Vetted Amazon VPC Professionals

“Founding AI engineer at an AI SaaS startup who built the full GTM knowledge and retrieval stack for non-technical teams, driving 60% less manual effort and 25% faster deployments. Also brings enterprise B2B SaaS integration experience from Wipro, including external API/documentation work for large-scale partner ecosystems.”

“Infrastructure/platform engineer with end-to-end ownership across Kubernetes and VMware/vSphere, emphasizing automation (Terraform/Ansible), phased upgrades, and reliability validation via testing/failover/monitoring. Has operated hybrid on-prem VMware to AWS environments with VPN/Direct Connect, BGP routing, and security controls, including resolving production connectivity instability and adding redundancy.”

“Infrastructure/automation engineer with experience bridging post-acquisition environments (Pandora + SiriusXM) by building an API-driven integration to provision Debian workloads on RHV while preserving iPXE-based imaging workflows. Strong in deep debugging across virtualization/network/OS layers (e.g., resolving virtio/vCPU contention causing network/NFS issues) and in extending automation tooling via custom Ansible/Python modules. Also has exposure to biomanufacturing on-prem devices (Hamiltons, shakers) alongside AWS microservices.”

“Built a production AI-native internal onboarding feature that reduced manual product setup effort by combining barcode API data, product photos, structured LLM outputs, and a polished real-time camera UI. Demonstrates hands-on experience across the full stack of LLM systems: prompt/schema design, multimodal inputs, backend orchestration with SQS and vector retrieval, and production reliability through evals, telemetry, and drift monitoring.”

Mid-level DevOps/SRE Engineer specializing in cloud CI/CD, IaC, and Kubernetes

Nashville, TN5y exp

“Infrastructure engineer with deep production IBM Power/AIX experience (AIX 7.2/7.3, HMC, dual VIOS, PowerHA) supporting ~25–30 LPARs and handling live DLPAR tuning, HA failovers, and Power7→Power9 migrations. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps CI/CD deploying Dockerized microservices to Kubernetes with Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, strong controls around secrets, drift, and safe rollouts.”

“Built and owned an enterprise AI document-processing deployment at an automotive tech startup, taking it from discovery to stabilization. Strong in production LLM/RAG systems and backend reliability, with measurable impact including 8,000+ documents processed monthly and turnaround time reduced from nearly 24 hours to about 3 hours.”

“GCP-focused database/infrastructure engineer with hands-on production support for Cloud SQL and Firestore, spanning provisioning, IAM, scaling, backups, and performance tuning. They also described supporting a hybrid GCP architecture for a monolithic on-prem PostgreSQL workload and resolving a major latency incident by tracing cascading failures and fixing indexing issues.”

Principal Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI, DevOps, and cloud platforms

Romania, Romania16y exp

“Built a production end-to-end AI video-to-reels clip extraction system using a multi-agent architecture with transcription, captioning, effects generation, and centralized orchestration. Demonstrates unusually strong systems thinking around reliability, observability, evaluation, and production tradeoffs for LLM-powered workflows, including Kubernetes/Kafka-based deployment and regression-driven prompt governance.”

“Backend engineer working on Plumas Bank’s digital modernization, building a FastAPI-based loan origination/processing system with OAuth2/JWT security, AWS Lambda-driven PDF document generation to S3, and MongoDB integration. Has led a legacy workflow migration to a new microservice using dual-write/dual-read and monitoring, and emphasizes multi-tenant isolation via layered API controls plus row-level security.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer (Geico) focused on AWS and Kubernetes at production scale. Has hands-on experience building secure GitHub Actions CI/CD for EKS, provisioning core AWS infrastructure with Terraform/CDK, and leading end-to-end incident response with post-incident automation to prevent recurrence; no direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”
