Vetted AWS IAM Professionals

“Engineering leader (Director of Development) with hands-on cloud and product experience who builds business-aligned technology roadmaps and scales teams. Delivered an enterprise cloud-migration enabler at UHG by implementing AD authentication and Terraform-based IaC for custom VM images while meeting 90-day InfoSec patch/rotation requirements, and drove a 20% lift in user consumption/retention by designing an interactive branded media portal experience for Sunkist.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in cloud, AI, and systems programming

Seattle, WA1y exp

“AWS intern who significantly evolved a Drift Audit Service backend (Control Tower/EventBridge context) to make drift findings more explainable and reduce false positives by adding a verification step in Lambda before event ingestion. Demonstrates strong API design fundamentals in Python/FastAPI (contracts, idempotency, security controls) and careful rollout practices (feature flags, canaries, phased deployments).”

“IAM/platform engineer with experience at DocuSign and Siemens who ships production-grade systems end-to-end: built a secure AWS serverless internal employee-profile API (OAuth2/Cognito/WAF) that cut data retrieval from weeks to near-instant and sustained ~2,800 RPS at ~75 ms. Also delivered production AI workflows, including a GPT-4o + Playwright crypto-scam detection agent and an NLP ticket-routing system improved to ~86.7% accuracy with strong monitoring and incident mitigation practices.”

“Engineering leader with experience building point-of-care diagnostics platforms (IoT-connected PCR device delivering results in <15 minutes) and scaling multidisciplinary teams (55+). Has led major data/IoT architecture decisions (multi-cluster Kubernetes with secure routing; Kafka + Gobblin over MQTT) and runs execution with Agile roadmaps tightly aligned to GTM and senior leadership.”

Junior Software Development Engineer specializing in cloud security and CI/CD

Herndon, VA2y exp

“Backend/security-focused engineer supporting a service with 100k+ monthly users. Built an automated load-testing suite that reproduced and mitigated catastrophic host failures from oversized SCP/rsync transfers via host-level throttling, and proposed a future sharding approach for very large transfers. Also created an internal agent to summarize anomalous metrics and provide ready-to-run debug queries, significantly reducing ops review time.”

Bennett Smith

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and React

Los Angeles, CA14y exp

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning high-traffic FastAPI APIs (Postgres/Redis/Kafka) and serverless+container deployments (Lambda/ECS) managed via Terraform and CI/CD. Has built Glue-based data lake ETL (S3 Parquet, Athena/Redshift) with schema drift/data quality controls, modernized legacy batch systems via parallel-run parity validation, and demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (60–90s down to 3–5s).”

“Amazon Prime Video backend engineer who built and operated high-traffic Python/FastAPI services and AWS-native data/batch systems. Demonstrates strong production reliability and incident ownership (CloudWatch/X-Ray), plus measurable performance wins (8s to <200ms query latency, ~40% CPU reduction) and cost-focused architectures (Lambda + ECS/Fargate with Fargate Spot).”

“Built and owned end-to-end deployment and AI support workflows spanning CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, and LLM/RAG systems. Stands out for combining DevOps delivery with production AI operations, including secure tool-calling, incident debugging, retrieval quality controls, and validation-first document ingestion for messy real-world inputs.”
