Vetted Performance Tuning Professionals

Sridhar Duggireddy

Screened

Executive Technology Leader specializing in Cloud Platforms, DevOps, and AI/ML

Tampa, FL21y exp

“Early-stage startup CTO helping build an AI-powered parenting assistant app with features spanning advice, shopping, task management, and inventory management. The team is currently testing an MVP with their network while the candidate simultaneously learns the seed/Series fundraising process through Connectd and early investor conversations.”

Rangel Koli

Screened

Entry-level Software Engineer specializing in backend and cloud systems

New York City, NY1y exp

“Backend engineer who built and scaled a zero-to-one social product backend using Supabase (Postgres, Edge Functions, Auth, Realtime) plus Neo4j for graph-based friend recommendations. Demonstrates strong production rigor: staged rollouts with metrics, incident rollback/postmortems, and complex schema refactors using expand-contract/dual-write with reconciliation and feature flags. Notably proactive about edge cases like geo-boundary realtime delivery and idempotent retry safety.”

Mark Wlodawski

Screened

Senior Unity Developer specializing in AI/LLM systems and multiplayer VR

Orlando, FL11y exp

“Backend/data engineer focused on AWS-native Python systems: built a FastAPI microservice on ECS/Fargate serving real-time analytics at millions of daily requests with strong reliability (OAuth2/JWT, retries/timeouts, correlation IDs) and autoscaling. Also delivered Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines to curated S3 Parquet/Athena with schema evolution + data quality controls, owned Airflow pipeline incidents, and has a track record of measurable performance and cost optimizations (e.g., ~80%+ query latency reduction; reduced logging/NAT/Fargate spend).”

Prudhvi Avula

Screened

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java, React, and distributed systems

Austin, TX7y exp

“Implementation and AI workflow engineer who has owned customer deployments end-to-end for messaging/integration platforms and also built production-oriented LLM systems. Stands out for combining stakeholder-facing delivery leadership with hands-on experience in Kafka/MongoDB integrations, RAG/agent architectures, and resilient document-processing pipelines with strong validation and fallback controls.”

“UNIX operations-focused candidate with hands-on AIX/Solaris troubleshooting and Bash automation experience, including resolving a production connectivity outage caused by a host table IP misconfiguration. Has supported a re-platform migration of a home-grown application by working directly with developers and running parallel testing prior to cutover; no direct IBM Power (VIOS/HMC/LPAR) or NIM/PowerHA experience.”

“AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer focused on production Linux environments, building secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub) to deploy Dockerized services to AWS ECS and automating infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation. Strong in operational troubleshooting and scaling (CloudWatch-driven performance remediation, Auto Scaling/ELB, multi-AZ HA patterns), but explicitly does not have IBM Power/AIX or PowerHA/HACMP experience.”

SAI PRASHANTH

Screened

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and FinTech

USA5y exp

“Software engineer/product-minded builder who owns customer-facing products end-to-end and ships in 1–2 week increments using CI/CD, automated testing, and feature flags. Built a TypeScript/React/Node platform that cut page load times by 40% and scaled to 3x concurrent users, and designed RabbitMQ-based microservices with Prometheus/Grafana monitoring. Also delivered an internal real-time support analytics dashboard that reduced response times by 30%.”

Chandini Sattineni

Screened

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack web, Go microservices, and AI integrations

Remote, USA5y exp

“Backend/LLM engineer who ships production internal tooling end-to-end: automated data-request processing with monitoring-driven improvements (better error diagnostics and lower latency via query/index tuning). Also built a RAG-based internal Q&A system over company docs and operational logs with guardrails (similarity thresholds, fallbacks, response limits) and an eval loop using real user queries and human review to drive prompt/retrieval changes.”

Omar Rahmoun

Screened

Senior Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and AI platforms

Chicago, IL5y exp

“Senior engineer transitioning into a lead engineer role who is actively overseeing 5 developers and championing an AI-first development culture. Stands out for a highly structured approach to AI-assisted software delivery, including context engineering, phased planning, multi-agent orchestration, and deliberate hallucination mitigation rather than 'vibe coding.'”

“Data engineer with ~4 years of experience building Python-based data ingestion/processing services and real-time streaming pipelines (Kafka/PubSub + Spark Structured Streaming). Has deployed containerized data applications on Kubernetes with GitLab CI/Jenkins pipelines and applied GitOps to cut deployment time ~40% while reducing config drift. Also supported a legacy on-prem data warehouse/backend migration to GCP using phased migration and parallel validation to meet strict reliability/SLA needs.”

“Infrastructure/platform engineer with hands-on experience building and operating AWS Kubernetes environments with Terraform, including blue/green upgrade strategies and observability (Grafana/Prometheus). Modernized a mission-critical PostgreSQL system from legacy Sun SPARC hardware to x86/KVM with SAN and then redesigned it for load-balanced HA failover, and has operated hybrid on-prem (vSphere) to AWS connectivity using BGP/VPN and later Direct Connect, including post-incident improvements to centralized network config management.”
