Vetted AWS Step Functions Professionals

“AWS-focused backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building serverless APIs (Lambda/API Gateway) secured with Cognito/JWT, deploying via Terraform + CI/CD, and managing secrets with Secrets Manager/Parameter Store. Also built AWS Glue ETL from S3 to RDS with schema evolution and data-quality controls, modernized a monolith into microservices using parallel testing, and delivered major SQL performance gains (minutes to seconds) while owning incident response for batch pipelines.”

“LLM/agentic AI builder who deployed a production ITSM automation agent on Google ADK integrating ServiceNow and FreshService, with strong safety guardrails (human-approval gating and runbook-only command execution) and rigorous evaluation (500 synthetic tickets; 80%+ false-positive reduction). Also partnered with finance to deliver an AI agent that automated invoice/SOW retrieval and monthly reporting to account managers, reducing manual back-and-forth.”

Junior AI Data Engineer specializing in Azure Databricks lakehouse and GenAI RAG systems

Irving, TX2y exp

“Backend/applied AI engineer from Cloud Rack Systems who built production GenAI/RAG and data platforms on Azure/Databricks at enterprise scale (2.5M records/day). Known for making LLM systems behave like deterministic services via strict retrieval contracts, citation-based validation, and strong observability—shipping a knowledge assistant used daily by 50+ users while driving hallucinations near zero and materially improving latency and cost.”

“Backend engineer specializing in event-driven/serverless systems and Python/FastAPI APIs. Built a scalable PDF-to-structured-data pipeline on AWS (S3, Lambda, Step Functions, Textract, DynamoDB, SNS) with strong observability (p50/p90/p99) and reliability patterns (idempotency, retries/DLQs), and has led zero-downtime migrations using feature flags, dual writes, and incremental rollouts.”

Senior Full-Stack Java Developer specializing in Healthcare IT and FinTech

Florida, USA4y exp

“Built and owned an end-to-end HIPAA-compliant Next.js/TypeScript portal at Casedok using a microservices, event-driven architecture with Temporal-orchestrated SAGA workflows. Emphasizes production-grade quality (strict typing, Jest integration tests, CI + mandatory PR reviews) and operational reliability/observability (circuit breakers, idempotency, Prometheus alerts), plus experience designing external-facing APIs with Swagger, JWT, and backward-compatible versioning.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based multilingual analytics assistant for healthcare operations, enabling non-technical teams to query claims/EHR and risk metrics with grounded explanations. Demonstrates strong end-to-end LLM system engineering (retrieval tuning, re-ranking, hallucination controls, verification layers) plus workflow orchestration (Airflow/Composer/Step Functions) and stakeholder-driven iteration via prototypes and dashboards.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in Golang and cloud-native FinTech systems

USA3y exp

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer in fintech/payments who shipped an end-to-end Stripe payments + webhook system for a financial microservices platform, emphasizing ledger accuracy via idempotency, transactional writes, retries, and DLQs. Also delivered a real-time React/TypeScript payment status dashboard informed by user interviews, and improved production performance by 35% p95 latency through PostgreSQL tuning and Redis caching on AWS.”

“Built an end-to-end agentic population health strategy copilot for healthcare leadership, turning broad chronic disease questions into structured, evidence-backed strategy briefs. Stands out for combining healthcare domain knowledge with production-grade GenAI implementation, including LangGraph orchestration, Databricks/MLflow deployment, human review, and quality gates focused on citations, metrics, risks, and safety.”

“Built AI-powered products across both healthcare and financial services, including a privacy-conscious assistant for elderly health check-ins and a production RAG system for high-stakes financial document analysis. Stands out for combining full-stack engineering with strong LLM reliability practices—grounding, structured outputs, fallback handling, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop controls—while delivering measurable impact on accuracy, speed, and system performance.”

“Built a production multi-agent RAG assistant using LangChain/LangGraph with OpenAI embeddings and FAISS, focusing on retrieval quality and latency (Redis caching, parallel retrieval, precomputed embeddings). Experienced orchestrating ETL/ML pipelines with Airflow and Databricks Workflows, and has delivered an AI assistant for business ops to extract insights from policy/compliance documents through close non-technical stakeholder collaboration.”

“Built and owned a customer-facing Document Intelligence Service for legal contract analytics at Noasis Digital, delivering extraction/summarization with careful accuracy controls (confidence thresholds, versioned deployments, production logging). Also developed a React/TypeScript document review app and internal QA dashboard, and has hands-on microservices experience with async messaging (RabbitMQ), timeout tuning, and centralized structured logging for reliability at scale.”

“Backend/DevOps-leaning engineer who has owned a Python serverless platform on AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, Step Functions), including complex multi-step business workflows with transaction-based consistency and robust failure handling. Also supported an on-prem SQL to Azure Data Lake migration by building and monitoring Python + Azure Data Factory ETL pipelines, and led GitOps-style CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions (tests, security scans, automated deployments).”
