Vetted ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) Professionals

“AI Engineer with production experience building an LLM-powered conversational scheduling assistant (rules-based + OpenAI GPT agents) and improving responsiveness by ~40% through architecture optimization. Strong in orchestration (Airflow), containerized deployments, and data quality (Great Expectations/PySpark), with prior work automating population health reporting pipelines (Azure Data Factory → Snowflake) and delivering insights via Tableau to non-technical stakeholders.”

“Built and deployed production LLM systems for summarizing sensitive legal and financial documents, emphasizing GDPR-aligned privacy controls and scalable hybrid cloud architecture. Experienced with Kubernetes/Airflow orchestration and rigorous testing/monitoring practices, and has delivered measurable business impact (18% conversion lift) by translating AI outputs for non-technical marketing stakeholders.”

“Research assistant at St. Louis University who built and deployed a production document-intelligence RAG system (Python/TensorFlow, vector DB, FastAPI) on AWS, focusing on grounding to reduce hallucinations and latency optimization via caching/async/batching. Also developed a personalized recommendation system for the Frenzy social platform and partnered closely with product/UX to define metrics and iterate on hybrid recommenders and cold-start handling.”

“Startup-focused tech leader with 20+ years of experience who has led engineering teams across multiple startups and pitched inside VC firms. Currently building infrastructure for managing physical wealth—creating a canonical data layer that integrates with wealth management systems to account for precious metals and other tangible assets—and is prepared to raise capital to align with the right partners.”

“Data engineer who has owned production pipelines end-to-end, ingesting 50–100 GB/day from APIs/S3 and near-real-time Kafka into Snowflake with strong data quality gates (Great Expectations/dbt) and Airflow-based reliability (SLAs, alerting, dashboards). Also built a Snowflake-backed REST data API with caching/pagination and versioned endpoints, and designed a compliant, scalable web-scraping system with anti-bot handling and safe backfills.”

“Backend/data engineer who built a production analytics data service (Python/FastAPI on AWS/Postgres with PySpark ETL) handling millions of records per day and drove major latency improvements (10–15s to <2s) via indexing, Redis caching, and shifting aggregations into ETL. Also shipped an LLM-based natural-language-to-SQL assistant end-to-end with strong guardrails (schema restrictions, read-only validation, RBAC, masking) and designed a multi-step agent workflow with verification and fallback logic.”
