Senior QA Test Analyst specializing in game and service testing

Los Angeles, CA11y exp

“Game QA/automation tester with experience at Blizzard, Bossfight Entertainment, and Netflix, spanning manual-to-automation transitions, Selenium/C# UI automation, and CI/CD nightly reporting via TestRail. Known for an end-user-driven test strategy, strong defect isolation (including crash dumps), and cross-functional test planning that influenced multiplayer UX/design decisions.”

“Internship at BlueFoxLabs building and deploying an AI/ML RAG system for a biopharma client on top of LibreChat, including an AWS Textract ingestion pipeline and PGVector retrieval deployed to AWS EKS. Demonstrated production-minded scalability work by moving from a vertically scaled EC2 setup to a horizontally scaling Kubernetes/EKS deployment, using CI/CD to safely incorporate requirement changes like tabular document data.”

“Backend engineer who scaled a food delivery platform by migrating from a single-service architecture to Spring Cloud microservices with an API gateway and Kafka-based event-driven order pipeline. Reported outcomes include ~50% latency reduction, stable ~2K RPS throughput, and 99.8% uptime, with strong emphasis on safe migrations (dual writes, canaries, schema versioning) and security (JWT/RBAC/Postgres RLS).”

“Backend/data engineer with Amazon supply-chain experience building production serverless Python services and ETL pipelines on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS, Glue). Has modernized legacy SAS jobs into Python with rigorous parity testing and phased migrations, and has delivered major SQL performance gains (minutes down to seconds) through indexing and partitioning.”

“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.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems on AWS

Seattle, WA3y exp

“Data/infra engineer with AWS DynamoDB experience who has shipped reliability-critical systems (Global Tables replica repair protocol) and customer-facing service rollouts using canary/percentage-based deployments, strong observability, and rollback strategies. Also built end-to-end Airflow pipelines producing weekly automated reports over ~10TB of advertising segment data, with rigorous week-over-week data quality validation.”

Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in FinTech, IAM, and AI/ML platforms

SF Bay Area, CA22y exp

“Player-coach backend leader at PostLo who led a major backend architecture upgrade to enable AI-driven features by separating transactional systems from AI workloads (vector embeddings/image validation) and adding async processing for heavy jobs. Also owned production reliability improvements (query/index optimization, workload isolation, monitoring and load testing) and translated an ambiguous retention goal into a shipped cashback rewards feature with auditable transactions.”

“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.”

Engineering Director specializing in backend & data platforms for enterprise SaaS and cybersecurity

San Jose, CA21y exp

“Backend/data engineering player-coach on a UEBA cloud security analytics platform who standardized MLOps and detection development for 180+ detections, cutting ship time from 6–7 weeks to ~3 weeks while reducing false positives. Proven at operating large-scale streaming + Spark systems (200K+ events/sec, 100+ TB/day), driving major reliability/cost improvements, and leading incident response and team execution through GA.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and full-stack web development

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Backend engineer at Electric Hydrogen who built a serverless device-log ingestion and processing platform in Python/Flask, scaling throughput (4x peak ingestion) while keeping sub-300ms API latency. Strong in Postgres/SQLAlchemy performance (partitioning, materialized views) and production ML integration (ONNX model served via FastAPI microservice with async batch inference, Redis feature caching, and drift monitoring via S3/Lambda). Experienced designing secure multi-tenant systems with schema-per-tenant isolation and KMS-backed encryption.”
