Vetted Elasticsearch Professionals

“Entrepreneur building an AI-enabled platform to help tradespeople (e.g., plumbers/carpenters) find customers, currently moving from ideation toward MVP and user launch. Previously founded Votimo (2012), an early philanthropy/donation-transparency platform, raised ~ $2M in angel funding, and implemented the system before strategic drift from leadership/vision changes.”

“Data/ML backend engineer with hands-on production experience spanning RAG services (LlamaIndex/OpenAI) and AWS data platforms. Has delivered Terraform-managed AWS architectures (Lambda + ECS Fargate) with secure secrets handling, built Glue-to-Redshift ETL with schema evolution controls, modernized SAS reporting into Python microservices, and achieved major Redshift query speedups (2+ hours to under 15 minutes).”

“Robotics software engineer who has built end-to-end pipelines spanning backend/data processing through model interfaces and hardware integration. Has hands-on ROS2 experience building Python nodes and debugging real-time behavior via profiling, publish-rate tuning, and latency fixes, plus experience standardizing multi-robot communication with QoS adjustments. Uses Gazebo simulation and Docker/CI/CD to catch integration issues early and speed iteration.”

“Built and shipped open-source LLM/RAG systems, including a generative AI assistant grounded on ~30,000 scraped university web pages, improving response accuracy ~30% by moving from TF-IDF-only retrieval to a hybrid sentence-transformer approach with fallback controls. Also partnered with non-technical leadership at Securi.ai to deliver real-time predictive analytics dashboards (Elasticsearch + Jira/ServiceNow) that reduced project overhead by 18%.”

“Backend engineer with experience building microservice-based systems that integrate LLM workflows (code review suggestions, documentation generation, test scaffolding) using REST APIs, Celery/Redis, and OpenTelemetry for observability. Demonstrates hands-on database and performance optimization in PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy (bulk inserts, lock mitigation, cursor-based pagination) plus multi-tenant data isolation via tenant-aware models, middleware scoping, and schema/row-level strategies.”

“Full stack engineer in the financial/thematic investing domain who built end-to-end applications on AWS. Notably redesigned a slow portfolio analytics workflow by offloading heavy computations to scheduled AWS Lambda jobs and caching results in DynamoDB (TTL), cutting API latency from ~5 seconds to under 300ms while supporting data-heavy daily market processing.”

“Backend-heavy full-stack engineer with experience at Intuit (TurboTax Live) and Paytm payments, building and scaling Java/Spring Boot microservices for high-traffic transaction systems. Has hands-on wins improving peak-load performance using Redis/disk caching and Kafka event-driven patterns, plus React/Redux work for web app integration and strong monitoring practices with ELK.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an AI-assisted job-matching dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, keeping LLM logic server-side and improving performance via deduplication, caching/revalidation, and streaming (35% fewer duplicate LLM calls; 40% faster first render). Also has strong data/backend chops: designed Postgres models and optimized queries at million-record scale (1.8s to 120ms) and built durable AWS multi-region telemetry workflows with idempotency, retries, and monitoring.”

“Full-stack engineer at Bank of America who built and iterated a real-time transaction monitoring/fraud detection system processing 50K+ daily transactions, improving latency (25%), dashboard performance (30%), and reducing manual investigation time (40%) while meeting PCI DSS via OAuth2 and RBAC. Also built a scalable ETL pipeline for messy financial data with strong reliability/observability (ELK, retries, DLQ), boosting data integrity from 87% to 99% and sustaining 99.8% uptime.”

“Backend/LLM engineer who built a production-critical Amazon Bedrock + RAG correction and compliance layer for employee communications, integrating tightly with existing Spring Boot/AWS microservices to reduce manual review while keeping outputs explainable and auditable. Also designed an event-driven system processing 10M+ events/day (SQS/Lambda/DynamoDB/Elasticsearch) and handled on-call incidents with strong observability and reliability patterns (idempotency, retries, hotspot mitigation).”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer with primary ownership in enterprise Linux and AWS/Azure production environments (including financial systems). Built secure, repeatable CI/CD pipelines deploying containerized workloads to EKS/ECS and implemented Terraform/CloudFormation IaC with drift detection and rollback practices; lacks direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

“Software engineer intern at Nutanix who independently shipped and maintained an internal smoke-test/failure-analysis dashboard, integrating failure data from multiple upstream systems (e.g., Jira, Jenkins, CircleCI) via REST APIs. Also has prior data-science experience building Postgres-based asset management analytics with automated reporting and indexing for faster time-series retrieval.”

“Undergraduate robotics researcher who built a crowd-aware motion planning system to navigate safely and efficiently through dynamic pedestrian environments, implementing the full pipeline in ROS (move_base, global planning, SLAM/localization) and validating via 2D crowd simulation. Also brings modern software delivery experience from web apps, including Docker/Kubernetes-based cloud deployment and CI/CD with automated testing.”

“Full-stack developer who built a learning management web app end-to-end using React, Spring Boot, and MySQL, integrating APIs via Axios and validating/testing with Postman. Has experience handling data-heavy workloads (courses, quiz results) and improving performance with pagination, and is comfortable designing microservice-style endpoints with CI/CD considerations.”

“Engineer with Securonix experience deploying and operating production microservices and real-time data-processing systems at high throughput. Led AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, and customer-driven customization for a threat-report classification solution, including rule adjustments and model retraining based on live client feedback.”

“Engineering leader (player-coach) recently at Autodesk driving a major sales-motion transformation spanning account hierarchy, commissions/quotas, and downstream financial/sales forecasting impacts. Led cross-functional design with enterprise architects and shipped the end-to-end release, using POCs and Anaplan what-if modeling to validate a risky hierarchy change while coordinating delivery across India/Singapore teams and instituting structured Jira-based tech debt/support tracking and automation (dbt, GitHub Copilot).”
