Vetted Engineering Professionals in the Bay Area

“AWS Software Development Manager leading globally deployed, production-critical DDoS protection (L3/L4) across AWS. Known for scaling teams and driving cross-org tiger-team initiatives from concept through worldwide rollout, including performance-focused Python architecture changes and a major JDK 8→21 migration while maintaining strict backward compatibility. Also led an internal SDK-like integration framework improving APIs, documentation, and onboarding for major AWS service teams.”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on scalable data security scanning and risk detection in hybrid cloud, owning architecture and core implementation of an incremental/parallel DSPM scanning engine. Shipped production improvements including 60% lower scan latency and 30% fewer false positives, with strong emphasis on correctness under concurrency, multi-tenant observability (SLOs/burn-rate alerts), and disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, shadow scans, canaries).”

“Backend/data engineering player-coach on a UEBA cloud security analytics platform who standardized MLOps and detection development for 180+ detections, cutting ship time from 6–7 weeks to ~3 weeks while reducing false positives. Proven at operating large-scale streaming + Spark systems (200K+ events/sec, 100+ TB/day), driving major reliability/cost improvements, and leading incident response and team execution through GA.”

“Amazon engineer/leader who drove a major modernization of the AWS Database Migration Service Console, migrating a monolithic UI to a micro-frontend architecture while improving performance, reliability, and engineering standards. Operates as a player-coach (80/20 hands-on/management), with demonstrated incident ownership and process improvements across Amazon and Walmart Labs.”

“Backend engineer with DoorDash experience building production-critical systems spanning LLM-based real-time safety moderation (SendBird callbacks + ChatGPT risk scoring with automated actions) and large-scale payments data pipelines (Kafka to CockroachDB with aggregation APIs). Also led cross-team reliability work to standardize SLOs and drove an incident redesign from batch pull to real-time push callbacks to eliminate critical-event latency.”
