Vetted Django Professionals

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning serverless APIs and containerized workers (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS) plus data pipelines (Glue, S3, Athena/Redshift). Has modernized legacy SAS/cron batch systems into Python/AWS with parallel-run parity validation and low-risk cutovers, and has owned ETL incidents end-to-end (CloudWatch detection, backfills, and preventative controls). Targeting $130k–$150k base and strongly prefers remote, with occasional Bethesda onsite acceptable.”

“Backend engineer who built Polyglot, a large-scale LLM code-translation benchmarking framework, orchestrating translation/compilation/testing with Pytest and storing traceable results for 100,000+ translations. Also built TestForge with FastAPI + LangChain/Ollama and scaled high-throughput evaluation using Celery + Redis, cutting processing time by over 50% through parallelism and batching.”

“Backend/LLM engineer who ships production internal tooling end-to-end: automated data-request processing with monitoring-driven improvements (better error diagnostics and lower latency via query/index tuning). Also built a RAG-based internal Q&A system over company docs and operational logs with guardrails (similarity thresholds, fallbacks, response limits) and an eval loop using real user queries and human review to drive prompt/retrieval changes.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned an enterprise Django REST + PostgreSQL reporting backend and built Python ETL pipelines to normalize 3M+ legacy customer records, improving data reliability by 85%. Strong Kubernetes/GitOps practitioner (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with real-world production debugging experience, plus Kafka streaming at 5M events/day and a zero-downtime monolith-to-event-driven microservices migration on AWS that cut infra costs by 42%.”

“Full-stack product engineer who has shipped customer-facing features end-to-end, including a product detail page backed by Java/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript UI. Demonstrated measurable impact through performance and maintainability improvements (30% faster APIs, 25% less duplicated UI code, 40% reduced API complexity via GraphQL) and has operated/scaled apps on AWS with CI/CD, monitoring, and incident-driven scaling fixes.”
