Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Insurance, FinTech, and AI/ML applications

Dublin, CA17y exp

“AI/backend engineer who fine-tuned and deployed a production LLM chatbot using a LangChain + FAISS RAG pipeline, improving latency with PEFT/LoRA and driving strong business impact (40% customer adoption; 92% satisfaction). Also served as technical lead on a data aggregation system for underwriting/quoting, introducing GraphQL for more efficient, maintainable querying and applying CDC to keep cached ranking data fresh at scale.”

Mid-level DevOps/SRE Engineer specializing in cloud CI/CD, IaC, and Kubernetes

Nashville, TN5y exp

“Infrastructure engineer with deep production IBM Power/AIX experience (AIX 7.2/7.3, HMC, dual VIOS, PowerHA) supporting ~25–30 LPARs and handling live DLPAR tuning, HA failovers, and Power7→Power9 migrations. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps CI/CD deploying Dockerized microservices to Kubernetes with Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, strong controls around secrets, drift, and safe rollouts.”

“Infrastructure security/DevSecOps engineer who led security and automation patterns during a large Azure migration (30+ legacy apps, wave-based execution), enforcing zero-trust controls by baking CrowdStrike/Illumio into golden images and adding CI/CD security gates. Experienced integrating GitLab runners and Terraform agents as containerized services with strong secrets management (Azure Key Vault) and disciplined image/versioning practices, and has hands-on troubleshooting of ACI runtime constraints under load.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in MLOps, NLP, and real-time ML pipelines

5y exp

“Built a production, real-time insurance claims document-understanding and fraud-detection pipeline using TensorFlow + fine-tuned BERT, deployed on AWS (SageMaker/Lambda/API Gateway) with automated retraining via MLflow and Jenkins. Addressed noisy documents and latency using augmentation and model distillation (3x faster), cutting claims ops manual review by ~50% and reducing fraudulent payouts.”

Senior Data Engineer specializing in cloud lakehouse and streaming data platforms

5y exp

“Data platform/data engineer with cross-industry experience in banking and healthcare, building cloud-native lakehouse architectures across AWS/Azure/GCP. Has owned high-volume (millions of records; TB/day) pipelines with strong data quality automation (dbt/Great Expectations), observability (Grafana/Prometheus), and real-time streaming (Kafka/Spark) for fraud monitoring; also delivered an early-stage migration from SQL Server to BigQuery with 40% batch latency reduction.”

“GCP-focused database/infrastructure engineer with hands-on production support for Cloud SQL and Firestore, spanning provisioning, IAM, scaling, backups, and performance tuning. They also described supporting a hybrid GCP architecture for a monolithic on-prem PostgreSQL workload and resolving a major latency incident by tracing cascading failures and fixing indexing issues.”

“Cloud/hybrid infrastructure engineer with McKesson experience migrating tightly coupled healthcare applications to microservices on AWS EKS. Strong in IaC-driven standardization, CI/CD automation, and production observability (CloudWatch/Splunk/Prometheus/tracing), with demonstrated ability to debug complex incidents spanning Kubernetes and cloud networking.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer (Geico) focused on AWS and Kubernetes at production scale. Has hands-on experience building secure GitHub Actions CI/CD for EKS, provisioning core AWS infrastructure with Terraform/CDK, and leading end-to-end incident response with post-incident automation to prevent recurrence; no direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in healthcare analytics and microservices

Remote, USA4y exp

“Built and maintained an air-quality prediction backend in Python/Flask that serves offline-trained ML models to a React dashboard via JSON REST APIs. Demonstrates strong performance focus across the stack—low-latency inference under load, SQLAlchemy/Postgres query optimization, multi-tenant data isolation, and caching/background task strategies for high-throughput systems.”

“Backend/data engineer who builds Python (FastAPI) data-processing API services for internal analytics/reporting, emphasizing modular architecture, async performance tuning, and reliability patterns (health checks, retries, observability). Also migrated legacy on-prem ETL pipelines to Azure using ADF/Data Lake/Functions and implemented a near-real-time ingestion flow with Event Hubs plus watermarking to handle late events and deduplication.”

“Backend engineer with cloud-native Python/Flask experience building high-throughput financial platforms (loan origination intelligent document processing and real-time fraud detection). Has scaled microservices on AKS with event-driven Azure messaging, delivered measurable performance gains (e.g., 700ms→180ms query latency; ~40% API improvements), and implemented strong security controls (OAuth2/JWT, Azure AD RBAC, audit logging, AES-256/TLS) for sensitive regulated data.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer with hands-on production experience across Power8/Power9 frames, VIOS and HMC, including resolving a production LPAR outage caused by vFC mapping issues. Has operated PowerHA clusters for critical finance workloads, running quarterly failover tests and handling an unplanned failover triggered by a network adapter failure, then improving resilience with redundancy and monitoring automation.”

“Full-stack engineer who built an oil & gas analytics dashboard backend using FastAPI, MongoDB, and Redis with a metadata-driven design for dynamic plotting. Shipped an LLM-powered chatbot (LangChain + tool/function calling) to let engineers query analytics in natural language, and also built a multi-step university chatbot workflow with Azure logging, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop review.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a sizable production estate (50 Power servers / ~200 LPARs) spanning VIOS/HMC, SAN/NFS, and PowerHA clusters. Demonstrates strong incident leadership (LPAR outage + split-brain recovery) and a process-improvement mindset with measurable reductions in recurrence/MTTR, while also bringing modern DevOps/IaC experience (Jenkins, ArgoCD, Terraform, security scanning, canary/blue-green).”

“DevOps/Infrastructure engineer with hands-on production experience building Jenkins CI/CD pipelines that provision Kubernetes infrastructure and process data into a MapR cluster. Uses Terraform to provision AWS resources (EC2, S3, VPC, subnets) with remote state in S3, separate environment state files, and code review/validation practices; targeting $135k base.”

“Software engineer focused on backend and full-stack development who is already integrating AI deeply into day-to-day engineering workflows. Stands out for experimenting with multi-agent setups where separate agents handle planning, coding, review, testing, and documentation, while maintaining strong human oversight around quality, security, and performance.”
