Vetted CI/CD Professionals

“Backend/ML platform engineer with Google experience leading Python microservices for an AI-driven recommendation/retrieval system, including PyTorch inference and a retrieval-augmented generation workflow. Strong in production Kubernetes + GitOps (ArgoCD), real-time Kafka/Spark pipelines, and phased on-prem/legacy to AWS/GCP cloud migrations with reliability-focused rollout and rollback practices.”

Staff AI Engineer specializing in LLM systems, retrieval, and ML infrastructure

Remote10y exp

“ML/LLM engineer from Cohere who has owned retrieval, reranking, agentic workflows, and internal evaluation infrastructure end-to-end in production. Particularly strong in turning brittle RAG and research-heavy ideas into scalable enterprise systems with grounded outputs, lower customer escalations, and adoption by major clients like Notion and Fujitsu.”

“Meta engineer who owned end-to-end production systems for AI-enabled smart glasses, spanning React/TypeScript apps through Node/Java microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka/Postgres. Built and productionized a real-time RAG pipeline (LangChain + OpenAI + Elasticsearch) with rigorous guardrails (shadow/canary, fallbacks, monitoring), delivering major improvements in latency (~35–40%), error reduction (~30%), and engagement (reported +40% DAU).”

Executive AI technology leader specializing in agentic AI and enterprise transformation

22y exp

“Candidate is exploring a startup in the autonomous agentic AI space and is approaching it with a disciplined founder mindset. They are evaluating market opportunity, competition, customer pain, ROI, technical feasibility, and MVP options while already speaking with potential customers across verticals to validate needs and buying processes.”

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned real-time reporting and streaming analytics systems end-to-end, combining FastAPI/Postgres APIs with Kafka consumers, Celery background jobs, and Redis caching. Strong DevOps/GitOps experience deploying Python/Node microservices to AWS EKS with Helm, ArgoCD/FluxCD, and CI pipelines, and has supported phased on-prem to AWS migrations using Terraform and traffic cutovers.”

“Engineering leader who drove Lightroom Mobile’s roadmap at Adobe by enforcing reuse of Photoshop imaging tech to deliver RAW, non-destructive mobile editing with full Creative Cloud compatibility. In startup environments, has repeatedly scaled and professionalized engineering orgs (career ladders, evaluation systems, delivery process) and led high-stakes cloud/platform transformations—migrating off Heroku and consolidating fragmented AWS/GCP usage into a single GCP platform—improving reliability, deploy speed, and cutting cloud costs by 20%+.”
