Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in cloud data platforms

Dallas, TX3y exp

“Built an AI-powered internal support assistant at CVS Health using GPT-4, LangChain, and Pinecone, applying RAG, validation, and monitoring to reduce repetitive support tickets while protecting sensitive healthcare data. Stands out for a pragmatic approach to AI engineering: using multi-agent and LLM workflows to accelerate development while keeping systems constrained, observable, and production-friendly.”

“LLM/RAG engineer with production deployments in highly regulated domains (Frost Bank and GE Healthcare). Built secure, explainable document-grounded Q&A systems using LoRA fine-tuning, strict RAG with confidence thresholds, and citation-based responses; also established evaluation/monitoring (golden QA sets, hallucination tracking, drift) and achieved ~40% latency reduction through retrieval/prompt tuning.”

“Healthcare operator/strategic program lead currently at Time Care working directly with national health insurance payer partners to translate executive priorities into operational initiatives (e.g., patient marketing, data interoperability, in-home member access). Previously led the build-out and day-to-day execution of a new value-based performance risk division at Stellar Health, combining metrics-driven operations with long-term strategy and executive alignment.”

“Built an end-to-end Alexa smart-home IoT application controlling a Wi-Fi bulb, including ESP32 firmware (MQTT) and an AWS serverless backend (IoT Core/Device Shadow, Lambda, DynamoDB) with a REST API. Demonstrates strong real-time scalability patterns (streaming ingestion, stateless processing, partition-key design) and full-stack delivery with Spring Boot + React (JWT auth, CORS, data-heavy dashboards).”

“Built and deployed a production compliance automation RAG system (at Citi) that generates citation-backed, schema-validated risk summaries for regulatory document review. Emphasizes regulated-environment reliability with retrieval-only grounding, abstention, confidence thresholds, and immutable audit logging, plus orchestration using LangChain/LangGraph and Airflow. Reported ~60% reduction in compliance review effort while maintaining high precision and traceability.”
