Vetted WebSockets Professionals

“Hands-on AI/LLM engineer who built a RAG-based product feature end-to-end, including prompt engineering, safety guardrails, and an automated adversarial + load-testing harness. Diagnosed real production issues (null responses) via Azure logs/metrics and drove an architectural fix by separating model deployments to address token/quota limits. Also runs internal developer enablement through short theory-to-hands-on AI workshops after completing a Microsoft AI certification.”

“Built and deployed an AI receptionist product for field-service businesses (HVAC/electrician), including real-time Jobber scheduling integrations and Twilio-based calling. Combines hands-on customer/operator shadowing with strong production engineering (queueing to handle API limits, rigorous testing/mocking, mirrored prod environment) and cross-layer troubleshooting, driving user adoption through review/override workflows.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production ML/LLM systems: built a real-time FastAPI inference API on Kubernetes with strong reliability patterns (timeouts, idempotent retries, centralized error handling). Delivered AWS platforms using EKS + Lambda with GitHub Actions/Helm CI/CD and built Glue-based ETL from S3/Kafka into Snowflake with schema evolution and data-quality controls; also modernized legacy analytics/recommendation workflows into Python services with safe, feature-flagged cutovers.”

“Engineering leader (12+ years Director, 17 years lead) focused on developer productivity and platform/framework work across Oracle, PlayStation, Workday, and CafePress. Notable for building distributed teams from scratch and delivering high-impact platform architecture—e.g., re-architected PlayStation’s upload pipeline to support 500GB–5TB submissions using browser-to-AWS chunked uploads with SNS/SQS and deduplication/resume support.”

“Backend/security-focused engineer supporting a service with 100k+ monthly users. Built an automated load-testing suite that reproduced and mitigated catastrophic host failures from oversized SCP/rsync transfers via host-level throttling, and proposed a future sharding approach for very large transfers. Also created an internal agent to summarize anomalous metrics and provide ready-to-run debug queries, significantly reducing ops review time.”
