Vetted ETL Professionals

“Full-stack engineer from an early-stage AI SaaS startup who owned and shipped a production AI-powered PDF document chat and sharing feature end-to-end (React/TS + Node + Postgres on AWS). Demonstrates strong product thinking through layered success metrics and tight feedback loops, plus hands-on reliability/observability work (CloudWatch, structured logging, alarms) and robust ingestion pipeline patterns (idempotency, retries, reconciliation).”

“Data engineer focused on building reliable, production-grade pipelines and data services end-to-end, including a 50+ GB/day pipeline ingesting from APIs/files into Snowflake with PySpark/SQL transformations. Emphasizes strong data quality controls, monitoring/retries, and performance optimization, and has also shipped a Python data API with caching and backward-compatible versioning.”

“Machine learning lab assistant at Eastern Illinois University who productionized a voice-enabled conversational AI system: redesigned it with RAG, LoRA fine-tuning (including text-to-SQL), and safety guardrails, then deployed a scalable API supporting ~1,000 daily queries. Also partnered with customer-facing teams during a BlueFi internship by building demos/APIs and accelerating releases via Terraform + AWS CI/CD automation.”

“ML/NLP engineer who has built production systems end-to-end: a real-time recommendation platform (100k+ profiles) using BERTopic-style clustering and a RAG-based news summarization/recommendation stack with ChromaDB. Strong focus on scaling and reliability (GPU batching, Redis caching, Kafka ingestion, Docker/Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana) and on maintaining model quality over time via drift monitoring and retraining triggers.”

“Full-stack developer who owned and shipped an end-to-end web application for LeafNBeyond (React/Node/Postgres), deployed to production at leafnbeyond.com, with reported 35% sales growth and strong UX feedback. Also built Azure-based ETL pipelines using lakehouse/medallion architecture with validation and retry logic, and has AWS fundamentals from a master’s coursework (EC2, RDS, IAM, load balancing).”

Mid-level Full-Stack Python Developer specializing in AI/ML and backend APIs

BC, Canada15y exp

“Python/Django backend engineer with open-source experience upgrading Archivematica to Django 4.2 LTS, including resolving a tricky breaking change in datetime parsing by implementing a preservation-safe legacy timestamp conversion layer. Also built a cost-efficient, reproducible Small Language Model (Microsoft Phi-3) fine-tuning pipeline that turns CSV product data into a domain-specific searchable Q&A chatbot, with emphasis on memory optimization and overfitting prevention.”

“Built a university campus assistant chatbot (BabyJ/WWJ) using RAG and agentic routing with a FastAPI + React stack and JWT auth, focusing heavily on production concerns like latency and reliability. Uses techniques like speculative prefetching, smart intent routing, and rigorous eval/testing (golden sets, regression, edge cases) while collaborating closely with campus admin/advising teams to iterate based on real user feedback.”

“Research Analyst at Syracuse who deployed an LLM-powered lab automation system allowing researchers to run QCoDeS instrument workflows via natural language, with strong safety guardrails for real instruments and multi-instrument support. Also collaborated with non-technical stakeholders at iConsult on an audio classification/recommendation pipeline, translating business goals into metrics and Tableau dashboards with model comparisons and A/B test results.”

“LLM/RAG engineer at Connex AI who built and deployed a production healthcare agent to extract clinical insights from medical data/notes. Strong focus on real-world reliability—hallucination mitigation (citations, schema validation, confidence thresholds, rejection logic), custom LangChain orchestration (query rewriting, fallback paths), and production evaluation/observability—while collaborating closely with clinical SMEs to ensure clinical fit and time savings.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in Healthcare Data Platforms

Remote2y exp

“Backend/ML engineer with healthcare domain experience building secure Medicare/Medicaid data APIs and real-time patient risk scoring. Shipped an end-to-end ML pipeline (scikit-learn/XGBoost) served via SageMaker and integrated into Flask APIs, with strong production reliability practices (Kafka schema validation, regression replay, observability, drift monitoring, and human-in-the-loop guardrails).”

“Early-career software engineer who has already owned a real-world web product end-to-end for a 100+ member university ACM organization, including requirements gathering, UI/UX improvements, hosting, CI/CD, and ongoing maintenance. Brings hands-on React and full-stack project experience with a strong bias toward practical execution, mobile-friendly design, and reliable delivery.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on reliability in real-time sensor pipelines and ROS/ROS2 integration, with hands-on experience hardening systems against noisy data, dropouts, and network variability. Uses ROS introspection tools plus simulation (Gazebo/Webots) to diagnose latency and stability issues before hardware deployment, and supports repeatable rollouts via Docker and CI/CD.”

Little Rock, AR4y exp

“Backend engineer at Hexanika who owned a real-time fraud-detection platform: built Django microservices, integrated a GenAI anomaly-scoring model, and optimized data/infra for low-latency production (including ~40% query-latency reduction). Experienced running containerized services on AWS/GCP with Kubernetes/GKE, GitHub Actions-based CI/CD + GitOps, and building Pub/Sub streaming pipelines and on-prem-to-cloud migrations.”
