Search engineer | RAG | Vector search | Observability | Elasticsearch

If your looking for the best, hiring a top 1% consultant = saved time and money. I'm your guy I help companies with valuable datasets organize and simplify their data to bring value without the stress of managing the implementation. 10 years of experience to handle the entire process with minimal hand holding to bring you maximal value in a shortest time. Observability and data analysis Cluster architecture, mappings, data strategies, ingest pipelines. I work to optimize all of these so that the data can start providing value ASAP. Search RAG, semantic search, lexical search, hybrid, ANN, KNN, chatbot, vector search, recommendation engines, analyzers, suggestions and search as you type are all important to curating a product your customers can't resist using. Offload the mental stress of sorting out the nitty gritty details of implementation and let me help create your data system for you. Clients often refer to me as their “cheat code” because a brief call with me can replace hours of frustrating trial & error and research. I have a simple goal: 1) To fully understand your needs, 2) Eliminate any stress or confusion, and 3) Deliver precisely what you’re looking for—taking care of all the details for you. I know how frustrating it can be to hire freelancers who complicate things further, communicate poorly, surprise you with unexpected costs, and require so much oversight that it feels easier to handle the work yourself. Types of work I’ve done: Search Engine Development: Built and optimized high-performance search engines with a focus on user experience, achieving sub-500ms response times. A good search engine prioritizes user experience above all. The user needs to 1) get what they want (relevance), and 2) as fast as you can give it to them <500ms (latency), it's that simple. Full ELK Stack Implementations: Designed and deployed ELK stacks for diverse industries, including healthcare and renewable energy, handling everything from parsing error logs to integrating with third-party tools like Jira and Twitter. Custom Dashboard Creation: Developed visually appealing and functional dashboards for data visualization, enhancing team productivity and decision-making. Automation and Optimization: Automated cluster installations and optimized Logstash/filebeat/ingest pipelines configurations for efficient data processing and error handling. I will explain things in layman's terms and not fill an explanation of how something works with technical jargon. I will be clear with my expectations and happy to explain how things work so you can do it yourself. Let's work on your project together so that you can get what you want out of your data. Additional Competencies: API integration with ELK: Facebook, Google Analytics, Twitter, etc... Automation of ELK: Bash and Ansible External Database Syncing with ELK: SQL, MongoDB Misc: Readonly Rest, Own_home, Searchguard, Graphite, alerting, siem, watcher, docker, AWS, OpenSearch Filebeat, metricbeat, packetbeat, Vega, RAG, LLM, AI augmented search, index templates,
