Vetted Azure Functions Professionals

“Built a LangGraph-based, tool-routing LLM chatbot to deliver fast, trustworthy investment-stock insights (including tariff impact) and deployed it to production on Snowflake after initially developing in Azure with AI Search and the Microsoft Agent Framework. Improved routing robustness by moving from LLM-based decisions to a deterministic router backed by schema-relationship graphs and YAML metadata, and ran the project iteratively with non-technical stakeholders over an 8-month engagement.”

“Backend Java developer who built an end-to-end upcoming payments feature: Spring Boot/Hibernate microservices with MySQL query/index optimization and Kafka event publishing, plus a web UI timeline component enabling users to view, skip, and edit scheduled payments with clear status indicators.”

IN, USA4y exp

“Applied LLMs to classify long nonprofit mission statements into 8 segments without labeled data, using an ensemble of clustering/embedding methods plus zero-shot RoBERTa/BART and a Tree-of-Thought prompting pipeline with LLM-as-judge evaluation (Gemma). Also built LangChain/LlamaIndex agentic RAG workflows including a text-to-SQL data analysis assistant grounded on DB schema with retries and performance optimizations on an HPC cluster.”

Senior Game Developer specializing in Unity ECS/DOTS and multiplayer systems

Klagenfurt, Austria7y exp

“Unity/Meta Quest VR developer who has shipped three VR projects for different organizations, including an arachnophobia treatment experience for a university psychology department, a warehouse VR training project, and a children’s mental health-focused VR game. Also building a long-running personal project: a cooperative online multiplayer Metroidvania developed over ~3 years, with significant learning and refactoring around networking.”

“Frontend-focused builder who worked on the VITALES.LIFE healthcare app using Next.js/React Native alongside multiple backend technologies (NestJS, Go, Python/FastAPI) on Firebase/GCP. Has experience delivering client-driven MVPs (e.g., Omnicommander, Talentus) and uses Jest for test coverage while emphasizing code reuse and non-duplicative components.”

“Built and owned a production-grade RAG/LLM support automation system on AWS using GPT-4, Pinecone, FastAPI, and Redis, taking it from initial experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Their work reduced support workload and ticket volume by about 40%, improved CSAT and self-service resolution, and they also created shared Python/LLM infrastructure that accelerated other teams' delivery from weeks to days.”

“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.”

“Unity engineer with 11+ years of experience spanning gameplay systems, multiplayer networking, mobile optimization, VR, and recent AI/LLM-driven tooling. He described substantially reworking systems for the mobile version of Attack of the Earthlings, with code improvements strong enough to be reused on the PC version, and more recently led major modernization work on Shiba Eternity including Unity upgrades, restructuring, and cross-functional delivery processes.”

“Frontend engineer with hands-on experience building production React/TypeScript dashboards for operations teams, including real-time ETL and service monitoring. Stands out for combining maintainable component design with practical performance optimization and map-based visualization work in data-heavy applications.”

“Senior backend/data engineer who has built and maintained HIPAA-compliant, real-time clinical FastAPI services on AWS, orchestrating ML/LLM and vector DB calls with strong reliability patterns (auth, timeouts/retries, graceful degradation, idempotency). Also delivered AWS IaC/CI-CD (Terraform/Helm/GitHub Actions) across EKS/Lambda/SageMaker and built Glue/Spark ETL with schema evolution and data quality controls, plus demonstrated large SQL performance wins (15 min to <9 sec) and hands-on incident ownership.”

“Software engineer with hands-on production experience deploying Spring Boot services to AWS using Docker and Jenkins CI/CD, focused on stable releases, easy rollback, and performance improvements through monitoring/logging and query optimization. Has proven cross-layer troubleshooting skills (identified packet loss causing intermittent timeouts via network traces) and experience collaborating on-site with operators in industrial/IoT-style environments, including working alongside robotics/PLC teams.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered incident response agent for a microservices platform, automating alert triage and safe remediation recommendations with strong guardrails (RAG grounding, structured JSON outputs, rule-based validation, and human-in-the-loop). Implemented state-machine orchestration (Redis/Kafka), comprehensive eval/monitoring, and an error categorization pipeline that cut hallucination errors ~40% and reduced MTTR ~30%.”

Overland Park, KS8y exp

“LLM/agentic-systems practitioner who shipped a recruiting resume-assistant from prototype to production, tackling hallucinations and multi-format document ingestion (PDF/images with OCR). Strong in real-time workflow debugging (logs/traces, reproducing prod issues) and pragmatic mitigation (feature flags), and helped drive customer adoption by presenting impact data and creating educational materials.”

“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).”

Plano, TX9y exp

“Built a production AI-powered university marking system that automates question generation and grading from PDF course materials using a RAG pipeline (S3 + Pinecone) orchestrated with LangChain/LangGraph and deployed on AWS ECS via Docker/ECR and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Addressed a key real-world LLM challenge—grading consistency—by implementing rubric-based scoring, retrieval re-ranking, and standardized context summarization, validated against human instructors.”
