Vetted Cloud-Native Architecture Professionals

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building Python FastAPI services and AWS-native data pipelines. Has delivered containerized and serverless workloads (ECS/EKS/Lambda) with Terraform-based IaC, strong reliability patterns (JWT/RBAC, retries/circuit breakers, observability), and AWS Glue ETL into S3/Redshift. Demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (40–50s to <4s) and owned real pipeline incidents through detection, mitigation, and prevention.”

“Backend/platform engineer with production experience building a Python SDK over a microservices ecosystem, emphasizing reliability (JWT auth, retries/timeouts, custom exceptions) and integration testing. Has delivered AWS EKS microservices with Jenkins+Helm CI/CD, strong secrets/config separation using AWS Secrets Manager, and set up Datadog APM/deployment/change monitoring. Also modernized legacy VB applications to C#/.NET WPF via incremental migration with parity testing and stakeholder sign-off.”

“Senior/Lead Frontend/Full-Stack engineer in Toronto with proven experience shipping high-stakes, real-time and regulated products across healthcare, legal/compliance, and fintech. Built a real-time compliance dashboard that survived a 400% data spike and a no-code workflow builder supporting 500+ nodes, with strong emphasis on performance engineering, type-safe architecture, and automated quality/rollout practices.”

“Backend/platform engineer who built real-time connected-vehicle telemetry analytics at Subaru, spanning Kafka streaming, Python/FastAPI ETL, and low-latency WebSocket delivery (minutes to <2s). Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner across AWS EKS and Azure AKS (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitLab) and has led major on-prem-to-cloud migrations for financial microservices using Terraform and AWS DMS with measurable cost and reliability gains.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience building and maintaining a React accessibility utility/component library (open-source-style) used across university portals, emphasizing WCAG 2.2 compliance, robust focus/keyboard behavior, and Jest/React Testing Library coverage. Also built and maintained .NET Core microservices at the Florida Department of Transportation, including integrating AI-driven features, with strong ownership around observability, incident response, and performance-focused refactoring.”

“Backend/full-stack Java engineer at PNC Bank specializing in real-time fraud detection systems. Built event-driven Spring Boot + Kafka microservices with PostgreSQL/Redis performance tuning, and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG feature for fraud analysts with strong guardrails (grounded internal data, structured prompts with references, human-in-the-loop) plus an evaluation loop using labeled historical fraud cases.”

“Software engineer with experience at Wipro Technologies and Wells Fargo building React-based SPAs, reusable component libraries, and developer documentation. Demonstrated strong performance engineering (React.memo, list virtualization, code splitting) with reported >50% rendering-time improvement, plus hands-on production support by diagnosing API outages via monitoring/logs and implementing traffic/server fixes. Comfortable leading workstreams in fast-changing environments using Kanban and tight stakeholder feedback loops.”

“Backend/platform engineer with State Farm experience modernizing and scaling an enterprise consolidated payment data platform and event-driven pipelines. Built cloud-native payment architecture (ECS->EKS) handling millions of financial transactions/day and high-volume telemetry (~100M events/day), with strong schema governance (Avro + schema registry) and production operations/incident mitigation driven by observability.”

“Full-stack product engineer with hands-on experience shipping React/TypeScript applications on AWS serverless infrastructure with Postgres. Stands out for combining measurable performance optimization (~30% faster APIs), UX improvements that lifted activation by 25%, and pragmatic platform thinking through reusable hooks and safe multi-tenant dashboard customization.”

Senior DevSecOps Engineer specializing in multi-cloud Kubernetes and CI/CD automation

New York, NY10y exp

“Cloud/DevOps engineer operating across AWS and Azure, running Kubernetes workloads with secure CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps) and Terraform IaC. Has supported AIX/PowerHA systems in hybrid environments—handling failover testing, incident recovery, and performance troubleshooting (including multipath/storage-path issues)—and has led cutovers by managing dependencies, rollback, and stabilization.”

“Repeat founding-team contributor with hands-on experience helping startups build prototypes and MVPs that support fundraising. Currently developing an enterprise AI governance engine to make AI agent decisions deterministic under user-defined policies, with an MVP and investor feedback process planned.”

“Built a production AI stylist agent for retail store associates that pulls customer loyalty, address, and purchase-history data to generate in-store product recommendations. Demonstrates hands-on experience across agent orchestration, MCP-based tool integration, Vertex AI/GCP deployment, observability, resilience patterns, and pragmatic production tradeoffs like using PostgreSQL with pgvector instead of a standalone vector database.”
