Vetted Observability Professionals

“Built and operationalized intelligent pricing infrastructure for live event ticketing at StubHub, emphasizing iterative prototyping with traders and production-grade monitoring (Splunk, API/data-stream thresholding). Also partnered with customer-facing teams to drive adoption and helped win a significant consignment revenue-share deal by demoing the system to the Philadelphia 76ers and quantifying pricing efficacy and business impact.”

“Backend/ML systems engineer with experience at SDSC, UCSD, and Media.net, building production semantic dataset/model discovery using embeddings + Solr KNN and LLM-based intent/reranking at 5M+ dataset scale. Emphasizes offline/online separation for predictable serving, has delivered measurable gains (23% retrieval accuracy, 38% latency reduction) and helped secure a $3M+ NSF grant.”

“Data Analyst at U.S. Cellular who built production LLM solutions, including a Tableau-embedded chatbot that converts natural language questions into Oracle SQL and returns actionable KPI insights for non-technical users. Also authored MAD-CTI, a multi-agent LLM system for dark web hacker forum threat intelligence (published in IEEE Access) that outperformed single-agent approaches by 14%.”

“Bank of America engineer/product owner who built a real-time transaction insights and spending categorization platform using React/TypeScript and Spring Boot microservices with Kafka. Deep experience in event-driven architectures, performance tuning at peak banking loads, and reliability patterns (SLOs, observability, feature flags, DLQs). Also created an internal monitoring/alerting tool adopted across engineering and ops, cutting incident response time by 40%+.”

“ML engineer/data scientist with M&T Bank experience who built a production reinforcement-learning portfolio analytics tool for wealth management, emphasizing near real-time performance via batch/serving separation and robust generalization through stress-scenario backtesting and RL regularization. Strong MLOps background (Airflow, Grafana, MLflow) and proven ability to drive adoption with non-technical stakeholders using KPI alignment and SHAP-based explanations.”

“Engineering leader from Blackline who has repeatedly rescued and delivered high-visibility products by resetting roadmaps, tightening execution (better specs/estimation), and accelerating team velocity. Scaled a distributed org from ~20 to ~40 engineers by building a new India team with strong hiring rubrics and governance-as-code/SDLC consistency. Also modernized legacy systems into microservices (Kafka/Kubernetes/Apigee) and drove hackathon-to-production innovation using Google Vertex AI.”

“Built a production LLM-driven personalization microservice for realtor.com using LangChain/LangSmith with an MCP tool layer and RAG to generate schema-constrained ranked listings in real time, replacing a rule-based engine and improving engagement/lead conversion. Also owned an ambiguous cross-channel identity initiative, implementing an identity graph via Twilio Unify with required SDK and data-warehouse integration.”

“Backend engineer with PayPal experience building a high-reliability onboarding API platform (Java/Spring Boot) integrating KYC/compliance and serving 1M+ users annually. Also shipped an internal LLM-driven developer tool that automates PR review insights and OpenAPI documentation with rigorous evaluation, schema-bound guardrails, and production observability.”

“20-year technology builder with ~8 years in healthcare AI, currently at Keycentrix modernizing a legacy pharmacy solutions business. Shipped an OCR MVP within days and delivered a rebate-based product generating ~$50K/month, leveraging Claude/LangGraph agentic automation to replace work typically requiring a much larger engineering team. Developing a "Longevity AI Copilot" B2B platform that synthesizes research, labs, and wearable data into personalized longevity protocols for HNW and corporate wellness markets; concept validated but not yet incorporated or funded.”

“DevOps Customer Engineer (CircleCI) with hands-on experience supporting enterprise customers through a major security incident (token revocation/secret rotation) and advising on secure CI/CD practices. Experienced in integrating security tooling into pipelines (e.g., Snyk via CircleCI Orbs), troubleshooting complex CircleCI Server/Kubernetes-like deployments using logs/metrics/traces, and running structured multi-customer onboardings tracked in Jira/Salesforce.”

“Data engineer who has owned end-to-end production pipelines ingesting ~500GB/day from APIs/databases/Kafka into an S3 data lake (Glue/Spark) with Airflow-orchestrated Great Expectations quality gates. Built resilient external data collection systems with idempotent jobs, exponential-backoff retries, raw data capture, and backfills; also shipped Snowflake-backed APIs with caching, versioned endpoints, and backward-compatible data contracts. Led an early-stage Azure data platform build with phased delivery and GitHub Actions CI/CD, resolving schema-mismatch incidents quickly without downstream corruption.”
