Vetted Amazon Kinesis Professionals

“AI/ML engineer who has deployed production LLM/transformer-based systems for merchant intelligence and fraud/support optimization, delivering +27% merchant engagement and +18% payment success. Deep experience in privacy-preserving, PCI DSS-compliant data/ML pipelines (Airflow, AWS Glue, Spark, Delta Lake) and scalable microservices on Kubernetes, plus proven cross-functional delivery in healthcare claims analytics at UnitedHealth Group (12% HEDIS claim reduction).”

“Platform/infra engineer with strong ownership of Kubernetes on VMware and day-to-day hybrid on-prem-to-AWS operations. Has hands-on experience automating infrastructure delivery with Terraform/Ansible/CI-CD, and has resolved real production issues spanning CSI storage reattachment during upgrades, vSphere storage-latency performance degradation, and hybrid connectivity/routing failures with improved validation, monitoring, and failover.”

“Ticketmaster data engineer who built CDC-driven Kafka pipelines feeding Snowflake for analytics and data science teams. Hands-on in production operations—scaled Kafka during sudden playoff-driven transaction spikes and improved monitoring for preemptive scaling. Known for using small-batch experiments and quantitative metrics to align stakeholders and drive cost-saving architecture changes (e.g., buffering to reduce AWS Lambda invocation frequency).”

“Data engineer at Plaid who built greenfield, end-to-end real-time transaction pipelines and FastAPI data services for fraud detection and analytics, handling millions of events per day. Strong focus on reliability and data integrity via Great Expectations validation, Airflow-based monitoring/SLAs, quarantine/staging patterns, and robust external data ingestion with schema versioning and backfills (reported 50% fewer anomalies and ~40% fewer failures).”

“Capital One engineer leading the architecture and delivery of a large-scale AWS Glue/Spark/Delta Lake batch messaging pipeline that decoupled batch from real-time flows, added multi-region failover and automated retries, and delivered ~40% AWS cost savings with ~3x performance gains. Currently building an LLM-powered Slack bot using RAG to automate message investigations by querying CloudWatch, Snowflake, and internal documentation with privacy-aware masking of NPI/PII.”

“Backend-focused engineer who uses AI pragmatically as a force multiplier rather than a substitute for engineering judgment. They stand out for applying structured, agent-style workflows to code generation, debugging, and production log analysis while maintaining strong emphasis on correctness, performance, and reliability in backend and microservices environments.”
