Vetted Data Pipelines Professionals

“Full-stack engineer who has owned an operational reporting/dashboard product end-to-end—building a React UI, designing/implementing FastAPI services, and deploying/operating on AWS. Demonstrates strong performance engineering (Postgres query/index tuning using EXPLAIN ANALYZE) with concrete impact (reports reduced from tens of seconds to a few seconds) and a reliability mindset across observability, migrations, and resilient third-party/ETL integrations.”

“Backend engineer who evolved the X-Ray gaming analytics platform, leading a zero-downtime MongoDB→AWS DocumentDB migration with dual-write, checksum-based validation, and Kubernetes canary rollouts while maintaining real-time monitoring for millions of concurrent sessions. Strong in FastAPI/Python API scaling and performance tuning (cut latency from ~2s to <150ms and reduced DB load 90%) plus production-grade auth/RLS security patterns (JWT, Supabase Auth, PostgreSQL RLS).”

“Former Walmart Director of Software Engineering who left in March 2025 to build products for clients. Recently delivered an LLM/RAG-based UNSPSC classification solution for an MRO client using a multi-stage retrieval + web search + prompt-engineering workflow, and has led large-scale retail forecasting initiatives and high-severity cloud-migration incidents end-to-end.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with a master’s thesis focused on domain-adaptive knowledge distillation for LLMs (LLaMA2/sheared LLaMA), showing improved perplexity and ROUGE-L on biomedical data. Also built real-world data linking and search systems: integrated ClinicalTrials.gov with FAERS using fuzzy matching + embeddings, and delivered an LLM-powered FAQ recommender at Hyperledger using sentence-transformers, FAISS, and fine-tuning to mitigate embedding drift.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production AWS experience spanning serverless APIs (Chalice/Lambda/API Gateway/Cognito) and data pipelines (Glue PySpark + Step Functions). Has modernized a legacy SAS reporting system into AWS microservices and implemented schema-drift detection and incident prevention for ETL workflows, plus measurable SQL tuning wins (30 min to <10 min runtime).”

“AI/LLM practitioner with internships at Dell Technologies and Roche who built and deployed a healthcare-focused "Doctor LLM" by fine-tuning Meta Llama 3.2 on healthcaremagic.json, emphasizing safety guardrails to prevent harmful medical advice. Experienced in productionizing AI workflows with monitoring, testing, and orchestration (Airflow, Kubernetes), and in delivering AI-agent-driven competitive landscape insights to non-technical business stakeholders.”

“Robotics software engineer with Amazon Robotics internship experience who built a visual-servoing architecture from scratch, navigating multiple simulator pivots to achieve a closed-loop motion-planning and execution prototype. Currently working with ROS 2 on a medical assistive feeding robot using the Kinova Kortex platform (MoveIt2, ros2_control, Gazebo/RViz), and has demonstrated strong real-time debugging and distributed-system synchronization using Carbon and Docker.”

“Customer Success Services / Support professional working on Palantir Foundry who productionizes customer integrations (secure OAuth2, scheduled pipelines) and builds LLM-driven support automation (runbook matching) with monitoring and evaluation suites. Also leads developer workshops/demos on Foundry packaging/installation workflows, using live debugging techniques to make concepts concrete.”
