“give me more sutiable profiles, H1B also fine”
This expanded, nationwide pass covers 25 profiles: a primary shortlist of 15 candidates with evidence-dated requirement coverage, plus a 10-profile H-1B / C2C availability pool whose contract status is explicit. Each row is backed by its own LinkedIn profile; most primary-shortlist candidates have work authorization not publicly stated, so visa status is never inferred.

Rohit Ratnu is the only profile with dated production evidence for every mandatory item — Camunda and Pronghorn, Azure, Ansible, Cypress/Mocha/Cucumber/Selenium and microservices at AT&T, plus OpenStack, VMware, Kubernetes and Docker; his rate, relocation and async/await depth remain unverified. linkedin.com
Camunda or Pronghorn is the universal gap: all 24 other profiles lack it; the nearest misses name Temporal.io (Shravan Kumar Nomula, who adds 10+ years Node, Verizon telecom and Cisco NSO) or Itential (Lihong Huang, who covers Azure, Ansible, NFV, OpenStack, Kubernetes and Docker at AT&T). linkedin.com
Explicit availability lives in the pool: Sundeep Goud M. is on H-1B, C2C only, with public email and phone; Rajasekhar Maddike is open to C2C/C2H and Uday Kumar to C2C — all three still lack Camunda/Pronghorn and Ansible. linkedin.com
Ansible is the second-widest gap (15 of 25 profiles), while microservices and MongoDB are verified on every profile; rate acceptance at $60/hr, contract terms and relocation to Middletown or Redmond require recruiter validation for all 25. linkedin.com

LinkedIn profile research, 2026-11-02: 15 primary-shortlist candidates plus 10 H-1B/C2C availability-pool profiles, one LinkedIn URL per candidate. The matrix scores nine mandatory/preferred requirement groups per profile from dated production evidence in the profile text; "mandatory met" counts groups verified of nine. Work authorization is shown only where publicly stated. Full evidence narratives and public contacts were shortened for space; rate, relocation and Node 12+ specifics require recruiter validation.
