Vetted Cloud-Native Architecture Professionals

“Backend engineer (Nokia) who designs and migrates cloud-native microservices at scale, including a secure low-latency system handling 500k+ daily transactions. Strong in Kubernetes/OpenShift operations, CI/CD standardization, and production security (OAuth2/JWT/RBAC) with SOC2-aligned controls and zero critical security incidents. Demonstrated expertise in safe migrations (canary/blue-green, dual writes, reconciliation) and concurrency correctness in real-time systems.”

“Senior technology/executive leader with 30+ years building and scaling mission-critical platforms across blockchain, cloud, cybersecurity, and fintech, including leading 100+ person global teams and managing $100M P&Ls. Founded Pharus (2022) after driving Web2-to-Web3/DeFi/metaverse initiatives at SDK Co, using a first-principles, PoC-driven approach to deliver secure, compliance-aware transformations (GDPR/NYDFS) and multi-million-dollar optimizations, with a focus on quantum-resistant Web3 and ethical AI governance.”

“IBM Power/AIX engineer with hands-on ownership across compute and SAN, including resolving a high-severity ERP latency incident by tracing it to SAN slow-drain on Cisco switches and orchestrating a port redistribution fix. Experienced running production HA/DR with HACMP and LPAR mobility (quarterly failover tests plus annual SunGard DR simulations) and building Bash-based monitoring/alerting automation to prevent outages.”

“Engineering leader who stays hands-on in high-leverage technical areas (architecture, scalability, reliability) while operating at an executive level. Led StagePilot’s shift from a tightly coupled legacy system to a cloud-native, event-driven real-time platform proven at 1M+ concurrent users, and previously scaled multiple SRE teams at McGraw-Hill with SLOs, on-call, and blameless ops practices.”

“Frontend-focused engineer with experience at T-Mobile and U.S. Bank who maintained a TypeScript utility library (types, tests, build pipeline, and docs) adopted by multiple teams, and improved React workflow performance by refactoring components and optimizing data fetching. Known for pragmatic cross-team support—reproducing issues quickly, shipping well-tested fixes, and managing changes carefully to avoid breaking downstream apps.”

“Backend engineer with PayPal experience owning a high-throughput, low-latency fraud detection pipeline processing billions of transactions/day, integrating LLM-based models into real-time Kafka streams and payment decisioning APIs. Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner (declarative, auditable deployments; autoscaling/probe tuning) with migration experience modernizing legacy systems onto AKS/OpenShift.”

“Sri Lanka–based DevOps/Platform engineer focused on Kubernetes and AWS who has led real production incidents and recoveries (network-policy-induced asymmetric routing; node pool failure due to CNI upgrade). Built production CI/CD with GitHub Actions (ephemeral self-hosted runners on EKS), ArgoCD, Vault, and Terraform, and led a phased ECS-to-EKS migration including Kafka consumers and MongoDB Atlas private endpoints.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer with Blue Cross Blue Shield experience building a reactive, event-driven claims processing microservice platform on AWS (ECS, SNS/SQS) with Terraform-based IaC and strong observability (Dynatrace/CloudWatch). Demonstrated measurable production impact (32% less downtime, 24% higher processing efficiency) and deep database performance/migration expertise across MongoDB and Postgres.”
