“Robotics software engineer with ~3 years of ROS experience spanning drone autonomy and perception. Recently improved drone barcode scanning by shifting to segmentation and deploying an optimized instance-seg model to edge hardware (FP16 quantization, convex-hull masks), while also building ROS drivers/parameters for field-tunable behavior. Has hands-on experience integrating LegoLOAM and calibration/TF systems, including creating RViz visualization tools to validate transforms and debugging real-world drift issues caused by lighting/glare.”

“Built and deployed a production AI document Q&A (RAG) platform that lets non-technical users query hundreds of PDFs/Word files, cutting search time from hours to seconds. Experienced with scaling retrieval pipelines (chunking, embeddings, vector search, batching/caching) and orchestrating reliable workflows using AWS Step Functions/Airflow with robust retries, monitoring, and fallbacks.”

“LLM/AI practitioner focused on productionizing LLM assistants for customers, with emphasis on reliability, security, and data privacy (RAG architecture, guardrails, RBAC, data masking, monitoring and automated evals). Experienced in hands-on developer workshops and in partnering with sales to run tailored demos/pilots that drive broad customer adoption.”

“Cloud/platform engineer with hands-on delivery across Azure and AWS, including standing up a CIS-compliant Azure environment and integrating Azure OpenAI Foundry to automate finance invoicing. Has scaled platform capabilities across large org footprints (dynamic CI/CD pipelines for ~94 teams across 200+ repos) and replaced a $1M/year vulnerability patching vendor by building an internal AWS-based patching and monitoring solution for ~1000 servers.”

“Built a fault-tolerant distributed IoT sensor network on Raspberry Pi using a token-ring protocol, implementing leader election, timeout-based failure detection, and dynamic reconfiguration when nodes drop mid-round. Focused on reliability and data integrity, including exactly-once processing semantics backed by a MySQL backend and socket-level instrumentation to debug real-time coordination issues.”

“Stony Brook Fall 2024 capstone contributor who built a ROS2-based warehouse mobile robot prototype, owning perception and SLAM integration end-to-end. Strong in real-time robotics optimization on Jetson Orin (TensorRT/CUDA, ROS2 tracing/Nsight) and in distributed ROS2 communications (DDS discovery/QoS, MAVLink-to-ROS2 bridging), with a full simulation/testing/deployment toolchain (Gazebo, CI tests, Docker/K3s).”

“Backend/platform engineer at Aryaka Networks who built a centralized resiliency and security Spring Boot library to standardize Keycloak RBAC and fault-tolerance across 25+ Kubernetes-migrated microservices. Uses profiling and observability (Prometheus/Grafana) to drive measurable performance and reliability gains (25% faster APIs, 70% faster environment setup) and accelerates adoption via golden-path starter repos and Swagger/OpenAPI live docs.”

“Backend engineer who built a Node.js + SQL service integrating with the Google Ads API to periodically upload online and offline conversions via Azure Logic Apps, persisting upload records for ROI reporting. Implemented PII hashing, token validation, redundancy, and detailed failure/status logging for reliability and debuggability. Currently scoping an LLM/agent workflow (likely LangChain) to let marketing bulk-update e-commerce product data using SEO keywords without developer involvement.”

“Software engineer with limited robotics background but deep experience building end-to-end document ingestion and image understanding systems, including a CAD-specific pipeline using a custom model to extract components and bounding boxes for user-facing visualization and Q&A. Also brings strong infrastructure/DevOps skills (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Terraform) with emphasis on reliability, cost optimization, and uptime.”

“Backend engineer who built a high-stakes, privacy-first platform at be Still Analytics for survivors of domestic violence, emphasizing anonymity, security, and reliability. Experienced with GenAI backends (LangChain + AWS Bedrock) including RAG to prevent hallucinations, plus cloud-native scaling (Docker/Kubernetes) and cost-saving migrations from legacy VMs to serverless (30% reduction).”

“Robotics software engineer who built the perception-to-planning pipeline for an autonomous bipedal robot: synchronized and fused 3D LiDAR + multiple depth cameras in ROS1 (tf2/message_filters) to produce combined point clouds and 2.5D maps, then implemented and benchmarked A*/D*/RRT plus hybrid A* footstep planning in simulation. Also founded a software company and personally owned CI/CD, security checks (CodeQL), and release automation (custom release bot + Slack notifications).”

“Early-career engineer who built a self-directed production-grade security scanning/analysis pipeline that normalizes multi-scanner results, correlates CVEs, and uses an LLM to generate exploit hypotheses—then hardened it for real-world reliability (timeouts, confidence scoring, feature flags, graceful degradation). Also integrated a real-time audio ML model into Discord/Zoom and debugged intermittent latency/dropouts across Python inference, virtual audio drivers, and network jitter; experienced with IAM integrations (Entra ID/Salesforce) and cloud tooling (AWS/Docker/Kubernetes).”

“Backend engineer with production experience at KeyBank building high-volume Java/Spring Boot services on Azure with PostgreSQL/Oracle, including async job ingestion and tracking. Demonstrates strong reliability/performance debugging (HikariCP pool exhaustion, DB contention) and has shipped an LLM-powered data analysis/summarization feature with robust production guardrails (validation, shadow testing, deterministic fallbacks, audit logs).”

“Frontend-leaning engineer with strong React/Next.js (App Router + TypeScript) experience who has handled complex migrations (Pages to App Router) and performance-focused SSR work in a real estate inventory product. Also built regulated banking workflows (credit card disputes) using XState for correctness and implemented BullMQ/Redis queueing plus observability dashboards; background spans banking, academia, and NGOs, emphasizing scrappy delivery under constraints.”

“Infrastructure/lab engineering professional who builds and troubleshoots production-grade LLM/agentic automation (n8n + MCP) with strong security isolation and human-in-the-loop CI/CD tied to Jira/PR workflows. Also partnered with business units at GlobalLogic to enable customer adoption by standing up and tuning Big Data PoC environments (Cisco UCS + Cloudera Hadoop) for high-confidence demos.”
