Vetted Infrastructure as Code Professionals

“Customer-facing platform support professional focused on application security and reliability for SaaS integrations, with hands-on experience troubleshooting API auth failures and data update issues using Linux/app/DB logs, SQL, and monitoring. Demonstrates strong security fundamentals (least privilege, TLS/access controls, credential rotation) and can design secure AWS agent integrations while also supporting Azure containerized REST API deployments via CI/CD.”

Senior Unity Developer specializing in AI/LLM systems and multiplayer VR

Orlando, FL11y exp

“Backend/data engineer focused on AWS-native Python systems: built a FastAPI microservice on ECS/Fargate serving real-time analytics at millions of daily requests with strong reliability (OAuth2/JWT, retries/timeouts, correlation IDs) and autoscaling. Also delivered Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines to curated S3 Parquet/Athena with schema evolution + data quality controls, owned Airflow pipeline incidents, and has a track record of measurable performance and cost optimizations (e.g., ~80%+ query latency reduction; reduced logging/NAT/Fargate spend).”

“Full-stack engineer with payments/settlement domain experience who modernized a payment tracking workflow from REST to GraphQL and delivered a production payment status dashboard using Next.js App Router + TypeScript. Strong in performance and reliability work (Postgres indexing/Explain Analyze, Redis caching, Datadog observability) and in durable event-driven processing with Kafka (DLQs, idempotency, reconciliation, event replay).”

“AI/ML engineer who led Impacter AI’s production deployment of a specialized outreach LLM (CharmedLLM) fine-tuned on GPT-4.1, cutting API costs ~40% while boosting outreach effectiveness ~60%. Built the supporting MLOps and data infrastructure (MLflow, Kubernetes, PySpark, Kafka) and has agentic AI experience from University of Dayton, using LangChain + RAG and vector search (Pinecone) to improve reliability and reduce hallucinations.”

Chicago, Illinois7y exp

“Backend engineer who built and shipped an end-to-end AI outreach product (LazyMails) combining a LinkedIn-scraping Chrome extension with a FastAPI/Postgres backend and Gemini-powered email generation, achieving major personal productivity gains. Also has enterprise experience at TCS on Humana’s 500k+ user wellness platform running Kubernetes microservices with Azure DevOps CI/CD, plus Kafka-based real-time eligibility event streaming and GitOps-driven operations.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and AI/LLM RAG platforms

San Jose, CA2y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built and operated a data-driven analytics platform using Next.js App Router/Server Components and TypeScript, owning post-launch monitoring and performance/stability work. Demonstrated measurable wins in analytics performance (e.g., cutting query latency from ~1s to ~200ms) through indexing, query-plan analysis, and precomputation/caching, and has experience designing durable multi-step backend workflows with retries, idempotency, DLQ, and time-correct ordering.”

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java, React, and distributed systems

Austin, TX7y exp

“Implementation and AI workflow engineer who has owned customer deployments end-to-end for messaging/integration platforms and also built production-oriented LLM systems. Stands out for combining stakeholder-facing delivery leadership with hands-on experience in Kafka/MongoDB integrations, RAG/agent architectures, and resilient document-processing pipelines with strong validation and fallback controls.”

“UNIX operations-focused candidate with hands-on AIX/Solaris troubleshooting and Bash automation experience, including resolving a production connectivity outage caused by a host table IP misconfiguration. Has supported a re-platform migration of a home-grown application by working directly with developers and running parallel testing prior to cutover; no direct IBM Power (VIOS/HMC/LPAR) or NIM/PowerHA experience.”

“AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer focused on production Linux environments, building secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub) to deploy Dockerized services to AWS ECS and automating infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation. Strong in operational troubleshooting and scaling (CloudWatch-driven performance remediation, Auto Scaling/ELB, multi-AZ HA patterns), but explicitly does not have IBM Power/AIX or PowerHA/HACMP experience.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning serverless APIs and containerized workers (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS) plus data pipelines (Glue, S3, Athena/Redshift). Has modernized legacy SAS/cron batch systems into Python/AWS with parallel-run parity validation and low-risk cutovers, and has owned ETL incidents end-to-end (CloudWatch detection, backfills, and preventative controls). Targeting $130k–$150k base and strongly prefers remote, with occasional Bethesda onsite acceptable.”

“AWS-focused Python backend/data engineer who builds production analytics APIs and ETL pipelines using API Gateway, Lambda, Step Functions, ECS, Glue, S3, and RDS. Strong in operational reliability and performance tuning (including SQL indexing/partitioning) and has modernized legacy SAS statistical processing into validated Python services with phased rollouts and stakeholder sign-off.”
