Vetted Networking Professionals

“Amazon experience integrating LLM-powered chat automation into Amazon Connect contact-center workflows, taking prototypes to production with compliance-minded guardrails, schema/policy validation, and robust fallbacks. Regularly supports rollout and adoption via developer workshops, integration guides, and customer calls, with strong production triage and observability practices.”

“Infrastructure/operations engineer with hands-on IBM Power/AIX administration (LPAR/DLPAR, HMC, RMC) and PowerHA cluster failover experience, plus modern DevOps tooling across CI/CD, Kubernetes/Helm, and IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible). Emphasizes controlled change management, drift prevention via Git-as-source-of-truth, and observability practices using Prometheus/Grafana.”

“Engineering leader at Bayer Crop Science leading a Core Platform team responsible for widely used open-source TypeScript/React and mobile SDKs (npm/GitHub) embedded across 10M+ monthly active devices. Known for shipping high-performance, backward-compatible developer frameworks with rigorous release discipline (bi-weekly releases, 99.99% uptime, long streaks of zero breaking changes) and major DX wins (onboarding cut to minutes, support tickets down 82%).”

“Cloud/platform engineering lead with deep Azure AKS and SRE/observability expertise who migrated an EY enterprise SaaS platform from monolith to cloud-native microservices, supporting 10+ products and ~$200M annual revenue with ~99.9% uptime. Also building an open-source Kubernetes-native AI agent orchestration platform (AgScale) in Go with CRDs/controllers, policy/tool governance, token budgets, and production-grade monitoring.”

“Co-founded a Digital Loss Prevention (DLP) startup and raised $6M in seed funding by showcasing a controlled, laptop-based technology demo. Post-funding, drove MVP planning and execution by sequencing operations and assembling a team to build an appliance MVP, using an iterative build/evaluate/visualize approach.”

“Technical Program Manager and one of three internal "founders" of HP’s Hardware-as-a-Service home printer subscription initiative, spanning DTC shipping, simplified setup, ink replenishment, and warranty coverage. Led roadmap definition/execution, scaled delivery rapidly to 15+ scrum teams (including vendors) with SAFe-like coordination and shared engineering standards, and drove key architecture trade-offs (building an interim subscription management service) to accelerate time-to-market by about a year.”

“Startup CEO/founder (9 years) who built an AI data assistant and ran cross-functional GTM + engineering prioritization using OKRs and KPI-driven sales experimentation. Previously worked in finance on M&A due diligence for multi-billion-dollar transactions, including hands-on NDA/confidentiality work; seeks roles at $250k+ depending on equity and fit.”

“Gameplay engineer with hands-on experience across Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, owning systems from level streaming/teleportation to motion-matched character movement. Has shipped/implemented multiplayer features including GAS-based replication with prediction/reconciliation and a deterministic lockstep runner using fixed-point math. Strong at diagnosing hard-to-repro physics issues and balancing performance/feel (e.g., mobile voxel A* pathfinding at 60 FPS, Chaos destruction tuned to avoid trapping players).”

“Robotics software engineer at Tesla who led end-to-end development of a distributed real-time control and orchestration platform for autonomous systems. Deep production ROS 2 experience (nav2, slam_toolbox), with demonstrated wins reducing end-to-end latency 25–30%+ via profiling, multithreaded executors, and QoS tuning, plus simulation and deployment at scale using Gazebo/Webots, Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD.”

“Built a production LLM-powered analyst assistant at Discern Security to speed up SOC investigations using a RAG pipeline over security vendor documentation (Python PDF ingestion, vector search). Demonstrates deep, security-critical LLM engineering: structure-aware chunking with custom table parsing, grounded/cited responses, prompt-injection defenses, and post-generation validation, validated via golden datasets and adversarial testing; tool is used daily by analysts.”

“Cloud infrastructure/product engineer with end-to-end ownership of cloud-native storage/observability products, including taking an internal CMS to Google Cloud Marketplace and scaling to ~40,000 deployments. Strong in Kubernetes-based platforms (Operators, microservices, RabbitMQ) and performance/scalability work (e.g., 200% cluster capacity increase) plus internal tooling that materially improved SRE/QA debugging and release velocity.”

“Engineering leader with experience defining solutions from business requirements through detailed specifications and implementation, emphasizing cost-aware technology selection. Has led architectural changes including adding IBM Cloud alongside AWS for budget reasons and integrating caching/messaging to improve availability and performance, and describes scaling distributed teams via experienced DevOps/QA hires and structured evaluation.”

“Customer support professional with Scrum Master and Product Owner certifications who has handled high-stakes account security incidents (including locking down an account to protect over $200k) and troubleshot live data feed integrations (XML/socket) by identifying IP whitelisting mismatches. Emphasizes transparent stakeholder communication, escalation, and building internal wiki documentation to prevent repeat issues.”

“Microsoft cloud/infra engineer with 5+ years supporting enterprise Azure environments, specializing in security-focused networking (private endpoints, DNS) and production troubleshooting across Azure Front Door/App Gateway WAF/AKS. Has implemented posture improvements via Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, and RBAC tightening, and also designs secure AWS agent/scanner integrations and modern EKS/GitHub Actions/Secrets Manager observability-enabled SDK rollouts.”

“Backend/LLM engineer who built a production-critical Amazon Bedrock + RAG correction and compliance layer for employee communications, integrating tightly with existing Spring Boot/AWS microservices to reduce manual review while keeping outputs explainable and auditable. Also designed an event-driven system processing 10M+ events/day (SQS/Lambda/DynamoDB/Elasticsearch) and handled on-call incidents with strong observability and reliability patterns (idempotency, retries, hotspot mitigation).”
