Vetted Kubernetes Professionals

“iGaming product leader with 11 years of Product Owner experience, spanning QA automation (built a testing framework) through BA and ultimately PO for an online poker team for nearly 6 years. Has shipped and managed live web/mobile/tablet games and worked closely with compliance/UKGC on game certification and launches, using BI/data and player feedback to prioritize features and F2P retention mechanics (tournament ticket funnels, quests).”

“Engineering leader who delivered a Magento-to-Shopify rebuild ahead of schedule while maintaining 100% team retention over 4 years at Hydrobuilder Holdings. Also built and ran a concert-listing platform (TourVolume) in production for 12+ years (Webby Honorable Mention) and later open-sourced the full codebase. Deep experience in auth/API platforms on AWS, including moving critical auth services from Lambda to ECS to eliminate cold-start latency.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered university support chatbot on Azure using a RAG pipeline, focusing on reducing hallucinations, improving latency, and handling ambiguous queries via confidence checks and clarification prompts. Also has hands-on orchestration experience (Airflow/Azure Data Factory), including hardening a demand-forecasting ingestion workflow with sensors, retries, and automated alerts, and uses a metrics-driven testing/monitoring approach for reliable AI agents.”

“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.”

“Senior software engineer (backend/infra) with hands-on Unity gameplay feature work, including an editor-time page-generation and multilingual pipeline that renders gamebook pages as textures for instant 3D page flips. Combines immersive UX techniques (mask textures + custom shader hover feedback) with strong multiplayer/networking and scalable infrastructure thinking (latency, prediction, security, autoscaling).”

“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.”

“Customer-facing application security/support professional who helps teams operationalize SAST/DAST/SCA in CI/CD, reduce false positives, and prioritize remediation by business risk. Has hands-on experience troubleshooting intermittent pipeline failures (rate limiting/timeouts under parallel load) using logs/metrics/traces, and driving durable outcomes via runbooks/KB documentation and phased security rollouts across stakeholders.”

“Built production automations and LLM/RAG prototypes spanning enterprise and personal use cases: cleaned a 5TB Akamai storage estate via n8n + legacy REST APIs (20–25% deletion, cost savings) and developed an internal Qdrant-backed RAG chatbot evaluated with automated scoring plus user feedback. Also prototypes latency-sensitive agentic tools (e.g., automated hotline calling) and designs guardrails against prompt injection for email/PDF processing workflows.”
