability (monitoring, retries, incremental loads). Also designed large-scale external data collection/crawling with anti-bot handling and backfills, and shipped versioned REST data services optimized for performance and developer usability in an early-stage environment.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in NLP, LLMs, and MLOps

Remote, USA4y exp

“Built an AI-driven insurance policy summarization platform at Marsh, taking it end-to-end from messy PDF ingestion/OCR and custom extraction through LLM fine-tuning and AWS SageMaker deployment. Delivered measurable impact (25% reduction in manual review time, 99% uptime) and demonstrated strong production MLOps/LLMOps practices with Airflow/Step Functions orchestration, rigorous evaluation (ROUGE + human review), and continuous monitoring for drift, latency, and hallucinations.”

“LLM/agent engineer who built a production LangGraph multi-agent orchestrator connecting GitHub and APM/observability signals with a chain-of-verification loop for root-cause analysis. Emphasizes pragmatic architecture (start simple with state summaries), performance tuning (async LLM calls, Docker), and rigorous evaluation (LLM-as-judge, adversarial testing, hallucination/instruction adherence metrics, tool-call tracing) while iterating with non-technical stakeholders via A/B testing.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native and AI-integrated systems

3y exp

“Built and deployed a Virginia Tech CS department blog/archive application using a MERN/Next.js stack and a fully serverless AWS architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CloudFront, Route 53), including CI/CD via the Serverless Framework. Implemented RBAC for student/faculty/admin users and added an article export feature backed by MongoDB.”

“Backend engineer with healthcare and financial services experience (Humana, PNC) who owned production-grade, high-volume ingestion-to-API pipelines end-to-end in C#/.NET and SQL. Strong focus on data quality, handling out-of-order/partial upstream records, and improving reliability/observability via structured logging and telemetry, plus significant SQL performance tuning to reduce peak-load issues.”

“Former founding engineer and eventual CTO at 2Plus2 Partners (25 years ago) with additional experience in two private-equity-backed companies (apex analytix and HICX). Interested in helping build another company before retirement; comfortable with entrepreneurial risk but cannot self-fund significant capital.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in full-stack development and AI/ML

New York, NY1y exp

“Built and maintains an AI Finance Tracker end-to-end as a solo full-stack product owner, from Figma designs and React frontend to Flask APIs, Firestore, auth, deployment, and AI insights. Stands out for combining product instinct with pragmatic engineering decisions like pre-aggregating financial data to control LLM costs and adding OCR receipt scanning based on real user feedback.”

Rami Jaloudi

Senior Applications Engineer specializing in legal technology and eDiscovery

New York, NY16y exp

“Early-stage founder candidate exploring an AI-enabled legal tech startup focused on document intelligence, secure workflows, and enterprise automation. Brings a rare blend of technical architecture fluency and product/business thinking, with clear firsthand insight into legal and document-heavy operational pain points.”

“Built and deployed an agentic RAG assistant in production to automate enterprise knowledge search and multi-step workflows with tool calling, tackling real-world issues like hallucinations, retrieval accuracy, and latency. Demonstrates strong LLMOps and orchestration depth (MLflow, Airflow, LangGraph/LangChain/LlamaIndex) plus a metrics-driven approach to agent testing/evaluation and cross-functional delivery with business stakeholders.”

“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.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end RAG-based AI support platform at Mechanize (FastAPI/LangChain/Pinecone/React) with rigorous evals and guardrails, driving 45% fewer support tickets and ~$280K annual savings. Also led a high-risk legacy modernization at Argo AI, incrementally extracting a monolithic Django backend using Strangler Fig + feature flags while supporting 10K+ concurrent users.”

“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%.”
