Vetted Troubleshooting Professionals

“Commercial UNIX specialist and former tech lead for a UNIX-based telco appliance spanning 11 SPARC Solaris servers, with strong Solaris troubleshooting (truss/iostat/netstat/snoop) and extensive shell scripting automation for safer, more consistent operations. Has executed multiple Solaris major-version migrations (6→8→10→11) and brings broad cross-UNIX platform experience (Solaris/SunOS/HP-UX/IRIX/OSF/1), while actively looking to deepen hands-on AIX/IBM Power expertise.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built an internal wiki LLM chatbot end-to-end using FastAPI, Kubernetes, and ChromaDB vector search, including frontend integration. Also has strong DevOps/migration experience—automating large work-item and repo migrations (Jira/FogBugz/ADO on-prem to cloud) via Python scripts, JSON mappings, REST APIs, and validation test suites.”

Senior Customer Success Operations Manager specializing in B2B SaaS and AdTech

Fremont, CA9y exp

“Customer success / operations professional from PubMatic (ad tech) focused on onboarding and growing enterprise publisher accounts. Leverages analytics tooling (Looker/Tableau) and monetization KPIs (fill rate, eCPM) to drive adoption, retention, and expansion, including a reported ~30% usage lift over six months and cross-functional A/B-tested product changes that increased revenue.”

“Ad operations-focused paid media candidate with broad exposure across major DSPs and ad servers, including DV360, AppNexus, The Trade Desk, Amazon DSP, CM360, and Sizmek. Their experience centers on campaign setup, tagging, QA, reporting, and diagnosing tracking/viewability issues rather than owning budget strategy, making them potentially strong for execution-heavy media operations roles.”

“Software engineer with primary experience in Java and Python who also troubleshoots and optimizes JavaScript/React performance issues. Has handled customer-reported production problems via log-driven diagnosis and backend workflow fixes, and took ownership of simplifying and automating a service region-expansion process through time analysis and process documentation.”

Junior Embedded Systems & Wireless Software Engineer specializing in BLE/Wi-Fi performance

Mountain View, CA2y exp

“Master’s capstone contributor on an autonomous rover navigation project, serving as an embedded/robotics software designer. Built low-level wheel control and odometry from encoders, integrated RealSense and RPLidar via ROS, and solved sensor-fusion/coordinate-frame issues by creating custom TF transforms. Used Gazebo to debug sim-to-real behavior and improved reliability on rough terrain by moving to dual-channel encoders when IMU data proved unreliable.”

Mid-level Technical Consultant specializing in cloud infrastructure and enterprise automation

Clinton, NJ7y exp

“AI/LLM engineer focused on production-grade agent systems in high-stakes workflows, including a tax modernization initiative that automated tax form generation for 50,000 users. Demonstrates strong depth in reliability engineering, evaluation loops, and safe orchestration, with quantified improvements including pass-through gains from 62% to 94%, 30% lower token cost, and accuracy improvement from 88% to 99%.”

“Compensation and payroll professional with hands-on experience owning U.S. payroll validation, reconciliation, and exception management, plus supporting compensation cycles across base pay, bonuses, and incentives. Stands out for building Excel-based audit and validation tools, resolving HRIS/payroll/finance data mismatches, and strengthening controls to improve payroll accuracy and compensation consistency.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and cloud-native FinTech

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Amazon engineer with 5+ years of experience who built an AI-assisted log investigation and triage workflow that cut debugging time by about 30% during on-call incidents. Combines observability tooling like CloudWatch and Splunk with Python, prompt engineering, and RAG-based diagnostics, and has practical experience orchestrating agentic AI workflows with a strong human-in-the-loop reliability focus.”

“Backend engineer focused on scalable, security-first platform architecture—recently built an end-to-end centralized access-control system that launched successfully with ~50k early adopters and was designed to support ~10x traffic growth. Experienced in production authn/authz (token verification, handoff/session migration), and in de-risking migrations via feature flags, phased rollouts, A/B testing, and Splunk-based monitoring.”

“Built and deployed a retail customer review intelligence platform by fine-tuning BERT for sentiment/topic extraction and pairing it with a recommendation component. Demonstrates strong production ML rigor (error analysis, relabeling/active sampling, thresholding/guardrails, OOD checks) and AWS-based orchestration at scale (Lambda + SageMaker with batching and concurrency controls), plus proven ability to align non-technical stakeholders on measurable outcomes.”

“Game QA lead with 20+ years of tooling and workflow experience, most recently leading QA on a Unity-based MLB mobile title with annual releases and major feature updates. Led QA for the PS Vita port of Borderlands 2 focused on technical requirements, performance, and usability, including making a key ship-risk call to limit multiplayer players. Known for disciplined Jira/TestRail administration, strong cross-functional communication, and uncovering critical submission-blocking issues with clear evidence and repro steps.”

“AppSec-focused customer advisor with hands-on experience integrating SAST/DAST/SCA into production CI/CD (Azure DevOps) and designing secure agent/scanning deployments in AWS (least-privilege IAM, private subnets, VPC endpoints). Demonstrates strong incident troubleshooting using logs/metrics/traces to diagnose load-related failures (timeouts/retry storms) and drive durable fixes, while tailoring risk/tradeoff communication across engineering, security, and leadership stakeholders.”

“QA professional with ~7 years of experience working in Scrum teams, involved from requirements and user story creation through test strategy/planning, execution, defect triage in Jira, and verification. Highlighted catching multiple issues early on an AI-driven project to avoid production regressions and escalating a blocker where a frequently used UI was broken to get it fixed quickly. Has not shipped an AAA game title.”
