Director-level Data Science Manager specializing in ML forecasting, experimentation, and MLOps

New York, NY6y exp

“Data/ML engineer with experience at American Express and Amazon, owning an end-to-end rewards redemption/liability ML pipeline (~200GB) with rigorous regulatory/audit validation and quarterly executive reporting. Also built web-scraped product datasets with anti-bot protections at a startup and helped modernize an authn/authz service using AWS, plus led early-stage migration work from an internal warehouse to GCP with CI/CD and cloud observability.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on ROS2 motion and calibration systems—built a trajectory generator/low-level controller using TOPPRA that improved robot motion speed by 11x while increasing accuracy. Experienced making high-frequency robot communication more real-time (core isolation) and shipping ROS2 modules via Docker-backed CI/CD, including serving as release manager coordinating reviews, release notes, and QA.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in real-time data pipelines and ML deployment

PA, USA4y exp

“Ticketmaster data engineer who built CDC-driven Kafka pipelines feeding Snowflake for analytics and data science teams. Hands-on in production operations—scaled Kafka during sudden playoff-driven transaction spikes and improved monitoring for preemptive scaling. Known for using small-batch experiments and quantitative metrics to align stakeholders and drive cost-saving architecture changes (e.g., buffering to reduce AWS Lambda invocation frequency).”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production document intelligence and GenAI systems, spanning model experimentation, AWS deployment, monitoring, and iterative optimization. Stands out for turning document-heavy workflows into reliable, near real-time products with measurable gains in accuracy, latency, and manual-effort reduction, while also shipping citation-grounded RAG features that drove user trust and adoption.”

“ML/AI engineer focused on production-grade model reliability: built a monitoring and validation framework to detect drift, trigger anomaly alerts/retraining, and maintain consistent performance for device intelligence workflows at scale. Strong MLOps background with Python pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes deployments, Airflow orchestration, and real-time monitoring dashboards; experienced partnering with product managers to deliver business-facing insights.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production systems spanning classical ML fraud detection and GenAI agent workflows. At Fidelity, they built an end-to-end fraud platform that improved review queue Precision@K by 15-20% while reducing false positives 10-15%, and they also shipped RAG-based agent systems that cut manual workflow effort by 30-40%.”

“AI/ML engineer who has shipped both a safety-critical mental health RAG chatbot (Mistral 7B + Pinecone) with automated faithfulness/toxicity monitoring and a deep Q-learning investment recommendation engine at Lincoln Financial Group. Strong in production MLOps and orchestration (AWS Lambda/CloudWatch/SageMaker, Docker, AKS) and in translating regulated-domain requirements (clinical reliability, fiduciary duty) into measurable model constraints and monitoring.”

Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and multimodal NLP

Austin, TX5y exp

“Built a production LLM/RAG assistant for insurance/health claims agents that ingests 100–200 page patient PDFs via OCR (migrated from local Tesseract to Azure Document Intelligence) and delivers grounded claim detail retrieval plus summaries with PII/PHI guardrails. Experienced orchestrating large workflows with Celery worker pipelines and AWS Step Functions (S3-triggered, Fargate-based batch inference/accuracy aggregation), and collaborates closely with non-technical SMEs (claims agents/nurses) through shadowing, iterative demos, and SME-defined evaluation.”

“Data engineer/backend developer with experience owning end-to-end, high-volume data pipelines for ML/analytics using Python, Airflow, SQL, and PySpark, reporting ~30% error reduction through improved reliability and data quality checks. Has also built Django-based REST APIs with caching/pagination and strong versioning practices, and operated external data collection/web scraping pipelines with anti-bot measures, monitoring, retries, and idempotent backfills.”
