Mid-level Cybersecurity Analyst specializing in SIEM, incident response, and Zero Trust

Remote, USA3y exp

“Cybersecurity/SOC-focused engineer with hands-on production experience integrating and tuning Splunk Enterprise Security for a zero-trust program, including CIM normalization, correlation/risk-based detection tuning, and performance optimization via forwarder-level filtering and index strategy. Has cross-disciplinary incident troubleshooting experience spanning SIEM, networking, and hardware, and has automated customer/team-specific security workflows using Python in Splunk playbooks; collaborated on-site with HSBC IT/SOC teams to deliver dashboards and security policies.”

“AI/ML Engineer (TCS) who built and deployed a production LLM-powered audit transaction validation service to reduce manual review of unstructured transaction records and comments. Implemented a LangChain/Python pipeline for extraction/normalization and discrepancy detection, with strong production reliability practices (decision logging, dashboards, labeled eval sets) and a human-in-the-loop auditor feedback loop to improve precision/recall under strict data-sensitivity and near-real-time constraints.”

“Built a production LLM-powered fraud detection platform at Wells Fargo, combining OpenAI/Hugging Face models with RAG-based explanations to make flagged transactions interpretable for risk and compliance teams. Delivered low-latency, real-time inference at high scale on AWS (SageMaker + EKS), with strong observability and security controls, reducing manual reviews and false positives in a regulated environment.”

Director-level Technology Leader specializing in cloud-native platforms, AI/ML, and SaaS

Remote15y exp

“Engineering leader (Director/VP level) who has repeatedly aligned product and engineering through ROI-driven quarterly roadmaps and strong stakeholder communication, including board presentations. Built a parallel cloud team to migrate an on-prem product to the cloud, credited with delivering $9M ARR, and led a Python monolith-to-serverless event-driven microservices transformation. Currently manages distributed teams across Mexico, India, and the US using pod-based structures, clear KPIs, and a supportive accountability culture.”

“LLM/ML engineer who has shipped an enterprise RAG-based Q&A system (LangChain/LlamaIndex, FAISS + Azure Cognitive Search, GPT-3.5/4 via OpenAI/Azure OpenAI) to production on Docker + Kubernetes/OpenShift, tackling hallucinations, retrieval quality, latency/cost, and RBAC/IAM security. Also partnered with operations leaders to turn manual reporting into an LLM-powered summarization and forecasting dashboard driven by real KPIs and iterative stakeholder feedback.”

“Backend engineer at Cerebrone.ai building cloud-native Flask microservices for an AI-driven automation platform on GCP (Cloud Run/App Engine), including dedicated inference services integrating OpenAI and internal ML pipelines. Demonstrated strong performance and scalability wins across Postgres/SQLAlchemy optimization, multi-tenant (healthcare/HIPAA-grade) data isolation, and high-throughput background processing with Celery/Redis/RabbitMQ, with multiple quantified latency/CPU/throughput improvements.”

“AI/ML engineer at Cigna Healthcare building a production, HIPAA-compliant LLM-powered clinical insights platform that summarizes unstructured medical notes using a fine-tuned transformer + RAG on AWS. Demonstrates strong end-to-end MLOps and cloud optimization (distillation, Spot/Lambda/Auto Scaling) with quantified outcomes (~28% accuracy lift, ~40% less manual review, ~25% lower ops cost) and strong clinician-facing explainability via SHAP and dashboards.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems for healthcare and FinTech

3y exp

“Built Python-based clinical data processing workflows at CVS Health, automating ingestion, validation, transformation, and ML prediction across multiple healthcare systems. Stands out for combining AI-assisted development with rigorous human review, validation checkpoints, and production monitoring in regulated healthcare environments, including a reported ~26% efficiency improvement.”

“Embedded robotics software engineer specializing in C/C++ on ARM controllers, building sensor/actuator drivers and stabilizing real-time control loops under load using RTOS profiling and priority tuning. Strong ROS 2 integrator across microcontrollers and embedded Linux, with hands-on HIL testing (timing fixes, automated fault injection) and distributed robot comms via DDS, plus simulation (Gazebo/Webots) and Docker/CI/CD for reliable deployment.”

“Backend engineer with experience evolving a real-time transaction and rewards processing platform from a tightly coupled architecture into domain-based microservices. Uses REST plus Kafka for synchronous vs. asynchronous workflows, and builds Python/FastAPI APIs with Pydantic contracts, Docker/Kubernetes deployments, and JWT/OAuth-based security; has also supported analytics/dashboard use cases (Power BI).”

“Backend engineer who has delivered large, measurable performance wins (10x throughput, 67% latency reduction) by combining Flask microservices, Redis caching, and AWS autoscaling/observability. Has hands-on depth in SQLAlchemy/Postgres optimization and production scaling pitfalls (cache consistency, connection exhaustion), plus experience deploying real-time ML inference (XGBoost) on AWS Lambda and building secure multi-tenant Kubernetes isolation.”

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned end-to-end production systems in financial/claims domains, including a transaction analytics microservice platform processing ~10M daily operations and cutting latency from ~150ms to <70ms.
