Vetted AJAX Professionals

“Engineering leader who managed a 20-person cross-functional team building customer-driven software solutions, delivering a 50% reduction in simulation/test lifecycle and securing a long-term strategic SLA. Strong in scalable data ingestion architectures (FastAPI + Kafka + multiprocess workers), operational diagnostics (correlation IDs/centralized logging), and microservice decoupling for analytics/visualization. Active open-source contributor who shipped a NATS bug fix and improved SDK onboarding with automation that cut ramp time by 30%.”

“Engineering leader who drove TiVo IPTV’s client-facing API modernization from a monolith to AWS-based microservices (API Gateway, Lambda, EKS, Kafka, DynamoDB/RDS), including phased/blue-green production routing of millions of calls. Emphasizes org scaling through skill-based hiring, mentorship, and a you-build-you-run ownership culture, while balancing technical leadership with executive stakeholder communication and budgeting.”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience at AWS building a global alarm processing platform (Python, Lambda/SQS/DynamoDB) handling traffic spikes and reliability issues; resolved duplicate alerts and latency under load by fixing hot partitions and enforcing idempotency. Previously at Cognizant, built Java/PostgreSQL backend workflows for healthcare dashboards using pre-aggregated summary tables, strong SQL optimization, and state-driven job orchestration with ELK-based observability and production guardrails.”

“Brazil-based startup CTO who raised $3M and spent 5 years building an agri-fintech credit origination tool for farmers, including going through Y Combinator and fundraising via Demo Day and Brazilian VCs. Ultimately shut the company down due to market shifts (rising interest rates and farmer delinquency), demonstrating pragmatic judgment and deep exposure to credit-market dynamics.”

“LLM/agent engineer who has shipped multiple autonomous, multi-step agents to production (document-to-SOP conversion, test generation, code generation) using a custom Python DAG orchestrator with persistent state, tool-calling permissions, and structured outputs (Pydantic/JSON Schema). Demonstrates strong production hardening practices—semantic contracts, golden-dataset prompt regression tests, circuit breakers, and multi-level monitoring—and delivered large productivity wins (34 hours of manual writing reduced to ~20 minutes review; ~15–20 engineering hours/week saved).”

“QA/validation-focused engineer with experience at Meta testing an ML+LLM content classification/summarization system, including production-vs-test behavior gaps. Built automated E2E validation and drift monitoring (PSI, KL divergence, embedding cosine similarity) run daily/multiple times per day and gated via CI. Also implemented Jenkins-orchestrated Selenium/API test suites in Docker at Capgemini and partnered with a business analyst to convert business rules into automated AI-driven validation checks.”

USA4y exp

“Software engineer (4+ years) with hands-on production GenAI experience: built an AI incident triage assistant that summarizes production logs for on-call engineers and iterated it using real incident metrics (time-to-signal, triage duration). Also shipped a RAG-based customer support knowledge assistant using embeddings + vector retrieval with strong guardrails (relevance thresholds/abstain, sanitization, auditing) and a formal eval loop (500-query gold set) that drove measurable retrieval improvements.”

Tampa, FL5y exp

“Backend engineer with experience building microservice-based systems that integrate LLM workflows (code review suggestions, documentation generation, test scaffolding) using REST APIs, Celery/Redis, and OpenTelemetry for observability. Demonstrates hands-on database and performance optimization in PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy (bulk inserts, lock mitigation, cursor-based pagination) plus multi-tenant data isolation via tenant-aware models, middleware scoping, and schema/row-level strategies.”
