Vetted Serverless Architecture Professionals

“Backend engineer who built a serverless AWS Lambda microservices backend for a parenting assistance mobile app, including a personalized recommendation system optimized to sub-500ms via precomputed scoring and DynamoDB caching. Demonstrates strong production pragmatism: CloudWatch-driven performance tuning (provisioned concurrency), zero-downtime phased schema migrations, and robustness patterns like optimistic locking and request deduplication. Also led a refactor of an LLM RAG pipeline to improve retrieval quality and cut latency from ~5s to ~3s.”

“Cloud-focused engineer experienced deploying and stabilizing complex production systems that span APIs, infrastructure, and automated workflows, with a strong observability and safe-release mindset (feature flags/canaries/rollbacks). Has hands-on, customer-facing incident leadership, including executing DR regional failover during an AWS us-east-1 outage to maintain service and reportedly save a client ~$10M.”

“Quant Data Engineer at ASX who is also building FinishKit, a full-stack SaaS that scans AI-generated codebases for bugs and production-readiness issues. Combines React/TypeScript, Supabase/serverless, Fly.io, and Postgres with strong product instincts, rapid iteration, and prior experience building secure multi-tenant data and dashboard systems across enterprise teams.”

“Built and deployed an AI-powered insurance claims fraud platform end-to-end using Java/Spring Boot, Kafka, OpenAI, pgvector, and AWS EKS. Stands out for combining LLM/RAG architecture with production-grade scalability and observability, delivering measurable impact including 62% less manual review, 40% better fraud precision, 37% higher throughput, and 99.95% uptime.”

“At Evoke Tech, built a production LLM "Testbench" to quickly compare LLMs/embedding models and RAG strategies (semantic, hybrid BM25, re-ranking, HyDE, query expansion) to select optimal architectures for different client needs. Also developed a multi-agent, multimodal (voice/text) RAG system for live catalog retrieval and safe product recommendations using LangGraph/LangChain with LangSmith monitoring, and regularly translated PM/UX goals into concrete agent behaviors via demos and flowcharts.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered personalized client engagement assistant in the financial domain, balancing real-time recommendations with strict privacy/compliance requirements. Demonstrates strong MLOps/LLMOps depth (Airflow + MLflow, containerized microservices, drift monitoring) and a privacy-by-design approach validated in collaboration with risk and compliance teams.”

“Backend/platform engineer with payments domain experience, having owned core services for MasterCard’s global card tokenization and settlement platform. Built Django/Celery microservices plus Kafka/Redis real-time fraud streaming, delivering 27% latency improvement, sub-100ms fraud checks, and 18% fewer false positives. Strong DevOps/IaC background across Kubernetes, AWS ECS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and GitOps practices for high-scale transaction systems (including UPI at PhonePe).”

“Software engineer with Oracle experience deploying a BioCatch fraud-detection integration into HDFC Bank’s core banking platform, using phased rollout and real-time monitoring and reporting ~80% fraud reduction. Also built a modular speech-to-text product (VocalSense AI) achieving ~95% accuracy and has strong production incident response skills (15-minute recovery) plus AWS serverless API hardening for messy inputs.”

“Full-stack product engineer with hands-on ownership across React/TypeScript, serverless backends, and Postgres, combining technical depth with strong UX instincts. Stands out for measurable impact: improved a slow query from seconds to under 200ms and increased onboarding completion by about 25%, while also building reusable platform primitives and scalable multi-tenant configuration systems.”

“Backend/ML-focused engineer with experience spanning fintech, sales enablement, and medtech, including a Capital One capstone and a Singapore medtech startup internship. Stands out for owning end-to-end AI/backend systems, from a GenAI sales pitch platform that cut prep time by 50% to an ultrasound-guidance MVP for non-expert operators in a highly ambiguous domain.”

“Built and owned major parts of a real-time distributed AI fraud-detection pipeline (ingestion, inference microservice integration, and automated action layer), optimizing latency and observability and reducing false positives by ~35%. Understands ROS/ROS2 concepts (nodes/topics/services) and planned hands-on ramp-up via ROS2 pub/sub exercises and Gazebo simulation, but has not worked on physical robots or ROS in production.”

“Backend engineer with strong AWS/CI/CD experience (multi-repo deployments, Lambda + core app, immutable ECR and image promotion) and a published master’s thesis building an ML framework for Solar PV energy prediction and CO2 reduction impact modeling using ensemble and meta-learning approaches benchmarked against SAM.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG knowledge assistant integrating internal docs, wikis, and ticket histories to reduce tribal-knowledge dependency and repetitive questions. Emphasizes reliability via grounding + a validation layer, and achieved major latency gains (>50%) through vector index optimization, caching, quantization, and selective re-validation. Comfortable orchestrating end-to-end LLM/data workflows with Airflow, Prefect, and Dagster, including monitoring and alerting.”
