Junior Software Engineer specializing in data engineering and AI applications

Rochester, NY4y exp

“Data engineer/automation builder with experience at Rochester Regional Health and Accenture, focused on replacing fragile manual reporting with production-grade Azure, Python, and Snowflake pipelines. Stands out for combining strong systems thinking, rigorous validation, and practical AI/LLM usage to drive measurable outcomes, including a 34% throughput improvement and support for regulatory reporting that helped avoid €150M in penalties.”

“LLM/agentic-systems practitioner who has repeatedly taken LLM-driven pricing/decision services from prototype to production using pilots, guardrails, observability, and staged rollouts. Demonstrates strong real-time incident troubleshooting (dependency timeouts, cached fallbacks) and post-incident hardening (isolation/async/alerts), and also supports go-to-market via developer workshops, technical demos, and sales-aligned POCs.”

“Backend/data engineer in healthcare who built an AWS-based clinical analytics platform from scratch (DynamoDB/S3/Airflow/dbt) with sub-second clinician query goals, 99.9% uptime, and HIPAA-grade controls (KMS encryption, IAM RBAC, audit trails). Also modernized ML delivery by replacing a manual 4-hour deployment with a 30-minute Docker/GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline using parallel runs, parity testing, and rollback, and caught critical EHR data edge cases (date formats/timezones) that could have impacted patient care.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer from Valcom who maintained Django/PostgreSQL services for mass-notification/paging servers used by education/commercial/government customers. Notable for hardening authentication and reliability (JWT refresh + rotation tokens, WebSockets/EventStream) and for modernizing a legacy Ext.js/PHP stack into a React + Django architecture with strong CI/testing and production incident ownership.”

“Unity game developer who built a context-sensitive movement and camera system for a grid-based dungeon crawler and used DOTween for key gameplay animations. Worked at Chimera Entertainment on Songs of Silence, contributing via bug fixes, working within an existing Photon Fusion protocol, and implementing a UI-heavy in-game lexicon; also leverages AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to accelerate editor/tooling and gameplay scripting.”

“Cloud/hybrid infrastructure engineer with McKesson experience migrating tightly coupled healthcare applications to microservices on AWS EKS. Strong in IaC-driven standardization, CI/CD automation, and production observability (CloudWatch/Splunk/Prometheus/tracing), with demonstrated ability to debug complex incidents spanning Kubernetes and cloud networking.”

“ML/NLP engineer with hands-on experience building production systems for unstructured insurance claims and customer data linking. Delivered measurable impact at scale (millions of documents), combining transformer-based NLP, vector search (FAISS/Pinecone), and human-in-the-loop validation, and has strong production workflow/observability practices (Airflow, AWS Batch, Grafana/Prometheus).”

“ML/NLP engineer (Beyond Identity) who built production semantic search and entity-resolution systems over internal security documentation, using LDA + BERT embeddings with FAISS/Pinecone to cut search time by 30%. Also scaled a real-time anomaly detection pipeline to millions of events/day with Spark and AWS Lambda, with strong emphasis on measurable validation (Precision@k, MRR, F1, ARI).”

“QA automation engineer with strong Cypress/JavaScript experience in healthcare claims and eligibility systems, owning end-to-end regression suites that combine UI, API, and SQL/database validations. Known for catching subtle pricing/benefit calculation defects (copay/deductible/accumulator issues) before release, stabilizing flaky CI tests via API synchronization, and shaping requirements early to improve testability and reduce downstream rework.”

“Built and deployed a production Llama 3-based RAG document Q&A system using FAISS, addressing context-window limits through chunking and keeping retrieval accurate by regularly refreshing embeddings. Has hands-on orchestration experience with LangChain and LlamaIndex for multi-step LLM workflows (including memory management) and collaborates with non-technical teams (e.g., marketing) to deliver AI solutions like recommendation systems.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer (Geico) focused on AWS and Kubernetes at production scale. Has hands-on experience building secure GitHub Actions CI/CD for EKS, provisioning core AWS infrastructure with Terraform/CDK, and leading end-to-end incident response with post-incident automation to prevent recurrence; no direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

“Senior technologist (25 years experience) who served as chief architect/CTO for a patented software startup that was acquired. Strong at building scalable, robust, technology-agnostic systems and translating technical value into investor-ready narratives (forecasts, roadmaps, documentation). Currently prefers joining an existing founding team as a key technical leader/mentor rather than leading entrepreneurship solo.”

“Built and shipped AI-powered workflow automation at Oracle, including an MCP-based agentic workflow with tool-calling and guardrails, plus Grafana monitoring and Confluence documentation. Also led a Django monolith-to-microservices migration at Chamsmobile using blue-green deployment and load balancer traffic splitting to avoid regressions while modernizing production systems.”

“Frontend-focused engineer with enterprise Angular experience integrated with .NET APIs, emphasizing production-ready practices (reusable components, modular architecture, TypeScript standards, Jasmine unit tests, and CI/CD). Has not built Unreal Engine UI systems yet, but articulates how they would translate web UI modularity, separation of concerns, and testing/automation practices to Unreal/CommonUI workflows.”
