Mid-level DevOps Engineer specializing in AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation

Dallas, TX7y exp

“DevOps/cloud infrastructure engineer focused on AWS automation: built GitHub Actions/Jenkins pipelines for containerized deployments with strong security controls and rollback, and implemented Terraform-based AWS provisioning with modular code and remote state/locking. Has led on-prem to AWS migration cutovers with structured risk/rollback planning and stabilization, but has not worked directly with IBM Power/AIX/LPARs or PowerHA/HACMP.”

“Project lead who restored a 1999 vintage museum robotics exhibit by inventorying and integrating legacy systems, reverse engineering original behavior, and reimplementing it in a modern codebase. Notably optimized Tesseract OCR and machine-vision pipelines to run on a 400MHz Pentium III with 256MB RAM while bringing up and tuning degraded FireWire IIDC cameras using scarce legacy documentation.”

“Unity/VR developer who shipped and published "Avatar Academy," a VR training software platform, to the Meta Quest Store. Worked on a small team where they owned most of the Unity implementation while teammates handled visuals and the backend/database/web dashboard.”

“Built and deployed a production bilingual (Bengali/English) AI virtual assistant that replaced IVR for telecom customer service at massive scale (~15M users), integrating ASR/TTS, Rasa dialogue management, and custom NLP. Overcame low-resource Bengali data and noisy call-center audio with synthetic data augmentation and transformer fine-tuning, achieving significant production gains including ~50% reduction in support calls.”

“Data engineer who has owned end-to-end ELT pipelines on Airflow + AWS (S3/Glue/Lambda) with Snowflake/Redshift, processing millions of records per day and tens of GBs via PySpark. Built strong data quality and reliability practices (40% quality improvement, 99%+ uptime), and also designed a resilient web-scraping system with anti-bot defenses and schema-change versioning plus REST APIs for serving curated data.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in React, Node.js, and cloud deployment

Toronto, Canada3y exp

“Frontend engineer with experience building enterprise ERP/CRM dashboards in React + TypeScript, including cron-driven data updates and differentiated state flows. Emphasizes CI/CD pipeline setup, performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, React Profiler), and disciplined delivery practices (risk-based QA, phased rollouts); also has Figma-to-responsive implementation experience.”

“Undergraduate Research Assistant at Virginia Commonwealth University with exposure to autonomous vehicle and UAV platforms in the Open Cyber City lab, assembling and setting up Duckiebots/Duckiedrones. Built introductory ROS 2 Python projects (ping-pong pub/sub and services) and has some experience setting up Docker for Duckietown-based robotics environments.”

“Application security engineer/advisor with hands-on experience securing AWS-based, containerized services and embedding SAST/DAST/SCA and container scanning into GitHub/GitLab CI/CD. Drove measurable outcomes (50% faster vuln triage, 40% fewer misconfigs) and has deep operational troubleshooting experience in Kubernetes (agent failures due to CPU throttling/network policies), plus pragmatic strategies to reduce developer friction and handle API rate limits.”

“Embedded/IoT-focused builder who has shipped solo projects on ESP32 + FreeRTOS, including a security camera system with a machine-vision pipeline, light-sensor-driven IR control, and Telegram-based animated GIF alerts. Demonstrated real-time debugging skills by resolving race conditions and timing issues via buffer redesign and mutex-based synchronization; no ROS/ROS2 experience yet but open to learning.”
