Vetted Python Developers

“Backend-focused Python engineer who has owned production FastAPI services deployed on Kubernetes, including CI/CD (GitLab CI to ECR) and GitOps delivery via ArgoCD/Helm. Has hands-on experience with complex reliability and infrastructure work—solving data inconsistency with validation/partial-data paths, fixing K8s liveness issues via lazy loading, and supporting a phased cloud-to-on-prem migration with dual-writes and monitoring. Also built Kafka-based real-time ingestion consumers handling bursty, high-throughput traffic with async processing and topic/retention tuning.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of fraud detection and investigator-assist systems, combining anomaly detection with RAG-based LLM summarization in production. Stands out for translating research ideas into reliable cloud-deployed workflows that improved precision to 92%, cut review time by 25-30%, and increased investigator throughput by roughly 30% while also building reusable Python infrastructure for team-wide velocity.”

“Backend engineer working on Plumas Bank’s digital modernization, building a FastAPI-based loan origination/processing system with OAuth2/JWT security, AWS Lambda-driven PDF document generation to S3, and MongoDB integration. Has led a legacy workflow migration to a new microservice using dual-write/dual-read and monitoring, and emphasizes multi-tenant isolation via layered API controls plus row-level security.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML backend systems

Chicago, IL4y exp

“AI/data engineer at ZS Associates focused on production-grade agentic systems, FastAPI microservices, and cloud-native ETL/RAG pipelines at significant scale. They’ve built multi-agent validation and diagnostic workflows inspired by their Copilot/KUBEPILOT AI work, supporting 500K+ records per day while improving ML inference performance by ~30% and cutting manual troubleshooting by 60%.”

“Lead full-stack engineer with strong Python backend depth and hands-on React/TypeScript experience, working in startup-like B2B SaaS environments serving enterprise software customers such as CrowdStrike, HashiCorp, and VMware. Stands out for redesigning tightly coupled systems into modular AWS-based microservices and building configurable integration platforms that improved enterprise customer onboarding and marketplace workflow scalability.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building Python FastAPI services and AWS-native data pipelines. Has delivered containerized and serverless workloads (ECS/EKS/Lambda) with Terraform-based IaC, strong reliability patterns (JWT/RBAC, retries/circuit breakers, observability), and AWS Glue ETL into S3/Redshift. Demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (40–50s to <4s) and owned real pipeline incidents through detection, mitigation, and prevention.”

“ML/AI engineer who built and productionized an NLP system at PurevisitX, orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Airflow (S3 ingestion through auto-retraining) and optimizing for drift and low-latency inference. Also partnered with Citibank risk teams on a fraud detection model, translating results via dashboards and iterating thresholds based on stakeholder feedback.”

Senior AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI and ML platforms

USA7y exp

“Built and owned a production RAG-based conversational AI system at Entera for real estate analysis, taking it from experimentation through AWS deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Demonstrates strong practical judgment in retrieval design, LLM safety, and scalable Python service architecture, with measurable impact including 30-40% reduction in manual analysis time and roughly 30% better response accuracy.”

“Backend/infrastructure-focused engineer building AI-agent products for small businesses, including a customer-service agent platform with intent routing, RAG over Pinecone, and external booking API integration. Has shipped Python/FastAPI services with JWT auth, versioned APIs, Docker deployments to AWS EC2 via GitHub Actions, and production monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana.”
