Vetted AWS Lambda Professionals

“Built and shipped customer-facing AI systems in banking, including an AI fraud support workflow and virtual assistant at Citi/Citibank that handled over 1 million conversations per month. Combines full-stack engineering, LLM/RAG architecture, and strong compliance-minded design with PII masking, audit logging, confidence thresholds, and human escalation for regulated environments.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building credit/fraud enrichment services and checkout pipelines on AWS (EKS + Lambda) using FastAPI, Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, with a strong focus on reliability patterns (timeouts/retries/circuit breakers) and observability. Has also built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL into S3/Redshift with schema evolution and data quality controls, and modernized legacy credit decisioning into Java/Node microservices with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flag rollouts.”

“Technology leader with experience owning enterprise roadmaps and executing large-scale platform standardization during rapid M&A—most notably driving a tech roadmap across a 37-company portfolio at Regent, tackling technical debt and security gaps via unified cloud-native architecture, IAM/logging, CI/CD, and a global SRE model. Previously scaled an Adobe engineering org from 8 to 40+ across four regions, implementing clear org design, KPIs, and an extreme-ownership culture to support 24/7 operations and enterprise needs.”

“Financial systems engineer who built an automated rebalance-day order reporting and analytics tool on kdb+ pipelines, cutting a high-visibility manual process from 2–3 hours to ~2 minutes and expanding it from North America to EMEA/APAC. Also proposed an early production RAG-based incident knowledge assistant trained on ServiceNow postmortems, with guardrails to scope retrieval by application.”

“IBM engineer who shipped an LLM-powered knowledge transfer platform (Transition Engine) for federal contract handoffs, deployed on a production OpenShift cluster in AWS GovCloud with FedRAMP-aligned compliance and strict data-boundary constraints. Led retrieval strategy, prompt engineering, and production deployment (PostgreSQL/Milvus/Keycloak), driving a reported 50% reduction in contract transition ramp-up time and positioning the tool for revenue-critical federal deals.”

Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision and LLM-powered analytics

Santa Barbara, CA7y exp

“Machine learning engineer and startup veteran building InfraSketch (infrasketch.net), a full-stack system-design/diagramming product where users describe systems in plain English and an LLM agent generates and iterates on infrastructure graphs and exports design docs. Owns the entire stack (React/TS + FastAPI/Node, DynamoDB/Postgres, AWS serverless) and focuses on LLM consistency, modular agent architecture, and production-style CI/CD and reliability patterns.”

Mid-level Backend Software Engineer specializing in Java/Spring microservices and FinTech

Austin, TX5y exp

“Backend engineer with Apple experience who owned production platform improvements end-to-end, including a Redis caching layer that cut API latency ~35–40% and reduced DB load. Has hands-on on-call/incident response and observability (CloudWatch), plus experience scaling Docker/Kubernetes microservices and operating Kafka-based telemetry pipelines with schema evolution, deduplication, and replay/backfill handling.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience shipping production Python integrations and designing for reliability from day one, including idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling, contract checks, and full observability. Also brings web automation experience with Puppeteer and has implemented high-availability failover using load balancer liveness checks, backup environments, and cold standby architecture.”

“ML/GenAI engineer with hands-on experience shipping LLM-powered support systems at Uber, including real-time feedback analysis, ticket summarization, and retrieval-grounded knowledge systems. Stands out for combining fine-tuning, RAG, safety evaluation, and production optimization to drive measurable support outcomes like faster handling times, better resolution rates, and lower latency/cost.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI, data infrastructure, and LLM systems

Urbana, IL4y exp

“Built end-to-end data and automation systems at Sonic SVM, spanning Python/FastAPI/Kafka/Spark ingestion pipelines, warehouse analytics, and Playwright automation for brittle SSO-protected dashboards. Stands out for combining backend/data engineering with strong observability and reliability practices, plus a pragmatic ability to turn messy manual business processes into measurable self-serve workflows.”

Executive engineering leader specializing in platform engineering, AI systems, and SaaS

Detroit, MI24y exp

“Senior engineering executive who has repeatedly rebuilt and scaled product engineering organizations in high-growth environments, including restarting Rocket Auto’s stack from scratch and hiring 100+ engineers during StockX’s hypergrowth phase. Particularly differentiated by being unusually hands-on for an executive leader, with active open source work and a strong focus on AI-native engineering workflows, developer automation, and modern architecture transformation.”

“IBM-based cloud and AI engineer with hands-on experience owning Azure deployment workflows end-to-end, including IaC, DevOps automation, and cost/performance optimization. Also built an edge-first hospital event-detection workflow combining vision, LLM orchestration, and privacy-preserving local processing in a Nvidia/Dell hackathon that won first place.”
