Vetted Nginx Professionals

“Built and deployed ForensicLLM, a local domain-specific LLaMA-3.1-8B model for digital forensic investigators using RAFT + RAG over 1000+ curated research papers, with citation-aware responses and rigorous evaluation (BERTScore/G-Eval). Deployed via vLLM and Docker and validated through a chatbot survey with 80+ participants; published at DFRWS EU 2025.”

“Engineering/CTO-style leader with hands-on architecture experience who has driven end-to-end modernization of a manual antiques auction operation—building centralized web-accessible data systems, digitizing historical records via OCR/freelancers, and defining profitability-focused KPIs with an eye toward predictive modeling. Emphasizes provider-agnostic, containerized SaaS architecture to avoid vendor lock-in and has experience scaling a small engineering team with ownership-based culture and lightweight processes.”

“Cloud/DevOps-focused engineer with hands-on experience building Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications deployed to AKS, including security scanning, approvals, versioned artifacts, and rollback. Also implemented Terraform-based IaC for Azure (VNets/subnets/NSGs/AKS) with modular design, remote state/locking, and drift detection; resolved a real deployment outage caused by an Azure RBAC permission change.”

“Frontend engineer with experience building an orthodontics-focused IoT web product, including a complex React + TypeScript 3D treatment viewer with a layered architecture (data layer plus multiple canvas asset managers). Has applied performance techniques like caching and Web Workers to keep the UI responsive under heavy computation, and shipped monetization features such as payments and coupon/discount flows with structured QA rollout.”

“Graduate-school lab engineer who built and owned the final architecture of a Microservices Hub that integrates REST APIs, issues API keys, monitors 10+ Linux servers, and visualizes service dependencies via a topology graph. Strong in bridging legacy and modern stacks (Dockerized and non-Dockerized services like Apache/screen) using deep Linux/networking knowledge, plus practical real-time audio streaming for STT/TTS and experience mentoring others.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience building a legal-tech SaaS onboarding/invitation system end-to-end using Remix/React/TypeScript, Node, Prisma/Postgres, and transactional email (Resend). Emphasizes reliability and operability (idempotent actions, state-machine workflows, layered validation, migrations, logging/metrics/tracing) and has deployed both on AWS (ECS/Fargate, RDS, CloudWatch, SQS) and Dockerized infrastructure (DigitalOcean + Nginx + TLS/Cloudflare).”

“Founder building a hiring-focused startup who has engaged with venture investors but is prioritizing direct end-user traction through email marketing and other outreach before returning to raise a seed round. Has experience working with startups that have already raised seed funding and demonstrates a structured approach to market validation (customer conversations, landing pages) prior to heavy development.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning FastAPI microservices and large-scale data pipelines. Has delivered containerized Python services on EKS with Terraform/Helm/GitHub Actions, implemented robust auth/secrets practices, and owned ETL reliability (Glue/S3/Redshift) including incident response and idempotent reruns. Demonstrated SQL tuning on 50M-record ETL workloads to remove SLA misses and improve reliability.”

“Built and deployed production LLM applications including a natural-language-to-read-only-SQL system focused on ambiguity handling and query safety (schema whitelisting, intent validation, confidence checks, deterministic execution). Experienced with LangChain-based, modular agent orchestration and RAG document QA for large PDFs, with a metrics-driven testing/evaluation approach and cross-functional delivery with marketing on an AI content recommendation/search tool.”

“Software engineer (Lance Soft Engineering) who built a Java/gRPC real-time request tracking system supporting ~20K simultaneous requests, using Kafka event streaming and PostgreSQL to improve transparency and cut support requests by 35%. Demonstrates strong production operations skills—resolved live latency spikes with Kafka async messaging (+48% throughput) and executed safe migrations using parallel runs, staging validation, and blue-green deployments.”
