Vetted Event-Driven Architecture Professionals

“Full-stack engineer (T-Mobile experience) focused on authentication/session-management systems, with hands-on work optimizing token-validation flows and reducing latency by eliminating redundant API calls and adding caching. Brings strong production ownership with observability (Splunk/Grafana), Postgres data modeling/index tuning, and resilient async workflow design (idempotency, retries/backoff, queues).”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of Python/Flask microservices and recommendation systems across edtech and telecom. Deployed and operated real-time personalization/recommendation platforms on AWS EKS with Jenkins-based CI/CD, GitOps-style declarative configs, and strong observability practices. Has migration experience moving legacy mixed environments to modern containerized Kubernetes and built Kafka pipelines feeding ML services while managing schema evolution.”

“Backend/data platform engineer with production experience at Walmart and Molina Healthcare, building Python microservices on AWS (EKS + Lambda) for real-time inventory and recommendation systems. Strong in reliability/observability and incident leadership, plus modernizing legacy healthcare workflows and building resilient AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines with schema evolution and data quality controls.”

“Worked on onboarding a Middle East logistics client processing thousands of invoices/month, building a production-ready pipeline that routes known vendor PDFs to deterministic regex parsers via Tax ID matching and falls back to LlamaParse for unknown layouts. Added financial consistency validation plus human-in-the-loop review and logging/metrics to continuously reduce LLM usage and improve template coverage.”

“Full-stack engineer who has owned customer-facing AI recommendation and analytics dashboards end-to-end (backend APIs/data processing through React UI, deployment, and monitoring). Demonstrates strong systems thinking around scaling microservices—using observability, caching, async workflows, and resilience patterns—and also built an internal ops dashboard that became the default tool for on-call incident reviews.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps-focused engineer working across Linux-based enterprise platforms that include IBM Power/AIX in a broader OpenShift/Kubernetes and cloud ecosystem. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD for containerized deployments and resolved a production deployment failure by tracing ImagePullBackOff to outdated registry credentials in Kubernetes secrets. Uses Terraform (with modular structure) plus Ansible to provision and standardize production environments with pipeline-based validation.”

“Backend-focused engineer building customer support/order-tracking platforms with Java 17/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript frontend. Deep experience running event-driven systems on Kubernetes (Kafka, Redis, MySQL) with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Splunk), SLOs, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, canaries). Also built an internal monitoring/debugging dashboard that consolidated metrics and logs for on-call engineers and was adopted by other teams to speed incident response.”

“Amazon engineer with a blend of backend platform and applied AI experience, spanning Kafka/Spring Boot/Django financial workflows and internal LLM-powered RAG systems for reconciliation investigations. Stands out for owning deployments end-to-end, improving reliability in high-volume transaction processing, and adding practical guardrails like confidence checks and human review to production AI workflows.”

“Robotics software engineer who built the full control stack for a fleet of manufacturing/repair robots in Relativity Space R&D (perception, planning, motion control, integration, deployment). Has ROS/ROS 2 experience spanning custom SLAM (LiDAR+IMU), multi-robot coordination, and multi-drone control (Pixhawk 4, minimum-snap trajectories), with strong real-world debugging and simulation/CI testing practices (Gazebo, CI/CD, some Docker).”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned high-volume Java/Spring Boot microservices on AWS (Kafka + RDS/DynamoDB) and has hands-on experience debugging complex production latency incidents across DB, JVM/GC, and async consumers. Also shipped applied AI features for ops, including an LLM-powered log analysis assistant and an incident-response agent with strong safety guardrails (schema-validated tool use, retries/backoff, and human-in-the-loop escalation).”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and scalable microservices

Texas, USA5y exp

“Backend/platform engineer focused on high-traffic financial systems, owning real-time event-driven ingestion and Kafka streaming pipelines using Python/FastAPI, Avro schemas, and AWS services. Has hands-on Kubernetes (EKS) and GitOps/CI-CD experience (ArgoCD/Jenkins) and supported large-scale migrations from legacy VMs to containerized microservices with zero/low-downtime cutovers.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and backend infrastructure

Beijing, China0y exp

“Backend engineer with deep experience building event-driven logistics systems (orders, warehouse execution, real-time delivery tracking) using Spring Boot/PostgreSQL/Redis and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana). Led a zero-downtime migration from monolithic MySQL to a sharded architecture for ~2M users with dual-write, checksum validation, and fast auto-rollback, and has strong security expertise including PostgreSQL RLS for multi-tenant SaaS and robust OAuth/JWT handling.”

“Engineering leader with BCG consulting background who has built roadmaps and scaled AI and data platforms for pharma and manufacturing clients. Led architecture shifts (Django monolith to event-driven microservices) for high-volume IoT SaaS products, improving deployment speed and enabling zero-downtime releases. Also established a near-shore engineering team in São Paulo and has managed distributed teams across multiple countries, leveraging strong stakeholder communication and a prior professional acting background for storytelling.”

“Applied LLMs and a graph-RAG architecture in Neo4j to automate an accounting firm's cross-checking of transactional books against tax regulations, indexing 1,000+ pages into a knowledge graph with vector search. Combines agentic LLM workflows with classical NER (Hugging Face/NLTK) and validates using expert-labeled held-out data plus precision/recall and measured accountant time savings after deployment.”

“20-year technology builder with ~8 years in healthcare AI, currently at Keycentrix modernizing a legacy pharmacy solutions business. Shipped an OCR MVP within days and delivered a rebate-based product generating ~$50K/month, leveraging Claude/LangGraph agentic automation to replace work typically requiring a much larger engineering team. Developing a "Longevity AI Copilot" B2B platform that synthesizes research, labs, and wearable data into personalized longevity protocols for HNW and corporate wellness markets; concept validated but not yet incorporated or funded.”

“Interned at Paycom and shipped a productionized ML/AI system that automatically regenerates XPath selectors to self-heal Selenium UI tests when the DOM changes. The pipeline handled 1,000+ failing tests/hour with ~90–95% auto-fix accuracy, using confidence thresholds, human-in-the-loop fallbacks, logging/dashboards, and retraining loops to manage distribution shift and maintain reliability.”

Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in platform modernization and AI integration

Burbank, CA15y exp

“Engineering leader from Blackline who has repeatedly rescued and delivered high-visibility products by resetting roadmaps, tightening execution (better specs/estimation), and accelerating team velocity. Scaled a distributed org from ~20 to ~40 engineers by building a new India team with strong hiring rubrics and governance-as-code/SDLC consistency. Also modernized legacy systems into microservices (Kafka/Kubernetes/Apigee) and drove hackathon-to-production innovation using Google Vertex AI.”

“Data engineer who has owned end-to-end production pipelines ingesting ~500GB/day from APIs/databases/Kafka into an S3 data lake (Glue/Spark) with Airflow-orchestrated Great Expectations quality gates. Built resilient external data collection systems with idempotent jobs, exponential-backoff retries, raw data capture, and backfills; also shipped Snowflake-backed APIs with caching, versioned endpoints, and backward-compatible data contracts. Led an early-stage Azure data platform build with phased delivery and GitHub Actions CI/CD, resolving schema-mismatch incidents quickly without downstream corruption.”
