@maheshjakka
Senior data engineer focused on production GenAI on Snowflake Cortex, delivering governed enterprise data platforms and agents.
What I'm looking for
I’m a data engineer with 10 years building enterprise data platforms, now focused on shipping production GenAI and agentic solutions on Snowflake Cortex AI. I’ve designed and deployed production Cortex Agents, Cortex Search, and Cortex Analyst document-intelligence platforms for state government clients.
In my current role at ARCHETYPE CONSULTING INC, I serve as a hands-on technical lead across client engagements. I embed directly with stakeholders to translate regulatory and business requirements into working software through iterative working sessions spanning architecture, governance, and delivery.
I architected and shipped production GenAI document-intelligence platforms using Snowflake Cortex AI and Cortex LLM Functions (AI_PARSE_DOCUMENT, AI_COMPLETE), including taking a Legal Decision Search system from prototype to production quickly. I also implemented Cortex Agents with mandatory source citation and a human-in-the-loop citation-evaluation framework, plus a Streamlit-in-Snowflake evidence workflow with page-level, quote-grounded citations.
I take governance as a delivery requirement, building FERPA-compliant Snowflake architectures with RBAC governance, row/column-level masking, and object tagging to protect student and educator PII. I define CI/CD and deploy governance patterns for notebook-driven Snowflake changes, and I mentor newer engineers on Snowflake and GenAI delivery patterns.
