Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack, cloud, and mobile development

Buffalo, NY4y exp

“Backend engineer with open-source web3.js contributions focused on preventing costly smart-contract execution failures, plus hands-on blockchain startup experience scaling an NFT mint from a test EC2 setup to AWS Lambda/API Gateway under extreme concurrency. Built a multiplayer backend improving tick rate from 40 Hz to 105 Hz using UDP, containerization, and Kubernetes, and has healthcare production support experience across 10+ apps. Also publishes IEEE research papers and produces developer-friendly documentation that accelerates team adoption.”

Junior Backend Engineer specializing in data platforms and cloud APIs

Remote, USA1y exp

“Backend lead at a stealth startup and builder of MailIQ/MailBox—an automated Gmail inbox digest + cleanup system. Designed secure multi-account email ingestion and cost-efficient LLM-based summarization, and implemented robust unsubscribe automation using Playwright + OpenAI webpage analysis (including captcha-handling) with strong safety guardrails, incremental rollouts, and rollback strategies.”

“Production-focused ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership across classical ML and GenAI systems, from CV/NLP services to enterprise RAG. Stands out for combining research-to-production execution with measurable business impact: 40% processing-efficiency gains, 35% fewer support tickets, 5x latency improvement, and 3x throughput gains while maintaining safety and quality.”

“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.”

Junior Backend/Infrastructure Engineer specializing in AWS distributed systems

Chennai, India2y exp

“Backend engineer with 1.7 years of experience plus prior founding experience who has already owned production systems end-to-end in an early-stage environment. Most notably, they rebuilt a failing ingestion pipeline into a stable SQS/Fargate architecture that improved success from 40% to 100%, boosted throughput 10x, and cut processing time by ~75%, while also shipping an LLM-powered fashion search workflow using Vertex AI and Elasticsearch.”

“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.”
