Vetted Engineering Professionals in the Bay Area

“Full-stack/backend engineer with healthcare and enterprise experience: built and secured AWS-hosted services for a clinical EHR product that redacts/transforms hospital patient records for pharma customers (e.g., AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson). At Cisco, led an incremental Ruby-to-Python/Django migration for a compliance backend, and has deep multi-tenant security experience using Postgres RLS tied to JWT plus DLQ patterns to harden data pipelines.”

“Robotics software intern who worked on a customized ROS1-based middleware, building ROS node orchestration and a ROS topic monitoring system. Improved intra-machine ROS topic performance by using shared memory and circular buffers instead of socket-based IPC, and integrated nightly Jenkins CI with Groovy/Python to run tests and produce code coverage reports.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer building complex internal platforms and customer-facing demos at the intersection of infrastructure and product. Shipped a no-code Product Lifecycle Manager for manufacturing (3 manufacturers, 1000+ evolving tests) using AWS S3/SQS ingestion and extensible Postgres (EAV+JSONB) with end-to-end traceability. Also built a FastAPI-based company data intelligence platform with Okta-secured RBAC and an LLM/MCP layer for ChatGPT-like analytics over enterprise data sources.”

“Software engineer with strong compliance-domain experience who built a customer-facing compliance and reporting dashboard using React/TypeScript with Spring Boot microservices. Demonstrates mature production engineering practices—contract-first APIs, event-driven architecture (Kafka/RabbitMQ), caching (Redis), and robust CI/CD + observability (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK)—and also created a Python-based audit automation tool adopted into the standard release process.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who shipped a civic-tech Next.js/TypeScript app (Boston Police Index) with SSR, dynamic routing, and server-side data fetching, then iterated post-launch with UX and performance improvements. At Walmart (Seller Center micro-frontends), drove large-scale React/TypeScript refactors—standardizing state management, improving hook usage, and cutting type errors ~50%—and earned trust to serve as a code reviewer enforcing quality standards.”

“Full-stack engineer who built an enterprise search platform (Codlens) delivering natural-language Q&A over Jira/Slack using embeddings, vector DB search, re-ranking (RRF), and LLM responses with source grounding. Also designed and benchmarked a distributed IAM system with Postgres transaction-log replication and Raft-based quorum consistency, reporting ~253 TPS at ~60ms latency in a multi-node setup. Experience spans early-stage startups (Zetic AI, Sagwara Capital) and large-scale orgs (Akamai, Atlassian).”

Engineering Leader specializing in Digital Health, AI, and Cloud Platforms

Santa Clara, CA16y exp

“Senior Engineering Manager at Roche leading two Scrum teams building internally shared (“inner-sourced”) tools and libraries for a healthcare enterprise. Has led security/compliance-first architecture decisions (e.g., Python AI modules running inside a Java container) and front-end modularization (Angular monorepo to module federation), with a strong focus on developer experience via automated Swagger/OpenAPI documentation and robust testing/versioning practices.”

Ali Rahmati

Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in optimization, LLMs, and on-device AI

Santa Clara, CA9y exp

“Engineer with hands-on experience debugging and hardening a fixed-point implementation for an internal PoC, quickly diagnosing overflow/underflow issues that caused intermittent failures across thousands of runs and delivering a code fix. Comfortable presenting technical solutions with layered slide depth and doing follow-up deep dives for interested stakeholders, though has limited direct customer/sales partnership experience.”

Mid-level Robotics Software Engineer specializing in ROS2 autonomy and manipulation

San Jose, CA4y exp

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience building ROS2-based distributed multi-robot systems, including task allocation (distance cost matrix) and navigation using Nav2/DWA. Previously on Vicarious’s grasping team, implementing real-world box-picking with vacuum suction and force/torque sensing plus recovery behaviors. Also brings strong engineering hygiene with Gazebo simulation, Dockerized deployments across offices, and GitHub Actions CI/CD with unit/integration testing.”

“Software engineer with experience spanning an SEL internship and Walmart, combining backend/data pipeline work (Python, Kafka, relational DBs) with DevOps practices (Docker, Grafana, GitHub/Jenkins CI/CD, GitOps). Notably contributed to a REST-to-GraphQL migration aimed at reducing cloud utilization and implemented testing strategies to validate the transition.”

“Frontend/full-stack engineer with Chegg experience shipping signed-in and top-of-funnel Next.js experiences, including leading an account-sharing/device-management MVP integrated with a Java Spring Boot service. Stands out for strong rollout ownership, analytics-based validation, and pragmatic security/performance decisions in production.”

“Frontend/platform engineer with unusually strong depth in real-time data systems, observability, and API architecture across Adobe, Macy's/Bloomingdale's, and ASU. They’ve owned high-scale product surfaces end-to-end, from secure GraphQL/REST and WebSocket design through deployment, while also driving platform-wide standards adopted across 8+ product surfaces and 6 teams.”

“Engineering leader (Credit Karma/fintech) who built internal developer-platform frameworks at near open-source scale, including a unified key management system migrating ~450 services from on-prem HSM to a centralized KMS. Known for driving large cross-team migrations with strong safety mechanisms (canaries, shadow reads, rollback toggles) and measurable DX/ops improvements (60% fewer provisioning requests; 40% faster time-to-first-secret).”

“Engineering leader/player-coach who led a high-stakes 0→1 in-house usage-based billing/rating platform to replace a third-party system, saving millions and protecting 30M+ in revenue. Deep experience in event-driven microservices on AWS (Lambda/SQS/DynamoDB), billing correctness, migrations, and incident response, while scaling teams through hiring, coaching, and lightweight execution processes.”
