Vetted Helm Professionals

“Software engineer with a rare mix of early startup product-building and large-scale enterprise data platform work. At a 40-person digital signage startup, they wrote much of the customer-facing software, and later at Qualtrics built Go and Python ETLs, internal configuration tools, and B2B data products supporting survey analytics and custom data science workflows.”

“Google Health engineer who owned and shipped an AI-powered clinical insights dashboard and NLP clinical note extraction service end-to-end (React/Next.js frontend; Python/Node microservices on GKE; TensorFlow transformers; BigQuery analytics). Demonstrated strong production rigor (CI/CD, testing, observability, guardrails for sensitive data) and delivered measurable outcomes including 30% faster diagnostics, 40% less manual documentation, 15% higher adoption, and 25% lower ops costs.”

Executive Platform & Security Engineering leader specializing in multi-cloud Kubernetes and FinTech

San Diego County, USA18y exp

“Startup-focused infrastructure/security leader who stepped into head of engineering and re-platformed an entire product end-to-end in 3 months to meet launch. In crypto/fintech, recognized the market-data system as an ETL/data product and rebuilt it as a separable, securely accessible platform—prompting inbound interest within a week—while advocating an open-source-first observability stack (Prometheus/Grafana/Loki) to avoid vendor lock-in.”

“NVIDIA engineer who built and shipped a production LLM-powered enterprise knowledge system (summarization, transcription, and Q&A) that cut document retrieval time ~30%. Deep hands-on experience with RAG (FAISS/Pinecone), GPU-accelerated microservices on AWS, and reliability/safety practices (Guardrails AI, prompt A/B testing, canary releases) plus strong MLOps orchestration across Airflow, Step Functions, and Kubernetes GitOps.”
