“Backend engineer with American Express experience maintaining an internal Python/Flask rewards simulation microservice used by product analysts and QA. Demonstrated strong performance and scalability work: moved batch simulations to Celery, added Redis caching to cut DynamoDB latency, and tuned Postgres/SQLAlchemy queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE and composite indexes (bringing API responses under ~200ms by queueing jobs). Also has experience integrating ML via Flask-based model-serving APIs (scikit-learn/LightGBM packaged with joblib) and designing multi-tenant data isolation and tenant-specific configuration systems.”

“Backend/ML platform engineer in the insurance domain who built and shipped an AI-driven risk scoring/fraud detection service for underwriting. Runs containerized .NET Core and Python inference services on Azure (AKS + GPU nodes) with Terraform/ARM and Azure DevOps CI/CD, and has hands-on experience improving reliability under peak load plus implementing production AI guardrails (drift monitoring, fallbacks, human review, audit logs).”

“Cloud/DevOps engineer (6+ years) with healthcare domain experience who has owned production AWS systems end-to-end—building real-time data pipelines and an admission forecasting ML service delivered via API and Tableau. Led EMR modernization from on-prem/VMs to containerized AWS using phased migration and blue-green deployments, achieving ~99.5% uptime while cutting on-prem footprint ~30% and driving major automation gains (up to ~90% manual work reduction).”

“Data engineer focused on AWS-based enterprise data platforms, owning end-to-end pipelines from multi-source batch/stream ingestion (Glue/Kinesis/StreamSets/Airflow) through PySpark transformations into curated datasets for Redshift/Snowflake. Emphasizes production reliability with strong monitoring/observability and data quality gates, and reports ~30% performance improvement plus improved SLAs and latency after optimization.”

“Backend engineer (Marsh McLennan) who evolved a high-volume claims automation pipeline in Python, emphasizing thin APIs with background job processing, strong validation/retries, and production-grade observability. Experienced in secure FastAPI API design (centralized JWT/RBAC), multi-tenant Postgres/Supabase-style row-level security, and low-risk refactors using parallel runs and feature flags; targeting founding-engineer scope roles.”

Yonkers, NY3y exp

“Software engineer who built and launched an end-to-end Ad Scheduler that automated campaign creation across Google Ads and Meta using Azure Functions/Service Bus, PostgreSQL, and a React frontend—reducing manual marketing ops work. Also shipped a production internal RAG chatbot leveraging a data warehouse + Cube semantic layer, Gemini embeddings, vector search, and Claude, with Langfuse tracing and brand-based access controls; work was cut short due to layoffs.”

Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in cloud data pipelines for healthcare and financial services

Bloomfield, CT4y exp

“Data engineer with ~4 years of experience (Cigna) building and operating Azure Data Factory pipelines for healthcare claims/member/provider data at 2–3M records/day. Emphasizes reliability and downstream safety via schema/data-quality validation, quarantine workflows, idempotent processing, and backfills; also improved runtime ~20% through SQL optimization and served curated datasets through versioned views and well-documented, analyst-friendly interfaces.”

“Data Engineer (TCS) who owned an end-to-end CRM analytics pipeline for Bayer’s eSalesWeb integration, ingesting from Salesforce APIs/databases/S3 and serving analytics-ready datasets via PostgreSQL/S3 for Tableau. Drove measurable outcomes: ~60% reduction in manual data-quality effort, ~30% lower latency through SQL optimization, and ~35% improved stability via monitoring, retries, and idempotent processing.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in FinTech and enterprise platforms

Plano, TX6y exp

“Engineer with a pragmatic, production-focused approach to AI-assisted development, using tools like Copilot and ChatGPT to accelerate coding while maintaining strict validation for correctness, security, and performance. Particularly notable for building a multi-agent incident-resolution workflow for a financial platform, with specialized agents for log analysis, root cause identification, fix suggestions, and test generation.”

“Built an itinerary-planning startup MVP (LessGO) using React/TypeScript and a Node/Express backend integrating Google Maps and Gemini AI. Notably optimized Gemini latency from ~40 seconds to ~3 seconds through frontend caching, debugging, and model selection, and has TA experience supporting others with deployments and database connectivity.”
