Vetted Vertex AI Professionals

“AI/ML engineer who has deployed production LLM/transformer-based systems for merchant intelligence and fraud/support optimization, delivering +27% merchant engagement and +18% payment success. Deep experience in privacy-preserving, PCI DSS-compliant data/ML pipelines (Airflow, AWS Glue, Spark, Delta Lake) and scalable microservices on Kubernetes, plus proven cross-functional delivery in healthcare claims analytics at UnitedHealth Group (12% HEDIS claim reduction).”

“CTO-level technology leader with experience building end-to-end tech strategy and roadmaps, modernizing legacy environments in healthcare (GenesisCare), and scaling engineering into large global teams (Amadeus). Built a DevOps organization at Syniverse for the Visibility Suite, implementing Kubernetes/Terraform/Chef automation that drove ~75% faster deployments, and is known for staying hands-on (including data center work) while leading strategically.”

“Platform/infra engineer with strong ownership of Kubernetes on VMware and day-to-day hybrid on-prem-to-AWS operations. Has hands-on experience automating infrastructure delivery with Terraform/Ansible/CI-CD, and has resolved real production issues spanning CSI storage reattachment during upgrades, vSphere storage-latency performance degradation, and hybrid connectivity/routing failures with improved validation, monitoring, and failover.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production document intelligence and GenAI systems, spanning model experimentation, AWS deployment, monitoring, and iterative optimization. Stands out for turning document-heavy workflows into reliable, near real-time products with measurable gains in accuracy, latency, and manual-effort reduction, while also shipping citation-grounded RAG features that drove user trust and adoption.”

“Backend engineer who built a real-time pipeline for recording, transcribing, and analyzing audio from 400+ news radio stations, scaling Whisper on an HPC cluster with 7 H100 GPUs. Has strong performance optimization experience (30% latency reduction via SQL/query design; 50% DB call reduction via Redis caching) and has implemented region-based data isolation and PII protections in a regulated environment (JP Morgan Chase).”

“Built and shipped a production multi-agent, voice-based conversational assistant for older adults’ daily health management using Vertex AI, FastAPI, Firebase/Firestore, and Cloud Run, with a custom cross-session memory design to keep responses context-aware at low latency. Also partnered with caregivers/elderly users and health officials, translating needs into workflows and explaining HIV risk predictions with SHAP and dashboards.”
