Vetted Incident Response Professionals

“DevOps/SRE focused on cloud-based distributed systems, with strong hands-on Kubernetes production experience (microservices deployments, Helm, probes, resource tuning, CI/CD and Docker build standardization). Demonstrated end-to-end troubleshooting across application, infrastructure, and networking layers—e.g., isolating degraded storage via node disk I/O metrics and restoring performance by draining the node and replacing the volume. Builds Python automation for operational reliability, including scheduled Kubernetes secrets rotation integrated with an external secret manager.”

“AWS engineering manager leading delivery for an end-to-end encrypted communications product (calling/messaging/screen sharing), including shipping read receipts with full design/engineering/QA ownership. Demonstrated strong customer-driven problem solving (offline/mission users enrollment via admin one-time codes with account allowlisting) and reliability improvements (data retention bot crash RCA, monitoring/notification, and high-volume test simulation).”

Mid-level Software Development Engineer specializing in robotics and cloud-based device management

North Reading, Massachusetts3y exp

“Amazon Robotics engineer who deployed and scaled the Lumos camera-based package scanning work cell across EU sort centers (100+ work cells in 5+ sites), enabling remote launches via detailed runbooks and troubleshooting. Strong in AWS IoT/edge systems, with hands-on incident recovery (restored 34 down work cells) and secure multi-compute certificate provisioning using IoT Jobs, ACM/CA, and custom roles; delivered ~75% per-cell cost reduction vs Cognex-based approach.”

Executive CIO/CTO specializing in enterprise transformation across retail, e-commerce, and AI

Santa Monica, CA17y exp

“Senior technology executive (CTO/SVP Technology, also board member) with experience modernizing legacy environments and scaling teams in high-growth and PE-owned contexts. Architected a standardized enterprise platform (ERP/WMS/CRM/POS/eComm/DWH/BI/integration) to rapidly migrate acquisitions—moving 7 companies in under 3 years and cutting migration timelines ~4x—while also driving major org redesign and hiring acceleration (30+ hires in 6 months).”

“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.”

“Backend/data engineer with experience at Nike building high-volume order orchestration and validation APIs using FastAPI microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka, Redis, and Postgres. Strong in production reliability (timeouts/retries/idempotency), GitOps (Argo CD) + Terraform deployments, and data pipelines (AWS Glue/S3), with hands-on incident ownership and legacy modernization into API-driven services.”

“Senior, product-focused engineer who has built real-time customer-facing web applications and a microservices backend (TypeScript/React/Node) using RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and Redis. Demonstrates strong operational maturity (idempotency, tracing/observability, backpressure) and built an internal console that became the primary tool for debugging, replaying jobs, and managing system behavior.”

“LLMOps-focused technical leader who took an LLM use case from prototype to production for a non-technical customer by combining trust-building and structured enablement with a robust AWS/Kubernetes-based MLOps stack. Built observability and rollback mechanisms (Grafana + MLflow) to troubleshoot in real time, and scaled delivery by hiring a 5-person team while partnering with sales to manage expectations and drive adoption across departments.”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on scalable data security scanning and risk detection in hybrid cloud, owning architecture and core implementation of an incremental/parallel DSPM scanning engine. Shipped production improvements including 60% lower scan latency and 30% fewer false positives, with strong emphasis on correctness under concurrency, multi-tenant observability (SLOs/burn-rate alerts), and disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, shadow scans, canaries).”
