Vetted Distributed Tracing Professionals

“Backend/data engineer with experience on large-scale consumer platforms (Google and Meta), building high-traffic Python microservices (REST/gRPC) on Kubernetes with strong reliability/observability practices. Delivered AWS container-based deployments with CI/CD and IaC, and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines on S3 with schema evolution and data quality controls; also has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (15% latency reduction) and incident ownership for batch pipelines.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned large-scale Power9/AIX 7.x estates across primary/DR (VIOS/HMC/vHMC) and has deep hands-on experience with DLPAR, shared processor pool governance, and PowerHA recovery. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC capability—built Azure DevOps/GitHub CI/CD for Terraform + Kubernetes/Helm with strong security controls and resolved a production Terraform state-lock failure by redesigning backend locking and pipeline concurrency.”

“Software engineering intern who built an internal AI-agent automation using the Gemini API to reduce manual CRM data entry, iterating prompts closely with analysts to address precision concerns. Also worked on a medical image-diagnostics LLM project involving fine-tuning and benchmarking multiple model approaches, and has quant/sales-trading experience building automated pricers for complex options and persuading sales teams to adopt them with ROI-focused metrics.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across GCP (FastAPI microservices on Kubernetes) and AWS (Lambda, ECS Fargate, Glue). Has modernized legacy SAS batch systems into Python services with parallel-run parity validation, and has strong operational rigor in ETL reliability/monitoring plus proven SQL tuning impact (25s to <300ms, ~60% CPU reduction).”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered medical scribe that generates structured clinical visit summaries using RAG, strict JSON schemas, and post-generation validation to reduce hallucinations. Experienced in making LLM workflows deterministic and observable (structured logging/metrics/tracing) and in evaluation-driven iteration with metrics like schema pass rate and edit rate; collaborated closely with clinicians and policy stakeholders at Scale AI to drive adoption.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built a production GPU-backed real-time inference API at Nvidia and debugged burst-induced tail latency, cutting P95 by ~29% through dynamic batching and backpressure. Also shipped an end-to-end RAG + agentic operational diagnostics assistant with strict tool controls, evidence citation, confidence gating, and strong production guardrails, plus demonstrated hands-on Postgres optimization (900ms to 40–60ms).”
