Vetted Software Developers in the Bay Area

“Engineering leader/player-coach who built and validated a preference-based recommendation engine using clustering, including generating test data to evaluate how clusters evolve over time. Has SRE/DevOps experience and has owned production incidents end-to-end (logging-driven RCA and refactoring patterns that failed at large data scale). Emphasizes quality and platform stability via unit, integration, and load testing, and has managed performance via regular 1:1s and PIPs.”

“Meta engineer who owned a heavily used internal goals/performance management feature end-to-end, driving major responsiveness improvements by restructuring frontend data loading and adding backend caching (Memcached), cache warmups, and query/index tuning. Strong focus on production quality: observability, error monitoring, and improving test coverage to prevent regressions during peak review cycles.”

“Amazon engineer/leader who drove a major modernization of the AWS Database Migration Service Console, migrating a monolithic UI to a micro-frontend architecture while improving performance, reliability, and engineering standards. Operates as a player-coach (80/20 hands-on/management), with demonstrated incident ownership and process improvements across Amazon and Walmart Labs.”

“Customer-facing technical professional with Amazon incident-management experience who helps drive adoption of complex ML/LLM solutions by delivering hands-on demos and rapid model fine-tuning. Applies a disciplined debugging approach (repro + logs/metrics + severity triage) and maintains runbooks to resolve SEV2 issues in ~1 hour, while also partnering with sales/customer teams to ship patches and new features based on feedback.”

“React-focused engineer who built a full-stack analytics/test-metrics dashboard (React frontend + Python backend) and turned common UI pieces (data tables, filter panels, chart wrappers) into a reusable internal component library with docs, examples, and basic tests. Strong on profiling-driven performance optimization (React Profiler, memoization) and on owning ambiguous internal-tool projects end-to-end; now planning to package internal patterns into public open-source components.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience at Atlassian and Zoho, spanning GraphQL federation, React/TypeScript frontends, and cloud-native AWS/Kubernetes operations. Built and operated a federated GraphQL gateway with Terraform + CI/CD + observability, delivering major latency and integration-time improvements, and also designed high-volume Kafka data pipelines (10M+ events/day) with strong reliability guarantees.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who built an end-to-end personalized chatbot service integrating Amazon Redshift context retrieval with Amazon Bedrock, including prompt construction and production-grade reliability controls. Strong platform experience deploying containerized services to Kubernetes with GitOps/ArgoCD, plus hands-on Kafka streaming and phased infrastructure migration execution.”

“Backend/platform engineer with experience across edtech, logistics, and AWS internal systems—owned a production course recommender end-to-end (model serving + APIs + caching/observability), delivering +30% CTR and -20% latency. Has scaled real-time delivery visibility/rerouting on Kubernetes/EKS to sub-200ms P95 during demand spikes and built billion-events/day telemetry pipelines on AWS (Kinesis Firehose, Lambda, S3, Redshift) with schema evolution, dedupe, and replay support.”
