Vetted GitLab CI Professionals

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI services on AWS and implementing strong reliability/observability (CloudWatch, ELK, correlation IDs, alarms). Has delivered serverless + container solutions with IaC (CloudFormation/Terraform) and Jenkins CI/CD, and built AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution and data-quality safeguards; demonstrated large-scale SQL tuning (45 min to 3 min on a 500M-row workload).”

“Backend/data engineer from Oliver Wyman who built and ran production Python (FastAPI) services on AWS (ECS/Lambda/API Gateway) supporting risk modeling and regulatory reporting. Strong in reliability/observability, Glue-based ETL with data quality controls, and legacy SAS-to-Python modernization with rigorous parity validation; also demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins and cost-control improvements in serverless scaling. Based in Raleigh, NC and can travel onsite for important Bethesda-area meetings.”

“Robotics software engineer who built and owned core navigation components for a TurtleBot in ROS/ROS2 and Gazebo, including an RRT-based planner, waypoint-to-velocity motion planning, and PID trajectory tracking. Demonstrates strong real-time debugging skills (control-loop timing under CPU load), costmap/occupancy-grid tuning, and distributed ROS2 communication design using DDS/QoS, plus Docker and CI/CD automation experience from Keysight.”

“Cloud infrastructure/SRE-style engineer with experience at TCS and ServiceNow focused on IBM Cloud and Linux/RHEL operations, security hardening, and automation in Python. Has led end-to-end production incident response (certificate expiry) and implemented preventive alerting adopted by 20+ teams, plus built Jenkins CI/CD with Vault-based secrets and Terraform-based AWS provisioning.”

“iOS player-coach who led end-to-end development of real-time customer support chat and unified notification systems for T-Mobile’s iOS app using SwiftUI, Firebase, WebSockets, and Core Data (including offline handling). Drove measurable reliability/latency gains (~30%) through a major notification refactor and owned a high-severity push-notification incident from rollback through RCA and backward-compatible hotfix, while also scaling team process and people management.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience at T-Mobile, Cisco, and Bharti Airtel, owning production plan upgrade/billing flows end-to-end from React/TypeScript UI through Spring Boot services to Docker/Jenkins/Kubernetes deployments. Demonstrated reliability and performance wins by migrating synchronous service calls to Kafka-based async processing with circuit breakers and by tuning Postgres queries/connection pools, achieving a reported 25% API response-time improvement and faster incident resolution via improved observability.”

“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 shipped a production LLM-powered personalized client engagement assistant in the financial domain, balancing real-time recommendations with strict privacy/compliance requirements. Demonstrates strong MLOps/LLMOps depth (Airflow + MLflow, containerized microservices, drift monitoring) and a privacy-by-design approach validated in collaboration with risk and compliance teams.”

“Software engineer in the mortgage/financial services domain (Freddie Mac) who builds end-to-end loan origination and credit risk capabilities using Spring Boot microservices, Angular dashboards, and data pipelines. Delivered measurable impact (30% reduction in underwriting turnaround time) and emphasizes production reliability/compliance with strong guardrails, observability, and evaluation loops for risk scoring systems.”

“AIX/IBM Power Systems engineer with hands-on production incident leadership in a regulated banking environment, using deep OS-level tooling to diagnose CPU entitlement and memory pressure issues. Experienced with HMC/vHMC, VIOS, and zero-downtime DLPAR resizing, plus PowerHA/HACMP clustering and validated failover testing. Also drives migration readiness via Bash/Python automation (60% manual-effort reduction) and phased AIX cloud/hybrid cutovers.”

“Consulting-background AI practitioner who led a production LLM pipeline on Snowflake Cortex to map hundreds of thousands of messy OCR/form-based contract fields into standardized Salesforce fields, including confidence scoring and an LLM-driven feedback loop. Strong focus on real-world constraints—token limits, cost control, and evaluation without ground truth—paired with frequent stakeholder-facing progress reporting.”

“Software engineer working on an e-commerce platform, currently building a RAG-based recommendation system with a team new to the technology. Has delivered an end-to-end React/TypeScript website for a local car dealer and built an internal "encryption as a service" tool to secure sensitive data across repositories and through release/UAT, with experience debugging microservices integration issues.”
