Vetted Schema Design Professionals

“Early-career candidate with a thoughtful, engineering-first approach to AI-assisted development: they use AI to accelerate implementation while retaining human ownership of architecture and final code quality. They recently built a speech-to-text workflow using Groq Whisper and showed practical judgment by designing around imperfect transcription accuracy with checks and fallback handling.”

“Backend/platform engineer who has built and run production Python/Flask + Kafka microservices processing RFID and camera/RFID fusion streams for near-real-time retail cart updates at ~4–5M events/day. Strong in reliability/performance debugging (p99 latency, Kafka lag, Cosmos DB RU hot partitions) with measurable impact including ~30% database cost reduction, and has also shipped an end-to-end vulnerability scanning workflow with DynamoDB-backed state, idempotency, and robust retry/verification guardrails.”

“Engineer with banking and industrial/IoT experience who has deployed a payment-processing microservice with zero downtime, handling Protobuf schema evolution and sensitive data migration via dual-write/checksum techniques. Demonstrates strong cross-stack troubleshooting (pinpointed intermittent distributed timeouts to a failing ToR switch port) and customer-facing Python ETL customization using plugin-based parsers and Pydantic validation, plus hands-on monitoring/alerting improvements with operators.”

“Researcher from the University of South Dakota who built a production medical RAG system to help interpret model predictions by retrieving relevant clinical notes and medical literature, overcoming retrieval accuracy and imaging-dataset challenges through semantic chunking and metadata-driven indexing. Also has hands-on orchestration experience with Airflow and Azure Data Factory, plus a pragmatic approach to LLM evaluation and stakeholder-driven iteration.”

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and LLM platforms

ServiceNow, CA5y exp

“Backend engineer focused on multi-tenant enterprise AI personalization and recommendation platforms, combining ML/LLM intent extraction with deterministic policy guardrails for compliance and auditability. Has hands-on AWS experience (ECS/Lambda/DynamoDB/S3) and led a careful DynamoDB single-table migration using dual write/read, canary + feature-flag rollouts, and strong observability/security (JWT/OAuth2, RBAC, Postgres RLS).”

CA, USA5y exp

“Full-stack engineer with fintech and AI feature experience who shipped an AI-powered project summary module in Next.js (App Router + TypeScript) with secure server-side fetching and route handlers to a FastAPI backend, then owned monitoring and performance fixes in production. Demonstrated measurable UX wins (30% faster dashboard loads) and strong backend fundamentals (Postgres indexing/EXPLAIN ANALYZE, SQS-orchestrated idempotent reconciliation workflows with DLQs and retries).”

Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in cloud data pipelines and real-time streaming

USA, USA5y exp

“Data engineer with PNC Bank experience owning high-volume financial transaction pipelines end-to-end (Kafka/REST ingestion through Spark/Glue transformations to Redshift serving) for risk and fraud analytics. Built strong reliability and data quality practices (Great Expectations, reconciliation, Airflow alerting, idempotent retries, incremental/windowed processing), reporting 40% ingestion efficiency gains and ~99.9% data accuracy.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong DevOps/AWS production experience who builds and operates multi-agent AI systems end-to-end (Streamlit/Python through Docker/Kubernetes and ECS/Fargate). Has delivered measurable outcomes: sub-2s latency and ~92% routing accuracy for an AI wellness assistant, shipped an AI-for-BI prototype in under 6 weeks cutting analysis time ~40%, and improved pipeline iteration speed ~35% via modularization and CI/regression checks.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience building a distributed ticketing system on AWS (Terraform, Go, MySQL) focused on high-concurrency reliability (locks/queues to prevent duplicate ticket confirmations) and load-tested performance. Also independently owned and shipped an Airflow automation script to stop/restart workflows during deployments with email notifications, reducing manual operational effort.”

Saumya Pailwan

Junior Software Engineer specializing in applied AI and audio ML

Evanston, IL2y exp

“Engineer with unusually mature experience leading AI-assisted development, including orchestrating multiple coding agents across a data pipeline feature as if managing a small engineering team. Stands out for balancing aggressive adoption of AI tools with disciplined judgment around architecture, security, and merge quality, and for translating that experience into stronger tech leadership.”

Harshal Sawant

Screened

Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and MLOps on multi-cloud

8y exp

“Built and productionized a secure internal RAG-based AI assistant (LangChain/FastAPI/FAISS on GCP), tackling real-world issues like latency, retrieval speed, and hallucinations—delivering 25% faster retrieval and 99.9% uptime. Also implemented scalable, reliable ML retraining orchestration with AWS Step Functions/SageMaker/Lambda and partners closely with compliance analysts to iteratively refine prompts and outputs to meet governance standards.”
