Vetted Microservices Architecture Professionals

“Senior full-stack engineer with 5 years of experience across Bank of America, AT&T, and NextAI/XAI, building cloud-native, high-availability products spanning React, Node, Java, Kotlin, Python, and AWS. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can own architecture, implementation, DevOps, and UX polish end-to-end—from a real-time loan eligibility platform handling 50,000+ daily requests to live event dashboards that improved operations and helped drive $250K in ARR.”

“Engineering leader and hands-on architect from Sony Pictures Entertainment who has led large-scale platform modernization, digital supply chain delivery, and multiple GenAI/RAG initiatives in media and rights-management domains. Notable for combining people leadership with deep AWS/LLM architecture work, including a 1M+ record GenAI title search system and AI-driven contract insights that reportedly helped unlock a 20% revenue increase.”

“Senior Engineering Manager with large-scale platform/API ownership at eBay, leading a globally distributed team and redesigning Order public APIs used by external developer ecosystems at ~800M requests/day, delivering 84% performance gains and reducing compute by ~300 VMs. Also led Google CRES ETL migration work on GCP, creating reusable Python libraries to standardize configuration across 10 integrations and improve developer productivity.”

“Built a production LLM-powered root cause analysis agent for supply chain alerts that helped operations managers avoid manual dashboard investigation. Demonstrates unusually strong depth in agent reliability, orchestration, and observability, with concrete production practices like hallucination blocking, shadow testing on 500 cases, and data-driven improvements that raised user agreement to 94% while cutting GPT-4 usage by 60%.”

“Backend-focused engineer with Walmart Global Tech experience building shipment and seller workflow systems using Spring Boot, GraphQL, Kafka, and async processing. Stands out for improving bulk label API performance by 60-75%, designing item-level partial-failure workflows that improved user clarity, and also exploring AI-powered debugging/RCA platforms with Java, Python, LangChain, and LLM integrations.”
