Vetted Schema Validation Professionals

“AI engineer with experience taking a GPT-4-powered GenAI career coach toward production on Azure AI Foundry, re-architecting the backend with hybrid (vector + keyword) search and RAG optimizations to cut latency by 50%. Also has client-facing TCS experience building healthcare ETL pipelines and delivering error-free monthly reports, plus current work analyzing agentic system reasoning traces and guardrail drift as an AI research fellow.”

“Data/ML engineer in financial services (Northern Trust) who built a production RAG-based LLM system to connect structured transaction/portfolio data with unstructured market and internal documents for risk teams. Strong in end-to-end pipelines (AWS Glue/Airflow/PySpark), entity resolution, and taking models from prototype to reliable daily production with performance tuning (LoRA + TensorRT) and monitoring.”

“Founding AI engineer at an AI SaaS startup who built the full GTM knowledge and retrieval stack for non-technical teams, driving 60% less manual effort and 25% faster deployments. Also brings enterprise B2B SaaS integration experience from Wipro, including external API/documentation work for large-scale partner ecosystems.”

“Recent McCombs School of Business (UT Austin) Post Graduate Program graduate in Data Science & Business Analytics with hands-on project experience spanning stock clustering/segmentation and hotel booking-cancellation prediction. Strong in end-to-end analysis workflows (EDA, cleaning, feature engineering) and rigorous model comparison/selection, with exposure to boosting methods and imbalanced-data techniques; limited experience so far with embeddings/vector databases and production deployment.”

“Built and productionized an internal GenAI chatbot that makes company policy/SOP knowledge instantly searchable, using a secure RAG architecture on AWS (Bedrock/Titan embeddings/OpenSearch Serverless, Textract/Lambda/S3 ingestion, Claude 3 Sonnet). Demonstrates strong MLOps/orchestration experience (Airflow, Step Functions with Lambda/Glue/SageMaker) and a rigorous reliability approach (RAGAS metrics, A/B testing, citation validation, monitoring), including collaboration with compliance stakeholders via review dashboards.”

“Software engineer with JPMorgan Chase experience building a real-time operations console backend on Spring Boot/Kafka/Kubernetes and resolving peak-load latency through profiling, indexing, caching, and async processing. Also built and owned an AI-driven digital-archives metadata pipeline during a master’s at UNT using OCR + LLaMA-based prompting with validation, near-human accuracy, and human-in-the-loop guardrails.”

“Backend and distributed-systems engineer with experience integrating LLM capabilities into clinical data workflows at CVS. Stands out for treating AI as an engineering accelerator rather than a shortcut, with strong emphasis on validation, observability, Kafka-based async pipelines, and safe multi-agent orchestration for production systems.”

“Built and owned an enterprise AI document-processing deployment at an automotive tech startup, taking it from discovery to stabilization. Strong in production LLM/RAG systems and backend reliability, with measurable impact including 8,000+ documents processed monthly and turnaround time reduced from nearly 24 hours to about 3 hours.”

“Cloud/ML engineer with production deployment experience on Azure (Dockerized models, managed APIs, data pipelines) who has repeatedly stabilized unreliable systems—e.g., taking an API-driven analytics pipeline from ~60% to 98% reliability and an Azure ML service from ~80% to 97% by addressing rate limits, container memory, and gateway timeouts. Also built an explainable contract-risk model for entertainment bookings (Transformers + SHAP) and integrated it into a legacy booking system via a Flask REST API, plus prior IoT work at Nissan processing CAN bus sensor streams for diagnostics/anomaly insights.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with healthcare payer experience at HCSC, focused on connecting messy unstructured clinical notes to structured claims/provider data to improve fraud-analytics workflows. Has hands-on experience fine-tuning transformers in AWS SageMaker, building large-scale embedding search with FAISS, and implementing robust entity resolution using golden datasets, precision/recall calibration, and production monitoring for drift.”

“Built and shipped an AI-powered driver ranking/assignment system at AffirmoAI using LLM intent classification + RAG over pgvector/Postgres, served via FastAPI with a React UI that explains scores. Drove measurable improvements through optimization and iteration (latency down to <800ms, adoption 60%→90%+) and implemented rigorous eval loops with dispatcher ground truth plus cold-start handling for new drivers.”

“Built an LLM-powered agent within the Nora AI analytics platform to automate e-commerce product performance analysis and generate actionable recommendations (pricing/inventory), designed with production-grade reliability patterns and observability. Emphasizes predictable, schema-validated tool/function-calling pipelines with robust fallbacks, idempotency, and guardrails for messy operational data.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in MLOps, NLP, and real-time ML pipelines

5y exp

“Built a production, real-time insurance claims document-understanding and fraud-detection pipeline using TensorFlow + fine-tuned BERT, deployed on AWS (SageMaker/Lambda/API Gateway) with automated retraining via MLflow and Jenkins. Addressed noisy documents and latency using augmentation and model distillation (3x faster), cutting claims ops manual review by ~50% and reducing fraudulent payouts.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on fintech payments and fraud systems, owning real-time Kafka-based reconciliation pipelines end-to-end (~13k tx/day). Built audit-friendly validation/reconciliation (SQL + Python), kept lag to seconds, and cut errors ~20%, while also shipping Spring Boot APIs with Redis caching and strong idempotency/versioning. Has early-stage startup experience standing up payment services on AWS with Docker + GitHub Actions and production monitoring/incident handling.”

“Built production AI agents that convert natural-language requests into structured workflows using LangChain, tool calling, and a Kafka/Kubernetes backend, with strong emphasis on tracing, validation, and self-correcting failure handling. Also drove a zero-to-one Research Day judging platform spanning React, Flask, RAG, and ILP-based assignment optimization for ~100 live posters, achieving 99% uptime and winning Best Web App.”

“Built and shipped production AI features for Aiden, including a natural-language agent and a Knowledge Hub ingestion/retrieval system. Stands out for hands-on debugging of real LLM production issues across providers like OpenAI and AWS Bedrock, improving reliability and achieving 90% response/retrieval consistency through direct LiteLLM integration, validation, monitoring, and async system design.”

“AI/full-stack engineer who has built zero-to-one internal products around LLMs, RAG, and NLP pipelines, including a conversational data interface and a production AI agent system. Stands out for combining frontend UX for non-technical users with backend/cloud architecture and measurable impact, including a reported 60% reduction in data retrieval time.”
