Vetted Distributed Systems Professionals

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered document Q&A system using a strict RAG pipeline (LangChain-style orchestration + FAISS) to help users query large internal document sets. Demonstrates strong reliability focus through hallucination mitigation, curated offline evaluation with grounding checks, and production monitoring (latency/fallback rates) plus stakeholder alignment via demos and business metrics.”

“Built and shipped a production Python-based agentic RAG document retrieval system over 80K records using FastAPI, OCR, vector search, and AWS infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on reliability, testing, and observability. Stands out for treating AI failures like production incidents—turning hallucinations, retrieval misses, and OCR issues into regression tests—and for quantifiably reducing document lookup time from about 12 minutes to under 90 seconds.”

“Backend engineer focused on real-time, event-driven distributed systems (Node.js/TypeScript) with strict latency and reliability requirements. Deep hands-on experience debugging concurrency issues and designing resilient workflows (idempotency, circuit breakers, compensating actions) with strong observability; familiar with ROS/ROS2 concepts and confident ramping into robotics integrations.”

“Backend engineer who rebuilt and refactored high-traffic systems at Phenom using Java/Spring Boot/Play and also designs Python/FastAPI services. Focused on measurable reliability and performance gains through DB/query optimization, async processing, and strong observability, with disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, parallel runs, rollback) and security patterns including token auth and row-level security.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-based appointment management agent, implementing RAG with Redis and LangGraph plus multi-agent intent handling and rule-based conflict guardrails to prevent double-booking under high load. Experienced in real-time diagnosis of agentic workflow failures using logs/traces and state inspection, and in driving adoption via interactive developer demos and sales-aligned custom customer scenarios.”

“Software engineer with enterprise CPQ/CRM/ERP integration experience (Argano) who owned an end-to-end pricing preview capability deployed on AWS Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and full observability (Prometheus/Grafana). Also built an AI-native research agent using LangChain + Chroma to filter academic papers, reporting ~15 hours/week saved for a professor.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer with experience building customer-facing contact-center automation (agent assignment) and internal editorial/data operations APIs for life-sciences ontology management. Strong in microservices and event-driven systems (Spring Boot + Kafka), third-party integrations (Genesys/Five9), and pragmatic iteration via MVP scoping, tight stakeholder demos, and observability-focused reliability.”

Executive Technology Leader specializing in distributed systems and multi-cloud infrastructure

Denver, Colorado, United States9y exp

“Early-stage builder who blends deep technical product work with go-to-market execution: created developer-focused platform tooling (Rust/Node/React) and at Harper moved from customer success into sales/partnerships, leading an Akamai partnership that ultimately helped close Walmart. Currently building a distributed application platform in Rust and iterating on macro-based abstractions to make Rust feel as approachable as Node.js; has not yet closed a seed round and is seeking a trusted operator counterpart.”

FL, USA5y exp

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience modernizing a real-time logistics/tracking platform from a tightly coupled polling architecture to a service-oriented/microservices design using Node.js and WebSockets. Emphasizes contract-first FastAPI development, defense-in-depth security (JWT/OAuth, RLS/Supabase), and safe incremental migrations with feature flags and strong observability, delivering sub-second updates and improved performance under peak load.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in web platforms and cloud-based systems

Boulder, CO1y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on document extraction experience: built an end-to-end handwritten OCR pipeline using OpenCV + EasyOCR with spellcheck post-processing and a Tkinter-based manual correction workflow. Also brings practical distributed-systems and e-commerce reliability experience (REST orchestration, retries, logging, Stripe idempotency), and is candid about not yet shipping LLM agents to production.”

“Backend engineer who built a production retrieval-augmented narrative analysis platform for 100-page screenplays using a Node/Express orchestrator and a Python/FastAPI AI engine, including a key redesign from disk-based uploads to in-memory streaming to eliminate Windows file-lock failures. Also led a refactor of a municipal vehicle tracking system into a C-based distributed engine handling 4M+ daily packets with 99.99% data integrity and automation that reduced manual ops by 50%.”
