Vetted AWS Glue Professionals

“Backend/ML platform engineer from Snapsheet who owned production Python services and data pipelines for insurance claims, including an AI document classification/summarization FastAPI service on ECS/Fargate processing 1M+ documents/year. Strong in AWS infrastructure (Terraform, CI/CD, secrets/IAM, autoscaling), Glue/PySpark ETL with schema evolution controls, and legacy SAS-to-microservices modernization with safe, feature-flagged rollouts and measurable performance wins.”

“Backend/data engineer with experience at Nike building high-volume order orchestration and validation APIs using FastAPI microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka, Redis, and Postgres. Strong in production reliability (timeouts/retries/idempotency), GitOps (Argo CD) + Terraform deployments, and data pipelines (AWS Glue/S3), with hands-on incident ownership and legacy modernization into API-driven services.”

“Senior, product-focused engineer who has built real-time customer-facing web applications and a microservices backend (TypeScript/React/Node) using RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and Redis. Demonstrates strong operational maturity (idempotency, tracing/observability, backpressure) and built an internal console that became the primary tool for debugging, replaying jobs, and managing system behavior.”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on scalable data security scanning and risk detection in hybrid cloud, owning architecture and core implementation of an incremental/parallel DSPM scanning engine. Shipped production improvements including 60% lower scan latency and 30% fewer false positives, with strong emphasis on correctness under concurrency, multi-tenant observability (SLOs/burn-rate alerts), and disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, shadow scans, canaries).”

“Player-coach engineer/lead on a high-scale research integrity platform ("Lighthouse") that flags fraud/manipulation signals across ~3M academic manuscripts per year. Owns architecture decisions (ADRs), implements across Go/Java/React services, and introduced NLP (SciBERT embeddings + human-in-the-loop) to assess out-of-context citations while also handling production incidents with a data-consistency-first approach.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer (Amazon experience) who built an AWS-based integration testing platform using Flask, ECS, Docker, and CloudWatch—cutting 1000+ test cases from ~5 hours to ~30 minutes while improving log visibility for non-engineering users. Also led a zero-downtime EU region migration with rigorous ORR testing, and built a Kinesis/Firehose/S3 + Glue/Spark replay mechanism for resilient data recovery. Side project: reproducible, cost-efficient LLM hosting platform on EKS using CDK and Karpenter for scale-to-zero.”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered platform that turns models into scalable REST/gRPC APIs, focusing on keeping GPU-backed inference fast and stable during traffic spikes. Experienced with AWS orchestration (EKS/ECS/Step Functions), safe model rollouts, and production-grade monitoring/testing for reliable AI agents and workflows.”

“Built and deployed a production clinical support LLM assistant at Mayo Clinic using a LangChain-orchestrated RAG architecture (Llama 2/PaLM) over de-identified clinical records, integrating BigQuery with Pinecone for semantic retrieval. Focused on healthcare-critical reliability by reducing hallucinations through grounding, implementing HIPAA-aligned privacy controls (Cloud DLP, VPC Service Controls), and running structured evaluations with clinician feedback.”

“Software engineer with strong AWS production experience, including an end-to-end historical backfill system exporting ~10PB of CloudWatch logs into a data lake using Step Functions/Kinesis/Lambda/Firehose/Glue. Emphasizes reliability and operability (DynamoDB checkpointing, monitoring dashboards, CI/CD with canary tests) and has also built customer-facing UI work for the Visa Developer Portal using Angular + Spring Boot, plus React/Redux frontend work.”
