Vetted Pinecone Professionals

“Backend engineer with experience modernizing a large-scale procurement platform at Jio Platforms by breaking a monolith serving 35 business units into Spring Boot microservices, improving uptime and cutting report latency ~30%. Also built high-concurrency FastAPI systems (200ms at ~500 concurrent users) with strong security (JWT/OAuth2/RBAC), event-driven Kafka integrations, and reliability patterns like exactly-once delivery for ~1M monthly triggers.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI Python APIs and AWS-native platforms (Lambda/API Gateway, SQS, ECS Fargate) with Terraform + GitHub Actions CI/CD and strong reliability practices (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts, structured errors/logging). Also built AWS Glue ETL pipelines (S3/RDS to curated S3/Athena) with schema evolution and data quality controls, modernized legacy processing via parallel-run validation and phased cutovers, and has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (seconds to <200ms) plus incident ownership for batch pipeline SLAs.”

“Built and operates a production LLM agent for enterprise IT operations that triages and drafts resolutions for high-volume ServiceNow tickets using LangChain + RAG (Pinecone/pgvector) and AWS Bedrock/OpenAI. Emphasizes reliability with schema-validated stages, offline eval datasets from real tickets, and CloudWatch-driven monitoring/guardrails; system scales to 40K+ tickets/month and cut resolution time ~28%.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in enterprise AI and FinTech integrations

San Francisco Bay Area, CA2y exp

“Built and deployed an enterprise AI testing solution at a startup, then customized and scaled it inside Citigroup over the course of a year to support 40+ projects and 1,000+ daily users. Brings hands-on production experience with multi-agent LLM workflows, RAG, enterprise deployment infrastructure, and real-world incident handling in AI-driven data pipelines.”

“Built a production LLM-powered fraud detection platform at Wells Fargo, combining OpenAI/Hugging Face models with RAG-based explanations to make flagged transactions interpretable for risk and compliance teams. Delivered low-latency, real-time inference at high scale on AWS (SageMaker + EKS), with strong observability and security controls, reducing manual reviews and false positives in a regulated environment.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI platforms and full-stack systems

Santa Clara, CA4y exp

“Built and shipped a production AI-powered Q&A/RAG onboarding assistant at One Community Global that unified knowledge across Notion, Google Docs, and Slack, cutting volunteer onboarding time by 45%. Demonstrates strong end-to-end ownership: LangChain agent orchestration integrated into a FastAPI backend, rigorous evaluation (200-query dataset, ~85% accuracy), and production feedback/monitoring with source-attributed answers to build user trust.”

“AI engineer who built a production e-commerce system that analyzes product images alongside sales and demographic data to generate actionable creative recommendations, now used by 20+ clients. Also built orchestrated document/agent pipelines (Airflow, LangGraph) including a compliance drift detector auditing 401 compliance documents, with an emphasis on traceability, logging, and production integration.”

“Built and productionized a tool-first, multi-agent framework that augments an anomaly detection model with domain context to generate trustworthy, evidence-backed anomaly explanations (including false-positive likelihood). Architected the platform to be model/orchestration/vectorDB agnostic (e.g., GPT + CrewAI + ChromaDB vs Claude + LangGraph + other vector DB) with strong performance, reliability, and OpenTelemetry-based observability. Also built a personal LangGraph-based "mock interviewer" agent that asynchronously fuses voice + live code input using state reducers, stop conditions, and fallback routing.”

“Built a production real-time anomaly detection platform for high-frequency trading at HSBC, using a streaming stack (Pulsar + Spark Structured Streaming + AWS Lambda) and a transformer-based model combining time-series and numerical signals. Experienced in MLOps and safe deployment (Kubernetes, canary releases, MLflow/Grafana monitoring) and in aligning model performance with risk/compliance expectations through SLA-driven tuning and stakeholder-friendly dashboards.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based document Q&A system on Azure OpenAI to help business teams search thousands of PDFs/Word files, using Qdrant vector search, MongoDB, and a Flask API. Demonstrates strong production engineering (streaming large-file ingestion, parallel preprocessing, monitoring/retries) plus systematic prompt/embedding/chunking experimentation to improve accuracy and reduce hallucinations, and has hands-on orchestration experience with ADF/Airflow/Databricks/Synapse.”

“ML/NLP engineer who built a RAG-based technical assistant for Caterpillar field engineers, transforming PDF keyword search into intent-based semantic retrieval across manuals, logs, sensor reports, and technician notes. Strong in productionizing data/ML systems (Airflow, PySpark) with rigorous preprocessing, entity resolution, and evaluation—delivering measurable gains in accuracy, relevance, and duplicate reduction.”

“Currently at Huntington Bank, built a production-grade RAG system that helps business/operations teams get grounded answers from large volumes of internal enterprise documents. Owns ingestion and FastAPI backend, tuned hybrid BM25+vector retrieval and chunking for relevance, and evaluates reliability with metrics and observability (LangSmith, CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana) while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders.”
