Vetted TDD Professionals

“Platform and distributed-systems leader (player-coach) who owned architecture and reliability for an Amazon analytics/data platform serving ~100K internal users at exabyte scale. Built an ML-driven “Lakeflow” optimization layer that cut pipeline completion times ~20–25% and reduced compute waste >15%, and led major incident response/redesign efforts (e.g., deletion storm) with strong rollout/observability/rollback practices.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Walmart and HealthSnap building Python services and data pipelines on AWS (EKS, Lambda, Glue, Airflow). Strong reliability and operations focus—implemented idempotency + circuit breakers for peak-traffic consistency issues, GitOps CI/CD, and observability. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (Postgres p95 45s to <5s, ~60% CPU reduction) and modernized SAS batch workflows to Python with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flagged rollout.”

“Backend/data engineer who has owned production Python APIs and high-throughput async workflows on AWS (FastAPI, Docker, ECS/EKS/Lambda) with mature reliability practices like idempotency, bounded retries, circuit breakers, and strong observability. Also built AWS Glue ETL into an S3/Redshift lakehouse and modernized legacy batch systems via parallel-run parity testing and feature-flagged migrations, including a SQL tuning win cutting a multi-minute query to under 10 seconds.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer (5+ years) with Shopify experience integrating LLM/RAG workflows into production APIs. Owned a Python TensorFlow Serving inference pipeline connected to Java microservices via gRPC, optimizing tail latency at ~10k concurrent load and improving retrieval relevance with embedding and evaluation work. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + GitOps/CI/CD background, including monolith-to-microservices migrations and event-driven streaming patterns.”

“Backend engineer with experience at UnitedHealth Group redesigning a high-traffic Spring Boot microservice from blocking to reactive architecture during peak season, cutting median latency by 47% for a service used by ~10M customers annually. Strong in Kubernetes-based deployment/scaling and pragmatic rollout strategies (blue-green/incremental traffic shifting) with performance and database troubleshooting.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building credit/fraud enrichment services and checkout pipelines on AWS (EKS + Lambda) using FastAPI, Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, with a strong focus on reliability patterns (timeouts/retries/circuit breakers) and observability. Has also built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL into S3/Redshift with schema evolution and data quality controls, and modernized legacy credit decisioning into Java/Node microservices with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flag rollouts.”
