Vetted GitLab Professionals

“AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer focused on production Linux environments, building secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub) to deploy Dockerized services to AWS ECS and automating infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation. Strong in operational troubleshooting and scaling (CloudWatch-driven performance remediation, Auto Scaling/ELB, multi-AZ HA patterns), but explicitly does not have IBM Power/AIX or PowerHA/HACMP experience.”

“Unity VR developer with long-standing experience shipping on the Oculus/Meta Quest ecosystem (dating back to before the Facebook acquisition). Recently drove a high-stakes OpenXR migration for a live service app using release branches, QA, feature flags, and staged rollouts. On Border Bots VR, owned the robot character editor and major performance work, including a manual scene optimizer to reduce overdraw and enable higher-fidelity set pieces.”

“Data engineer with ~4 years of experience building Python-based data ingestion/processing services and real-time streaming pipelines (Kafka/PubSub + Spark Structured Streaming). Has deployed containerized data applications on Kubernetes with GitLab CI/Jenkins pipelines and applied GitOps to cut deployment time ~40% while reducing config drift. Also supported a legacy on-prem data warehouse/backend migration to GCP using phased migration and parallel validation to meet strict reliability/SLA needs.”

“Backend engineer who owned and shipped a campaign analytics API (FastAPI/Postgres/Redis/Celery) with ingestion from Instagram/YouTube, JWT auth, tests, and Docker deployment; improved performance from >1s to <150ms using precomputed aggregates and composite indexes. Experienced with Kubernetes GitOps using GitHub Actions + ArgoCD (zero-downtime rollouts, one-click rollbacks), Prometheus/Grafana observability, hybrid cloud-to-on-prem migrations, and real-time notification streaming via Redis Pub/Sub + WebSockets.”
