Junior QA Engineer specializing in test automation for web applications

Oakland, CA3y exp

“QA automation engineer with healthcare web experience who owned an end-to-end automated test suite (Java/Cucumber/Selenium and Cypress) and integrated it into CI/CD (Jenkins to GitHub Actions, qTest DoD gates). Known for boosting regression coverage to ~93%, stabilizing flaky Cypress tests, and catching production-impacting pipeline/environment redirect issues through workflow updates and cross-browser/regional scenario testing.”

Krishna Guda

Principal Product Engineer specializing in FinTech platforms, experimentation, and AI workflows

Mountain View, CA24y exp

“Fintech product engineer working on a large-scale credit monitoring platform (tens of millions of users) with deep experience in regulated banking integrations, PII security, and step-up/MFA flows. Has shipped customer-facing React/TypeScript experiences driven by Optimizely experimentation and built reliable partner-facing microservices/SDKs on AWS, including resolving production traffic loss caused by edge security (DataDome/CAPTCHA) conflicts with payment providers.”

Parth Tusham

Intern Software Engineer specializing in systems, cloud, and security

Sunnyvale, CA1y exp

“Systems and infrastructure engineer pivoting toward robotics software; brings strong low-level debugging, multithreaded systems, and networking experience where correctness and timing matter. Has hands-on experience using Docker and CI/CD to build reproducible test/evaluation environments (thesis), and proposes a disciplined, contract-driven approach to distributed communication and real-time performance debugging.”

“Built Multipass at Gemini, a Flask/React system that provisioned AWS access across 98 accounts for 400+ engineers, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and hardening brittle auth flows. Earlier at Deloitte, turned a Word-doc HR onboarding SOP for CVS Health into 45 Workday integrations using XML/XSLT, cutting manual work by 38% and improving data accuracy by 12%.”

“Software engineer intern at Nutanix who independently shipped and maintained an internal smoke-test/failure-analysis dashboard, integrating failure data from multiple upstream systems (e.g., Jira, Jenkins, CircleCI) via REST APIs. Also has prior data-science experience building Postgres-based asset management analytics with automated reporting and indexing for faster time-series retrieval.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on compliance and statistical processing systems on AWS, building containerized FastAPI services plus event-driven async workflows (Step Functions/EventBridge) with strong reliability patterns (JWT auth, idempotency, structured logging). Has modernized SAS-based batch pipelines into modular Python/AWS services with parallel-run parity validation, and has demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (40+ min to <10 min) and hands-on incident ownership using CloudWatch-driven detection and prevention.”

“AI/full-stack engineer with experience delivering production-critical healthcare AI at Roche (digital pathology imaging platform using Microsoft Gigapath for cancer diagnosis) and building scalable LLM-backed products. Strong in designing async AI backends (Django/Celery/Postgres/Redis on GCP), reliability engineering (Datadog, incident response), and agent-style document analysis workflows with evaluation loops.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned a production merchant-activity aggregation and event publishing system processing ~500k merchants daily. Built a Snowflake-based daily KPI summarization pipeline orchestrated via AWS Glue/SQS and an ECS Spring Boot publisher that encrypts and publishes events to Kafka, with strong operational monitoring and reconciliation. Drove major scalability wins (10x throughput) via caching around encryption/key-management and designed selective reprocessing to handle late-arriving data cost-effectively.”

“Backend/microservices engineer with fintech loan-lifecycle experience operating low-latency (sub-250ms) services in production using Kafka, idempotent transaction design, and Datadog observability. Also built an end-to-end LLM chatbot (React + Flask) with a decoupled model integration layer (FLAN-T5 via Hugging Face) and has experience designing partner-facing REST APIs with OAuth2/JWT and Swagger documentation.”

Yash Nileshkumar Mirani

Screened

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI agents, data pipelines, and cloud systems

Sunnyvale, CA5y exp

“Generalist software engineer with recent contract work at Vertex Pharmaceuticals shipping a desktop-integrated RAG assistant for lab scientists (2000+ pages ingested; ~40% support-ticket reduction in pilot). Previously owned Python/AWS financial automation services at Amazon operating at multi-billion-dollar scale, with strong strengths in API design, observability, and database/performance tuning; also built a React/TypeScript AI contract analysis product (ContractsGuy).”

Carlos Morales

Director-level QA Manager specializing in AAA game testing, live services, and VR worlds

San Francisco, CA16y exp

“Game QA professional with ~5 years in embedded QA roles across major studios (Experis Game Solutions, Activision, Ubisoft, Meta), including ownership of the Weapons feature area on Ubisoft’s XDefiant and feature testing on Warzone. Known for risk-based, cross-system test coverage (matchmaking/party, progression, entitlements/MTX, performance across PC/console, live-service integrations) and for leading cross-discipline meetings and release readiness reviews.”

“Engineering leader (player-coach) recently at Autodesk driving a major sales-motion transformation spanning account hierarchy, commissions/quotas, and downstream financial/sales forecasting impacts. Led cross-functional design with enterprise architects and shipped the end-to-end release, using POCs and Anaplan what-if modeling to validate a risky hierarchy change while coordinating delivery across India/Singapore teams and instituting structured Jira-based tech debt/support tracking and automation (dbt, GitHub Copilot).”
