Vetted Communication Professionals

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across Python/Flask microservices and AWS serverless/data platforms (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Glue/PySpark). Demonstrated strong reliability and operations mindset (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts/circuit breakers, CloudWatch/SNS alerting) and measurable performance wins (SQL report runtime cut from 10 minutes to 30 seconds). Seeking ~$150k base and cannot travel for onsite meetings for the next 5–6 months due to family medical constraints.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building a real-time notification API on Flask/Celery/Postgres and scaling it on AWS with Docker, Redis queuing, and SQLAlchemy query optimization. Also delivered AWS serverless deployments (Lambda) using Terraform + GitHub Actions and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines from S3 to Redshift with CloudWatch monitoring and DataBrew data quality checks.”

“Customer-facing application security/support professional who helps teams operationalize SAST/DAST/SCA in CI/CD, reduce false positives, and prioritize remediation by business risk. Has hands-on experience troubleshooting intermittent pipeline failures (rate limiting/timeouts under parallel load) using logs/metrics/traces, and driving durable outcomes via runbooks/KB documentation and phased security rollouts across stakeholders.”

“Hands-on public sector sales leader with 20 years of experience building and scaling government-focused SaaS and tech-enabled sales organizations. Most notably, he was the first sales hire at Library Ideas and grew the business from $0 to $19M ARR across 5,000 customers in 20 countries, while also demonstrating strong team turnaround, forecasting rigor, and success in complex RFP-driven government deals.”

“Public sector sales leader who ran Teleste’s North America Video Security and Public Safety business unit, owning sales, support, and operations while growing clients and revenue 300% in four years and 400% over nine years. Stands out for winning complex transit and city safety deals, including multi-agency interoperability initiatives and PPP-funded deployments that required elected-official engagement, lobbying support, and navigation of nonstandard government procurement dynamics.”

“AI/LLM practitioner who has deployed production chatbots across e-commerce, HRMS, and real estate, focusing on retrieval-first workflows for factual tasks like product and property search. Optimized intent understanding and significantly improved latency by using lightweight embeddings and tuning the inference pipeline on Groq (Llama 3.3), while applying modular orchestration and measurable production evaluation.”
