Vetted Scala Professionals

“Internship at Radar (geolocation infrastructure) where they owned automation of multiple geospatial data ingestion pipelines (including US/Canadian address ingestion), orchestrating Spark (Scala) jobs via Python-based Airflow and using GitOps-style CI/CD workflows.”

“Built a production-style PyTorch LSTM system that generates structured piano compositions from 1200+ MIDI files, then significantly improved long-range musical coherence by implementing Bahdanau attention based on research literature. Also has internship experience using Docker Compose for containerized backend workloads and has independently used Ray to scale ML experiments across multiple GPUs, including dealing with GPU scheduling/memory oversubscription issues.”

“Backend/platform engineer with payroll domain depth who built high-volume payroll processing microservices (Java/Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis) on AWS Kubernetes and debugged major peak-cycle latency by redesigning transaction boundaries and moving to async Kafka processing (>50% latency reduction). Also shipped an LLM-powered HR assistant using RAG with strong security/guardrails (RBAC, PII masking, audit logs) that cut support tickets by 40%, and designed reliable multi-step agent workflows with retries, circuit breakers, and idempotency.”

“LLM/MLOps engineer who has shipped production systems for complaint intelligence and contact-center NLU, including LoRA/RLHF-tuned LLaMA models deployed on GKE with vLLM and Vertex AI batch pipelines to BigQuery. Demonstrates strong practical focus on hallucination control, data imbalance mitigation, and production monitoring (Langfuse) with regression testing and canary rollouts, plus experience orchestrating complex workflows with AWS Step Functions.”

“Data/ML engineer with experience across pharma (Dr. Reddy Laboratories) and financial services (Cincinnati Financial, Capital One), building production NLP and entity-resolution systems that connect messy unstructured text with enterprise SQL data. Delivered semantic search with BERT + vector DB and domain fine-tuning (reported ~35% relevance lift), and builds robust pipelines using Airflow/dbt/Spark with strong validation, monitoring, and stakeholder-aligned rollout practices.”

“Fractional CTO/lead engineer who shipped an end-to-end Next.js + FastAPI product experience (login, data processing results, chatbot Q&A) with an architecture designed to support future ML model integration. Has led large-scale engineering enablement (continuous delivery across ~150 devs/200 systems), owned production incident response with lasting test/contract improvements, and delivered a 3x productivity gain by fixing debugging/tooling bottlenecks while mentoring junior teams into independent delivery.”
