Executive Technology Leader specializing in enterprise data, AI, and cloud analytics

Mooresville, USA26y exp

“25-year builder/operator who has scaled others' visions and led VC-backed startup incubation work (Saltmines). Built Bridgetree’s AI CoE from 0 to 1 and cites $20M+ measurable customer impact, with experience leading 110-person cross-disciplinary teams. Exploring a new venture idea (gotAgentic.ai) focused on agentic AI solutions such as AI-ready data prep, agentic SDLC teams, and front-office automation (scheduling/invoicing).”

“AI/ML engineer with CVS Health experience deploying production LLM systems in regulated healthcare settings, including a large-scale RAG solution (1M+ documents) built for compliance-grade, auditable policy/regulatory Q&A with strong anti-hallucination controls. Also delivered an NLP summarization system for physician notes/case narratives by partnering closely with non-technical care operations stakeholders and iterating via prototypes, dashboards, and feedback loops.”

“ML/NLP practitioner who built a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system for large financial and operational document sets using Sentence-Transformers (all-mpnet-base-v2) and a vector DB (e.g., Pinecone), with a strong focus on retrieval evaluation and chunking strategy optimization. Experienced in entity resolution (rules + embedding similarity with type-specific thresholds) and in productionizing scalable Python data workflows using Airflow/Dagster and Spark.”

“AI/ML Engineer who built a production RAG-based LLM system for insurance policy documents, turning thousands of messy PDFs into a searchable index using LangChain, Azure AI Search vectors, hybrid retrieval, and FastAPI. Strong focus on evaluation (MRR/precision@k/recall@k, REGAS) and performance optimization (vLLM), with prior clinical NLP experience using BERT-based NER validated on ground-truth datasets.”

“Data engineer focused on AWS-based enterprise data platforms, owning end-to-end pipelines from multi-source batch/stream ingestion (Glue/Kinesis/StreamSets/Airflow) through PySpark transformations into curated datasets for Redshift/Snowflake. Emphasizes production reliability with strong monitoring/observability and data quality gates, and reports ~30% performance improvement plus improved SLAs and latency after optimization.”

“Backend engineer (Marsh McLennan) who evolved a high-volume claims automation pipeline in Python, emphasizing thin APIs with background job processing, strong validation/retries, and production-grade observability. Experienced in secure FastAPI API design (centralized JWT/RBAC), multi-tenant Postgres/Supabase-style row-level security, and low-risk refactors using parallel runs and feature flags; targeting founding-engineer scope roles.”

“Data/analytics engineer who owned Angi’s service-request funnel event pipeline end-to-end, routing events server-side to bypass ad blockers and recovering ~15% lost tracking at millions of events/day. Built Snowflake/dbt reporting tables powering Looker dashboards, with strong emphasis on validation, monitoring/alerting, and safe schema evolution. Also shipped a reusable flow state management backend service with TTL storage, CI/CD, and developer-friendly APIs.”

“Data engineer focused on reliable, production-grade pipelines and data services: has owned end-to-end ingestion-to-serving workflows processing millions of records/day, using Airflow, Python/SQL, and PySpark. Demonstrates strong operational rigor (monitoring, retries, idempotency, backfills) and measurable outcomes (98% stability, ~30% faster processing), plus experience exposing curated warehouse data via versioned REST APIs.”

“Data engineer in a banking context who has owned end-to-end Azure lakehouse pipelines ingesting financial/vendor data from APIs, Azure SQL, and flat files into Databricks/Delta (bronze-silver-gold). Emphasizes production reliability via schema-drift validation, data quality controls, monitoring/alerting, retries/checkpointing, and Spark/Delta performance tuning, with outputs served to BI/reporting teams (e.g., Tableau).”

Mid-level Data Scientist specializing in ML, NLP, and Generative AI

Tempe, AZ4y exp

“Data engineering / ML practitioner with experience at MetLife building transformer-based sentiment analysis over large unstructured datasets and productionizing pipelines with Airflow/PySpark/Hadoop (reported 52% efficiency gain). Also implemented embedding-based semantic search using Pinecone/Weaviate to improve retrieval relevance and enable RAG for customer support and document matching use cases.”

Mid-level Full-Stack & AI Engineer specializing in cloud, data platforms, and LLM automation

Houston, TX5y exp

“Software engineer/product builder who has owned an agentic affiliate lead-gen platform end-to-end (Django + React/TypeScript) and deployed it on Kubernetes in anticipation of 10x user growth from ~5K DAUs. Also has healthcare claims microservices experience using Kafka, including hands-on performance tuning to address consumer lag and broker pressure, and built an internal downtime alerting tool adopted across the organization.”

Senior Marketing Analytics & Operations Analyst specializing in performance marketing and BI

Albert Lea, MN4y exp

“Paid media/demand gen marketer who owned a $50K/month multi-brand budget (five business units) across Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads. Ran structured A/B tests and made fast budget reallocations based on benchmarks (CTR/CPL/lead quality), and diagnoses performance declines via funnel and saturation analysis (frequency/overlap) to stabilize CPAs and restore volume.”
