Vetted Datadog Professionals

“Data engineer in financial services (Northern Trust) who has worked across ingestion, transformation, data quality, orchestration, and serving on AWS (S3/Glue/EMR) with Airflow. Highlights include processing ~15M transactions with validation/anomaly detection for regulatory reporting and improving Snowflake query performance by 27% for risk/compliance reporting. Also built a personal real-time streaming service (FastAPI, Kafka, Redis, Cassandra) and uses production reliability patterns like blue-green/atomic swaps and robust retry strategies.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and Mortgage systems

Auburn Hills, MI3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with deep AWS serverless and reliability experience in fintech/underwriting systems, including eligibility scoring and dynamic rule deployments. Built and productionized an LLM-powered incident RCA assistant (Bedrock Claude 3 + custom RAG + React) achieving 92% precision and ~75% MTTR reduction, with mature guardrails (evals, drift monitoring, HITL, audit logs) and strong operational rigor (canaries, chaos testing, DLQ remediation).”

“Candidate has hands-on experience at Cognizant building production-grade automation and integration solutions across Python ML services, Java microservices, Kafka, and Selenium-based UI testing. They stand out for a strong reliability mindset—covering failure modes, observability, flaky test hardening, and translating ambiguous payment-system business processes into resilient end-to-end automated workflows.”

“Full-stack engineer with payments/settlement domain experience who modernized a payment tracking workflow from REST to GraphQL and delivered a production payment status dashboard using Next.js App Router + TypeScript. Strong in performance and reliability work (Postgres indexing/Explain Analyze, Redis caching, Datadog observability) and in durable event-driven processing with Kafka (DLQs, idempotency, reconciliation, event replay).”

“Implementation and AI workflow engineer who has owned customer deployments end-to-end for messaging/integration platforms and also built production-oriented LLM systems. Stands out for combining stakeholder-facing delivery leadership with hands-on experience in Kafka/MongoDB integrations, RAG/agent architectures, and resilient document-processing pipelines with strong validation and fallback controls.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned a near-real-time patient feedback ingestion system, building a FastAPI + Kafka service with Snowflake/Airflow orchestration. Demonstrates strong production Kubernetes/GitOps practices on AWS EKS (Helm, Argo CD, Sealed Secrets) and solved real-time data integrity issues via idempotent processing with Redis.”
