Vetted ETL Professionals

“AI/backend-focused builder who has shipped two distinct applied AI products: a game discovery platform with vector search + RAG chat, and an AI accounting platform for small businesses. Stands out for combining product discovery with hands-on system design, including sub-100ms retrieval performance, privacy-conscious financial workflows, and measurable impact like 58% compute-time reduction and support for 24,000+ user profiles.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM hallucination detection and monitoring pipeline using semantic-level entropy (embedding-clustered multi-generation variance) to flag unreliable outputs in downstream automation. Implemented a scalable async architecture (FastAPI + Docker + Redis/Celery) with strong observability (structured logs + PostgreSQL) and developed evaluation loops combining controlled prompts and human review; also partnered with non-technical stakeholders on AI-driven form validation/document processing.”

“AI engineer who built an agentic, production-deployed LLM workflow for tobacco violation parsing and automated multi-case creation, using six specialized agents and a human-in-the-loop confidence-threshold routing design. Addressed data privacy constraints by generating synthetic datasets with LLM prompting, and orchestrated reproducible end-to-end pipelines in LangChain with robust testing and evaluation (precision/recall, micro-F1).”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience spanning research and healthcare: owned a Python/SQL data pipeline that transformed vulnerability-fix code data from SQLite into model-ready JSON for LLM analysis. Also deployed Dockerized Spring Boot microservices to Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and built Kafka-based real-time event streaming (appointment/report events) with idempotent consumers to avoid duplicate processing.”

“ML-focused builder who has shipped an end-to-end income-class prediction product: built the data pipeline, trained models, deployed via Streamlit with a live UI, and tracked success via accuracy (84%), adoption, and latency. Demonstrates strong practical MLOps instincts (Docker/Streamlit Cloud, logging/monitoring, caching) and data engineering reliability patterns (schema checks, idempotency, retries, backfills) while iterating quickly in ambiguous, solo-project environments.”

Miami, Florida5y exp

“Full-stack engineer from Larix Technologies who led a Next.js migration feature: an internal real-time workflow status dashboard built with App Router/TypeScript using server components for initial render and client polling for live updates. Demonstrates strong post-launch ownership—monitoring latency/error rates, adding caching and payload reductions, and optimizing Postgres queries/indexes—plus experience building durable RabbitMQ-based message routing workflows with idempotency, retries, and dead-letter queues.”

“Full-stack and AI product engineer who built and deployed two end-to-end projects: TrekTale, a travel story management app, and PromptCraft Finance, an AI-powered financial assistant using multiple open-source LLMs. Particularly strong in turning ambiguous product ideas into modular, production-oriented systems with typed frontend/backend contracts, multi-model inference pipelines, structured outputs, and monitoring for latency, reliability, and regressions.”

Hayward, CA8y exp

“Full-stack/backend engineer with startup-style experience spanning healthcare and B2B infrastructure SaaS. Has worked across Python, Go, and React/TypeScript, including migrating services from Node.js to Go, building microservices and dashboards, and delivering measurable API performance gains through database tuning and Redis caching.”

“Built and productionized LLM-powered workflows that generate contextual insights from structured financial data, including prompt/retrieval design, data standardization, and reliability controls like rate limiting and batching. Also diagnosed and fixed real-time failures in an automated order validation system using logs/metrics, staging reproduction, edge-case handling, retries, and alerting, while supporting sales/customer teams with demos, scripts, and FAQs to drive adoption.”

“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).”

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.”
