Vetted Helm Professionals

“Co-founded a healthcare AI startup building and deploying software directly with end users, emphasizing rapid shipping, deep user interviews, and workflow-first adoption. Has hands-on production deployment experience on AWS (including diagnosing a silent AWS App Runner failure caused by an ARM vs amd64 Docker build mismatch) and is motivated by customer-facing, travel-heavy roles to keep engineering tightly connected to real-world usage.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM system that scraped Google Maps menu photos, extracted structured prices via OpenAI, and cross-validated them against website-scraped data to automate data-quality verification at scale (replacing costly manual contractor checks). Demonstrates strong reliability instincts—precision-first prompting, output gating with image-quality metadata, and fuzzy matching/RAG techniques—plus solid orchestration (Dagster/Airflow) and observability (Sentry, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“Backend engineer on Morgan Stanley’s trade risk and compliance platform, building Java/Spring Boot microservices that validate equity and fixed-income trades at multi-million-events/day scale. Shipped an LLM-assisted trade exception analysis feature using RAG over internal policy documents and trade history, with production-grade guardrails (confidence thresholds, audit logs, human-in-the-loop) and measurable performance wins (~30–35% faster reporting) through PostgreSQL tuning and Redis caching.”

“Deloitte engineer who built and shipped AI-powered, Kafka-driven workflow automation for transportation/document processing, including LLM-based semantic search. Strong in production reliability (idempotency, offset management, retries), observability (Datadog/CloudWatch), and database performance tuning (PostgreSQL/Flyway), with measurable latency improvements.”

“Azure cloud platform engineer with strong enterprise Linux operations background who designs multi-region HA/DR on Azure (and AWS) using Azure Site Recovery, Traffic Manager, AKS autoscaling, and geo-replicated Azure SQL. Built secure Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for .NET/Python microservices to AKS/VMs and provisions full environments via Terraform modules with remote state, drift checks, and staged rollouts; has not directly owned IBM Power/AIX at scale.”

“Internship at ActiveVM where they tackled large-scale Spring Boot 2→3/library migrations across hundreds of downstream products by combining OpenRewrite (AST-based recipes) with an LLM/RAG-based classifier that routed risky files to human experts. Reported ~70% reduction in manual effort and 90%+ accuracy after testing across multiple branches and cutovers; also built a CTR-driven book recommendation capstone showcased at the Google office in Cambridge.”

“Cloud/platform engineer with hands-on ownership of AWS EKS Kubernetes platforms built and upgraded via Terraform, including AWS networking/security, EBS/EFS/S3 storage integration, and reliability validation through CloudWatch plus Prometheus/Grafana. Also has on-prem VMware/vSphere administration experience and day-to-day hybrid on-prem-to-AWS operations (VPN/Direct Connect), with examples of resolving pod instability from an application memory leak and fixing a production connectivity drop via routing/firewall troubleshooting.”

“Full-stack engineer (3+ years) who owned an AI-powered customer financial health dashboard end-to-end at Regions Bank, combining React/Java Spring Boot with LangChain + Pinecone for personalized insights. Strong production operations experience on AWS EKS with CI/CD and observability (OpenTelemetry/Prometheus/Grafana), delivering measurable outcomes including 22% support reduction and 99.9% uptime, plus robust third-party financial/clinical integrations.”

Mid-level Cloud Engineer specializing in AWS & Azure infrastructure automation

Arizona, USA6y exp

“Backend/platform engineer (American Express) who built a Flask-based orchestration layer to automate infrastructure provisioning and integrated Azure AD/JWT RBAC security. Strong in PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy performance optimization (70%+ query-time reduction) and scalable async/event-driven architectures, including ML inference pipelines (SageMaker/Azure ML/Hugging Face) and high-throughput job queues (Celery/Redis) with reliability patterns like DLQs and idempotency.”

“Cloud-focused platform/infrastructure engineer centered on AWS and Kubernetes, with hands-on experience building EKS environments via Terraform/Terragrunt, bootstrapping clusters with Cilium and ArgoCD, and integrating persistent storage and backup tooling like EFS/EBS CSI and Velero. While no longer focused on on-prem or hybrid operations, they also bring prior VMware/Hyper-V and migration-to-AWS experience, making them strongest in modern cloud platform engineering roles.”

“Software developer with a one-year Philips co-op who has already applied AI-assisted coding in production, not just side projects. Stands out for using multi-agent development setups with task-specific sub-agents and a clear human-led orchestration philosophy focused on context, quality control, and security.”

“Engineer with a process-driven approach to AI-assisted software development, focused on orchestrating where AI adds value while maintaining human review and verification. Has applied this in backend work such as an S3-based invoice pipeline and used multi-agent workflows to speed up large API refactors across many endpoints.”

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned a Python/FastAPI results API and deployed it on Kubernetes with Helm and GitHub Actions-driven CI/CD. Demonstrates strong production operations mindset across performance tuning, monitoring, safe rollouts/rollbacks, and phased migrations, plus hands-on Kafka streaming experience focused on ordering and idempotency.”
