Vetted Azure Functions Professionals

“Built and productionized a tool-first, multi-agent framework that augments an anomaly detection model with domain context to generate trustworthy, evidence-backed anomaly explanations (including false-positive likelihood). Architected the platform to be model/orchestration/vectorDB agnostic (e.g., GPT + CrewAI + ChromaDB vs Claude + LangGraph + other vector DB) with strong performance, reliability, and OpenTelemetry-based observability. Also built a personal LangGraph-based "mock interviewer" agent that asynchronously fuses voice + live code input using state reducers, stop conditions, and fallback routing.”

“Azure cloud platform engineer with strong enterprise Linux operations background who designs multi-region HA/DR on Azure (and AWS) using Azure Site Recovery, Traffic Manager, AKS autoscaling, and geo-replicated Azure SQL. Built secure Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for .NET/Python microservices to AKS/VMs and provisions full environments via Terraform modules with remote state, drift checks, and staged rollouts; has not directly owned IBM Power/AIX at scale.”

“Software engineer with payments-domain experience (Visa) building real-time transaction monitoring and analytics systems. Strong end-to-end ownership across Spring Boot/Kafka microservices, PostgreSQL modeling, and AWS/Kubernetes operations, plus React+TypeScript dashboards—focused on low-latency processing, secure APIs, and zero-downtime production releases.”

“Internship at ActiveVM where they tackled large-scale Spring Boot 2→3/library migrations across hundreds of downstream products by combining OpenRewrite (AST-based recipes) with an LLM/RAG-based classifier that routed risky files to human experts. Reported ~70% reduction in manual effort and 90%+ accuracy after testing across multiple branches and cutovers; also built a CTR-driven book recommendation capstone showcased at the Google office in Cambridge.”
