Vetted SQL Professionals

“Applied NLP/ML engineer with experience at KeyBank and Novartis building production document intelligence and entity-resolution systems in finance and healthcare. Has delivered end-to-end pipelines (Airflow + AWS) using transformers (DistilBERT/Sentence-BERT), vector search (FAISS/Milvus/Pinecone), and human-in-the-loop labeling to achieve measurable gains (40%+ faster queries; up to 88% F1 and 93% precision/90% recall in entity linking).”

“Computer science capstone project: built a UE5 VR campus virtual-tour simulator using Blueprint scripting, including trigger-box interactions that display building/department info. Spent significant time in QA/playtesting to reduce motion sickness and improve UX, and handled a challenging asset pipeline by converting/optimizing high-detail AutoCAD/scan-derived building models via Blender—ultimately creating a custom plugin to help with conversion.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and NLP

Chicago, IL4y exp

“GenAI/LLMOps practitioner who deployed a production RAG-based customer service and knowledge retrieval system for a global bank using LangChain, FAISS/Azure Cognitive Search, GPT-4/Claude, and Guardrails—driving a reported 35% Q&A accuracy lift while reducing handle time and escalations. Also partnered with non-technical leaders at CVS Health to deliver ML-driven supply chain risk and inventory insights via anomaly detection, NLG summaries, and stakeholder-friendly dashboards.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building reliable Python FastAPI services on Kubernetes and delivering AWS EKS + Terraform CI/CD with strong secrets isolation and rollback practices. Also built AWS Glue ETL pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution handling and data-quality controls, modernized legacy analytics into modular Python services with parallel-run parity validation, and has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (minutes to seconds) plus ownership of batch pipeline incidents end-to-end.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI APIs secured with JWT and delivering AWS-based data processing solutions using Lambda and ECS Fargate. Has worked with Snowflake/third-party API sources and targets including DynamoDB, S3, RDS, Redshift, and Glue, and uses CloudWatch/X-Ray for monitoring and troubleshooting. Seeking ~$65/hr and is open to onsite work in Bethesda, MD.”

Senior Game Designer specializing in game economy, progression, and data-driven systems

Irvine, CA20y exp

“Game economy/progression designer with live-ops experience across MMO, CCG, and F2P strategy titles (ROSE Online, Vega Conflict/KIXEYE). Known for data-driven tuning of loot, currencies, and monetization—e.g., removing a low-performing pay gate drove ~14% DAU lift and improved revenue, and built premium-currency models using real player telemetry to support an ad-to-IAP transition.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end RAG-based AI support platform at Mechanize (FastAPI/LangChain/Pinecone/React) with rigorous evals and guardrails, driving 45% fewer support tickets and ~$280K annual savings. Also led a high-risk legacy modernization at Argo AI, incrementally extracting a monolithic Django backend using Strangler Fig + feature flags while supporting 10K+ concurrent users.”

Senior Unity Developer specializing in games, WebGL, and XR

Rogers, AR19y exp

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer with unusually broad hands-on range: built a reusable FSM and visual state editor at EA that was applied to AI, meta systems, multiplayer conversion, and console TRC flows, including first-pass Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo certification. Also spans LLM-assisted narrative systems, multiplayer networking, UWP/VR porting, and even arcade hardware/software integration down to designing and hand-building a wiring harness to hit a trade show deadline.”

“Software engineer/QA automation leader with Lowe’s experience owning automation quality strategy for a customer-facing platform supporting large contractor orders. Built TypeScript/React dashboards backed by Spring Boot microservices (MongoDB) and RabbitMQ async messaging, with strong CI/CD test automation and production monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana). Also created an internal automated test reporting dashboard that improved QA workflow through training-led adoption and iterative refinement.”

“QA automation engineer with Silicon Valley Bank experience owning end-to-end test automation for customer onboarding and payments. Built a hybrid framework (Playwright UI, REST Assured API, Python + SQL backend validation) integrated into Azure DevOps CI/CD with PR gating and nightly regressions, catching high-risk issues like silent API contract breaks and missing payment ledger entries before release.”

“Backend engineer with banking-domain experience building production microservices and Kafka-based transaction processing systems. While they have not yet shipped a full LLM agent, they bring relevant distributed-systems expertise in reliability, observability, idempotency, and event-driven workflow design, including a reported 15-20% performance improvement.”

“Built an end-to-end GenAI underwriting copilot at TD Bank for complex financial documents, combining RoBERTa-based risk classification with Azure OpenAI RAG to deliver grounded, citation-based insights. Drove a 40-50% reduction in manual underwriting review time and created reusable FastAPI ML services that cut integration effort for other teams by 30-40%.”

“Senior project/program leader with 19+ years of experience delivering enterprise B2B and SaaS implementations across highly regulated and operationally complex industries. Brings broad cross-domain expertise spanning CRM, IAM, IoT/fleet, data migration, and platform modernization, with repeated ownership of multi-project portfolios, executive governance, and go-live readiness for high-visibility enterprise releases.”
