Vetted Microservices Architecture Professionals

“Senior engineering/technology leader who has defined and delivered a multi-year roadmap to modernize platforms and embed AI, leading global teams through cloud-native and microservices migrations on AWS/Azure. Demonstrated measurable outcomes including 99.99% uptime, 40% fewer incidents, 25% faster delivery, 5x scalability, and $30M in new business opportunities, while scaling a 100+ person distributed org with strong OKR-driven execution and mentorship culture.”

“Software-focused candidate who built a data monitoring pipeline during a hedge fund internship, integrating real databases and an email API to notify teams when data was ready. Comfortable working through legacy/scrappy code and uses LLMs to accelerate comprehension and delivery, with an emphasis on thorough testing and clear communication with stakeholders/customers.”

“McKinsey & Company ML/NLP practitioner who builds production-grade AI systems across sectors (notably healthcare and finance), including RAG/LLM solutions, entity resolution pipelines, and embedding-powered search with vector databases. Demonstrated measurable impact (40% reduction in data duplication) and strong MLOps/data workflow practices (Airflow, MLflow, Spark, AWS/GCP, Prometheus, CI/CD).”

“Fintech product builder focused on AI-native opportunities; recently helped their company operationalize LLMs in customer service and bank ops by creating systems to continuously improve prompts and evaluations. Also drove growth by identifying hooks in a major American retailer distribution channel and integrating into the retailer’s payment flows to become a key part of the user funnel.”

“Engineering/tech leader with experience spanning major platforms (mentions Microsoft and AWS) and leading ML-driven product architecture (ranking systems). Describes driving a shift to a layered, API-standardized service architecture (including vector database components) that materially increased delivery speed (weeks to hours) while improving scalability and security, and emphasizes rigorous execution reviews (QDR/OKRs) plus transparent remote-team operating rhythms.”

“NVIDIA engineer who built and shipped a production LLM-powered enterprise knowledge system (summarization, transcription, and Q&A) that cut document retrieval time ~30%. Deep hands-on experience with RAG (FAISS/Pinecone), GPU-accelerated microservices on AWS, and reliability/safety practices (Guardrails AI, prompt A/B testing, canary releases) plus strong MLOps orchestration across Airflow, Step Functions, and Kubernetes GitOps.”

“Player-coach engineer/leader with experience at Twist Bioscience and Series B startup Vida Health, owning high-impact platform work across frontend and backend. Delivered a large-scale permissions migration to Okta affecting ~100,000 users and led reliability/process improvements (weekly releases, dedicated QA/dev environments, incident response with RCA) in high-growth environments.”

“Engineering leader with experience across MSCI (Index business), Microsoft Teams (callings/meetings), and MSN Weather. Has led business-aligned roadmaps, scaled orgs (including an ~80-person Teams org during COVID demand surge), and delivered Azure-based, multi-region architectures achieving ~2000 RPS and 99.9% availability with improved RTO/RPO.”

“AWS advisory leader and long-tenured (4 decades) execution-focused operator who helps startups and enterprise "startup-like" business units scale operations through customer-centric mechanisms (Working Backwards/PRFAQ) and tech-enabled modernization. Delivered concrete process gains (e.g., ~30% faster mortgage workflow and ~10 manual handoffs eliminated via automation/microservices) and advises VC/startups on data/infra ops, AI-driven differentiation, and go-to-market positioning across multiple industries.”

“Engineering leader/player-coach on a risk core transaction platform (payments/branded checkout) who led major migrations from a monolithic stack to microservices, including API contract redesign and performance improvements (reported ~500ms latency reduction). Experienced running high-stakes production incidents (upgrade-related outage/degradation) end-to-end with RCA and rollout-process changes, and has accelerated delivery via documentation/tooling (audit sign-off cycle reduced from ~3 sprints to ~1).”

“NYC-based startup founder/CTO who sold products to Omnicom and Sprinklr, then built an AI-powered cultural insights engine inside Omnicom using AWS Lambda + ML to process ~1M items/day and reached ~$1MM ARR in year one. Former senior leader at Sprinklr managing 200+ people globally, delivering enterprise martech solutions with SLAs and high-reliability social data pipelines (Twitter firehose).”

“Backend engineer with Tesla experience who redesigned vehicle registration into a step-based, region-configured workflow across 4–5 microservices, enabling partial saves and reducing customer drop-off. Has hands-on experience scaling and securing Python/FastAPI APIs (OAuth2/JWT, CORS), migrating cold data from MySQL to MongoDB via Kubernetes CronJobs, and implementing RBAC/RLS with Supabase + Postgres.”

“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).”
