Vetted Database Design Professionals

“Built a demo-live LangGraph/LangSmith LLM agent that translates natural language into SQL against a self-built MLB statistics database, using a vector-store knowledge base of example queries. Focused on predictable orchestration via conditional nodes, YAML-driven behaviors, and tool-gated function calling, with testing via LangSmith and Python scripts.”

Northridge, CA5y exp

“Built and led production LLM-agent systems in enterprise environments (Simmons Bank, Mindtree), automating support ticket triage end-to-end with strong reliability engineering (99.9% uptime, Prometheus/Grafana, ECS autoscaling, CI/CD rollback). Demonstrated clear business impact (55% faster handling, SLA compliance 72%→96%, 800+ hours saved/month, +18% CSAT) and mature eval/feedback loops that improved extraction accuracy by 21%.”

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil28y exp

“Long-time Call of Duty mod/game-mode creator (Call of Duty Frontlines/Rio) who designed 40+ gametypes, including “Swarm” later released officially as MW3’s Team Defender. Known for deep tuning/balance iteration and for overcoming engine constraints (e.g., expanding limited model slots via load-time model merging to ship large amounts of new weapons/vehicles/enemies). Currently building an UE5 game (Comando Rio) on Lyra, implementing custom audio systems and camera/movement features, collaborating with Gooseman (Counter-Strike creator).”

Senior Backend/Cloud Engineer specializing in IaC, SaaS platforms, and ML/Computer Vision

Aliso Viejo, CA19y exp

“Backend/infrastructure engineer with experience across API development (FastAPI/MySQL/SQLAlchemy), Kubernetes deployments, and large-scale data processing—built a Dockerized Python pipeline to pre-aggregate ~1B Graylog events for efficient querying. Has enterprise infrastructure automation background at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Datafabric) using Terraform/Ansible with fail-fast and rollback practices, plus Kafka-based sensor streaming prototypes to Google Cloud with Java workers and autoscaling.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production Python and AWS: built FastAPI REST services and a containerized ECS Fargate + Lambda architecture deployed via Terraform/CI-CD. Strong in data engineering (Glue/S3/Parquet/RDS) and operational reliability (CloudWatch/SNS, retries, schema-evolution handling), with experience modernizing legacy SAS reporting into Python microservices using feature flags and parity validation.”

“Has worked at a startup within an incubator program and is a certified mentor with a startup mentorship non-profit focused on early-stage/pre-funded companies. Not currently seeking to found a company or take equity-only roles, but open to working at very early-stage companies (pre-launch/pre-revenue/pre-funded).”

“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.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who has built and operated event-driven microservices platforms (FastAPI/React/TypeScript, Kafka, Kubernetes) and internal DevOps tooling. Delivered measurable impact through user-feedback-driven iteration (WebSockets update mechanism cutting redundant API calls ~30%) and operational improvements (deployment monitoring dashboard reducing rollback time ~40%), with strong focus on reliability, observability, and data consistency at scale.”
