Vetted Performance Testing Professionals

“Hands-on Engineering Manager at Hyper-Reach modernizing a mission-critical emergency alerts platform used by county emergency directors and first responders during live disasters. He led a phased migration from a 25-year-old JSP monolith to React, shipped in 5 months instead of an estimated 1.5 years, with zero regression incidents and clear customer and sales impact.”

“Senior engineering leader with 8+ years of hands-on and people leadership experience across data-intensive enterprise platforms. He has led legacy-to-AWS modernization for mission-critical identity data workflows at Deep Sync, built and scaled teams rapidly, and previously helped create a 0-to-1 enterprise analytics platform at Kantar that later scaled to handle 10x more data with major performance gains.”

“Geospatial/simulation specialist who built and shipped high-fidelity 3D visual databases for a DoD-used simulation/render engine, owning the full pipeline from dataset selection and ingestion (imagery/LiDAR/OSM/elevation) through performance testing and delivery. Implemented Python-based AI scripts to auto-detect terrain features and drive automated 3D scene population, and has experience with authoritative client-server synchronization (DIS) plus VR headset performance constraints (Varjo/Oculus/HoloLens at 90Hz).”

“Open-source JavaScript library contributor/maintainer focused on performance and usability—uses profiling and user feedback to optimize large-dataset processing and modernize abstractions. Refactored a nested-callback event handling system into an observer-pattern dispatcher with batched event queues, reducing CPU usage and improving maintainability; also handles community-reported crashes by reproducing issues, fixing memory leaks, and updating docs.”

“ML/NLP practitioner who built a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system for large financial and operational document sets using Sentence-Transformers (all-mpnet-base-v2) and a vector DB (e.g., Pinecone), with a strong focus on retrieval evaluation and chunking strategy optimization. Experienced in entity resolution (rules + embedding similarity with type-specific thresholds) and in productionizing scalable Python data workflows using Airflow/Dagster and Spark.”

“Hands-on backend/AI engineer who solo-built two production Claude-based agent systems: an internal Slack RAG over Confluence/Jira/code/regulatory docs and a HIPAA/GDPR-compliant patient chatbot with embedding guardrails and expert-in-the-loop evals. Also architected a multi-region patient portal + microservices platform with Terraform/CI-CD and federated gateways, delivering major onboarding automation and strong reliability wins (PgBouncer, chaos/perf testing).”

“Built and deployed an end-to-end product that brings a research-paper approach into production for large-scale time-series clustering, with attention to partitioning, latency, and scalability. Also designed a Python-based backend validation service (comparing outputs to database ground truths) and handled production reliability issues by reproducing dataset-specific crashes and hardening corner-case behavior with client-friendly errors.”

Mid-level QA/SDET Automation Tester specializing in UI, API, mobile, and cloud testing

Houston, TX5y exp

“SDET focused on end-to-end quality for web applications, owning UI/API/regression automation from framework design through CI/CD integration. Notably prevented a production payment/checkout incident by adding API validations that caught incorrect tax calculations (rounding logic) during CI before release, and has a track record of stabilizing flaky Cypress tests via robust selector and wait strategies.”

Venkat Palaparthi

Senior Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and secure enterprise platforms

Dallas, TX6y exp

“Full-stack engineer with strong production ownership in banking/identity & entitlements systems, building Spring Boot + Postgres/Redis services and React dashboards, then deploying on AWS EKS with Jenkins CI/CD. Demonstrated impact through reduced authorization latency and fewer access-related support tickets, plus strong observability and reliability practices (CloudWatch, tracing, autoscaling, Kafka pipelines with DLQs and reconciliation).”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience spanning React/TypeScript frontends, Cloudflare serverless RAG systems, SQL-heavy backend redesigns, and computer vision workflows. He has shipped practical automation and reliability improvements with measurable impact, including cutting a video-validation reporting process from a week to 2 days and fixing a memory-heavy shipment system before Black Friday to support 30K+ orders successfully.”

“Backend/web API engineer with hands-on experience deploying .NET Core APIs to Azure App Service and stabilizing production systems through disciplined log-driven troubleshooting, environment configuration management, and SQL performance tuning (execution plans, query rewrites, indexing). Has also debugged cross-layer incidents involving DB locks and network latency, and modifies Python/XML automation scripts to meet customer-specific requirements while improving logging and performance.”

“Software engineer experienced owning internal, customer-facing dashboards and internal ops tools end-to-end, emphasizing fast iteration without sacrificing stability (CI/CD, automated tests, feature flags, monitoring). Built a TypeScript/React role-based dashboard backed by Java Spring Boot and has hands-on microservices experience with RabbitMQ, including production hardening with retries, dead-letter queues, logging, and health checks.”

“QA automation engineer who owned an end-to-end automated regression suite for a PlayStation digital store flow (login through checkout/payment), building a hybrid POM/data-driven framework from scratch with Selenium/TestNG/Cucumber and also using Playwright/TypeScript and Cypress. Integrated the suite into Jenkins CI/CD with nightly runs and reporting, improved coverage (happy + negative paths), and reduced release risk by catching critical issues like session timeout and transaction/payment defects before production.”

“QA engineer with Citibank experience owning mobile automation and cross-platform validation (Android/iOS), including push notifications, RBAC, and backend API/data sync checks. Demonstrates strong Cypress/JavaScript E2E expertise—stabilizing CI-flaky React tests via cy.intercept—and builds pragmatic GitLab CI pipelines with smoke/regression gating plus rich reporting (Cypress Dashboard, Slack).”
