Junior Data Engineer specializing in Azure, CRM data pipelines, and marketing personalization

Hyderabad, India2y exp

“LLM/AI engineer who has deployed production RAG conversational analytics and Text-to-SQL systems over Snowflake and curated data marts, emphasizing enterprise-grade guardrails for accuracy, security, and cost. Notable for a structured approach to reducing hallucinations (curated metric/table registry, SQL validation, RBAC, and citation-backed responses) and for building resilient, observable multi-step agent workflows using LangChain/LlamaIndex and Airflow.”

“Game developer with hands-on experience shipping Unity/C# systems across live ops, multiplayer, AI-driven gameplay, and cross-platform VR/mobile optimization. Particularly notable for building a data-driven live events pipeline for Tomb Raider Reloaded that empowered non-developers and cut release turnaround from days to roughly 50 minutes across four store variants.”

“Full-stack developer who uses AI deliberately rather than blindly, keeping generated code to a minority of core feature work so they retain full understanding of data flow. Built a React/TypeScript + Supabase task management app and shows strong judgment around debugging hallucinated schema/query output, refactoring for maintainability, and prioritizing security and logic over boilerplate speed.”

“Unity gameplay engineer with hands-on ownership across core game systems, multiplayer, AI/LLM integration, and cross-platform XR/mobile shipping. Particularly compelling is their combination of deep runtime optimization and systems architecture: they cut match-3 cascade frame spikes by 40-50%, eliminated a class of production race-condition bugs, and also built a local-model FastAPI-backed AI prototype with structured evaluation and cost control.”

Experienced in diagnosing agentic workflow failures using AWS Strands agents with feature-flagged debug logging, and frequently supports sales through tailored demos and POCs to drive adoption.”

“Full-stack/product-leaning engineer in logistics and high-traffic portals who ships production AI features: built an AI-assisted shipment status Q&A system using Pinecone + GPT-4 and a high-volume Python ingestion pipeline (500K+ records/day), delivering 35% fewer support tickets and cutting resolution time from 11 to 4 minutes. Also led a legacy Angular-to-React/TypeScript rebuild that boosted Lighthouse performance from 60 to 90, and has hands-on AWS EKS operations experience including resolving a 3x traffic scaling incident.”

“Full-stack engineer who has delivered production customer analytics/dashboard features using Next.js App Router + TypeScript on the frontend and Java Spring Boot microservices on the backend. Demonstrates strong production ownership (monitoring latency/error rates/adoption) plus hands-on performance work across React rendering and Postgres query/index optimization, and has implemented Temporal-like durable workflows with retries and idempotency.”

“Contingency recruiter specializing in AI and data roles, currently managing 15 live requisitions across 6 clients (consultancies and financial institutions). Uses a structured, color-coded Google Sheets system to track pipeline stages and notes, and reports a typical 2-week turnaround from intake to placement.”
