Vetted Data Quality Professionals

“Data engineer focused on large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines across cloud stacks (GCP and AWS), including Spark-based transformations and orchestration with Airflow. Has experience loading up to ~2TB per BigQuery target table and designing atomic loads to multiple downstream systems (Elasticsearch + Kafka), with Kubernetes deployment and Jenkins CI/CD.”

“Data engineer with experience at Bloomberg, UBS, and Bank of America building high-volume financial data platforms and services. Owned an end-to-end pipeline processing ~150–200M records/day (Kafka/Cassandra/S3 → Spark/PySpark → Snowflake) with strong data quality controls and Airflow reliability practices, reporting ~99% reliability and major performance gains. Also built large-scale external API ingestion with compliance-minded rate limiting, schema versioning, and quarantine/validation layers.”

Director-level Data Science Manager specializing in ML forecasting, experimentation, and MLOps

New York, NY6y exp

“Data/ML engineer with experience at American Express and Amazon, owning an end-to-end rewards redemption/liability ML pipeline (~200GB) with rigorous regulatory/audit validation and quarterly executive reporting. Also built web-scraped product datasets with anti-bot protections at a startup and helped modernize an authn/authz service using AWS, plus led early-stage migration work from an internal warehouse to GCP with CI/CD and cloud observability.”

“Data/analytics engineer who built and operated a DocuSign-based real-time analytics platform end-to-end, processing 20–50k webhook events/day with ~99.5% reliability. Strong in idempotent event processing, schema-evolution-safe ingestion (raw JSON + dynamic parsing), and serving data via versioned, low-latency REST APIs with solid CI/CD and observability.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across Python/FastAPI services and AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, ECS) delivered via Terraform and GitHub Actions. Built Glue-to-Redshift ETL pipelines with Step Functions retry/catch patterns, schema evolution safeguards, and data quality checks; also modernized a legacy SAS monthly reporting system into Python microservices with rigorous side-by-side parity validation. Demonstrated strong SQL tuning skills with a reported improvement from 5 minutes to 15 seconds.”

“Analytics professional with experience at McKinsey & Company and Dell Technologies, focused on turning messy operational and business data into trusted dashboards and decision tools. They combine SQL, Power BI, and Python to solve data quality issues, define metrics like retention, and deliver measurable impact such as a roughly 30% reduction in manual reporting time.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production systems spanning classical ML fraud detection and GenAI agent workflows. At Fidelity, they built an end-to-end fraud platform that improved review queue Precision@K by 15-20% while reducing false positives 10-15%, and they also shipped RAG-based agent systems that cut manual workflow effort by 30-40%.”

“Data engineer at Plaid who built greenfield, end-to-end real-time transaction pipelines and FastAPI data services for fraud detection and analytics, handling millions of events per day. Strong focus on reliability and data integrity via Great Expectations validation, Airflow-based monitoring/SLAs, quarantine/staging patterns, and robust external data ingestion with schema versioning and backfills (reported 50% fewer anomalies and ~40% fewer failures).”

“Data engineer/backend developer with experience owning end-to-end, high-volume data pipelines for ML/analytics using Python, Airflow, SQL, and PySpark, reporting ~30% error reduction through improved reliability and data quality checks. Has also built Django-based REST APIs with caching/pagination and strong versioning practices, and operated external data collection/web scraping pipelines with anti-bot measures, monitoring, retries, and idempotent backfills.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML and full-stack systems

Seattle, WA4y exp

“Full-stack engineer at Bank of America who built and iterated a real-time transaction monitoring/fraud detection system processing 50K+ daily transactions, improving latency (25%), dashboard performance (30%), and reducing manual investigation time (40%) while meeting PCI DSS via OAuth2 and RBAC. Also built a scalable ETL pipeline for messy financial data with strong reliability/observability (ELK, retries, DLQ), boosting data integrity from 87% to 99% and sustaining 99.8% uptime.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building credit/fraud enrichment services and checkout pipelines on AWS (EKS + Lambda) using FastAPI, Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, with a strong focus on reliability patterns (timeouts/retries/circuit breakers) and observability. Has also built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL into S3/Redshift with schema evolution and data quality controls, and modernized legacy credit decisioning into Java/Node microservices with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flag rollouts.”

“Built and deployed a production AI/ML SRE copilot that uses RAG over real-time Splunk signals plus deployment/runbook data to generate grounded incident summaries and next steps, cutting time-to-contact by 30%. Treats the knowledge corpus like a production dataset (quality gates, semantic chunking, metadata enrichment) and runs golden-dataset automated evals to ensure reliability, while partnering closely with ops/support leaders through discovery sessions and metric-driven demos.”
