California, USA2y exp

“Engineer with hands-on experience shipping production-critical AI-assisted workflows, including an internationalization system for a React Native/Expo mobile game that expanded from English-only to 15 languages. Stands out for pragmatic, safety-first use of AI: they design deterministic validation layers, constrain model scope, and prioritize architecture, QA, and maintainability over hype-driven agent complexity.”

“Startup-style full-stack/backend engineer with hands-on AWS architecture experience who shipped an LLM-driven assessment-question automation feature (Python microservice calling AWS Bedrock via SQS, deployed on Lambda) with strong validation/guardrails and retry strategies. Also improved production scalability by moving a CPU/IO-heavy file upload path out of a Go API into a queue/Lambda design monitored with CloudWatch, and has React+TypeScript experience optimizing analytics dashboards.”

“Backend-focused engineer with 7+ years of experience building cloud-native, distributed SaaS systems in startup-like environments, including healthcare and enterprise automation platforms. Strong in Go/Python microservices, event-driven architectures, and production AI/LLM integration, with hands-on experience scaling Kubernetes-based systems on AWS while balancing speed, reliability, and evolving product requirements.”
