Vetted Agile Professionals

“Backend engineer on Morgan Stanley’s trade risk and compliance platform, building Java/Spring Boot microservices that validate equity and fixed-income trades at multi-million-events/day scale. Shipped an LLM-assisted trade exception analysis feature using RAG over internal policy documents and trade history, with production-grade guardrails (confidence thresholds, audit logs, human-in-the-loop) and measurable performance wins (~30–35% faster reporting) through PostgreSQL tuning and Redis caching.”

“Backend engineer with recent Barclays experience building a Python asyncio + Kafka risk reporting service for trading desks, including a major refactor from blocking batch processing to event-driven incremental pipelines to restore intraday/EOD performance. Also shipped an applied AI feature using OpenAI fine-tuning to classify risk-breach severity and generate trader/risk-manager summaries with robust retry/fallback handling, plus demonstrated strong database/query optimization (triggers, materialized views, partial indexes) in a risk-limits/breaches domain.”

“QA automation engineer who built and maintained a Selenium WebDriver + Java hybrid framework (data/keyword-driven) using POM, TestNG, and Maven, and integrated it into CI with PR gating and nightly regression. Strong focus on stabilizing flaky tests (wait strategies, locator robustness, test data control) and caught a critical UI/backend mismatch that could have caused duplicate money transfers before release.”

“AI/ML engineer at Cigna Healthcare building a production, HIPAA-compliant LLM-powered clinical insights platform that summarizes unstructured medical notes using a fine-tuned transformer + RAG on AWS. Demonstrates strong end-to-end MLOps and cloud optimization (distillation, Spot/Lambda/Auto Scaling) with quantified outcomes (~28% accuracy lift, ~40% less manual review, ~25% lower ops cost) and strong clinician-facing explainability via SHAP and dashboards.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with production experience in both healthcare (claims enrichment/interoperability at Abacus) and finance (Goldman Sachs pricing/risk APIs + React dashboards). Built an event-driven AI grading platform using Postgres Debezium CDC + Kafka + FastAPI on AWS that cut manual grading ~70% and served 1000+ students, with strong emphasis on reliability, testing, and performance tuning.”

“Founder of an LLC operating as a consulting firm providing fractional CTO services to startups, giving them parallel exposure to multiple early-stage companies. Has direct experience with MVP development, building org structures from scratch, and supporting early fundraising, and is exploring a pivot from consulting into a scalable product business while staying engaged with the VC/accelerator ecosystem.”

“Azure cloud platform engineer with strong enterprise Linux operations background who designs multi-region HA/DR on Azure (and AWS) using Azure Site Recovery, Traffic Manager, AKS autoscaling, and geo-replicated Azure SQL. Built secure Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for .NET/Python microservices to AKS/VMs and provisions full environments via Terraform modules with remote state, drift checks, and staged rollouts; has not directly owned IBM Power/AIX at scale.”

“Cofounded a travel app and built a production place recommendation + review system end-to-end using Next.js App Router and TypeScript, including Postgres-backed APIs and post-launch monitoring. Uses structured logging with Sentry and Vercel Analytics to diagnose issues and validate performance improvements, and has some exposure to Temporal-based workflow orchestration with retries/idempotency.”

“Software engineer at Fidelity who led a digital-first transformation of life insurance/annuity sales by building a self-service customer flow (questionnaires, auto-contract generation, eSign) and abstracting complex internal eSign APIs adopted across 8+ teams. Also builds modern real-time web apps (Next.js/React/TypeScript, Supabase/Postgres, WebSockets) and operates services with CI/CD, performance testing, and observability (Jenkins, Datadog, Splunk, Grafana) on AWS EKS.”

“QA automation engineer who owned and transformed a JavaScript/WebdriverIO UI automation suite into a reliable CI release gate by refactoring to POM, adding API validations, cross-browser coverage, and aggressively reducing flakiness. Demonstrated strong security mindset by uncovering a critical RBAC gap where restricted users could trigger billing actions via direct API calls, and helped reshape product requirements early through detailed acceptance-criteria questions (e.g., CSV upload partial failures).”

“Software engineer with payments-domain experience (Visa) building real-time transaction monitoring and analytics systems. Strong end-to-end ownership across Spring Boot/Kafka microservices, PostgreSQL modeling, and AWS/Kubernetes operations, plus React+TypeScript dashboards—focused on low-latency processing, secure APIs, and zero-downtime production releases.”

“Software engineer with experience across TCS, Rakuten, and USC who has owned production integrations and data pipelines end-to-end. Notably improved a trading platform payment flow by replacing fragile polling with a webhook-driven status system with robust fallbacks, and has shipped LLM-assisted design-to-webpage automation plus evaluation-driven prompt iteration (NYT Connections).”

“Game developer/team lead on the FPS zombie project "Dreadful" who wore many hats (project management, systems/level/UI design, AI assist, QA) and iterated heavily via playtests and heatmap data. Built and tuned UE5 Blueprint-based crowd-control/gravity abilities with cooldowns and actor filtering, and made scope-smart feature swaps by reusing existing systems to hit deadlines.”

“Data engineer with hands-on experience migrating a legacy/mainframe-fed loader onto GCP, orchestrating daily SFTP-to-GCS ingestion, Spark/Scala transformations, and loading into Cassandra/Solr/OpenSearch with API- and BigQuery-based validation. Also built a Java Spring Boot service that extracts from Hive and produces Excel outputs, emphasizing testing, logging/alerts, and CI setup.”

“Engineer with production experience in both high-throughput banking risk systems and LLM agent platforms. Built a real-time transaction risk scoring middleware at JPMorgan Chase (1M+ requests/day) emphasizing HA, observability, and audit/PII compliance, and also architected multi-step LLM agents with strict schema-based tool calling, evaluation loops, and safety guardrails for messy enterprise data.”

“Cloud/platform engineer with hands-on ownership of AWS EKS Kubernetes platforms built and upgraded via Terraform, including AWS networking/security, EBS/EFS/S3 storage integration, and reliability validation through CloudWatch plus Prometheus/Grafana. Also has on-prem VMware/vSphere administration experience and day-to-day hybrid on-prem-to-AWS operations (VPN/Direct Connect), with examples of resolving pod instability from an application memory leak and fixing a production connectivity drop via routing/firewall troubleshooting.”
