Vetted Helm Professionals

“Senior infrastructure/platform engineer with deep IBM Power/AIX (Power9, VIOS, HMC, LPAR/DLPAR) and PowerHA production ownership at scale (40 frames / ~300 LPARs), including hands-on outage recovery and performance tuning. Also delivers modern DevOps/IaC capabilities—CI/CD for Kubernetes microservices and Terraform-based multi-account AWS (EKS/VPC/IAM/RDS) with drift detection and safe rollout controls.”

“Built a production LLM-powered root cause analysis agent for supply chain alerts that helped operations managers avoid manual dashboard investigation. Demonstrates unusually strong depth in agent reliability, orchestration, and observability, with concrete production practices like hallucination blocking, shadow testing on 500 cases, and data-driven improvements that raised user agreement to 94% while cutting GPT-4 usage by 60%.”

“Technology transformation leader who builds board-approved roadmaps and scales engineering orgs with strong Agile execution. Led large modernization efforts (e.g., Scottrade: 3,000 programs/4M LOC in 18 months) and scaled POCs into enterprise SaaS platforms using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform for high-concurrency workloads.”

“AI/LLM engineer with production experience at NVIDIA and Microsoft, including building a RAG-based enterprise knowledge assistant that improved accuracy by 42% and scaled to thousands of queries. Deep in inference optimization (TensorRT-LLM, Triton, quantization, speculative decoding) and MLOps/observability (Prometheus/Grafana, MLflow, LangSmith), plus orchestration with Kubeflow/Airflow across multi-cloud.”

“Engineering/product leader with repeated experience defining roadmaps and delivering platform migrations across SaaS and enterprise contexts. Scaled an education system from two districts to 2M+ students statewide, and led an Elasticsearch-based architecture for an internal Disney product serving ~100K employees. Known for rigorous execution (RAID/OKRs/sprints), strong stakeholder communication (weekly AI summaries), and empowering teams via end-to-end ownership and customer-connected development.”
