Vetted GitOps Professionals

“At Unar Labs, built and operationalized LLM capabilities inside a cloud-native SaaS product, emphasizing production reliability (fallbacks, observability, cost/latency/quality monitoring) and iterative improvement from user feedback. Also acts as a customer-facing technical lead—running developer demos/workshops and supporting sales through discovery, pilots/POCs, and technical walkthroughs to drive production adoption.”

“Paid media performance marketer managing $50K+/month spend across Meta and Google for eCommerce and lead-gen, with a strong creative-testing orientation (UGC/video vs static) that produced ~25–30% lower CPA and ~35% higher ROAS when scaled. Builds full-funnel systems across Meta/TikTok (demand gen) and Google Search/PMax (high-intent capture), using marginal ROAS/CPA, frequency-based fatigue signals, and statistically grounded testing to scale or cut campaigns.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who built core systems for an AI beauty-advice product: converting facial-recognition landmarks into usable facial measurements and dynamically shaping chatbot context for personalized guidance. Also worked on high-volume data ingestion at AINVESTgroup, improving agent context selection via a RAG database when upstream tags were unreliable, and has strong Git/GitOps + automated testing practices from rapid-deadline delivery environments.”

“Python backend engineer (BetterWorld Technology) who owns microservice systems end-to-end on Azure, including Kubernetes deployments, CI/CD, and production monitoring/alerting. Has hands-on experience integrating SQL/NoSQL (including Cosmos DB with vector search/graph workflow) and has built a Kafka + Spark Streaming pipeline to Snowflake with a reported 40% latency reduction.”

“DevOps engineer (State Farm) with hands-on ownership of Python backend services and data pipelines, deploying microservices and workers on Kubernetes using GitOps (Argo CD). Has led complex cloud-to-on-prem/hybrid migrations with staged cutovers and rollback planning, and built Kafka-based real-time streaming pipelines with schema governance, autoscaling, and strong observability.”

“Backend/cloud engineer with hands-on ownership of a climate data extraction pipeline (BeautifulSoup + Pandas ETL + CRON) that automated 50k+ monthly data points and removed ~20 hours/week of manual work. Also built a multi-AZ Kubernetes deployment for a Node.js system using Terraform and GitHub Actions (blue-green, rollbacks) and has Kafka/FastAPI experience from a healthcare plan management project.”

“Backend Python engineer who has built an LLM agentic tutoring/assignment helper with a custom pipeline for parsing visually complex textbooks (integrating AlibabaResearch VGT and implementing missing preprocessing from the paper), improving RAG grounding with ~90% cleaner extracted text. Also led major platform scaling work by refactoring monolithic image processing into Celery-based async microservices on AWS (GPU/CUDA + S3), and implemented Kafka streaming for payment webhooks with strict ordering, idempotency, and multi-zone fault tolerance.”

“Full-stack intern at Rebel who owned backend work on a cross-platform music platform using Python/Django with MongoDB, implementing user-focused REST APIs end-to-end. Also built CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions) to containerize and deploy to AWS, and has experience integrating Kafka-based real-time event processing with reliability and observability practices.”

“Backend engineer experienced in evolving high-scale legacy on-prem systems into cloud-native, event-driven microservices on AWS/Kubernetes (noted peak traffic ~1.5M QPS). Strong focus on reliability engineering and operational excellence—SLO-driven observability, GitOps/canary rollouts, chaos testing, and preventing cascading failures (e.g., retry-storm mitigation).”

“Built and owned a Python/FastAPI backend for a custom translation service used in a showroom application, integrating DynamoDB and connecting the service to a SPA/Next.js frontend. Has exposure to Kubernetes-based deployments and GitHub Actions CI/CD, and contributed to planning an on-prem to cloud/SaaS migration at Sherwin-Williams by gathering requirements across multiple plants/factories.”

“Backend Python engineer with end-to-end ownership of secure financial data systems integrating banking/credit/payment platforms, including automated ingestion and reconciliation of large financial statements. Built modular Dockerized Django REST services with pandas-driven validation/normalization and Postgres/Mongo persistence, and supported a phased migration from legacy VM services to AWS containers with stateless refactors and parallel-run integrity checks (run IDs/checksums). Works closely with platform teams on GitOps/CI readiness and deployment coordination (e.g., ArgoCD-managed sync policies).”

“Backend/Python engineer focused on real-time sensor/IoT analytics: built dashboards and a high-throughput ingestion pipeline (MQTT -> Python worker -> TimescaleDB) with buffering, batch inserts, and validation. Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner (Dockerized microservices, HPA, probes, ArgoCD) who has handled production incidents like CrashLoopBackOff under peak load and supported an on-prem analytics migration to AWS using shadow traffic and rollback plans.”

“Backend/infra-focused engineer who owned production systems for distributed ML experimentation (hyperparameter tuning across a cluster with GPU scaling, custom scheduling, and checkpoint-based fault tolerance). Also built and operated a low-latency log validation service using queued async workflows with idempotency, retries/backoff, and strong observability, plus experience building resilient Selenium-based browser automations for complex multi-step web flows.”
