Vetted Azure Kubernetes Service Professionals

“Built and productionized an LLM-enhanced version of the WeDAA platform to auto-generate microservice architecture diagrams and support code generation from user prompts, including a practical solution for non-overlapping canvas object placement via coordinate templates. Experienced in diagnosing agentic workflow failures using AWS Strands agents with feature-flagged debug logging, and frequently supports sales through tailored demos and POCs to drive adoption.”

“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.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, cloud, and applied LLM/NLP

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.”

“LLM engineer/data analyst who built a production RAG QA assistant over the Jurafsky & Martin NLP textbook to reduce hallucinations and provide explainable, source-grounded answers. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, retrieval optimization (embeddings, vector DBs, caching), and rigorous evaluation/monitoring (Retrieval@K, A/B tests, telemetry/drift). Previously communicated analytics insights to non-technical stakeholders at GS Analytics using Power BI and simplified reporting.”

“Candidate is actively using AI-assisted development tools, including MCP server integrations with Copilot, to generate boilerplate test scripts, validate code standards, and handle package updates. They also have hands-on experience choosing different agents based on task requirements and serving as an admin for AI tool access.”

Senior Python Engineer specializing in scalable backend and distributed systems

Stockton, CA6y exp

“Senior Software Engineer who has operated in a functional implementation capacity on B2B SaaS projects, especially identity verification and infrastructure intelligence platforms. Stands out for translating stakeholder and compliance requirements into APIs, workflow logic, data mappings, and UAT processes, with experience supporting utility-focused asset risk and maintenance decision platforms at scale.”

“Cloud/DevOps-focused engineer with hands-on experience building Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications deployed to AKS, including security scanning, approvals, versioned artifacts, and rollback. Also implemented Terraform-based IaC for Azure (VNets/subnets/NSGs/AKS) with modular design, remote state/locking, and drift detection; resolved a real deployment outage caused by an Azure RBAC permission change.”

“Built and deployed a production AI accessibility platform that turns chart and image-based graphs into real-time audio narratives for visually impaired users. Implemented a ResNet-based CV + OCR + NLP + TTS pipeline and improved performance through preprocessing, Redis caching, and Kubernetes autoscaling/rolling updates on AWS to handle traffic spikes with no downtime.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong production experience improving performance and reliability of data-heavy analytics products. Has shipped end-to-end features spanning Node/Express + PostgreSQL + Redis and React/TypeScript, deployed via Docker/GitHub Actions to AWS EKS with Helm, and monitored with Datadog/CloudWatch; also built a Python compliance automation backend for AWS security monitoring with RBAC, versioned REST APIs, and resilient throttling-aware processing.”
