Vetted Event-Driven Architecture Professionals

“Python backend engineer with experience combining traditional API/microservices development and GenAI integrations, including healthcare claims workflows. Particularly compelling for teams building production AI systems: they pair hands-on work with LLMs, RAG, LangChain-style orchestration, and AWS deployment with a strong emphasis on reliability, security, and engineering discipline.”

“Built end-to-end financial workflow platforms at Citi spanning React frontends, Spring Boot microservices, Kafka, Redis, and Oracle. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can modernize legacy systems into real-time architectures—the candidate cites a 48x throughput improvement from a batch-to-Kafka modernization effort.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience building event-driven Java/Spring Boot and Kafka systems, plus AI-assisted document-classification workflows in enterprise environments. Stands out for a thoughtful, risk-aware approach to AI: uses it to accelerate delivery, but emphasizes validation layers, confidence thresholds, observability, and human review before AI can affect downstream business actions.”

“Senior engineering leader with VP-level scope who combines hands-on technical depth with large-scale org leadership. He led modernization of a legacy automotive ERP platform and architected OEM integration systems, while also scaling teams aggressively and translating enterprise customer needs into practical product and engineering plans.”

“Player-coach engineering leader currently running a Solution Architecture/FDE team responsible for both presales and postsales delivery. Stands out for combining enterprise systems thinking with hands-on AI product work: they built configurable tooling that sped delivery by ~30%, drove a Kafka-to-Pulsar architecture shift for scale, and spent the last two years building LLM-based document extraction and RAG inference pipelines shaped directly by user feedback.”

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in agentic AI, RAG, and voice systems

San Jose, CA2y exp

“Full-stack AI product engineer who has owned production-grade document intelligence and agent systems at meaningful scale, including a copilot used by 10,000+ users and 1M+ queries. Particularly strong in combining React/TypeScript product work with Python/FastAPI, RAG, knowledge graphs, observability, and performance tuning—cutting latency from ~7 seconds to 0.5 milliseconds while improving trust through citations and human review.”

“Engineering executive and former CTO with a rare blend of enterprise healthcare AI leadership and consumer AI product building for neurodiverse users. Led Adoreal’s U.S. expansion, scaled a multidisciplinary org by about 60%, modernized platform architecture with Kubernetes and CI/CD, and consistently ties engineering and AI decisions to trust, onboarding efficiency, and revenue outcomes.”

“Software engineer with Intuit experience shipping an end-to-end real-time financial insights product on AWS, using event-driven architecture with Kafka and Spark Streaming to process millions of records with low latency. Also delivers customer-facing React + TypeScript dashboards and has hands-on production operations experience, including resolving a database scaling incident via read replicas, query tuning, and connection pooling.”

“Built and owned Prism, a real-time collaborative coding platform, making key architectural choices around deterministic event ordering and a backend source-of-truth to improve trust under concurrent edits. Also created a Python-based bug analysis and test automation suite that became part of standard engineering workflow, cutting debugging time by ~95% while improving fault detection coverage.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG document automation system for business documents (contracts/claim forms) that extracts schema-validated JSON, generates grounded summaries/Q&A, and integrates into transaction systems via APIs. Emphasizes real-world reliability: hallucination controls, layout-aware parsing with OCR fallback, Step Functions-orchestrated workflows with retries/timeouts, and human-in-the-loop review designed in close partnership with operations and claims stakeholders.”

“Software engineer with deep experience in real-time payments and event-driven microservices. Built a React/TypeScript + Spring Boot system using RabbitMQ, and created an internal operations dashboard that improved visibility into message-processing workflows for engineering, support, and SRE. Strong in experimentation-driven product iteration (feature flags/A-B tests) and in scaling reliability via idempotent consumers and end-to-end observability.”

“CTO/enterprise architect who stays hands-on in code while leading strategy, stakeholder alignment, and team scaling. At Eastridge, established product and technology vision/roadmap, built product engineering/strategy functions, and helped launch products into global markets; most recently led GenAI product design including tech selection, infrastructure, scalability, and observability.”

“Full-stack engineer (backend-led) with recent experience building enterprise workflow orchestration and billing/payment platforms at Intuit using Java/Spring Boot (WebFlux), Kafka, Postgres/Redis, and React/TypeScript. Has operated at high scale (reported ~1200 RPS during month-end billing) and focuses on event-driven microservices, real-time UI updates via streaming, and disciplined API evolution with contract testing.”

“Engineering leader (Credit Karma/fintech) who built internal developer-platform frameworks at near open-source scale, including a unified key management system migrating ~450 services from on-prem HSM to a centralized KMS. Known for driving large cross-team migrations with strong safety mechanisms (canaries, shadow reads, rollback toggles) and measurable DX/ops improvements (60% fewer provisioning requests; 40% faster time-to-first-secret).”

“Engineering leader who proposed and delivered a new API-based document management platform to replace a vendor-dependent system, improving latency by ~1s and availability to 99.9% while migrating legacy data. Also drove Python-based automation of ~12 workflows via third-party API integrations and led an SSO/auth integration focused on backward compatibility and high login success rates.”

“Backend/platform engineer from Fanatics sportsbook core team with deep experience in real-time ingestion systems (Kafka) and high-throughput performance optimization.
