Vetted High Availability Professionals

“Co-founded a Digital Loss Prevention (DLP) startup and raised $6M in seed funding by showcasing a controlled, laptop-based technology demo. Post-funding, drove MVP planning and execution by sequencing operations and assembling a team to build an appliance MVP, using an iterative build/evaluate/visualize approach.”

“Engineering leader who drove TiVo IPTV’s client-facing API modernization from a monolith to AWS-based microservices (API Gateway, Lambda, EKS, Kafka, DynamoDB/RDS), including phased/blue-green production routing of millions of calls. Emphasizes org scaling through skill-based hiring, mentorship, and a you-build-you-run ownership culture, while balancing technical leadership with executive stakeholder communication and budgeting.”

“Engineering/technology leader with experience at GE, Owl Cyber Defense, and Team Cymru, focused on translating VOC and business strategy into iterative product/technology roadmaps. Led delivery of a Continuous Threat Exposure Management/asset discovery capability integrated with threat intel, reaching GA in ~2 quarters and generating ~$300K in pre-GA orders. Has scaled engineering organizations significantly (to ~100 FTE) and driven big-data security architectures using Kafka and ClickHouse with data-driven cost/performance tradeoffs.”

“Backend/product engineer with Tesla experience building and operating a real-time OTA update monitoring and fleet analytics platform at massive scale (telemetry from 3M+ vehicles). Delivered end-to-end systems across Kafka-based ingestion, TimescaleDB/Postgres analytics modeling, FastAPI/GraphQL APIs, and React/TypeScript dashboards, and handled production scaling incidents on AWS EKS during major rollout spikes.”

“Full-stack engineer with 4+ years building production-grade healthcare applications, including a real-time patient monitoring/appointment platform (Spring Boot/Node + React) secured with OAuth2/JWT and deployed on Azure. At Verily, built a high-volume real-time patient analytics app and improved the data pipeline to cut latency by 25%, with hands-on experience optimizing WebSocket performance using Redis caching.”

“Engineering leader who has led 100+ engineers at Sainsbury’s Tech and previously scaled an org from 6 to 60+ at AND Digital. Drove a high-impact modernization of a pricing/decisioning platform serving 1,700 stores—moving from batch monolith to real-time Kafka-based event-driven microservices with MLOps, IaC (Terraform), and zero-trust—delivering £18m+ annual profit uplift and 10+ deploys/day.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience shipping a healthcare-focused web app (Pregnancy-Pal) using Next.js/TypeScript on GCP, integrating a Python/Flask middleware and FHIR server for patient/practitioner dashboards and messaging. Former Wikimedia Foundation Android engineer who led the end-to-end 'Year in Review' feature and built robust automated testing/CI practices (Espresso, GitHub Actions matrix). Strong emphasis on reliability via rigorous validation, comprehensive Postman testing, and detailed API documentation.”

“Customer-facing technical support/solutions professional with experience at Stripe and Intuit helping developers take payment API and webhook integrations from testing to production. Uses Datadog and AWS CloudWatch to diagnose real-time production issues (e.g., webhook signature validation errors causing retries/delays) and unblocks customer deployments through hands-on, developer-oriented guidance.”

“TypeScript backend engineer in the robotics domain with hands-on experience building low-latency (20–40ms) production systems using RabbitMQ, Redis, and HA PostgreSQL (Patroni). Has owned end-to-end services supporting 15 clients via config-driven architecture, with strong CI/CD, automated testing, and observability (OpenTelemetry) practices, plus API versioning/deprecation using Keycloak auth.”

“Search/backend engineer with hands-on experience improving Apache Solr-based search systems end-to-end (indexing strategy changes, ETL updates, and Java/Spring Boot Search API work). Demonstrated production rigor with QA partnership, A/B testing, and rollback-safe kill switches, plus measurable product impact (e.g., +1.5% add-to-cart) and operational troubleshooting including traffic/security mitigation.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an AI-assisted job-matching dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, keeping LLM logic server-side and improving performance via deduplication, caching/revalidation, and streaming (35% fewer duplicate LLM calls; 40% faster first render). Also has strong data/backend chops: designed Postgres models and optimized queries at million-record scale (1.8s to 120ms) and built durable AWS multi-region telemetry workflows with idempotency, retries, and monitoring.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on compliance and statistical processing systems on AWS, building containerized FastAPI services plus event-driven async workflows (Step Functions/EventBridge) with strong reliability patterns (JWT auth, idempotency, structured logging). Has modernized SAS-based batch pipelines into modular Python/AWS services with parallel-run parity validation, and has demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (40+ min to <10 min) and hands-on incident ownership using CloudWatch-driven detection and prevention.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building high-concurrency customer engagement platforms at KomBea on AWS (EKS + Lambda) using FastAPI/Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, and strong observability. Has modernized legacy batch systems into modular Python services with parallel-run parity validation and phased rollouts, and has delivered resilient AWS Glue ETL pipelines with schema evolution and data quality controls.”
