Vetted Argo CD Professionals

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned a real-time data ingestion/processing/reporting API built with FastAPI, Redis, and Celery, including performance tuning via query/index optimization, caching, and async workers. Strong Kubernetes + CI/CD + GitOps (ArgoCD) experience, plus hands-on monitoring/logging (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK) and a Kafka/Spark real-time streaming project from their master’s program.”

“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.”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned an end-to-end financial data ingestion and validation system (Python/Django/FastAPI, Postgres, AWS), including large-file performance tuning, auditability, and CI/CD. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + ArgoCD GitOps practitioner and has delivered both Kafka-based real-time transaction streaming and a legacy on-prem stack migration to AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager) with controlled cutovers and data consistency validation.”

“Infrastructure security/DevSecOps engineer who led security and automation patterns during a large Azure migration (30+ legacy apps, wave-based execution), enforcing zero-trust controls by baking CrowdStrike/Illumio into golden images and adding CI/CD security gates. Experienced integrating GitLab runners and Terraform agents as containerized services with strong secrets management (Azure Key Vault) and disciplined image/versioning practices, and has hands-on troubleshooting of ACI runtime constraints under load.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who has owned production FastAPI services deployed on Kubernetes, including CI/CD (GitLab CI to ECR) and GitOps delivery via ArgoCD/Helm. Has hands-on experience with complex reliability and infrastructure work—solving data inconsistency with validation/partial-data paths, fixing K8s liveness issues via lazy loading, and supporting a phased cloud-to-on-prem migration with dual-writes and monitoring. Also built Kafka-based real-time ingestion consumers handling bursty, high-throughput traffic with async processing and topic/retention tuning.”

“Solutions Architect with 5+ years leading pre- and post-sales engagements, focused on taking complex tooling from test/prototype to secure production through a structured discovery-to-deployment approach. Experienced in LLM workflow troubleshooting using tools like Langfuse/Gopher and in developer enablement via concise, hands-on workshops (e.g., Jenkins on Kubernetes at scale). Has navigated internal and external blockers to drive adoption and keep enterprise deals moving (including a Jenkins sale to Love's).”

“Backend/ML platform engineer who owns end-to-end delivery of ML-serving APIs (FastAPI + TensorFlow) and runs them reliably on Kubernetes using ArgoCD GitOps. Has hands-on experience solving production-only issues (probe tuning for model warm-up, resource profiling) and building scalable Kafka streaming pipelines, plus supporting phased on-prem to AWS migrations with dependency discovery and recreation of hidden jobs/workflows.”

“Backend Java engineer with strong platform/DevOps experience: modernized an insurance claims legacy monolith into DDD-aligned microservices, deployed containerized services on Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and static analysis gates, and implemented GitOps using ArgoCD. Also led major AWS migration planning with dependency mapping and network monitoring to uncover hidden dependencies, and built Kafka-based real-time event streaming with schema-registry-driven evolution.”

“Backend/platform engineer with hands-on ownership of Kubernetes GitOps delivery (GitHub Actions + Argo CD) on AWS EKS, including progressive rollouts and reliable rollback across interdependent microservices. Built a Python/FastAPI ML-driven document-processing service (PostgreSQL + S3) to complement existing Spring Boot systems, and implemented Kafka streaming pipelines with Schema Registry plus Prometheus/Grafana observability. Also supported a hybrid cloud-to-on-prem migration for compliance/latency with phased rollout and incremental PostgreSQL migration.”
