Senior Backend Engineer specializing in GenAI, LLMs, and scalable data pipelines

Chicago, IL12y exp

“Backend/ML platform engineer from Snapsheet who owned production Python services and data pipelines for insurance claims, including an AI document classification/summarization FastAPI service on ECS/Fargate processing 1M+ documents/year. Strong in AWS infrastructure (Terraform, CI/CD, secrets/IAM, autoscaling), Glue/PySpark ETL with schema evolution controls, and legacy SAS-to-microservices modernization with safe, feature-flagged rollouts and measurable performance wins.”

“25+ year professional exploring entrepreneurship; previously helped develop corporate venture capital at Siemens and AVEVA and ran end-to-end diligence through deal close, with heavy technical diligence on pre-seed/pre-revenue companies. Interested in building an AI-enabled hard lending/origination approach to reduce decision-to-close time and scale in a large lending market, and prefers VC studio/EIR models with paid roles rather than equity-only arrangements.”

“Built a production LLM-powered root cause analysis agent for supply chain alerts that helped operations managers avoid manual dashboard investigation. Demonstrates unusually strong depth in agent reliability, orchestration, and observability, with concrete production practices like hallucination blocking, shadow testing on 500 cases, and data-driven improvements that raised user agreement to 94% while cutting GPT-4 usage by 60%.”

“Backend/data engineer with experience at Nike building high-volume order orchestration and validation APIs using FastAPI microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka, Redis, and Postgres. Strong in production reliability (timeouts/retries/idempotency), GitOps (Argo CD) + Terraform deployments, and data pipelines (AWS Glue/S3), with hands-on incident ownership and legacy modernization into API-driven services.”

Senior AI/ML Data Scientist specializing in recommender systems, LLMs, and MLOps

Tracy, CA11y exp

“ML/NLP leader with 12+ years of impact across LinkedIn, TikTok, and Levi's, building and productionizing multimodal recommendation and embedding-based search systems. Deep experience in entity resolution, vector retrieval, and rigorous evaluation, with cloud-native deployment/monitoring (MLflow, Airflow, SageMaker/Lambda, Azure ML, Kubernetes) and demonstrated double-digit relevance gains at millions-of-users scale.”

“AI/LLM engineer with production experience at NVIDIA and Microsoft, including building a RAG-based enterprise knowledge assistant that improved accuracy by 42% and scaled to thousands of queries. Deep in inference optimization (TensorRT-LLM, Triton, quantization, speculative decoding) and MLOps/observability (Prometheus/Grafana, MLflow, LangSmith), plus orchestration with Kubeflow/Airflow across multi-cloud.”
