Vetted PySpark Professionals

“ML/AI engineer with defense and commercial analytics experience: deployed a real-time aerial object detection system at Dynetics (YOLOv5 + TorchServe in Docker on AWS EC2) with drift-triggered retraining and 99.5% uptime, tackling ambiguous targets and weather degradation. Previously at Fractal Analytics, built and explained a churn prediction model for marketing stakeholders using SHAP and delivered it via a Flask API into dashboards, driving a reported 22% attrition reduction.”

“ML/NLP practitioner focused on financial-services document intelligence and compliance workflows—built an end-to-end pipeline to classify documents and extract financial entities from loan applications, emails, and statements stored in S3/internal databases. Strong in entity resolution/record linkage and in productionizing pipelines with GitHub Actions CI/CD, testing, data validation, and Docker, plus semantic search using OpenAI embeddings and a vector database.”

“Data/ML practitioner with experience at UnitedHealth Group building a fraud claims detection solution combining structured claims data and unstructured notes, validated with compliance stakeholders to improve actionable accuracy. Also applied embeddings, vector databases, and fine-tuned language models in a Bank of America capstone to detect threats/anomalies in financial documents, with production-minded Python ETL workflows using Airflow.”

“Backend engineer with fintech/banking experience (Fifth Third Bank) who built a production payment and reconciliation microservice stack on AWS (Java, PostgreSQL/MySQL, DynamoDB, Kafka) handling thousands of daily transactions and solved real-world reliability issues like duplicate processing and peak latency. Also shipped an LLM-powered ops investigation feature with structured prompt flows, validated internal data integration, and strong guardrails plus human-in-the-loop escalation.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with banking experience (M&T Bank) who has built a GPT-4 RAG system using LangChain and Pinecone to connect unstructured customer data with internal knowledge bases, improving accuracy and reducing manual lookup time by 50%+. Strong in entity resolution and productionizing scalable Python data workflows, including major performance wins by migrating bottleneck joins from Pandas to Dask.”

“Applied ML practitioner who deployed a near-real-time water-quality monitoring tool for Gwinnett County by fusing ESA satellite imagery with in-situ measurements to predict chlorophyll-A and support early warnings for harmful algal blooms. Also working on a multimodal deep-learning project combining skin lesion images with patient tabular/text data (TensorFlow, embeddings) to predict melanoma risk.”

“AI/LLM engineer who has shipped production RAG systems (including a 250K-document compliance knowledge tool on AWS) and focuses on reliability via citations, guardrails, and rigorous evaluation (Ragas/Opik/DeepEval). Also built a LangGraph-orchestrated webcrawler agent that cut research paper extraction from hours to minutes, and collaborated with clinical teams to deliver patient volume forecasting with an optimization layer for staffing.”

“TypeScript backend/full-stack engineer who owned an internal business workflow platform end-to-end in production, including API/data design, relational DB integration, and enterprise integrations. Has hands-on experience operating workflow processing services with Kafka-style event-driven patterns, idempotency, exponential backoff retries, dead-letter queues, and strong observability, plus API design with OpenAPI/Swagger and token-based auth.”

“Data engineer with Charter Communications experience modernizing large-scale AWS data lake pipelines: ingesting S3 data, validating against legacy systems, transforming with PySpark/Spark SQL, and serving via Iceberg/Delta tables. Worked at 50M–300M record scale, delivered >99.5% data match, and built monitoring/alerting (CloudWatch/SNS) plus retry orchestration (Step Functions) and data quality gates (Great Expectations).”
