Vetted Docker Professionals

“DevOps/SRE focused on cloud-based distributed systems, with strong hands-on Kubernetes production experience (microservices deployments, Helm, probes, resource tuning, CI/CD and Docker build standardization). Demonstrated end-to-end troubleshooting across application, infrastructure, and networking layers—e.g., isolating degraded storage via node disk I/O metrics and restoring performance by draining the node and replacing the volume. Builds Python automation for operational reliability, including scheduled Kubernetes secrets rotation integrated with an external secret manager.”

“Robotics software candidate with hands-on experience building controllers for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, including dual-PID control in Python with state-space modeling and a planned path to LQR. Developed ROS nodes for odometry-based localization, waypoint planning, and control command publishing, validated through a custom Gazebo/ROS simulation workflow with control-metric-driven testing. Also worked on F1Tenth simulation and scan-matching localization (PL-ICP), with additional cloud deployment experience using Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD.”

“Entrepreneurially minded builder focused on proving architecture concepts via minimal demo prototypes for marketing. Has hands-on experience improving an A/B experimentation framework by interviewing stakeholders, identifying system limits and bottlenecks, and defining success criteria to scale experimentation and speed up analysis.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who built an internal real-time operations dashboard from 0→1 using React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, Material UI, and Node.js integrations. Stands out for hands-on performance tuning at scale—profiling and fixing excessive re-renders, optimizing live-update UIs, and iterating post-launch with caching, pagination, and observability.”

“Fintech and AI product engineer who has owned major production rollouts, including Lending Club's banking-arm launch, and has since built LLM-powered decision systems for finance and climate use cases. Particularly strong in combining stakeholder management with pragmatic architecture choices like observability, deterministic pipeline design, RAG, and document-to-structured-data workflows.”

“Robotics/embedded engineer with hands-on experience building real-time control systems on RP2040 (hydroponics automation, 1-DOF helicopter stabilization) and full ROS 2 navigation stacks in simulation (URDF, TF, PID, A* in RViz/Gazebo). Demonstrates strong low-level protocol work (timing-sensitive one-wire in C) and rigorous debugging across hardware and software using UART instrumentation and oscilloscope verification, plus reproducible workflows with Docker and CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab, incl. Sandia National Labs).”

“Backend/data engineer with healthcare/telehealth domain experience, building patient appointment and data-processing systems on AWS. Has delivered production microservices and ETL pipelines (Flask/Celery, Glue/PySpark) with strong reliability/observability practices (JWT, retries/timeouts, Sentry/CloudWatch) and modernization experience migrating SAS workflows to Python services, including a documented 10min→30sec SQL performance win.”

“JavaScript/TypeScript engineer from Ridgeline who built a retry feature for failed staging-to-production promotions with pre-promotion health checks. Brings a backend-scaling mindset to runtime performance work (metrics-first bottlenecking, Big-O analysis, async/parallelism, caching) and leverages Cursor/AI tooling to ramp quickly on large codebases.”

“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).”

“Amazon Robotics engineer who deployed and scaled the Lumos camera-based package scanning work cell across EU sort centers (100+ work cells in 5+ sites), enabling remote launches via detailed runbooks and troubleshooting. Strong in AWS IoT/edge systems, with hands-on incident recovery (restored 34 down work cells) and secure multi-compute certificate provisioning using IoT Jobs, ACM/CA, and custom roles; delivered ~75% per-cell cost reduction vs Cognex-based approach.”

Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in FinTech, IAM, and AI/ML platforms

SF Bay Area, CA22y exp

“Player-coach backend leader at PostLo who led a major backend architecture upgrade to enable AI-driven features by separating transactional systems from AI workloads (vector embeddings/image validation) and adding async processing for heavy jobs. Also owned production reliability improvements (query/index optimization, workload isolation, monitoring and load testing) and translated an ambiguous retention goal into a shipped cashback rewards feature with auditable transactions.”
