Vetted GitOps Professionals

“Backend engineer with Tesla experience building Python-based, serverless microservices for a supply chain portal, including a MongoDB-backed tracking/logging system and a reconciler Lambda to manage retries and failures. Has hands-on Kubernetes (EKS) and GitOps (Argo CD) experience, plus real-time Kafka pipelines for fleet/IoT telemetry and proxy-based migrations from monolith systems to AWS databases.”

“Backend/platform engineer with hands-on ownership of Python services (Postgres/Redis/Celery) and measurable performance gains (~20–25%). Strong Kubernetes + ArgoCD GitOps experience delivering zero-downtime rollouts, plus led key reliability fixes (readiness probes, immutable tagging) and supported an on-prem to AWS migration using CDC replication and ALB traffic shifting; also built Kafka real-time analytics pipelines with schema registry.”

“Backend engineer with healthcare platform experience at Thirty Madison, combining Django for secure, data-heavy core services with FastAPI async microservices for real-time patient monitoring. Led Kubernetes migration with Istio service mesh, autoscaling (HPA), and stateful storage patterns, and implemented GitOps CI/CD using ArgoCD. Also built real-time Kafka streaming pipelines with reliability patterns like idempotent producers and offset management.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Walmart and HealthSnap building Python services and data pipelines on AWS (EKS, Lambda, Glue, Airflow). Strong reliability and operations focus—implemented idempotency + circuit breakers for peak-traffic consistency issues, GitOps CI/CD, and observability. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (Postgres p95 45s to <5s, ~60% CPU reduction) and modernized SAS batch workflows to Python with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flagged rollout.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer (5+ years) with Shopify experience integrating LLM/RAG workflows into production APIs. Owned a Python TensorFlow Serving inference pipeline connected to Java microservices via gRPC, optimizing tail latency at ~10k concurrent load and improving retrieval relevance with embedding and evaluation work. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + GitOps/CI/CD background, including monolith-to-microservices migrations and event-driven streaming patterns.”

“Infrastructure/operations engineer with hands-on IBM Power/AIX administration (LPAR/DLPAR, HMC, RMC) and PowerHA cluster failover experience, plus modern DevOps tooling across CI/CD, Kubernetes/Helm, and IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible). Emphasizes controlled change management, drift prevention via Git-as-source-of-truth, and observability practices using Prometheus/Grafana.”

“LLM infrastructure engineer who built a production-critical real-time personalization and memory retrieval system for a user-facing product, adding <100ms P99 latency while improving relevance ~20–25% and holding SLA through 3x traffic. Experienced designing tiered retrieval backends (Redis + vector store), deploying on Kubernetes with autoscaling/circuit breakers, and running rigorous observability, incident response, and agent evaluation (shadow traffic, A/B tests, regression/replay).”
