GTA, Canada7y exp

“Frontend engineer who launched Emoot (app.emoot.io) end-to-end and recently shipped the "My Savings Goal" feature from UI through production. Emphasizes scalable React + TypeScript architecture (Storybook-driven component library, strict typing, performance profiling/memoization) and pragmatic delivery in tight timelines by reusing existing components/logic and iterating screen-by-screen.”

Mid-level DevOps Engineer specializing in AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation

Dallas, TX7y exp

“DevOps/cloud infrastructure engineer focused on AWS automation: built GitHub Actions/Jenkins pipelines for containerized deployments with strong security controls and rollback, and implemented Terraform-based AWS provisioning with modular code and remote state/locking. Has led on-prem to AWS migration cutovers with structured risk/rollback planning and stabilization, but has not worked directly with IBM Power/AIX/LPARs or PowerHA/HACMP.”

“Full-stack engineer with startup-style ownership experience, working across UI, backend APIs, databases, and production support. He has contributed to business-critical B2B SaaS platforms including inventory/back-office software for large brands and a GST-compliant e-invoicing system designed for high-volume processing and operational reliability.”

“Application security engineer/advisor with hands-on experience securing AWS-based, containerized services and embedding SAST/DAST/SCA and container scanning into GitHub/GitLab CI/CD. Drove measurable outcomes (50% faster vuln triage, 40% fewer misconfigs) and has deep operational troubleshooting experience in Kubernetes (agent failures due to CPU throttling/network policies), plus pragmatic strategies to reduce developer friction and handle API rate limits.”

“QA automation engineer who owned an end-to-end Selenium/Java suite redesign (POM + REST Assured + Jenkins), boosting coverage from ~30% to ~70% and shrinking regression from days to hours. Known for fast, high-signal debugging and bug reports (API traces/logs, token/session expiry evidence) and for catching high-impact issues like intermittent payment failures and authentication/session defects before production.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered document processing agent (ingestion→OCR→LLM extraction/classification→validation→DB/workflow triggers) using Kafka and PostgreSQL. Emphasizes production reliability with strict JSON schemas, idempotent services, retries/backoff, fallback models, and human-in-the-loop review—driving ~90% automation, minutes-to-seconds processing, and ~10x throughput.”

“Backend ERP developer specializing in Odoo (Python MVC) with hands-on experience integrating ERP workflows with external SQL databases and handling cloud deployment compatibility issues. Led a migration of ~40 years of legacy data into a modern ERP using scripted transforms and unique identifiers to preserve data integrity, and has experience implementing role-based permissions and preventing failure modes in SQL status update flows.”
