Vetted MySQL Professionals

“Recent internship project at Google Workspace building an LLM-driven Python backend pipeline to extract/enrich NLP features from messy customer web domains and integrate them into a Domain Feature Store for personalization and promotions. Also has hands-on Kubernetes/Docker deployment experience for a Digital Signage SaaS backend with GitHub Actions CI, plus strong streaming-systems knowledge (Kafka exactly-once, schema evolution, Flink scaling) and built an information retrieval system handling 30,000+ cases.”

Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed microservices and event-driven systems

Fremont, CA10y exp

“Backend engineer with production experience building a high-scale notification pipeline (~20M/day) using Java/Dropwizard with Kafka and Azure Queue, including DLQ/poison-message handling and the outbox pattern for reliability. Also led a batch-based migration of Yammer Messaging user data from PostgreSQL to Azure Cosmos DB for global multi-region scale, addressing throttling and network failures via retries, escalation policies, and dynamic throughput tuning.”

Mid-Level Backend Engineer specializing in REST APIs and AWS

SF Bay Area, CA3y exp

“Backend engineer who built a new REST eligibility service at Barclays that unified siloed account logic (card/loan/deposit) and integrated with web/mobile, ultimately serving millions of users daily. Also built an end-to-end LLM-based pharmaceutical care-plan generation tool in a rapid Columbia startup competition, emphasizing configurable design, strict validation, persistence, and robust error handling.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in distributed backend systems on AWS

Seattle, WA4y exp

“Built production systems in the AWS ecosystem, including an internal AI assistant for diagnosing account transfer and permissions issues and an end-to-end account transfer workflow used by enterprise customers. Stands out for combining LLM/RAG design with strong distributed systems reliability practices, emphasizing guardrails, fallbacks, and operational trust in high-stakes workflows.”

“ML/NLP engineer focused on production-grade data and search/recommendation systems: built an end-to-end pipeline that connects unstructured customer feedback with product data using TF-IDF/BERT, Spark, and AWS (SageMaker/S3), orchestrated with Airflow and monitored for drift. Also has hands-on experience with entity resolution at scale and improving search relevance via BERT embeddings, FAISS vector search, and domain fine-tuning validated with precision@k and A/B testing.”

Michael Kaufman

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in mobile and web platforms

Seattle, WA5y exp

“iOS-focused engineer who led feature development for Amazon Books/Kindle (e.g., Series & Story So Far recaps, Kindle Memories) and introduced pure Swift packages while building sync and content download systems. Also has full-stack experience (React/TypeScript + Node with REST/GraphQL) and strong AWS operations (CDK/CI-CD, CloudWatch, canaries, autoscaling), plus founder experience at GLXY.ai shipping an early hardware MVP (weight sensors) under tight constraints.”

“CTO-level leader with deep insurtech and cloud security/SaaS experience who has repeatedly scaled global engineering orgs and delivered high-velocity roadmaps. Most recently led Delos Insurance Solutions to launch new homeowners programs for wildfire-prone regions every 3–4 weeks while meeting DOI/SLA requirements, driving $135M GWP and $250M capacity and reaching cash-flow positive. Also led major scalability re-architecture at CloudPassage (Postgres to Cassandra + Kafka) and built a large Estonia-based engineering hub at Cybercube.”

Executive Unity/XR Engineer specializing in real-time mocap and volumetric streaming

8y exp

“Technical Director/Unity Lead who has shipped multiple Meta Quest immersive experiences and built custom Unity editor tooling to solve content-heavy pipeline constraints, enabling artists to push content directly into a Unity sandbox. Also prototyped a Unity restaurant simulation where an LLM drives NPC reasoning and state machines, using RAG and memory augmentation to reduce hallucinations and stuck behaviors.”
