Amazon background; integrated 22 AWS services and completed AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification within a month.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a large enterprise footprint (40 Power8/9 frames, 400+ AIX LPARs) with deep hands-on VIOS/HMC, NIM, performance tuning, and PowerHA recovery. Demonstrated high-impact incident response (avoided DB reboot saving ~4 hours; restored clustered services in <20 minutes) plus strong RCA and preventative remediation. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience building GitHub Actions pipelines and Terraform-managed AWS EKS/VPC/RDS/S3 environments.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production AWS experience spanning serverless APIs (Chalice/Lambda/API Gateway/Cognito) and data pipelines (Glue PySpark + Step Functions). Has modernized a legacy SAS reporting system into AWS microservices and implemented schema-drift detection and incident prevention for ETL workflows, plus measurable SQL tuning wins (30 min to <10 min runtime).”

“ML/LLM engineer at Adobe who deployed a transformer-based personalization and campaign-targeting recommender system end-to-end, including PySpark/Airflow pipelines processing 12M+ events/day and containerized inference on AWS SageMaker (Docker/Kubernetes). Also has hands-on LLM workflow experience (RAG, semantic search, prompt optimization, hallucination mitigation) with a metrics-driven approach to reliability, drift monitoring, and reproducible retraining via MLflow.”

“AWS engineer who productionized an internal ML-driven data pipeline from a notebook prototype into a scalable, observable Python service (schema validation, deduplication, idempotency, safe retries, versioned transforms, CloudWatch alarms), reducing manual effort and improving data accuracy/trust. Experienced diagnosing workflow issues in real time (e.g., upstream schema changes) and partnering with account managers/support to unblock adoption of seller-facing Marketplace features by demonstrating reliability with concrete metrics.”

“Backend engineer with healthcare platform experience at Thirty Madison, combining Django for secure, data-heavy core services with FastAPI async microservices for real-time patient monitoring. Led Kubernetes migration with Istio service mesh, autoscaling (HPA), and stateful storage patterns, and implemented GitOps CI/CD using ArgoCD. Also built real-time Kafka streaming pipelines with reliability patterns like idempotent producers and offset management.”

“Backend/data engineer with Optum healthcare claims domain experience building high-reliability Python microservices (FastAPI/Kafka/Postgres) and AWS data platforms (EKS, Glue, Redshift). Demonstrated strong production ownership: fixed duplicate Kafka processing via transactional outbox/idempotency, scaled to millions of daily events, and delivered major SQL performance gains (40+ min to <5 min, ~60% CPU reduction). Seeking remote-only work; targets $130k base.”

“Backend/data engineer with experience building Kafka-driven real-time pipelines that support ML code deployment and downstream integrations. Currently migrating high-throughput mainframe (COBOL/assembly) processing to Java, using Spark/Databricks to preserve performance and employing rigorous A/B testing across dev/pre-prod/prod with years of historical data.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Walmart and HealthSnap building Python services and data pipelines on AWS (EKS, Lambda, Glue, Airflow).
