Vetted Data Warehousing Professionals

“Built and productionized a multi-agent LLM analytics assistant at eBay that routes natural-language questions to retrieval or text-to-SQL, dynamically retrieves relevant schemas via a vector DB, and executes against a data warehouse. Drove a major quality lift (text-to-SQL accuracy 60%→85%) and materially reduced time engineers/PMs spent getting data insights through strong eval/monitoring, tracing, and reliability-focused design (schema retrieval, strict JSON outputs, retries/clarifications).”

“Backend/platform engineer with significant ownership at GoDaddy, where they built a real-time personalization and decisioning system that drove about $7M in annualized revenue and serves roughly 4M requests per day. Also operates as a solo engineer for a global human-rights legal-tech nonprofit, building the full platform and graph-based matching engine for 700+ partner organizations. Brings a strong blend of production backend rigor, platform thinking, and practical AI orchestration.”

“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.”

Executive technology leader specializing in FinTech, cloud platforms, and digital transformation

Austin, TX26y exp

“Seasoned operator with 30 years of experience at multiple startup companies, primarily in venture-backed environments, plus some exposure to private equity-backed firms. The candidate is highly familiar with the VC and accelerator ecosystem, though they clarified they were pursuing a CTO role rather than actively planning to found a startup.”

“ML/GenAI engineer with strong end-to-end production ownership across predictive ML, RAG systems, and LLM routing. They pair solid platform engineering skills with measurable business impact, including 15% churn reduction, 35% support ticket deflection, 45% GenAI cost savings, and a shared inference library that cut deployment time from weeks to days.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production document intelligence and GenAI systems, spanning model experimentation, AWS deployment, monitoring, and iterative optimization. Stands out for turning document-heavy workflows into reliable, near real-time products with measurable gains in accuracy, latency, and manual-effort reduction, while also shipping citation-grounded RAG features that drove user trust and adoption.”

“Bootstrapped founder building a cybersecurity framework for cloud-native applications and startups, differentiated by significantly faster end-to-end cloud environment delivery than traditional consulting. Has experience navigating pricing models (fixed price vs time & materials) using MVP and phased delivery, and has strong familiarity with the VC/accelerator landscape with interest in healthcare (details under NDA).”

Executive Product & Technology Leader specializing in consumer digital platforms and media

Darien, CT21y exp

“CTO at Grand Slam Track (track & field league) for ~2 years, owning a broad technology portfolio across digital marketing tech, IT, broadcast technology, and athlete/data management systems. Entrepreneurial operator with repeated experience assessing product-market fit using user sentiment, demand data, demographic targeting, and A/B testing; familiar with VC mechanics and looking to deepen hands-on fundraising experience via a large network and board connections.”

“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).”

Executive CTO specializing in AI-powered transformation for enterprise SaaS

New York, NY35y exp

“Former Cisco professional who successfully pitched and got funding for adding virtualization to access routers to enable third-party application development, framing the opportunity with clear revenue upside and risk management. Highly interested in AI—especially agent-based development—and believes it lowers the barrier to building and shipping new products with small, high-caliber teams.”

“Solo technical founder building LabInsights, a healthcare middleware platform aimed at reducing missed follow-ups for abnormal lab results by layering AI-driven flagging, patient-friendly education, and prioritized care-team workflows on top of existing hospital systems. Currently validating in Bangalore with a former hospital CEO advisor, focusing on unit economics and securing LOIs/paid pilots; attracted to a venture studio to fill GTM, fundraising, and ops gaps.”

“Built and shipped production improvements to a Paylocity RAG-based AI assistant, redesigning retrieval into a hybrid HNSW + keyword pipeline and using tuned RRF to fuse rankings—cutting latency by ~2s and reducing token usage by ~5000. Previously spearheaded Apache Airflow integration across ETL pipelines at Acuity Knowledge Partners, creating reusable templates and automated triggers to reduce manual job monitoring.”

“Primary engineer at Customer Insights AI who built an end-to-end Python pipeline for 340B drug pricing compliance, using ML to detect suspicious pharmaceutical claims and benefit diversion. Stands out for combining healthcare compliance domain knowledge with production reliability practices, and for turning ambiguous analyst-driven review processes into automated workflows that cut manual review by 70%.”
