Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLM agents, RAG, and scalable data platforms

7y exp

“ML/data engineer who owned an end-to-end production sales analytics pipeline at 15,000+ user scale, delivering ~50% compute reduction, ~80% faster reporting, and ~$1.2M impact. Also shipped a production RAG-based AI assistant over internal BigQuery/docs with evaluation metrics and safety guardrails, and built shared Python libraries to standardize reliability and accelerate engineering teams.”

“At PwC, built and productionized an agentic RAG enterprise search assistant over 6M internal documents (8M embeddings), deployed across AWS and GCP. Drove major retrieval gains (72%→92% precision via BM25+dense hybrid with RRF and cross-encoder re-ranking), reduced hallucinations 30%, achieved <2s latency at 50–60K queries/month, and cut support tickets 30%—boosting adoption to 2,500 users by adding source-cited answers.”

“Salesforce-focused engineering leader who combines architecture depth with people leadership, operating today in a true player-coach role. They’ve built financial-services web apps on Heroku/Postgres integrated with Salesforce, navigated complex third-party API/vendor constraints, and have a strong track record of growing and mentoring teams—including developing junior hires into certified Salesforce talent and AppExchange/CI-CD contributors.”

Senior Data Scientist specializing in analytics, experimentation, and BI on AWS

Austin, TX7y exp

“Data/ML practitioner focused on healthcare data quality and record linkage: analyzed 10M+ records, built anomaly detection and NLP-driven entity resolution, and automated AWS ETL/validation pipelines (Glue/Redshift/Lambda), cutting data errors by 40% and generating $500k in annual savings. Has hands-on experience with embeddings (Sentence Transformers/spaCy), FAISS vector search, and fine-tuning for domain-specific matching.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of Python/Flask microservices and recommendation systems across edtech and telecom. Deployed and operated real-time personalization/recommendation platforms on AWS EKS with Jenkins-based CI/CD, GitOps-style declarative configs, and strong observability practices. Has migration experience moving legacy mixed environments to modern containerized Kubernetes and built Kafka pipelines feeding ML services while managing schema evolution.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience spanning real-time AI products, large-scale payments migration, internal research infrastructure, and open-source ML tooling. Particularly compelling is the mix of low-latency React/Node/TypeScript systems work, zero-downtime migration of 50,000 accounts across 12 regions, and proactive contributions to Kubeflow build and security reliability.”

Mid-level Full-Stack & AI Engineer specializing in cloud and intelligent systems

Ashburn, VA8y exp

“Builder with experience across government contracting, engineering automation, and solo AI product development. They architected a serverless AWS pipeline that converted unstructured BIM data into IFC 3D models, built an enterprise internal-data chatbot with auditability and guardrails at Steampunk, and independently launched an AI study platform using Claude. Strong fit for early-stage or ambiguous environments where end-to-end ownership and practical AI systems matter.”

“Backend/data platform engineer with production experience at Walmart and Molina Healthcare, building Python microservices on AWS (EKS + Lambda) for real-time inventory and recommendation systems. Strong in reliability/observability and incident leadership, plus modernizing legacy healthcare workflows and building resilient AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines with schema evolution and data quality controls.”

“Hands-on LLM practitioner who built a production document-processing pipeline in Python, tackling long-document handling and latency with chunking/batching and a user-driven correction feedback loop. Experienced operationalizing AI workflows with Kubernetes (CronJobs, autoscaling, scheduled data cleaning and weekly retraining) and applying structured testing/evaluation (E2E, LLM-as-judge, HITL) while communicating solutions clearly to non-technical clients using visual diagrams.”

“QA automation engineer with American Express experience owning an end-to-end UI regression suite for critical payment/transaction workflows. Rebuilt the suite with Playwright (BDD/TestNG/POM) and integrated it into CI to catch release-blocking issues like UI/backend payment mismatches and session timeout defects, and applies risk-based test strategy including MFA payment flows.”

“AI engineer (2+ years; pursuing an online MS at UIUC) who has shipped an AI-powered voice screening platform end-to-end on GCP with strong production monitoring and measurable hiring-process impact (80% reduction in unqualified pass-through; ~50+ hours saved per role). Also built and deployed an AWS-based context-aware hybrid search system using OpenSearch as a vector store, and has hands-on experience with multi-agent LLM orchestration (ReAct) and structured-output guardrails.”
