Vetted SaaS Professionals

“Software engineer with experience across Goldman Sachs, BYU Broadcasting, Juniper Networks, and an edtech startup (Doubtnut), spanning data migrations, AWS-based media backends, and microservices observability. Built a Redis/ElastiCache caching layer in front of DynamoDB/S3 to improve media delivery latency and cost, and created an SEO indexing automation tool using the Google Search Console API that saved ~15–30 person-hours per day.”

“Director of Engineering at Proofpoint for 8 years, leading architecture and integration of Java microservices within a detection platform. Demonstrates pragmatic delivery leadership—incurring short-term cost to meet launch deadlines, then systematically paying down technical debt and optimizing AWS spend—plus a disciplined, long-horizon approach to backward-compatible API/schema evolution across many dependent services.”

“Engineering leader (12+ years Director, 17 years lead) focused on developer productivity and platform/framework work across Oracle, PlayStation, Workday, and CafePress. Notable for building distributed teams from scratch and delivering high-impact platform architecture—e.g., re-architected PlayStation’s upload pipeline to support 500GB–5TB submissions using browser-to-AWS chunked uploads with SNS/SQS and deduplication/resume support.”

“Product/technology leader with deep security and cloud infrastructure expertise who drove a major shift from hardware-based networking/security appliances to cloud-native capabilities, growing cloud revenue from $0 to $400M in 4.5 years. Led an innovative eBPF-based approach (“precryption”) to enable lightweight cloud TLS interception/decryption, and has hands-on coding interest (recent Rust work on a personal cybersecurity identity/trust platform).”

“Engineering leader (Director of Development) with hands-on cloud and product experience who builds business-aligned technology roadmaps and scales teams. Delivered an enterprise cloud-migration enabler at UHG by implementing AD authentication and Terraform-based IaC for custom VM images while meeting 90-day InfoSec patch/rotation requirements, and drove a 20% lift in user consumption/retention by designing an interactive branded media portal experience for Sunkist.”

“Strategic enterprise Customer Success leader from Atlassian Cloud managing a >$10M ARR, ~33k-user account end-to-end, driving measurable adoption (+12%), services expansion (+30%), and strong satisfaction (4.5/5). Experienced leading cross-functional deployments of AI agents (Rovo) and Forge-based integrations, and translating enterprise governance needs (e.g., RBAC at scale) into roadmap-shaping product requirements.”

“Robotics engineer who worked on a lunar rover program, building a simulation environment that mirrored real hardware interfaces and incorporated moon-terrain slip/friction modeling validated against a physical “moon yard.” Also integrated an ML-based munition X-ray inspection system via REST APIs, deploying and scaling inference on Azure with Kubernetes plus Prometheus monitoring, load balancing, and self-healing reliability mechanisms.”

“Entrepreneurially driven technical leader seeking to partner with a founder/business plan owner to provide technical expertise. Helped drive Wiser's expansion into Europe by evaluating acquisition targets' technical estates and making the recommendation that was chosen. Applied lean, high-leverage product thinking at Nabis on a two-sided marketplace, delivering buyer value with a simple algorithm and later adding paid boosting for brands.”

“Enterprise technology executive (CRO/GM/CEO) with 27+ years as a P&L owner across major global services providers (IBM, Unisys, Virtusa, Cognizant). Recently led a metrics-driven turnaround as CEO of Mastech Infotrellis after integrating three acquisitions and rebuilding GTM. Now exploring an AI Governance/Compliance/Risk-focused venture, potentially via acquiring and reorienting an existing governance business toward AI.”

“Senior engineering leader with experience at Cisco, Amazon, and startup Shopkick, operating at high scale (e.g., Secure Web Gateway handling ~40M QPS). Known for measurable impact across reliability and cost (85% efficacy improvement; Datadog spend cut from ~$500k/month to ~$15k/month) and for leading complex platform modernization (1-year monolith-to-microservices/event-driven migration with zero customer impact) plus compatibility-focused API design that cut device onboarding from a month to a day.”

“Engineering leader (Octane) who drove business-aligned technology roadmaps and scaled a fully distributed engineering org from 35 to 150 in 9 months using a rigorous ownership model (OARP). Led a greenfield architecture for a new vertical (AWS Lambda/ECS, Python/JS/React) that delivered an MVP in 3 months while cutting per-service cloud OPEX from ~$300+ to ~$20/month, with 15+ years of remote-first leadership experience.”
