Mid-level DevOps/SRE Engineer specializing in cloud CI/CD, IaC, and Kubernetes

Nashville, TN5y exp

“Infrastructure engineer with deep production IBM Power/AIX experience (AIX 7.2/7.3, HMC, dual VIOS, PowerHA) supporting ~25–30 LPARs and handling live DLPAR tuning, HA failovers, and Power7→Power9 migrations. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps CI/CD deploying Dockerized microservices to Kubernetes with Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, strong controls around secrets, drift, and safe rollouts.”

“Infrastructure security/DevSecOps engineer who led security and automation patterns during a large Azure migration (30+ legacy apps, wave-based execution), enforcing zero-trust controls by baking CrowdStrike/Illumio into golden images and adding CI/CD security gates. Experienced integrating GitLab runners and Terraform agents as containerized services with strong secrets management (Azure Key Vault) and disciplined image/versioning practices, and has hands-on troubleshooting of ACI runtime constraints under load.”

“Backend Python engineer who built core services for a telecom automation engine monitoring thousands of routers in real time and auto-generating support tickets. As the sole Intelygenz engineer on the project, they diagnosed a costly Terraform/GitLab CI/CD resource-leak issue in AWS and implemented a cleanup redesign that eliminated orphaned resources and reduced client cloud spend. Also shipped applied-AI ticket triage suggestions via API integration and built an end-to-end Gmail-to-ticket ingestion workflow.”

“DevOps/GCP-focused engineer with experience helping move complex/LLM-style prototypes toward production by clarifying requirements, hardening architecture, and driving OS-level test remediation to full pass rates. Debugs LLM/agentic workflow issues like distributed systems using GCP observability (Cloud Logging/Monitoring, GKE metrics) and implements alerting policies for proactive communication. Has delivered internal DevOps training from basics through end-to-end GCP infrastructure and deployment, improving engagement with real-world examples and analogies.”

“GCP-focused database/infrastructure engineer with hands-on production support for Cloud SQL and Firestore, spanning provisioning, IAM, scaling, backups, and performance tuning. They also described supporting a hybrid GCP architecture for a monolithic on-prem PostgreSQL workload and resolving a major latency incident by tracing cascading failures and fixing indexing issues.”

“Cloud/hybrid infrastructure engineer with McKesson experience migrating tightly coupled healthcare applications to microservices on AWS EKS. Strong in IaC-driven standardization, CI/CD automation, and production observability (CloudWatch/Splunk/Prometheus/tracing), with demonstrated ability to debug complex incidents spanning Kubernetes and cloud networking.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer (Geico) focused on AWS and Kubernetes at production scale. Has hands-on experience building secure GitHub Actions CI/CD for EKS, provisioning core AWS infrastructure with Terraform/CDK, and leading end-to-end incident response with post-incident automation to prevent recurrence; no direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

Senior Unity Engineer specializing in XR and real-time 3D applications

5y exp

“Unity lead developer/project manager who builds VR storytelling and training simulator experiences, including hand-tracking-driven interactions and custom rendering (Shader Graph, forward rendering, occlusion culling). Created an educational Unity game (Bed Time Hunter) spanning gameplay, VFX/shaders, terrain/lighting, and Photon multiplayer, and built a VR office simulator that targets both Quest standalone and SteamVR while streaming cloud IoT sensor data.”

Intern Data Engineer specializing in Snowflake pipelines and AI/ML analytics

Houston, TX3y exp

“Built and operated an end-to-end TypeScript/Node AI agent platform for high-volume financial data that generates explainable investment signals and automates execution via resilient Playwright browser automation. Uses Postgres + pgvector/Prisma for RAG retrieval, Redis for async orchestration, Zod-based boundary validation as a circuit breaker, and OpenTelemetry for tracing/latency monitoring; also designed a TypeScript SDK with semver, scoped bearer-token auth, CLI key rotation, and interactive Swagger docs.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, cloud, and AI pipelines

Remote, USA3y exp

“Built and owned an end-to-end AI-driven content enrichment pipeline for a news workflow, using n8n, LLM agents, and external APIs to automate ingestion, deduplication, categorization, and approval routing. Stands out for production-minded AI systems work: they improved reliability with schema validation, retries, idempotency, and monitoring, while automating 90% of processing and cutting duplication errors by 95%+.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in distributed cloud systems

Santa Clara, CA3y exp

“Engineer with a thoughtful, production-oriented approach to AI-assisted development, including multi-agent workflows for planning, coding, review, testing, and debugging. Stands out for treating AI systems like distributed pipelines with explicit interfaces, validation layers, and guardrails to improve reliability and reduce hallucinations.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer with hands-on production experience across Power8/Power9 frames, VIOS and HMC, including resolving a production LPAR outage caused by vFC mapping issues. Has operated PowerHA clusters for critical finance workloads, running quarterly failover tests and handling an unplanned failover triggered by a network adapter failure, then improving resilience with redundancy and monitoring automation.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a sizable production estate (50 Power servers / ~200 LPARs) spanning VIOS/HMC, SAN/NFS, and PowerHA clusters. Demonstrates strong incident leadership (LPAR outage + split-brain recovery) and a process-improvement mindset with measurable reductions in recurrence/MTTR, while also bringing modern DevOps/IaC experience (Jenkins, ArgoCD, Terraform, security scanning, canary/blue-green).”
