Vetted UNIX Professionals

“AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer focused on production Linux environments, building secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub) to deploy Dockerized services to AWS ECS and automating infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation. Strong in operational troubleshooting and scaling (CloudWatch-driven performance remediation, Auto Scaling/ELB, multi-AZ HA patterns), but explicitly does not have IBM Power/AIX or PowerHA/HACMP experience.”

“Cloud consulting veteran building DragnCloud, an agentic cloud infrastructure builder aimed at teams outgrowing Heroku/Supabase who need complex setups (data pipelines, custom LLM hosting, multi-tier apps) without hiring consultants. Has SaaS background and has served as a Fractional CTO for funded companies; currently focused on landing the first 20 customers and expanding automation into higher-value workflows.”

“Cloud/SRE-style engineer at TDS supporting revenue-critical transportation SaaS platforms on AWS/GCP with Kubernetes. Has hands-on experience leading high-impact production work including DDoS mitigation, zero-downtime MSSQL→PostgreSQL migration using CDC, and building secure GitHub Actions + ArgoCD delivery pipelines and Terraform-based GKE infrastructure.”

“UNIX infrastructure engineer with hands-on AIX 7.x and Solaris 11.4 operations, including high-severity Oracle/NFS I/O incidents resolved via MTU/Jumbo Frame tuning and performance tooling (iostat/vmstat/top/fio). Experienced in IBM Power (P5–P9) environments with VIOS/LPAR and PowerHA/HACMP (up to 8-node clusters), plus legacy Sun/Oracle SPARC and AIX migrations using custom Bash/Python discovery scripts and rsync-based cutovers.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience building data-intensive and 3D-processing web applications (React/Next.js/TypeScript + Node.js). Has worked in microservices using RabbitMQ for event-driven workflows and built an internal ops/engineering dashboard to monitor pipeline jobs, surface logs, and manage retries—improving visibility and reducing on-call/debug time.”

Executive CTO and Software Architect specializing in AI systems and cloud platforms

Israel, Israel22y exp

“Startup-minded technical founder currently running Novicklabs and building Itervox.dev, an AI agent orchestration platform for developer teams. Previously served as CTO at EventLoop and shows strong insight into multi-agent tooling, observability, security, and the open-source-to-cloud path for developer infrastructure products.”

“Cloud/Linux infrastructure engineer focused on high-availability AWS platforms (EKS/EC2) with strong observability and incident response ownership. Has hands-on experience building secure CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) and Terraform-based IaC at scale, including resolving real production issues like peak-traffic latency and Terraform remote state locking; transparent about not having direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA production ownership.”

“DevSecOps/AWS infrastructure engineer at Madison Logic who owns a 15-account AWS footprint and treats nearly all AWS resources as code (Terraform/CloudFormation). Led a CI/CD platform migration (Bitbucket → GitLab + GitHub Actions) supporting WordPress and containerized microservices, improving release frequency to weekly/daily, and has hands-on production incident response experience on ECS Fargate using Datadog with fast rollback via immutable ECR tags and task definition revisions.”

Mid-level Embedded Software Engineer specializing in RTOS and microcontroller firmware

Boston, MA4y exp

“Backend/embedded-focused engineer with hands-on experience designing real-time, memory/power-constrained firmware architectures and also building Python/FastAPI services. Demonstrates strong production rigor across migrations (strangler pattern, shadow reads, feature flags), security (OIDC/JWT, RBAC/ABAC, Postgres RLS), and robustness for async workflows (idempotency, event ordering, state machines).”

“Full-stack and applied AI candidate who has shipped both a shift-management workflow product and an LLM-powered business insights system using Athena, S3, and Bedrock. They show strong grounding in prompt design, retrieval-based AI architecture, and practical human-in-the-loop product judgment, while also working in an early-stage university research project focused on accessibility for hard-of-hearing users.”
