Vetted System Design Professionals

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who has built and operated event-driven microservices platforms (FastAPI/React/TypeScript, Kafka, Kubernetes) and internal DevOps tooling. Delivered measurable impact through user-feedback-driven iteration (WebSockets update mechanism cutting redundant API calls ~30%) and operational improvements (deployment monitoring dashboard reducing rollback time ~40%), with strong focus on reliability, observability, and data consistency at scale.”

“UX/Product designer with end-to-end experience on AI-driven products, including EduWave AI (learning platform for kids, parents, and teachers) and FlairX/Flarex AI (interview automation and AI scoring/benchmark reporting). Known for translating complex backend logic into clear, story-driven dashboards and validating designs through rapid prototyping and direct user observation; targeting founding design engineer roles in San Francisco.”

“Full-stack engineer in an insurance + telematics org who built a 0→1 multi-agent, AI-driven mobile regression execution system integrating Jira and n8n, emphasizing determinism (schema-validated outputs), traceability (state-machine style step archives), and scalable device scheduling. Also designed an event-driven microservices architecture using Kafka with standardized API/event contracts and has hands-on incident response experience improving resilience via rate limiting, circuit breaking, caching, and idempotency.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong fintech/financial-systems experience who built an automated reconciliation and reporting system end-to-end (Python/Django/FastAPI + React, Docker on AWS), cutting reconciliation time by ~25% and improving audit traceability. Experienced designing typed REST APIs and Postgres data models, operating production workloads on AWS (EC2/Lambda/RDS/DynamoDB/CloudWatch), and building reliable ETL/integration pipelines with idempotency, retries, and reconciliation.”

“Data/ML and product leader with large-scale consumer and enterprise experience (including Walmart) who blends hands-on prototyping with executive stakeholder alignment. Has delivered measurable outcomes across personalization, semantic search/knowledge graphs, and fraud/security architecture, and has scaled organizations rapidly (30→180 in 12 months) by upskilling and building modern data/ML engineering capabilities.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on AWS data platform work (S3 + Glue + Lambda/Step Functions) and Kubernetes GitOps delivery (Argo CD + GitHub Actions). Has led ingestion and transformation of semi-structured event data, built internal APIs for ETL operations/monitoring, and implemented Kafka-based near-real-time streaming with enrichment and Elasticsearch for search/analytics, plus experience supporting an on-prem ERP migration to AWS.”

“Executive/engineering leader with 18+ years at an established company who helped turn a top-3 telco data opportunity into meaningful revenue and a continuing partnership to launch new data-driven products. Brings a security/privacy-first approach (compliance assessments and documentation) and a structured North Star + technical planning method for building with limited resources; interested in joining an early-stage founding journey with the right vision and team.”
