Vetted Engineering Professionals in the Austin Metro

“Backend engineer who built an Emergency Alert System with Virginia Tech for the City of Alexandria, focusing on real-time ingestion, secure dashboards, and AI-assisted prioritization. Emphasizes high-stakes reliability with guardrails (hybrid rules+LLM, confidence-based fallbacks), scalable async processing, and defense-in-depth security (JWT/RBAC plus database row-level security).”

“Full-stack product engineer who builds and owns production features across Next.js/React/TypeScript and Java Spring Boot, with strong Postgres data modeling and performance tuning. Has delivered measurable improvements (60%+ faster renders, 2s→100ms queries, 50% lower workflow latency) and built reliable Kafka-based workflows with robust observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager) and high test coverage.”

“Backend engineer with fintech/transaction-processing experience who built and optimized a Spring Boot + PostgreSQL + AWS service handling money transactions, resolving peak-traffic latency via query/index and connection pool tuning. Shipped an LLM-driven risk-flagging workflow integrated via a FastAPI Python service, owning prompt design, validation guardrails, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop escalation to reduce false positives and improve precision over time.”

“Backend/infra-focused engineer who owned production systems for distributed ML experimentation (hyperparameter tuning across a cluster with GPU scaling, custom scheduling, and checkpoint-based fault tolerance). Also built and operated a low-latency log validation service using queued async workflows with idempotency, retries/backoff, and strong observability, plus experience building resilient Selenium-based browser automations for complex multi-step web flows.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in LLM applications, RAG, and OCR automation

Austin, TX3y exp

“At Trellis, built and shipped a production multi-agent, authenticated GenAI chatbot for sensitive financial account inquiries (loan/payment lookups), using dynamic model routing to control latency and cost while improving accuracy. Implemented prompt-injection defenses (Meta Prompt Guard), RAG with LangChain, and LLM-as-a-judge evaluation; the system cut manual support call volume by 40%+ and was refined through close collaboration with QA-driven user testing.”

Director-level VR Game Programmer specializing in Unity and QA leadership

Austin, TX15y exp

“Unity/VR gameplay engineer who has shipped full games and built a robust coin economy + massive gear customization system (over a million combinations) backed by a cloud service. Notably discovered and fixed a severe backend security flaw by adding proper authentication (security key + OAuth2), and has hands-on VR performance optimization experience (OVR Metrics, LOD/mipmaps, imposters) plus multiplayer sports sync design using Photon PUN2.”
