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/GenAI engineer with strong end-to-end production ownership across predictive ML, RAG systems, and LLM routing. They pair solid platform engineering skills with measurable business impact, including 15% churn reduction, 35% support ticket deflection, 45% GenAI cost savings, and a shared inference library that cut deployment time from weeks to days.”

“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%.”

“Senior growth/partnership leader operating at the intersection of cloud, AI, and creator/gaming ecosystems. Has driven >20% QoQ revenue growth and double-digit user growth via ecosystem partnerships, design-partner pilots, and referral loops, and reports shortening sales cycles 25–30% through a strong telecom/enterprise network (Verizon, Dish, T-Mobile, Scotiabank; earlier Cisco/Ericsson).”

“Built and shipped a production multi-agent, voice-based conversational assistant for older adults’ daily health management using Vertex AI, FastAPI, Firebase/Firestore, and Cloud Run, with a custom cross-session memory design to keep responses context-aware at low latency. Also partnered with caregivers/elderly users and health officials, translating needs into workflows and explaining HIV risk predictions with SHAP and dashboards.”

“Active in the venture ecosystem as a Rogue Women's Fund fellow and angel investor, with memberships in Gaingels and Angel Squad (HustleFund). Interested in founding a company to leverage extensive experience, and evaluates ideas through market need and economic viability of the target population.”

“Entrepreneur building a bootstrapped AI-based personal agent (inspired by Claude desktop) aimed at making AI assistance accessible to non-technical users. Motivated by improving individuals' daily lives by helping them organize their day and offload simple, repeatable tasks; plans to explore VC/accelerator options but has not raised capital yet.”

Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision and LLM-powered analytics

Santa Barbara, CA7y exp

“Machine learning engineer and startup veteran building InfraSketch (infrasketch.net), a full-stack system-design/diagramming product where users describe systems in plain English and an LLM agent generates and iterates on infrastructure graphs and exports design docs. Owns the entire stack (React/TS + FastAPI/Node, DynamoDB/Postgres, AWS serverless) and focuses on LLM consistency, modular agent architecture, and production-style CI/CD and reliability patterns.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience shipping production Python integrations and designing for reliability from day one, including idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling, contract checks, and full observability. Also brings web automation experience with Puppeteer and has implemented high-availability failover using load balancer liveness checks, backup environments, and cold standby architecture.”

“IBM-based cloud and AI engineer with hands-on experience owning Azure deployment workflows end-to-end, including IaC, DevOps automation, and cost/performance optimization. Also built an edge-first hospital event-detection workflow combining vision, LLM orchestration, and privacy-preserving local processing in a Nvidia/Dell hackathon that won first place.”
