Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAJ Wallace is a search-focused software engineer with 8 years of experience designing and operating large-scale Elasticsearch/OpenSearch systems, ML deployment pipelines, and cloud-native CDC architectures. He has driven measurable product impact—raising purchase and trial conversion rates via relevance tuning and cutting indexing latency and storage dramatically—while leading cross-team migrations and establishing company-wide AWS CDK IaC standards. At Splice he built SageMaker deployment infrastructure from zero to self-service in months, architected a near-real-time Aurora→OpenSearch CDC pipeline for 5.4M+ docs, and resolved critical hybrid search outages solo. As a consultant through Gigasearch he performs audits, complex migrations, and publishes practical guidance on RAG and neural reranking, blending hands-on ops with reproducible evaluation (nDCG/pytrec_eval). Based in Missouri, he pairs a music production background with deep search and ML systems expertise, making complex systems more accessible and helping engineers ramp quickly in unfamiliar domains.
