Vetted Data Validation Professionals

“ML/backend engineer with PayPal experience building high-stakes production systems, including a GenAI internal support assistant and a real-time fraud scoring pipeline. Strong in Python/FastAPI, model-serving infrastructure, RAG architecture, and production observability, with clear readiness to transition those backend patterns into a TypeScript stack.”

“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.”

“Platform/infra engineer with strong ownership of Kubernetes on VMware and day-to-day hybrid on-prem-to-AWS operations. Has hands-on experience automating infrastructure delivery with Terraform/Ansible/CI-CD, and has resolved real production issues spanning CSI storage reattachment during upgrades, vSphere storage-latency performance degradation, and hybrid connectivity/routing failures with improved validation, monitoring, and failover.”

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Software engineer focused on data platforms and applied LLM systems: built an internal data quality monitoring layer to catch silent data drift and iterated post-launch after finding ~30% false-positive alerts, reducing noise via dynamic baselines and improved structured logging. Also shipped a production RAG-based internal knowledge assistant over Jira/Confluence with citations, confidence-based fallbacks, and nightly automated evals to prevent regressions.”

Atlanta, GA2y exp

“Built a GenAI/RAG-based ESG questionnaire-answering agent at C3.ai, including a React dashboard with role-based access and human-in-the-loop verification by showing supporting source paragraphs. Reported outcomes included cutting a 4–5 week manual process down to about a week (~90% labor reduction) and a client-reported ESG rank improvement from 7th to 3rd.”

Junior Software Engineer and Data Scientist specializing in AI/ML systems

California, USA3y exp

“Built production-grade automation and ML/data pipelines at Dun & Bradstreet and ThreadNotion, spanning large-scale document classification, country risk report automation, and resilient Playwright testing for dynamic AI chat workflows. Particularly strong in turning brittle or ambiguous systems into reliable, observable, end-to-end automated platforms.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with experience at Liberty Mutual and Airbnb, building high-scale insurance claims systems (1M+ monthly transactions) and consumer booking/pricing services (120K–180K daily requests). Strong in transactional data integrity, PostgreSQL performance tuning, and production operations (Docker/Jenkins/AWS), with measurable UX/performance wins including ~2.3s page loads and significant runtime failure reduction.”

Shuju Sun

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in real-time data pipelines and ML deployment

PA, USA4y exp

“Ticketmaster data engineer who built CDC-driven Kafka pipelines feeding Snowflake for analytics and data science teams. Hands-on in production operations—scaled Kafka during sudden playoff-driven transaction spikes and improved monitoring for preemptive scaling. Known for using small-batch experiments and quantitative metrics to align stakeholders and drive cost-saving architecture changes (e.g., buffering to reduce AWS Lambda invocation frequency).”

“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.”

Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems and AI-enabled platforms

Jersey City, NJ7y exp

“Backend engineer with end-to-end ownership experience in high-stakes environments spanning Citibank and industrial operations. They built an internal banking platform that automated complex entitlement workflows across thousands of business units with an 80% reduction in redundant processing, and they are now applying AI through OpenAI-powered agent workflows with RAG, vector databases, and security controls.”

“Backend engineer who built and iterated a secure, multi-tenant RAG system over a large document corpus, emphasizing strict RBAC/ACL isolation, hybrid retrieval (vector+keyword), reranking, and strong observability to balance relevance, latency, and cost. Also led production refactors/migrations using strangler + feature flags/dual writes and has experience catching subtle real-world failure modes (including in a sensor calibration optimization pipeline).”
