Vetted Cloud Migration Professionals

“Hands-on engineering leader currently at Vianai (GenAI enterprise applications) building AI-assisted data exploration/insights products with Python and React. Previously Corporate VP of Digital Health at Samsung Electronics, where they helped close key partner deals by demonstrating API-driven openness and led a major Samsung Health modernization from monolith to microservices for horizontal scalability and faster, safer iteration.”

“Backend/ML platform engineer with Google experience leading Python microservices for an AI-driven recommendation/retrieval system, including PyTorch inference and a retrieval-augmented generation workflow. Strong in production Kubernetes + GitOps (ArgoCD), real-time Kafka/Spark pipelines, and phased on-prem/legacy to AWS/GCP cloud migrations with reliability-focused rollout and rollback practices.”

“Engineering leader who drove Lightroom Mobile’s roadmap at Adobe by enforcing reuse of Photoshop imaging tech to deliver RAW, non-destructive mobile editing with full Creative Cloud compatibility. In startup environments, has repeatedly scaled and professionalized engineering orgs (career ladders, evaluation systems, delivery process) and led high-stakes cloud/platform transformations—migrating off Heroku and consolidating fragmented AWS/GCP usage into a single GCP platform—improving reliability, deploy speed, and cutting cloud costs by 20%+.”

“Technology leader from Franklin Templeton who modernized wealth management tech by launching client-facing digital web/mobile experiences via a phased data-warehouse-to-real-time strategy, while aligning internal CRM visibility for front office teams. Scaled an engineering org from 15 to ~250 (15 teams) and drove a shift from waterfall to Agile with microservices/micro-frontends and Jira-based transparency to improve delivery velocity.”

“Senior engineering/technology leader who has defined and delivered a multi-year roadmap to modernize platforms and embed AI, leading global teams through cloud-native and microservices migrations on AWS/Azure. Demonstrated measurable outcomes including 99.99% uptime, 40% fewer incidents, 25% faster delivery, 5x scalability, and $30M in new business opportunities, while scaling a 100+ person distributed org with strong OKR-driven execution and mentorship culture.”

“Engineering/tech leader with experience spanning major platforms (mentions Microsoft and AWS) and leading ML-driven product architecture (ranking systems). Describes driving a shift to a layered, API-standardized service architecture (including vector database components) that materially increased delivery speed (weeks to hours) while improving scalability and security, and emphasizes rigorous execution reviews (QDR/OKRs) plus transparent remote-team operating rhythms.”

“CRO/operator with experience at both AWS and a rapidly scaling Hawaii-based startup (Mana'olana International), focused on building lightweight but scalable operating systems. Known for implementing QBR/OKR rhythms, capacity/territory planning, KPI dashboards, and ROI-tied funding controls, and for mentoring founders through GTM accelerator work (Blue Startups) using a minimum-viable-process approach.”

“Former CTO of EzCred, a fintech embedded finance/digital lending infrastructure startup that built an API-first underwriting and servicing platform using alternative data (e.g., GST and bank statements) to cut loan decisions from days to minutes. Helped raise $1M in seed funding, built the engineering org and compliance-ready cloud architecture, and ran partner pilots before the company shut down during COVID-driven lending market contraction.”
