Vetted Microsoft Azure Professionals

“ML/LLM engineer who built and shipped an LLM-powered internal knowledge assistant at Meta, focusing on production-grade RAG to reduce hallucinations and improve trust. Deep experience with scaling and serving (FSDP/DeepSpeed/LoRA, Triton, Kubernetes autoscaling) and reliability practices (Airflow retraining, MLflow versioning, monitoring with rollback), including sub-100ms latency and ~35% GPU memory reduction.”

“ML/NLP engineer with experience at NVIDIA and Cruise building production-grade AI systems across genomics/biomedical research and autonomous vehicle data. Has delivered multimodal LLM pipelines, large-scale entity resolution, and hybrid semantic search (BERT embeddings + FAISS + Elasticsearch), with measurable impact (≈40% accuracy/retrieval gains; ≈30% data consistency improvement) and strong MLOps practices (Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLflow, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Uber building a near real-time driver rewards service on AWS (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis) with strong reliability and concurrency controls. Also delivered AWS Lambda/ECS containerized deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD and cost governance, built AWS Glue ETL with schema-evolution handling, and drove a ~10x SQL performance improvement while owning incident response via CloudWatch.”

“Software engineer focused on personalization and data/ML infrastructure who built a GenAI/LLM-driven carousel ranking system end-to-end, delivering a reported 6–7% order-rate lift. Also designed large-scale personalization ETL (15PB for ~100M users) and created a custom Airflow operator to integrate with Databricks under enterprise version constraints, with hands-on on-call and data-quality reliability improvements.”

“NVIDIA engineer who built and shipped a production LLM-powered enterprise knowledge system (summarization, transcription, and Q&A) that cut document retrieval time ~30%. Deep hands-on experience with RAG (FAISS/Pinecone), GPU-accelerated microservices on AWS, and reliability/safety practices (Guardrails AI, prompt A/B testing, canary releases) plus strong MLOps orchestration across Airflow, Step Functions, and Kubernetes GitOps.”

“Repeat startup co-founder with multiple successful exits and significant fundraising experience (most recent raise $6M USD; prior raise £10M GBP). Interested in roles bridging investors and startups—performing due diligence and evaluating MVPs/USPs to help firms invest in the right companies and support portfolio growth toward exit.”

“Founder building an enterprise agentic AI startup who has already raised about $100K (friends & family plus self-funding). Has prior and current experience engaging VCs (including outreach to both large and small firms) and emphasizes demo-driven pitching, enterprise customer validation, and targeting billion-dollar market opportunities.”
