Vetted Test Automation Professionals

“Hands-on engineering manager at a marketing company leading a highly senior, distributed team (10 direct reports) while personally coding ~60–70% and owning end-to-end architecture across three interconnected products. Built agentic CRM automation and a reinforcement-learning-driven distribution layer for channel spend/bidding, with a strong focus on scalable design and observability (Prometheus/APM/logging) enabling frequent releases and few production incidents.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in developer tools, cloud automation, and generative AI

Redmond, WA13y exp

“Built and deployed a production chatbot on osvaldocalles.com and iterated through real-world LLM engineering issues: model quota/cost tradeoffs (migrating to Nova Pro), RAG accuracy via semantic chunking, AWS IAM/guardrail/security pitfalls, and Lambda/API Gateway streaming constraints (prefers JS for streaming layer). Experienced with agent orchestration using Strands SDK (AWS-focused) and LangGraph (Vercel/container deployments), plus evaluation pipelines using LLM-as-evaluator, dashboards, and staged model rollouts.”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on AWS ML infrastructure and deep learning image delivery: provisioned EKS/Kubernetes for multi-node training and automated image release pipelines (Python + AWS CDK) to cut release time from 2 weeks to 1. Also built customer migration tooling for SageMaker HyperPod and owned a security incident end-to-end, implementing prevention tests and process improvements.”

Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in SaaS, Cloud Migration, and Cybersecurity

Santa clara, CA8y exp

“Senior engineering leader with experience at Cisco, Amazon, and startup Shopkick, operating at high scale (e.g., Secure Web Gateway handling ~40M QPS). Known for measurable impact across reliability and cost (85% efficacy improvement; Datadog spend cut from ~$500k/month to ~$15k/month) and for leading complex platform modernization (1-year monolith-to-microservices/event-driven migration with zero customer impact) plus compatibility-focused API design that cut device onboarding from a month to a day.”
