Vetted Azure Kubernetes Service Professionals

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned production TypeScript systems in both fintech-style transaction/rewards flows and HIPAA-regulated healthcare platforms. Deep focus on correctness and reliability (idempotency, retries/DLQs, reconciliation, observability) plus strong infra automation (Docker/Terraform/CI-CD) and measurable performance wins (40% query improvement, 90% test coverage).”

“Full-stack product engineer who has built AI-assisted CRM and agent workflows in Project SARA and operational systems like payroll for a staffing platform. Stands out for combining React/TypeScript, Django/Postgres, real-time systems, and LLM orchestration with strong product instincts—delivering measurable gains in response time, conversion, and engineering leverage.”

“Full-stack .NET/Azure engineer with end-to-end ownership of policy management microservices (React/TypeScript + C#/ASP.NET Core + Kubernetes) delivering significant performance and quality improvements (e.g., response time -35%, defects -30%, CSAT +18%). Also productionized an AI-assisted analyst workflow using Azure OpenAI with a RAG pipeline on Azure Cognitive Search, including rigorous prompt versioning, guardrails, and measurable impact (review time -40%, errors -55%). Led incremental legacy modernization via Strangler Fig and dual-write migrations with zero production regressions.”

“Cloud/infrastructure engineer with strong production operations background across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes, supporting 30+ enterprise workloads for ~40,000 users. Demonstrated incident leadership (hybrid AKS-to-AWS routing outage) with a reported 60% MTTR reduction, plus hands-on CI/CD (Jenkins) and Terraform-based IaC for AWS (VPC/EC2/EKS). Lacks direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience but emphasizes transferable ops and troubleshooting skills.”

“Data engineer who has owned production pipelines end-to-end—from Kafka/Airflow ingestion through SQL/Python validation and dbt transformations into Redshift/BI. Also built and operated a large-scale distributed web scraping platform (50–100 sites daily, ~5–10M records/day) with Kubernetes, Kafka queues, robust retries/DLQ, anti-bot measures, and backfill-safe raw HTML storage.”

“IBM Power/AIX engineer who has owned a 150+ LPAR AIX 7.x estate with VIOS/HMC/vHMC and PowerHA in production, including real outage and failover recoveries. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience—built Jenkins pipelines deploying to AKS and implemented Terraform on AWS with remote state, locking, and drift management.”

“At ReferU.AI, designed and deployed an agentic RAG pipeline that automates multi-jurisdiction legal document drafting, emphasizing hallucination reduction through hybrid retrieval, validation agents, guardrails, and iterative regeneration. Experienced with orchestration frameworks (especially CrewAI) and rigorous testing/evaluation practices including human-in-the-loop review, adversarial testing, and production metrics/logging.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in production ML, MLOps, and NLP

Bristol, PA4y exp

“Built and deployed a transformer-based clinical document classification system that processes unstructured clinical notes in a HIPAA-compliant healthcare setting, served via FastAPI on AWS and integrated into an Airflow/S3 pipeline. Demonstrates strong end-to-end MLOps skills (data quality remediation, low-latency inference optimization, monitoring with MLflow/CloudWatch) and effective collaboration with clinicians to drive adoption.”

“Junior web developer turned applied AI builder who has shipped both user-facing web UX improvements (Vue.js + Drupal/Twig) and production LLM systems. Built a Google Cloud-hosted Llama/Ollama RAG customer-service chatbot with citation-based guardrails and a metrics-driven eval loop, and also delivered a large-scale Python pipeline analyzing 14M Amazon consumer reviews for flavor-trend detection.”
