Vetted DevOps Professionals

“Co-founded a Digital Loss Prevention (DLP) startup and raised $6M in seed funding by showcasing a controlled, laptop-based technology demo. Post-funding, drove MVP planning and execution by sequencing operations and assembling a team to build an appliance MVP, using an iterative build/evaluate/visualize approach.”

“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.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built an internal wiki LLM chatbot end-to-end using FastAPI, Kubernetes, and ChromaDB vector search, including frontend integration. Also has strong DevOps/migration experience—automating large work-item and repo migrations (Jira/FogBugz/ADO on-prem to cloud) via Python scripts, JSON mappings, REST APIs, and validation test suites.”

“Engineering/technology leader with experience at GE, Owl Cyber Defense, and Team Cymru, focused on translating VOC and business strategy into iterative product/technology roadmaps. Led delivery of a Continuous Threat Exposure Management/asset discovery capability integrated with threat intel, reaching GA in ~2 quarters and generating ~$300K in pre-GA orders. Has scaled engineering organizations significantly (to ~100 FTE) and driven big-data security architectures using Kafka and ClickHouse with data-driven cost/performance tradeoffs.”

“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 (~3 years) with eBay production experience building and operating high-scale, event-driven Python microservices for order processing and AI-powered recommendations (Kafka/Redis/FastAPI on AWS with Prometheus/Grafana). Also delivered polished React+TypeScript analytics dashboards and designed high-concurrency PostgreSQL schemas with significant latency reductions. Recently built AI-agent orchestration and an interactive node-based requirements dashboard for Siemens Polarion via MCP servers, improving user interaction by ~17.8%+.”

“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.”

“Transformation leader brought into Barracuda Networks to orchestrate a founder-level shift from legacy software to SaaS across 14 product lines. Drove a metrics- and operating-margin-focused, multi-cloud (AWS/Azure/private cloud for DR) execution plan while aligning engineering, GTM, finance (subscription accounting), and support—contributing to nearly doubling revenue over ~4 years.”

“Software engineer with experience at PayPal and JPMC building large-scale onboarding/account setup systems using React/TypeScript with Spring Boot/Node microservices and Kafka. Also built an Ignition-based SCADA monitoring tool at Mainspring Energy that became the default for manufacturing/test engineers by aggregating real-time telemetry and historical test data.”

“Python/ML engineer with strong DevOps depth: built an end-to-end regime-aware stock prediction system (custom fine-tuned FinBERT sentiment + technical/macro features) delivering a 12% accuracy lift. Also implemented Kubernetes/Helm + Jenkins/GitHub Actions pipelines (including GitOps-style workflows for multi-cloud Hyperledger Besu) and improved deployment speed/stability by ~50% while addressing race conditions and image drift.”

“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.”

“Engineering leader who drove the conception, PRD, architecture, and delivery of MaxCDN’s next-generation CDN platform ("E2"), including control plane work, hardware deployment planning, and observability/billing data processing. Also built Krypton Labs’ engineering team from the first hires, using a flat Agile structure and emphasizing constructive conflict, strong documentation, and remote-team accountability.”
