Vetted Engineering Professionals in California

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned an enterprise Django REST + PostgreSQL reporting backend and built Python ETL pipelines to normalize 3M+ legacy customer records, improving data reliability by 85%. Strong Kubernetes/GitOps practitioner (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with real-world production debugging experience, plus Kafka streaming at 5M events/day and a zero-downtime monolith-to-event-driven microservices migration on AWS that cut infra costs by 42%.”

“Backend engineer who owned and shipped a campaign analytics API (FastAPI/Postgres/Redis/Celery) with ingestion from Instagram/YouTube, JWT auth, tests, and Docker deployment; improved performance from >1s to <150ms using precomputed aggregates and composite indexes. Experienced with Kubernetes GitOps using GitHub Actions + ArgoCD (zero-downtime rollouts, one-click rollbacks), Prometheus/Grafana observability, hybrid cloud-to-on-prem migrations, and real-time notification streaming via Redis Pub/Sub + WebSockets.”

Senior Engineering Manager specializing in AI platforms and cloud-native backend systems

Sunnyvale, CA11y exp

“Player-coach engineering leader who stayed hands-on (coding/reviews) while leading delivery, including designing an event-driven AI workflow engine with explicit state modeling and robust retries. Built near real-time enterprise analytics for campaign measurement and drove reliability/process improvements (observability, incident runbooks, release management). Introduced lightweight CI/CD and automated testing to cut release time by ~40% while maintaining quality.”

“Infrastructure/platform engineer with hands-on experience building and operating AWS Kubernetes environments with Terraform, including blue/green upgrade strategies and observability (Grafana/Prometheus). Modernized a mission-critical PostgreSQL system from legacy Sun SPARC hardware to x86/KVM with SAN and then redesigned it for load-balanced HA failover, and has operated hybrid on-prem (vSphere) to AWS connectivity using BGP/VPN and later Direct Connect, including post-incident improvements to centralized network config management.”
