Vetted Cloud-Native Architecture Professionals

“Engineering leader who modernized and unified a fragmented product suite at Milestone via a multi-year cloud-native roadmap, delivering an MVP in three quarters and boosting team velocity by 40% through cross-functional squads. At Prometheum, led a trust-building hybrid architecture (AWS control plane + customer-hosted data plane) using Kubernetes to ensure sensitive enterprise data never left customer networks while remaining cloud-agnostic across providers.”

“Operator with 20+ years experience and a business degree who led the build and deployment of a Medicaid fraud investigation product for Texas HHSC OIG, cutting investigation time from ~2 years to 90 days. Has government go-to-market experience and has raised a friends-and-family round for an earlier startup concept; now pivoting toward a healthcare-focused venture after a cofounder with core tech could not continue.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built a production GPU-backed real-time inference API at Nvidia and debugged burst-induced tail latency, cutting P95 by ~29% through dynamic batching and backpressure. Also shipped an end-to-end RAG + agentic operational diagnostics assistant with strict tool controls, evidence citation, confidence gating, and strong production guardrails, plus demonstrated hands-on Postgres optimization (900ms to 40–60ms).”

“Engineering leader and former CTO/Disney|ABC engineering manager who built white-label mobile app architecture that supported a branded app and successful exit, and later scaled Disney Channel brand app teams across iOS/Android/web and major OTT platforms. Led kid-safety architecture for DisneyNOW (“Junior mode” with PIN) and partnered with product/legal on COPPA compliance, emphasizing maintainable tech choices and strong execution processes.”

“Senior Engineering Manager with large-scale platform/API ownership at eBay, leading a globally distributed team and redesigning Order public APIs used by external developer ecosystems at ~800M requests/day, delivering 84% performance gains and reducing compute by ~300 VMs. Also led Google CRES ETL migration work on GCP, creating reusable Python libraries to standardize configuration across 10 integrations and improve developer productivity.”

“Explored a digital notarization startup concept in 2020 that stalled due to COVID-era inability to secure VC seed meetings; later saw the market validate the idea via a comparable acquisition (~$57M, per candidate). Now more interested in driving innovation and simplifying complex customer experiences within an established organization, using a highly structured, metrics-driven product execution approach.”

“Tech executive with Disney experience who has repeatedly scaled and restructured engineering organizations (from 4 to 30 and up to 100+), using OKRs/KPIs to drive business-aligned roadmaps. Hands-on with architecture and platform strategy, including adopting MongoDB Atlas to centralize transactional data and building shared core services (security/permissions, auditing, compliance) to increase product velocity across distributed teams.”

“Backend engineer (4 years) who built an end-to-end Python backend for a patent-pending in-car massager/heater system, including GraphQL data modeling and Bluetooth integration with an ESP32 microcontroller (reverse engineered a niche protocol). Also has strong platform experience: on-prem Kubernetes/CI-CD (Jenkins/GitLab, exploring ArgoCD GitOps), Terraform-based infra workflows, a RabbitMQ messaging library used across microservices, and an on-prem migration of ~30 critical applications with rollback/parallel-run strategy.”
