@clairepukas

Data Engineer building agentic applications with Claude Code, including an interactive résumé chatbot with hallucination checks.

United States
Message

I designed and deployed an interactive résumé chatbot using Claude Sonnet 5.5 and a Cloudflare Worker. I wrote its knowledge base, guardrail rules, and test plan, and established validation scripts to check generated documents for hallucinations.

At Delta Air Lines, I owned the reliability of a Python application for validating revenue analysts’ fares and preparing ATPCO submissions. I reengineered validation, monitoring, and error handling, delivering zero data errors on every production run for two years; earlier, I optimized enterprise ETL at Georgia System Operations Corporation, improving processing efficiency by 40%.
