Vetted Databricks Professionals

“Applied Scientist with legal-tech experience who builds production LLM systems. Created and deployed Quibo AI, a LangGraph-based multi-agent pipeline that turns large markdown/Jupyter inputs into polished blogs and social posts, overcoming context limits via ChromaDB + HyDE RAG. Also built a large-scale iterative code-evolution workflow using multi-model orchestration (GPT/Claude/Gemini) with testing, debugging loops, and evaluation/observability practices.”

“Active in the venture ecosystem as a Rogue Women's Fund fellow and angel investor, with memberships in Gaingels and Angel Squad (HustleFund). Interested in founding a company to leverage extensive experience, and evaluates ideas through market need and economic viability of the target population.”

“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).”

Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and multimodal NLP

Austin, TX5y exp

“Built a production LLM/RAG assistant for insurance/health claims agents that ingests 100–200 page patient PDFs via OCR (migrated from local Tesseract to Azure Document Intelligence) and delivers grounded claim detail retrieval plus summaries with PII/PHI guardrails. Experienced orchestrating large workflows with Celery worker pipelines and AWS Step Functions (S3-triggered, Fargate-based batch inference/accuracy aggregation), and collaborates closely with non-technical SMEs (claims agents/nurses) through shadowing, iterative demos, and SME-defined evaluation.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack enterprise SaaS and digital marketing

Mountain View, CA10y exp

“Atlassian engineer who grew from frontend into full-stack ownership, spanning React/TypeScript UI architecture, backend data pipelines, observability, and Kotlin/Spring Boot integrations. They describe owning Confluence profile-service integration tied to signup growth, plus building a marketing analytics platform with caching, reusable components, and data-quality tooling that increased stakeholder adoption by 30%.”

Shanay Wadhwani

Screened

Mid-level Data Scientist specializing in NLP, computer vision, and applied ML

Washington, DC6y exp

“AI/ML engineer with impactful work for the World Bank across both LLM systems and computer vision, including a PRAI evaluator-assistance platform and a production UNet model for slum detection from multispectral satellite imagery. Earlier built multilingual NLP-based borrower segmentation and credit scoring at Creditmate through its acquisition by Paytm, showing strong experience in ambiguous, high-impact environments.”

“Entrepreneur building a bootstrapped AI-based personal agent (inspired by Claude desktop) aimed at making AI assistance accessible to non-technical users. Motivated by improving individuals' daily lives by helping them organize their day and offload simple, repeatable tasks; plans to explore VC/accelerator options but has not raised capital yet.”

“ML/GenAI engineer with hands-on experience shipping LLM-powered support systems at Uber, including real-time feedback analysis, ticket summarization, and retrieval-grounded knowledge systems. Stands out for combining fine-tuning, RAG, safety evaluation, and production optimization to drive measurable support outcomes like faster handling times, better resolution rates, and lower latency/cost.”

Christopher Kirby
