Vetted Alerting Professionals

Poorna Pedapudi

Screened

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in distributed backend systems and cloud-native microservices

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Software engineer focused on data platforms and applied LLM systems: built an internal data quality monitoring layer to catch silent data drift and iterated post-launch after finding ~30% false-positive alerts, reducing noise via dynamic baselines and improved structured logging. Also shipped a production RAG-based internal knowledge assistant over Jira/Confluence with citations, confidence-based fallbacks, and nightly automated evals to prevent regressions.”

“Backend/AI systems engineer who has shipped production LLM agents focused on prompt engineering, code generation, and incident-response automation. Stands out for combining strong agent orchestration and reliability engineering with measurable business impact, including 60-70% cost reductions, 45% lower monthly LLM spend, and a 5x increase in developer iteration speed.”

Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems and AI-enabled platforms

Jersey City, NJ7y exp

“Backend engineer with end-to-end ownership experience in high-stakes environments spanning Citibank and industrial operations. They built an internal banking platform that automated complex entitlement workflows across thousands of business units with an 80% reduction in redundant processing, and they are now applying AI through OpenAI-powered agent workflows with RAG, vector databases, and security controls.”

“Backend/data engineer from ASML who modernized a legacy SAS-based statistical processing system into a cloud-native AWS platform (Lambda/FastAPI, Step Functions/EventBridge, Glue, S3/RDS) with strong reliability and data-quality practices. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (RDS query reduced from 90+ seconds to <5 seconds) and hands-on incident ownership for production ETL pipelines.”

“Amazon experience integrating LLM-powered chat automation into Amazon Connect contact-center workflows, taking prototypes to production with compliance-minded guardrails, schema/policy validation, and robust fallbacks. Regularly supports rollout and adoption via developer workshops, integration guides, and customer calls, with strong production triage and observability practices.”

“Data engineer/backend developer with experience owning end-to-end, high-volume data pipelines for ML/analytics using Python, Airflow, SQL, and PySpark, reporting ~30% error reduction through improved reliability and data quality checks. Has also built Django-based REST APIs with caching/pagination and strong versioning practices, and operated external data collection/web scraping pipelines with anti-bot measures, monitoring, retries, and idempotent backfills.”
