Vetted Role-Based Access Control Professionals

Rakshak Shah

Screened

Intern Software Engineer specializing in cloud, AI, and systems programming

Seattle, WA1y exp

“AWS intern who significantly evolved a Drift Audit Service backend (Control Tower/EventBridge context) to make drift findings more explainable and reduce false positives by adding a verification step in Lambda before event ingestion. Demonstrates strong API design fundamentals in Python/FastAPI (contracts, idempotency, security controls) and careful rollout practices (feature flags, canaries, phased deployments).”

Dhruv Arora

Screened

Senior Generative AI Implementation Consultant specializing in RAG and agentic AI on cloud

Bay Area, CA3y exp

“LLM/RAG practitioner who built an AWS-based enterprise document search and summarization platform with RBAC and scaled it to 10K+ users, solving relevance issues via contextual chunking and hybrid retrieval. Also designed agentic workflows for a telecom forecast-validation use case using sub-agents, tool APIs, and strict context management, and has proven pre-sales influence (supported a $300K manufacturing deal with a roadmap-driven pitch).”

“Backend/data engineer with strong authorization and compliance-domain experience: led a phased migration from a simplistic role model to modern RBAC on a Python serverless stack (Auth0 + AWS Lambda/API Gateway), coordinating changes across 5 repos with extensive manual and automated validation. Previously built and operated custom ETL pipelines (Airflow + Groovy/Java on Spark/YARN/Hadoop) to normalize messy customer email/chat/voice data for NLP-driven financial compliance indicators, including complex email journaling metadata enrichment and large-scale remediation reprocessing after production bugs.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience building Python/Flask microservices using PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy, JWT auth, Docker, and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Strong in performance and scalability work—migrated heavy processing to Celery/Redis, tuned queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE and indexing, and delivered 50%+ API latency reduction. Also integrates AI workflows (OpenAI APIs) with batching/caching/fallbacks and has implemented multi-tenant data isolation patterns.”

Pavanika Thotakura

Screened

Senior Data Engineer specializing in cloud big data pipelines and real-time streaming

Seattle, WA6y exp

“Amazon data engineer who built a real-time fraud detection pipeline for AWS Lambda, tackling multi-region telemetry quality issues and scaling stream processing for billions of daily requests. Strong in production-grade data/ML workflows on AWS (EMR, Glue, Kinesis, SageMaker) with hands-on entity resolution and anomaly detection.”

“Backend/distributed-systems engineer with Uber experience building real-time telemetry and safety signal pipelines. Strong in Kafka-based event-driven architectures, low-latency processing under peak load, and production reliability via monitoring, retries, and fallback logic; has Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD deployment experience.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a large enterprise footprint (40 Power8/9 frames, 400+ AIX LPARs) with deep hands-on VIOS/HMC, NIM, performance tuning, and PowerHA recovery. Demonstrated high-impact incident response (avoided DB reboot saving ~4 hours; restored clustered services in <20 minutes) plus strong RCA and preventative remediation. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience building GitHub Actions pipelines and Terraform-managed AWS EKS/VPC/RDS/S3 environments.”

Likhitha Bethi

Screened

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, distributed systems, and applied AI

Stony Brook, NY4y exp

“Goldman Sachs engineer who owned end-to-end features for an internal onboarding and case management platform, spanning React/TypeScript UI, a GraphQL gateway, and Node + Spring WebFlux microservices. Built and operated a Kafka-based ingestion and search pipeline with DLQs, retries, idempotency, and strong observability, and improved developer experience via backward-compatible GraphQL API design and schema-driven documentation.”

Shloka Reddy

Screened

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in FinTech full-stack development

San Francisco Bay Area, CA3y exp

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer with experience spanning early-stage startup work at Rundoo and a higher-trust fintech environment at Wealthfront. They’ve owned complex permission-based household/account experiences end-to-end in Next.js/React, with strong instincts around data flow, UI correctness, performance, and production pragmatism.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who built a production-style multi-agent orchestrator for resume-to-recommendation workflows (PDF ingestion through screening and recommendations), emphasizing prompt tuning and strict JSON output contracts. Currently building a RAG application for an NGO using Airflow (DAGs + embeddings) and tackling messy, missing/imbalanced data; has hands-on retrieval stack experience (FAISS/HNSW, bge embeddings) and uses rigorous evaluation metrics for groundedness and hallucination control.”

Zheng Wu

Screened

Junior Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and cloud messaging

Mountain View, CA1y exp

“Data/ML engineer who has owned end-to-end systems across email deliverability/segmentation and production LLM apps. Built a Spark+Airflow segmentation engine that materially improved deliverability (99.9%) and open rates (>50%), and shipped a PDF-to-quiz RAG product using LangChain/Vertex AI/Chroma with strong guardrails and an eval loop that cut hallucinations to <5%.”
