Vetted Site Reliability Engineering Professionals
Pre-screened and vetted.
Staff-level Software Engineer specializing in LLM inference infrastructure and scalable model serving
Russell Wong
Senior Software Engineer specializing in large-scale backend reliability and media platforms
“Backend/data engineer with experience on large-scale consumer platforms (Google and Meta), building high-traffic Python microservices (REST/gRPC) on Kubernetes with strong reliability/observability practices. Delivered AWS container-based deployments with CI/CD and IaC, and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines on S3 with schema evolution and data quality controls; also has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (15% latency reduction) and incident ownership for batch pipelines.”
Jacob Zimmerman
Director-level Engineering Platform leader specializing in cloud infrastructure, SRE, and SaaS compute
“Longtime early-stage startup operator (since 1998) now running a solo consulting practice focused on SaaS infrastructure and platform strategy. Former angel investor in a medical information SaaS company that went public, with a strong focus on making prototype/demo systems enterprise-ready through efficiency, reliability, and performance improvements, and a nuanced view of how AI/LLMs may change engineering team models.”
Hassaan Khan
Executive Technology Leader specializing in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI/ML
“Engineering leader/player-coach who built and validated a preference-based recommendation engine using clustering, including generating test data to evaluate how clusters evolve over time. Has SRE/DevOps experience and has owned production incidents end-to-end (logging-driven RCA and refactoring patterns that failed at large data scale). Emphasizes quality and platform stability via unit, integration, and load testing, and has managed performance via regular 1:1s and PIPs.”

Andrew Coven
Executive Software Engineering Leader specializing in AI/ML products and large-scale platforms
“Engineering leader who drove Lightroom Mobile’s roadmap at Adobe by enforcing reuse of Photoshop imaging tech to deliver RAW, non-destructive mobile editing with full Creative Cloud compatibility. In startup environments, has repeatedly scaled and professionalized engineering orgs (career ladders, evaluation systems, delivery process) and led high-stakes cloud/platform transformations—migrating off Heroku and consolidating fragmented AWS/GCP usage into a single GCP platform—improving reliability, deploy speed, and cutting cloud costs by 20%+.”
Neeraj Sharma
Executive Engineering Leader specializing in AI/ML platforms and cloud-scale distributed systems
“Senior engineering/technology leader with experience driving board-backed, multi-year platform transformations in retail commerce (American Eagle) and scaling ML/product delivery platforms at Amazon Alexa. Known for data-driven build-vs-buy decisions, org scaling (6→80), and measurable outcomes including 98.5%→99.9% uptime, 234 experiments generating ~$200M revenue lift, and increasing delivery velocity from 1.5 to 30 features/week while transitioning to DNN/large-model architectures.”
Jimmie Lee
Executive Technology & Strategic Operations Leader specializing in AI governance and cybersecurity
“Serial entrepreneur who has launched 9+ bootstrapped businesses and has repeatedly raised capital as a CTO for other startups, leveraging a 7,000+ funder network and a sales-like fundraising pipeline approach. Deeply embedded in the VC/studio/accelerator ecosystem for 15+ years and currently mentors/advises with Stanford Venture Studios, Alchemist, and Ignyte in Dubai. Recently left Meta and is specifically targeting CTO roles for the next 5–10 years.”
Nikolay Chirkov
Executive Engineering Leader (CTO/Head of Engineering) specializing in mobile AI inference
“Co-founded Aethernet Inc., a B2B IoT connectivity platform with a usage-based revenue model and direct sales motion to device manufacturers. Bootstrapped with founder capital and strict cost control, with angel interest pending technical validation; developed the product through multi-year architecture experiments to deliver measurable latency/reliability/scalability/cost advantages versus DevOps-heavy incumbents like AWS IoT Core.”
Muhammad Shoaib
Senior Site Reliability & DevOps Engineer specializing in multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms
“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned large-scale Power9/AIX 7.x estates across primary/DR (VIOS/HMC/vHMC) and has deep hands-on experience with DLPAR, shared processor pool governance, and PowerHA recovery. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC capability—built Azure DevOps/GitHub CI/CD for Terraform + Kubernetes/Helm with strong security controls and resolved a production Terraform state-lock failure by redesigning backend locking and pipeline concurrency.”
