Brooklyn, New York11y exp

“HR Business Partner with GroupM experience supporting multiple mergers, building and transitioning Analytics/Programmatic/Account Management teams through hands-on job architecture, benchmarking, and performance management. Uses HR analytics (including an Excel-based retention model with visual reporting) and cross-functional partnership with IT to reduce disruption and improve retention during restructuring and major policy changes like return-to-office.”

“Backend/data engineer who has maintained high-traffic FastAPI microservices and delivered a hybrid AWS serverless+containers platform using Terraform and GitHub Actions, with secrets managed via Secrets Manager/SSM. Also led modernization of a mission-critical 10,000+ line SAS financial reporting engine into Python microservices and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines feeding a centralized data lake.”

“AI/ML engineer with CVS Health experience deploying production LLM systems in regulated healthcare settings, including a large-scale RAG solution (1M+ documents) built for compliance-grade, auditable policy/regulatory Q&A with strong anti-hallucination controls. Also delivered an NLP summarization system for physician notes/case narratives by partnering closely with non-technical care operations stakeholders and iterating via prototypes, dashboards, and feedback loops.”

“Data/ML practitioner with experience at Airtel and Lincoln Financial delivering measurable business outcomes: improved retention 15% via NLP sentiment analysis and cut response time ~25% using sentence-BERT + FAISS semantic linking. Strong in data quality/identity resolution (SQL + fuzzy matching) and in building production-grade Python workflows orchestrated with Airflow/AWS Glue, including validation and dashboard integration in Power BI.”

“Backend engineer with American Express experience maintaining an internal Python/Flask rewards simulation microservice used by product analysts and QA. Demonstrated strong performance and scalability work: moved batch simulations to Celery, added Redis caching to cut DynamoDB latency, and tuned Postgres/SQLAlchemy queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE and composite indexes (bringing API responses under ~200ms by queueing jobs). Also has experience integrating ML via Flask-based model-serving APIs (scikit-learn/LightGBM packaged with joblib) and designing multi-tenant data isolation and tenant-specific configuration systems.”

“Data engineer focused on AWS-based enterprise data platforms, owning end-to-end pipelines from multi-source batch/stream ingestion (Glue/Kinesis/StreamSets/Airflow) through PySpark transformations into curated datasets for Redshift/Snowflake. Emphasizes production reliability with strong monitoring/observability and data quality gates, and reports ~30% performance improvement plus improved SLAs and latency after optimization.”

“Data/analytics engineer who owned Angi’s service-request funnel event pipeline end-to-end, routing events server-side to bypass ad blockers and recovering ~15% lost tracking at millions of events/day. Built Snowflake/dbt reporting tables powering Looker dashboards, with strong emphasis on validation, monitoring/alerting, and safe schema evolution. Also shipped a reusable flow state management backend service with TTL storage, CI/CD, and developer-friendly APIs.”

“Data engineer focused on reliable, production-grade pipelines and data services: has owned end-to-end ingestion-to-serving workflows processing millions of records/day, using Airflow, Python/SQL, and PySpark. Demonstrates strong operational rigor (monitoring, retries, idempotency, backfills) and measurable outcomes (98% stability, ~30% faster processing), plus experience exposing curated warehouse data via versioned REST APIs.”

“Data engineer in a banking context who has owned end-to-end Azure lakehouse pipelines ingesting financial/vendor data from APIs, Azure SQL, and flat files into Databricks/Delta (bronze-silver-gold). Emphasizes production reliability via schema-drift validation, data quality controls, monitoring/alerting, retries/checkpointing, and Spark/Delta performance tuning, with outputs served to BI/reporting teams (e.g., Tableau).”
