Vetted Microservices Professionals

“TikTok engineer (4 years) who built and owned multiple ad transparency platforms used by internal teams and advertisers worldwide. Strong full-stack profile spanning Next.js/TypeScript + Redux frontends, a secure/optimized BFF layer, and event-driven backend workflows (Kafka, retries/DLQ, Redis idempotency) with heavy emphasis on observability and performance; cites a 20% moderation efficiency gain on a modernized legacy tool.”

“Entrepreneurially driven technical leader seeking to partner with a founder/business plan owner to provide technical expertise. Helped drive Wiser's expansion into Europe by evaluating acquisition targets' technical estates and making the recommendation that was chosen. Applied lean, high-leverage product thinking at Nabis on a two-sided marketplace, delivering buyer value with a simple algorithm and later adding paid boosting for brands.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning high-traffic FastAPI APIs (Postgres/Redis/Kafka) and serverless+container deployments (Lambda/ECS) managed via Terraform and CI/CD. Has built Glue-based data lake ETL (S3 Parquet, Athena/Redshift) with schema drift/data quality controls, modernized legacy batch systems via parallel-run parity validation, and demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (60–90s down to 3–5s).”

“Senior engineering leader with experience at Cisco, Amazon, and startup Shopkick, operating at high scale (e.g., Secure Web Gateway handling ~40M QPS). Known for measurable impact across reliability and cost (85% efficacy improvement; Datadog spend cut from ~$500k/month to ~$15k/month) and for leading complex platform modernization (1-year monolith-to-microservices/event-driven migration with zero customer impact) plus compatibility-focused API design that cut device onboarding from a month to a day.”

“ML/LLM engineer with Stripe and Adobe experience who productionized a transformer-based Payments Foundation Model for real-time fraud detection at global scale (billions of transactions). Built petabyte-scale ETL/feature pipelines (Spark/EMR, Airflow, dbt, Kafka/Flink) and achieved <100ms multi-region inference (EKS, TorchServe, edge/Lambda, GPU/CPU routing) with strong PCI-DSS/GDPR compliance and explainability (SHAP/LIME), reporting a 64% fraud accuracy improvement.”

“End-to-end product engineer who built and shipped Shopify Magic, an LLM-powered product-description generator on Amazon Bedrock with RAG over a tenant-isolated vector database, achieving 50% faster content creation, sub-2s latency, and 70%+ merchant adoption. Also led a Flexport migration from a monolithic Rails app to microservices using feature flags and parallel runs, delivering zero downtime and a 60% improvement in development speed.”

“LLM-focused engineer/sales-engineering profile with hands-on experience productionizing complex systems: scalable distributed architecture, multi-tenant monitoring, canary/shadow rollouts, and robust fallback strategies. Demonstrated real-time troubleshooting depth (p99 latency spikes traced to DB connection limits causing retry storms) and strong developer-facing communication via RAG workshops and live, customer-specific demos that helped close deals quickly.”

“Engineering leader in cloud security at SysTech with player-coach experience spanning cross-team data/ownership standardization and reporting platform user-journey improvements. Stays technically deep through observability (SLA/SLOs, dashboards, alerting), rigorous code reviews (including AI-assisted coding), and end-to-end incident ownership in IAM/agentless cloud event collection. Targeting $270K–$300K base plus bonus/equity.”

“Product/operations-focused builder exploring an AI-based vacation planning app (early-stage). Previously drove a large-scale fulfillment-center automation initiative impacting 1.2M associates, reducing peak-season ad-hoc hiring and delivering ~$39MM in annual savings through a metrics-driven, cross-functional execution approach.”
