Vetted Cloud-Native Architecture Professionals

“Engineering leader who drove TiVo IPTV’s client-facing API modernization from a monolith to AWS-based microservices (API Gateway, Lambda, EKS, Kafka, DynamoDB/RDS), including phased/blue-green production routing of millions of calls. Emphasizes org scaling through skill-based hiring, mentorship, and a you-build-you-run ownership culture, while balancing technical leadership with executive stakeholder communication and budgeting.”

“React-focused engineer who built a full-stack analytics/test-metrics dashboard (React frontend + Python backend) and turned common UI pieces (data tables, filter panels, chart wrappers) into a reusable internal component library with docs, examples, and basic tests. Strong on profiling-driven performance optimization (React Profiler, memoization) and on owning ambiguous internal-tool projects end-to-end; now planning to package internal patterns into public open-source components.”

“Engineering/technology leader with mission-critical experience at JPL NASA on the Mars Curiosity Rover, delivering an AI-driven navigation system designed for zero tolerance for mistakes and reportedly operating with no failures for 15+ years. Also led a monolith-to-microservices, cloud-native migration that improved scalability by 300% and cut deployments from days to hours, and is comfortable switching between executive fundraising/stakeholder communication and deep technical leadership.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience at Atlassian and Zoho, spanning GraphQL federation, React/TypeScript frontends, and cloud-native AWS/Kubernetes operations. Built and operated a federated GraphQL gateway with Terraform + CI/CD + observability, delivering major latency and integration-time improvements, and also designed high-volume Kafka data pipelines (10M+ events/day) with strong reliability guarantees.”

“Healthcare data platform builder with experience at Aetion delivering a rule-based EMR/EHR ingestion and validation framework that cut onboarding from 8–10 weeks to hours and unlocked $30M+ in revenue over ~3 years. Motivated to found an AI/agent-driven healthcare solution, with a specific interest in using PET scans, doctor notes, and treatment data with LLMs to help predict cancer progression and guide next-step treatments.”

“Engineering leader who has led 100+ engineers at Sainsbury’s Tech and previously scaled an org from 6 to 60+ at AND Digital. Drove a high-impact modernization of a pricing/decisioning platform serving 1,700 stores—moving from batch monolith to real-time Kafka-based event-driven microservices with MLOps, IaC (Terraform), and zero-trust—delivering £18m+ annual profit uplift and 10+ deploys/day.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-powered clinical assistant at a healthcare startup, re-architecting a prototype into a robust RAG system on AWS with guardrails, citations, monitoring, and automated tests for clinical reliability. Works closely with clinicians to convert workflow feedback into evaluation criteria and iterative system improvements, and has hands-on experience debugging agentic systems in real time (including during live client demos).”

“LLM/agentic systems builder at Verizon who deployed a LangGraph-orchestrated multi-agent ticket-automation platform with RAG (FAISS) to replace brittle rule-based bots. Improved routing correctness by ~30–40%, hit ~300ms latency targets via model routing, and reduced ops workload by ~60% through tight iteration with non-technical stakeholders and strong testing/observability practices.”

“Fintech product engineer working on a large-scale credit monitoring platform (tens of millions of users) with deep experience in regulated banking integrations, PII security, and step-up/MFA flows. Has shipped customer-facing React/TypeScript experiences driven by Optimizely experimentation and built reliable partner-facing microservices/SDKs on AWS, including resolving production traffic loss caused by edge security (DataDome/CAPTCHA) conflicts with payment providers.”

“Microsoft cloud/infra engineer with 5+ years supporting enterprise Azure environments, specializing in security-focused networking (private endpoints, DNS) and production troubleshooting across Azure Front Door/App Gateway WAF/AKS. Has implemented posture improvements via Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, and RBAC tightening, and also designs secure AWS agent/scanner integrations and modern EKS/GitHub Actions/Secrets Manager observability-enabled SDK rollouts.”
