Vetted Observability Professionals

“Backend engineer who built Flask-based internal APIs supporting GenAI-driven provisioning/diagnostics (Outpost/AWS Outposts-like environment), with deep hands-on optimization across Postgres/SQLAlchemy (2s to <200ms endpoint improvement). Experienced integrating ML/LLM workflows via AWS SageMaker and Bedrock, and designing multi-tenant isolation plus high-throughput Redis-backed background task pipelines (minutes to seconds).”

“Full-stack engineer with experience at Zoho and Amazon who has owned production systems end-to-end, including a monolith-to-microservices migration using Kafka and Cassandra that improved search latency ~25% and increased throughput without data loss. Also built a hackathon project (Buildwise) into a sold product for a construction company (AI-driven document compliance checks) and shipped an IoT-based parking availability MVP in 3 weeks.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer (5+ years) with Shopify experience integrating LLM/RAG workflows into production APIs. Owned a Python TensorFlow Serving inference pipeline connected to Java microservices via gRPC, optimizing tail latency at ~10k concurrent load and improving retrieval relevance with embedding and evaluation work. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + GitOps/CI/CD background, including monolith-to-microservices migrations and event-driven streaming patterns.”

“Master’s student at UC San Diego who built an LLM-powered healthcare chatbot for patient history-taking and sepsis-related output, using a Node.js backend integrated with FastAPI for RAG/LLM interactions and a Flutter client. Also has healthcare AI startup experience deploying on AWS (ECS/Terraform/Docker) and implementing Kubernetes autoscaling to improve efficiency and reduce costs, with strong iterative evaluation in collaboration with a physician.”

“Backend engineer who built and iterated a secure, multi-tenant RAG system over a large document corpus, emphasizing strict RBAC/ACL isolation, hybrid retrieval (vector+keyword), reranking, and strong observability to balance relevance, latency, and cost. Also led production refactors/migrations using strangler + feature flags/dual writes and has experience catching subtle real-world failure modes (including in a sensor calibration optimization pipeline).”

“Backend/data engineer from ASML who modernized a legacy SAS-based statistical processing system into a cloud-native AWS platform (Lambda/FastAPI, Step Functions/EventBridge, Glue, S3/RDS) with strong reliability and data-quality practices. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (RDS query reduced from 90+ seconds to <5 seconds) and hands-on incident ownership for production ETL pipelines.”

“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.”

“Backend engineer with experience at Amazon building an API-driven service (APS) for large-scale prompt optimization jobs using AWS Step Functions, Batch/Fargate, DynamoDB, and S3, emphasizing idempotency, observability, and secure execution boundaries. Also led a multi-tenant enterprise policy/configuration backend refactor at MAMIT Cyber with versioned schemas, shadow writes, feature-flagged rollout, and PostgreSQL RLS-based tenant isolation.”

“Backend engineer from Palantir who built and productionized an enterprise LLM-based document intelligence/search platform, evolving it into a hybrid lexical+vector retrieval system. Emphasizes reliability and cost control via strict LLM gating, robust fallback paths, and evaluation frameworks (e.g., MMLU/BLEU), plus disciplined migration practices (feature flags, dual-writes, shadow reads) to ship changes safely at scale.”

“Senior growth/partnership leader operating at the intersection of cloud, AI, and creator/gaming ecosystems. Has driven >20% QoQ revenue growth and double-digit user growth via ecosystem partnerships, design-partner pilots, and referral loops, and reports shortening sales cycles 25–30% through a strong telecom/enterprise network (Verizon, Dish, T-Mobile, Scotiabank; earlier Cisco/Ericsson).”

“Software/cloud engineer with PwC experience deploying a nationwide Australian Government Salesforce labor licensing platform used by 200k+ professionals, emphasizing safe integration, CI/CD, and UAT-driven quality improvements (40% defect reduction). Also built a Python/FastAPI RAG system with the U.S. Army to convert CONOP documents into risk assessments, adding human-in-the-loop and provenance features to address operator trust concerns.”

“Built a production LLM/RAG assistant for insurance/health claims agents that ingests 100–200 page patient PDFs via OCR (migrated from local Tesseract to Azure Document Intelligence) and delivers grounded claim detail retrieval plus summaries with PII/PHI guardrails. Experienced orchestrating large workflows with Celery worker pipelines and AWS Step Functions (S3-triggered, Fargate-based batch inference/accuracy aggregation), and collaborates closely with non-technical SMEs (claims agents/nurses) through shadowing, iterative demos, and SME-defined evaluation.”

“Former Cisco professional who successfully pitched and got funding for adding virtualization to access routers to enable third-party application development, framing the opportunity with clear revenue upside and risk management. Highly interested in AI—especially agent-based development—and believes it lowers the barrier to building and shipping new products with small, high-caliber teams.”

“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.”

“LLM infrastructure engineer who built a production-critical real-time personalization and memory retrieval system for a user-facing product, adding <100ms P99 latency while improving relevance ~20–25% and holding SLA through 3x traffic. Experienced designing tiered retrieval backends (Redis + vector store), deploying on Kubernetes with autoscaling/circuit breakers, and running rigorous observability, incident response, and agent evaluation (shadow traffic, A/B tests, regression/replay).”

“Full-stack engineer with deep Next.js App Router + TypeScript experience who has shipped and owned production features in a fashion/wardrobe/resale domain. Demonstrated measurable impact across the stack: +25% engagement, 30% faster load times, 40% fewer errors, plus durable Temporal workflows and Postgres analytics/query tuning for real-time dashboards.”
