Vetted Data Pipelines Professionals

“Built and shipped an LLM-powered data quality assistant that generates maintainable validation checks from metadata while executing validations via Great Expectations, exposed through FastAPI and integrated into Airflow-managed pipelines. Emphasizes production reliability (structured outputs, guardrails, monitoring, versioning, human review) and works closely with compliance/operations teams to deliver clear, auditable, user-friendly AI outputs.”

“Former Amazon intern who owned an end-to-end computer vision system to detect package anomalies in fulfillment centers, from data collection/labeling to production deployment on AWS (EC2/S3) with a Streamlit live-monitoring dashboard. Also has ML-in-production experience deploying and updating a recommendation model on Kubernetes (Minikube) with CI/CD via GitHub Actions, plus prior SDE experience with Jenkins-based pipelines and on-prem to AWS migration work using Glue.”

“Former CTO of EzCred, a fintech embedded finance/digital lending infrastructure startup that built an API-first underwriting and servicing platform using alternative data (e.g., GST and bank statements) to cut loan decisions from days to minutes. Helped raise $1M in seed funding, built the engineering org and compliance-ready cloud architecture, and ran partner pilots before the company shut down during COVID-driven lending market contraction.”

“Performance marketing analyst at Meta supporting Amazon who identified Amazon app users as a high-value segment (2x ROAS), built and validated a retargeting audience via rigorous A/B testing, and helped drive a global rollout across thousands of campaigns resulting in ~$80M annual revenue. Strong in experiment design, SQL-driven insight generation, and translating performance learnings into cross-platform creative and catalog strategy.”

“Meta engineer who improved a critical revenue estimation dataset pipeline that was arriving ~6 days late—diagnosed via raw logs/lineage, redesigned legacy scans to only process the needed window, and shipped validation plus freshness/lag dashboards. Delivered ~50% latency reduction (to ~3 days) and regained adoption by running old/new pipelines in parallel with gated cutover and evidence-based customer communication. Applies incident-response rigor to real-time LLM/agentic workflow debugging and regularly runs developer demos/workshops.”

“Engineering leader who modernized and unified a fragmented product suite at Milestone via a multi-year cloud-native roadmap, delivering an MVP in three quarters and boosting team velocity by 40% through cross-functional squads. At Prometheum, led a trust-building hybrid architecture (AWS control plane + customer-hosted data plane) using Kubernetes to ensure sensitive enterprise data never left customer networks while remaining cloud-agnostic across providers.”

“Operator with 20+ years experience and a business degree who led the build and deployment of a Medicaid fraud investigation product for Texas HHSC OIG, cutting investigation time from ~2 years to 90 days. Has government go-to-market experience and has raised a friends-and-family round for an earlier startup concept; now pivoting toward a healthcare-focused venture after a cofounder with core tech could not continue.”

“Chief of Staff to the COO / Strategy & Business Development leader at Annapurna who unified four distinct entertainment verticals (film, TV, interactive, theatre) into the company’s first cross-functional five-year plan. Built standardized pipeline reporting, forecasting models grounded in real execution rates, and executive dashboards that improved decision-making speed and COO leverage while navigating creative/finance tension and sensitive information.”

“Entrepreneurially minded builder focused on proving architecture concepts via minimal demo prototypes for marketing. Has hands-on experience improving an A/B experimentation framework by interviewing stakeholders, identifying system limits and bottlenecks, and defining success criteria to scale experimentation and speed up analysis.”

“Backend/data engineer with Amazon supply-chain experience building production serverless Python services and ETL pipelines on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS, Glue). Has modernized legacy SAS jobs into Python with rigorous parity testing and phased migrations, and has delivered major SQL performance gains (minutes down to seconds) through indexing and partitioning.”

“Built and shipped a real-time AI phone agent for small businesses that handles bookings/FAQs/messages using streaming ASR, an LLM with tool-calling, and TTS; deployed to production for multiple paying customers. Demonstrates strong applied LLM reliability practices (tool-first grounding, retrieval, hard-negative testing, and production monitoring) and experience orchestrating multi-step AI workflows with Airflow, Prefect, and AWS Step Functions.”

“Chief of Staff to the COO of firmwide engineering at Goldman Sachs, serving as lead strategist for a COO/CIO-sponsored program to drive operational excellence and scalability via AI/automation. Ran discovery across divisions, built governance/OKR systems, negotiated budget commitments with divisional leaders, and coordinated firmwide CFO alignment while preparing Board-level materials for executives.”

“Built an autonomous-agent document indexing concept in a hackathon with Microsoft and The Seattle Times, architecting an Azure-based system (Azure AI Foundry, Cosmos DB, Azure indexing, Copilot Studio) and coordinating closely with the customer team. Also created and pitched a sports matchmaking app (Ludicon), combining user studies, feature implementation, and technical support on sales/investor calls.”

“Backend/data engineer with healthcare/telehealth domain experience, building patient appointment and data-processing systems on AWS. Has delivered production microservices and ETL pipelines (Flask/Celery, Glue/PySpark) with strong reliability/observability practices (JWT, retries/timeouts, Sentry/CloudWatch) and modernization experience migrating SAS workflows to Python services, including a documented 10min→30sec SQL performance win.”

“Robotics engineer who helped bootstrap Meta’s humanoid robotics effort, building simulation training and deployment infrastructure for vision-language-action (VLA) models. Evaluated multiple physics backends (Bullet, MuJoCo, Isaac, internal) to minimize sim-to-real gap and addressed control-loop frequency mismatches via sequence optimization/MPC-like approaches and trajectory-output modifications. Published research that contributed a new addition to ROS 2 and has built ROS2 node stacks spanning control, perception, teleop, tactile sensing, and imaging.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built a production GPU-backed real-time inference API at Nvidia and debugged burst-induced tail latency, cutting P95 by ~29% through dynamic batching and backpressure. Also shipped an end-to-end RAG + agentic operational diagnostics assistant with strict tool controls, evidence citation, confidence gating, and strong production guardrails, plus demonstrated hands-on Postgres optimization (900ms to 40–60ms).”
