Vetted Infrastructure as Code Professionals

“Cloud consulting veteran building DragnCloud, an agentic cloud infrastructure builder aimed at teams outgrowing Heroku/Supabase who need complex setups (data pipelines, custom LLM hosting, multi-tier apps) without hiring consultants. Has SaaS background and has served as a Fractional CTO for funded companies; currently focused on landing the first 20 customers and expanding automation into higher-value workflows.”

“Backend engineer (IpserLab) who owned Python services for a production quiz/analytics platform, focusing on reliability and low-latency behavior under peak load. Hands-on with Kubernetes + Docker deployments and GitHub Actions CI/CD in a GitOps-style workflow, including solving configuration drift and enabling fast rollbacks. Also implemented Kafka-based event streaming with idempotent consumers and strong observability (lag tracking, structured logging, alerting).”

“Cloud/SRE-style engineer at TDS supporting revenue-critical transportation SaaS platforms on AWS/GCP with Kubernetes. Has hands-on experience leading high-impact production work including DDoS mitigation, zero-downtime MSSQL→PostgreSQL migration using CDC, and building secure GitHub Actions + ArgoCD delivery pipelines and Terraform-based GKE infrastructure.”

“Frontend engineer who built a live sports games hub end-to-end: ingesting and normalizing data from 4 external APIs, populating a high-volume live table, and delivering a real-time WebSocket-driven React/TypeScript dashboard. Strong on scalable architecture (SOLID, layered design, queues), performance/load testing with Docker, and startup-style ownership across code review, QA, and staged rollouts to web and app stores.”

“ML engineer with hands-on experience taking a Gaussian Process Regression-based intelligent survey timing system from build to real-world deployment, including a 3-week RCT on 120 participants and measurable improvements (15% response rate, 23% data quality). Also served as a key technical resource at CData for customer-facing demos and debugging hundreds of production issues, bridging engineering with Sales and Customer Success.”

“Cloud/Linux infrastructure engineer focused on high-availability AWS platforms (EKS/EC2) with strong observability and incident response ownership. Has hands-on experience building secure CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) and Terraform-based IaC at scale, including resolving real production issues like peak-traffic latency and Terraform remote state locking; transparent about not having direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA production ownership.”

“DevSecOps/AWS infrastructure engineer at Madison Logic who owns a 15-account AWS footprint and treats nearly all AWS resources as code (Terraform/CloudFormation). Led a CI/CD platform migration (Bitbucket → GitLab + GitHub Actions) supporting WordPress and containerized microservices, improving release frequency to weekly/daily, and has hands-on production incident response experience on ECS Fargate using Datadog with fast rollback via immutable ECR tags and task definition revisions.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who owned high-traffic internal services end-to-end (FastAPI/Django) including REST/GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL optimization, async task processing via SQS, and full CI/CD. Strong Kubernetes-on-EKS and GitOps (ArgoCD + Helm) experience, plus Kafka real-time streaming work and phased cloud-to-on-prem migration support.”

“Frontend-focused engineer who has delivered an end-to-end React SPA with a .NET 9 backend on Azure, deploying via Azure Container Apps and leveraging zero-downtime deployment slots. Built complex TypeScript UI flows (10-page form with global/partial save and custom validation) using Redux + MUI integrated from Figma, and emphasizes quality with RTL/Vitest plus Selenium automation (~95% coverage) and analytics-driven iteration (Heap, Alida, GTM).”

“End-to-end engineer focused on AI-native enterprise systems, including a production generative knowledge platform using RAG + semantic search over internal documentation (React, Python/Flask, GPU-hosted NLP models, Pinecone) with strong CI/CD and observability. Reports concrete outcomes including 40% faster knowledge access and ~75% employee adoption, and has led incremental cloud-native modernization using feature flags, parallel runs, canary releases, and regression testing.”

“Full-stack/product-leaning engineer who owned an end-to-end AI Tutor feature (Claude-powered) shipped simultaneously to iOS/Android/web via Expo, with Cloudflare Workers backend and PostHog analytics. Built the company’s GitHub-based CI/CD to coordinate app store releases with backend blue/green deployments. Also has significant data engineering experience (including ~8TB/day workloads) using dbt/Fivetran plus sharding and hashing-based diffing for correctness.”

“Backend engineer with fintech/AI startup experience who built an Azure serverless, event-driven pipeline for large-scale crypto sentiment analysis and semantic search (OCR/NLP to vector search) and integrated LLM + blockchain data for predictive insights. Demonstrated measurable impact (25% lower retrieval latency, 10% fewer data errors, 15% higher engagement) and has led safe microservices migrations with strong security and reliability practices.”

“Backend engineer with deep experience modernizing a provider credentialing/compliance platform with multiple upstream/downstream integrations. Focused on building predictable, scalable REST APIs (primarily ASP.NET Core; framework-agnostic approach applicable to FastAPI), improving performance via DB/query optimization, and hardening workflows with idempotency, transactions, feature flags, and strong auth/RBAC patterns.”

“Built a production "Mini RAG Assistant" for internal document Q&A, focusing on grounded answers (anti-hallucination), retrieval quality, and latency/cost optimization. Uses LangChain/LangGraph for orchestration and applies a metrics-driven evaluation loop (including reranking and semantic chunking improvements) while collaborating closely with product stakeholders.”

“Enterprise workflow/product engineer (DXC) who owned a customer-facing workflow application for 500+ users and improved performance ~30% through API/SQL optimization, caching, and CI/CD-backed iteration. Experienced designing React/TypeScript + Java/Spring Boot systems and operating microservices with RabbitMQ/Kafka-style messaging, emphasizing reliability via DLQs, backpressure, and strong observability. Also built an internal automation dashboard adopted by support/ops teams to cut manual work and reduce SLA misses.”
