Vetted Monitoring Professionals

“Senior engineering/CTO-level leader with hands-on delivery of serverless, event-driven cloud governance platforms (deployed across multiple GE business units) and experience building adaptable usage-based billing at UserTesting. Has advised startups (including CaseText during YC) and supported fundraising and acquisition due diligence, including investor materials for a smart cooler custody management system presented to BARDA during Operation Warp Speed.”

“Has hands-on familiarity with successful F2P mobile fighting games (e.g., Marvel Contest of Champions) and can articulate key retention/monetization systems like streak-based daily logins, gacha rewards, and limited-time events. While not having shipped a game directly, they have shipped web/mobile products integrated into gaming ecosystems and think in terms of live-ops health metrics and A/B testing for IAP offers.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience building Python/Flask microservices using PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy, JWT auth, Docker, and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Strong in performance and scalability work—migrated heavy processing to Celery/Redis, tuned queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE and indexing, and delivered 50%+ API latency reduction. Also integrates AI workflows (OpenAI APIs) with batching/caching/fallbacks and has implemented multi-tenant data isolation patterns.”

Mid-level Backend/Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech payments

Tempe, AZ4y exp

“Full-stack engineer who has owned an operational reporting/dashboard product end-to-end—building a React UI, designing/implementing FastAPI services, and deploying/operating on AWS. Demonstrates strong performance engineering (Postgres query/index tuning using EXPLAIN ANALYZE) with concrete impact (reports reduced from tens of seconds to a few seconds) and a reliability mindset across observability, migrations, and resilient third-party/ETL integrations.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in cloud automation and data/ETL platforms

Arlington, Virginia6y exp

“Backend engineer with AWS multi-region production experience building APIs and workflow automation for data center/storage hardware operations (firmware orchestration, maintenance checks, ticketing, dashboards). Also shipped an internal AI chat tool that parses hardware runbooks and incorporates user feedback to retrain the model, and has a strong testing/quality discipline (95%+ coverage) plus database performance tuning via indexing and query monitoring.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience across backend, full-stack, cloud, and AI/ML systems, with particular depth in Python, FastAPI, AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, and RAG-based architectures. Stands out for treating AI and agents as accelerators within disciplined production engineering, emphasizing guardrails, observability, latency/cost monitoring, and scalable system design.”

“Full-stack/backend-leaning engineer who has built internal operational dashboards and AI assistants, including a real-time dashboard used by engineering, operations, and management teams at NVIDIA. Brings a mix of Spring Boot, Angular/TypeScript, distributed-system performance tuning, and practical LLM integration with grounding, validation, and production monitoring.”

“Backend/data engineering candidate with Netflix experience designing and migrating analytics platforms from batch to real-time streaming (Kafka/Flink) across AWS and GCP. Delivered measurable improvements (40% lower data delay, 99.9% accuracy) using phased rollouts, automated data validation (Great Expectations), and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana), and proactively hardened pipelines with idempotency to prevent duplicate Kafka processing.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a large enterprise footprint (40 Power8/9 frames, 400+ AIX LPARs) with deep hands-on VIOS/HMC, NIM, performance tuning, and PowerHA recovery. Demonstrated high-impact incident response (avoided DB reboot saving ~4 hours; restored clustered services in <20 minutes) plus strong RCA and preventative remediation. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience building GitHub Actions pipelines and Terraform-managed AWS EKS/VPC/RDS/S3 environments.”

“Amazon engineer who built an Amazon Bedrock-powered summarization layer over large-scale network/service telemetry (“top talker” insights) to help security engineers triage anomalies faster. Emphasizes production-grade design patterns for LLM features—non-blocking enrichment, deterministic fallbacks, strict structured outputs, and monitoring to preserve trust in source-of-truth telemetry.”
