Vetted Site Reliability Engineering Professionals

“Built and operated a production warehouse metadata collection platform at Sigma Computing, integrating Go/gRPC services with a TypeScript backend and MySQL, with strong emphasis on idempotency, retries, bounded-concurrency job queues, and Datadog-based observability. Also created Kurral (kurral.com), an AI agent runtime security and observability/governance SDK/proxy concept, iterating via pilot-customer feedback and market research; targeting founding engineer roles with $180–200k base and ~2–5% equity.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who described owning an artist search and detail experience across UI, backend integrations, and data modeling. They show practical strength in scalable React architecture, TypeScript safety, and performance tuning, with a product-minded approach to shipping 0→1 features quickly and iterating after launch.”

Executive AI/ML technology leader specializing in healthcare, biotech, and legal AI

Irvine, CA17y exp

“Repeat founder and startup advisor with experience spanning academic, health tech, legal tech, sports, and gaming. Has participated in fundraising and due diligence and has built companies, engineering teams, and software platforms from scratch, with a strong product-design-first approach to product-market fit and market selection.”

“Engineering leader with experience at Vertex and Salesforce, combining org leadership with hands-on architecture work. He led a 40-person team through execution and quality improvements, drove legacy modernization and SaaS transition, and launched a 0-to-1 voice capability in CRM while also applying AI to code migration and developer productivity.”

“CTO-minded builder seeking to join a startup; previously created an AI-driven platform that abstracted away DevOps and infrastructure for drug discovery researchers. Emphasizes high-leverage, zero-to-one execution with managed cloud/open-source tooling, and a strong reliability/reproducibility mindset validated against existing scientific pipelines.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer (Amazon experience) who built an AWS-based integration testing platform using Flask, ECS, Docker, and CloudWatch—cutting 1000+ test cases from ~5 hours to ~30 minutes while improving log visibility for non-engineering users. Also led a zero-downtime EU region migration with rigorous ORR testing, and built a Kinesis/Firehose/S3 + Glue/Spark replay mechanism for resilient data recovery. Side project: reproducible, cost-efficient LLM hosting platform on EKS using CDK and Karpenter for scale-to-zero.”

“Technology-first venture builder with strong familiarity in the VC/accelerator landscape, specializing in greenfield innovation, M&A, and large-scale transformation/modernization. Described building a venture-funded retail banking greenfield startup to integrate lending-as-a-service for SME lending while meeting federal and local financial services compliance requirements.”

“Robotics software lead on a safe human-robot interaction project for search-and-rescue and at-home physical therapy using a Franka Emika Panda, Azure Kinect, and 3D pose estimation. Built ROS-based vision-to-control pipelines that fuse homogeneous transforms with wrench feedback, and implemented max-manipulability/null-space strategies (QP + manipulability Jacobian) to avoid singularities and improve real-time trajectory behavior.”

Executive CTO specializing in regulated FinTech payments and AML

Dallas, TX21y exp

“Founder of two bootstrapped ventures—Brain Matched, a career tech platform, and AIqorx, a software/infrastructure company. Distinguishes themself as a builder focused on modular, scalable technical infrastructure that reduces technical debt and speeds execution, with a venture-studio mindset around creating shared tech stacks that give portfolio companies an advantage.”

“CTO-level leader with deep insurtech and cloud security/SaaS experience who has repeatedly scaled global engineering orgs and delivered high-velocity roadmaps. Most recently led Delos Insurance Solutions to launch new homeowners programs for wildfire-prone regions every 3–4 weeks while meeting DOI/SLA requirements, driving $135M GWP and $250M capacity and reaching cash-flow positive. Also led major scalability re-architecture at CloudPassage (Postgres to Cassandra + Kafka) and built a large Estonia-based engineering hub at Cybercube.”
