Vetted Microservices Professionals

“Software engineer with JPMorgan Chase experience building a real-time operations console backend on Spring Boot/Kafka/Kubernetes and resolving peak-load latency through profiling, indexing, caching, and async processing. Also built and owned an AI-driven digital-archives metadata pipeline during a master’s at UNT using OCR + LLaMA-based prompting with validation, near-human accuracy, and human-in-the-loop guardrails.”

“Bootstrapped founder/fractional-CTO type building a community-first tooling platform and niche product lab, emphasizing trust and "family" culture. Operates extremely lean by self-hosting open-source LLM tooling locally and leverages a network of senior generalists willing to trade short-term compensation for learning and equity. Has worked across real estate tech, logistics, and hospitality POS and is applying a multi-modal "brain trails" concept to product opportunities.”

“MS candidate with strong backend/data engineering focus who builds research and data systems with production-grade rigor (reproducibility, observability, restartability). Has hands-on experience securing and scaling FastAPI-based gateways in front of Java microservices, leading SQL Server→Snowflake migrations with dual-write/feature-flag rollouts, and hardening Kafka-based fleet-tracking systems against out-of-order and duplicate events.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong Next.js App Router/TypeScript experience who built production dataset search/filtering and data-heavy dashboards backed by Postgres. Demonstrates hands-on performance work across the stack (EXPLAIN ANALYZE, composite indexes, caching, React profiling/memoization) and has built durable, Temporal-like orchestrated data-processing workflows with idempotency and retry strategies in an early-stage startup environment (Gaia AI).”

“Infrastructure engineer with deep production IBM Power/AIX experience (AIX 7.2/7.3, HMC, dual VIOS, PowerHA) supporting ~25–30 LPARs and handling live DLPAR tuning, HA failovers, and Power7→Power9 migrations. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps CI/CD deploying Dockerized microservices to Kubernetes with Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, strong controls around secrets, drift, and safe rollouts.”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned an end-to-end financial data ingestion and validation system (Python/Django/FastAPI, Postgres, AWS), including large-file performance tuning, auditability, and CI/CD. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + ArgoCD GitOps practitioner and has delivered both Kafka-based real-time transaction streaming and a legacy on-prem stack migration to AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager) with controlled cutovers and data consistency validation.”

“Backend/platform engineer in healthcare and consulting (Molina Healthcare, TCS) who productionized real-time eligibility/authorization and care navigation workflows with strong reliability and HIPAA security. Demonstrated measurable performance gains (≈40% latency reduction, ~99% uptime) using Spring Boot APIs, SQS decoupling, Redis caching, and deep observability, and regularly leads technical demos that accelerate client adoption.”

“AI/LLM engineer with healthcare domain experience who built a production clinical support “chart bot” for Molina, including PHI-safe ingestion of 200k+ PDF policies, vector retrieval, and a fine-tuned LLaMA served via vLLM on ECS Fargate. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (HNSW + namespace partitioning; 30% inference latency reduction) and a rigorous evaluation/monitoring approach, while partnering closely with nurses and operations teams to shape workflows and guardrails.”

“Serverless-focused engineer (5+ years) who has built and deployed AWS Lambda/API Gateway backends with CloudFormation-based IaC and Jenkins-driven CI/CD across dev/staging/prod. Has experience with AWS Glue/OpenSearch data pipelines and emphasizes data correctness via Golden Data automated tests; also modernized a regulated .NET account-confirmation workflow by eliminating an unreliable SMTP email dependency. Based in San Jose, seeking primarily remote work with quarterly travel to Bethesda, MD and targeting $200k base.”

“LLM/agent engineer at USAA who built a production GPT-4o RAG conversational assistant for financial analysts, focused on regulatory interpretation and internal documentation search. Emphasizes compliance-grade reliability with strict grounding, safe fallbacks, and full auditability via MLflow/DVC plus human-in-the-loop review; reports ~45% reduction in ticket resolution time.”

“Backend engineer from insurance/enterprise platforms with a focus on high-performance, real-time, event-driven microservices. Brings strong distributed-systems communication design plus mature testing, Docker containerization, and CI/CD practices; no direct robotics/ROS experience.”

“LLM/agent production specialist with strong customer-facing and pre-sales chops: turns demo-grade prototypes into reliable, compliant deployments using RAG tuning, guardrails, evals in CI, and observability with staged rollouts/rollback. Known for engineering-first workshops (including live break-and-fix on retrieval misses, tool timeouts, and prompt injection) that win over skeptical senior developers and drive adoption.”
