Staff AI Engineer specializing in LLM systems, retrieval, and ML infrastructure

Remote10y exp

“ML/LLM engineer from Cohere who has owned retrieval, reranking, agentic workflows, and internal evaluation infrastructure end-to-end in production. Particularly strong in turning brittle RAG and research-heavy ideas into scalable enterprise systems with grounded outputs, lower customer escalations, and adoption by major clients like Notion and Fujitsu.”

“Engineering/product leader with repeated experience defining roadmaps and delivering platform migrations across SaaS and enterprise contexts. Scaled an education system from two districts to 2M+ students statewide, and led an Elasticsearch-based architecture for an internal Disney product serving ~100K employees. Known for rigorous execution (RAID/OKRs/sprints), strong stakeholder communication (weekly AI summaries), and empowering teams via end-to-end ownership and customer-connected development.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in Python, data pipelines, and FinTech systems

Remote3y exp

“Software/data engineer with experience at Google and on Bloomberg-related financial data modernization, building Python pipelines that convert legacy financial datasets into modern structures and iterating based on client feedback (e.g., adding historical change tracking for private placement data). Also built an internal Google usage-metrics dashboard pipeline using Protocol Buffers and scaled execution via sharded parallel cron jobs while scheduling off-hours to avoid impacting a testing tool.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building FastAPI services with strong reliability patterns (circuit breaker, rate limiting, caching, graceful degradation) and JWT/OAuth2 auth. Has delivered AWS EKS deployments via Terraform with Secrets Manager/IRSA and HPA autoscaling, and built Glue/Spark ETL pipelines on S3 Parquet with schema-evolution and idempotent reruns; also demonstrated measurable SQL tuning impact (20–30s to <10s).”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production AWS experience spanning serverless APIs (Chalice/Lambda/API Gateway/Cognito) and data pipelines (Glue PySpark + Step Functions). Has modernized a legacy SAS reporting system into AWS microservices and implemented schema-drift detection and incident prevention for ETL workflows, plus measurable SQL tuning wins (30 min to <10 min runtime).”

“Built a production RAG-based natural-language-to-SQL system at Global Atlantic to replace slow, expensive manual analytics ticket workflows, focusing heavily on retrieval quality and measurable evaluation (200-question ground-truth set; recall@5 improved 0.65→0.78 via semantic chunking). Also built a custom MCP-style agent orchestrator for a personal project (arxiv-ai) to improve flexibility and Langfuse-aligned observability, and has hands-on experience with LangGraph, CrewAI, and n8n.”
