Vetted UNIX Professionals

“Solaris-focused engineer who has led production performance investigations using DTrace and implemented code changes that substantially improved runtime by removing redundant parsing. Participated in a data-center-exit lift-and-shift to cloud using Oracle GoldenGate for replication and LVM to duplicate the application platform, with some exposure to AIX/IBM Power (LPAR recovery with NIM, assisted PowerHA validation).”

“Internship experience deploying cloud-based services into production, including navigating security/resource provisioning and coordinating approvals across impacted teams. Built a Python backend for a local Ollama-based app using open-source models, and has hands-on distributed systems experience implementing and debugging Paxos with extensive logging/state tracing.”

“Built a production internal knowledge assistant using a RAG pipeline over large spreadsheets, PDFs, and support documents, using transformer embeddings stored in FAISS. Focused on real-world production challenges—format normalization, retrieval quality, hallucination reduction (context-only + citations), and latency—using hybrid retrieval, quantization, and containerized deployment, and communicated the workflow to non-technical stakeholders using simple analogies.”

“Built a production LLM/RAG assistant for insurance/health claims agents that ingests 100–200 page patient PDFs via OCR (migrated from local Tesseract to Azure Document Intelligence) and delivers grounded claim detail retrieval plus summaries with PII/PHI guardrails. Experienced orchestrating large workflows with Celery worker pipelines and AWS Step Functions (S3-triggered, Fargate-based batch inference/accuracy aggregation), and collaborates closely with non-technical SMEs (claims agents/nurses) through shadowing, iterative demos, and SME-defined evaluation.”

“Built and deployed a production AI/ML SRE copilot that uses RAG over real-time Splunk signals plus deployment/runbook data to generate grounded incident summaries and next steps, cutting time-to-contact by 30%. Treats the knowledge corpus like a production dataset (quality gates, semantic chunking, metadata enrichment) and runs golden-dataset automated evals to ensure reliability, while partnering closely with ops/support leaders through discovery sessions and metric-driven demos.”

“Backend-focused engineer with hands-on experience modernizing a legacy SNMP/PNM data collection system at CableLabs into a cloud-accessible Kubernetes pipeline, feeding Prometheus-formatted metrics into VictoriaMetrics and visualizing real-time network health in Grafana for 100+ modems. Also built a FastAPI + Supabase appointment booking portal for a clinic with encryption and phone-number-based auth, and has frontend experience debugging S3-based HEIF image rendering issues.”
