Vetted pandas Professionals

“Backend engineer from Palantir who built and productionized an enterprise LLM-based document intelligence/search platform, evolving it into a hybrid lexical+vector retrieval system. Emphasizes reliability and cost control via strict LLM gating, robust fallback paths, and evaluation frameworks (e.g., MMLU/BLEU), plus disciplined migration practices (feature flags, dual-writes, shadow reads) to ship changes safely at scale.”

“AI/ML engineer who has shipped both a safety-critical mental health RAG chatbot (Mistral 7B + Pinecone) with automated faithfulness/toxicity monitoring and a deep Q-learning investment recommendation engine at Lincoln Financial Group. Strong in production MLOps and orchestration (AWS Lambda/CloudWatch/SageMaker, Docker, AKS) and in translating regulated-domain requirements (clinical reliability, fiduciary duty) into measurable model constraints and monitoring.”

“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.”

“Data engineer at Plaid who built greenfield, end-to-end real-time transaction pipelines and FastAPI data services for fraud detection and analytics, handling millions of events per day. Strong focus on reliability and data integrity via Great Expectations validation, Airflow-based monitoring/SLAs, quarantine/staging patterns, and robust external data ingestion with schema versioning and backfills (reported 50% fewer anomalies and ~40% fewer failures).”

“Robotics/computer-vision engineer with industrial safety monitoring experience, building real-time pose estimation (TRTPose) and 2D-to-3D localization and optimizing pipelines to sustain 30+ FPS under heavy multi-entity load. Also brings edge-to-cloud distributed systems work (HoloLens + Google Vision/Translation) and production ML deployment experience using Docker/CI/CD across finance and edge camera environments.”

“Built and shipped production improvements to a Paylocity RAG-based AI assistant, redesigning retrieval into a hybrid HNSW + keyword pipeline and using tuned RRF to fuse rankings—cutting latency by ~2s and reducing token usage by ~5000. Previously spearheaded Apache Airflow integration across ETL pipelines at Acuity Knowledge Partners, creating reusable templates and automated triggers to reduce manual job monitoring.”

“Financial systems engineer who built an automated rebalance-day order reporting and analytics tool on kdb+ pipelines, cutting a high-visibility manual process from 2–3 hours to ~2 minutes and expanding it from North America to EMEA/APAC. Also proposed an early production RAG-based incident knowledge assistant trained on ServiceNow postmortems, with guardrails to scope retrieval by application.”
