Vetted Engineering Professionals in California

“Engineering manager leading a 15-person team at FBN on the Gridbull platform, shipping a self-serve pricing/quoting tool for structured commodity products using real-time futures market data. Owns architecture and reliability for third-party data integrations (WebSocket + REST fallback), including resolving a day-one production incident caused by undocumented vendor connection resets. Introduced lightweight Technical Implementation Plans to improve cross-functional alignment and delivery speed in a high-growth environment.”

“Game QA professional with live production experience owning QA strategy for a cross-platform seasonal loadout system in a live server shooter. Works in Agile/Scrum with CI/CD, using Jira + TestRail (including two-way sync) to drive traceable test coverage and fast triage via evidence-rich bug reports. Emphasizes risk-based coverage, regression discipline across builds, and converting gameplay feel into actionable design/engineering feedback.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong real-time and applied AI experience: built an internal AI “virtual subject matter expert” platform at Shell Energy serving ~1,800 employees with sub-200ms response streaming. Diagnosed AWS load balancer WebSocket disconnects and shipped reliability fixes (heartbeats, reconnect/backoff, session resume), and implemented AI production guardrails (eval suite, drift monitoring, confidence thresholds, citations, human-in-the-loop) that reportedly cut hallucinations by ~90%.”

“Built and operated a production TypeScript backend for a stateful conversational quoting chatbot at Tringapps, orchestrating multi-step workflows and session state while integrating with Salesforce and NetSuite. Implemented validation/retry logic, modular architecture, and strong logging/observability to handle real-world edge cases and external API failures.”

“DevOps engineer focused on CI/CD who built and productionized LLM/MCP-based chat agents integrated into Cisco Webex to help developers troubleshoot PRs and pipelines via GitHub/Jenkins data. Strong in operationalizing agentic systems with observability (OpenTelemetry/Grafana), user-scoped rate limiting, and Kubernetes-based scaling, and has presented demos on agent SDK capabilities and DORA metrics dashboards.”

“Forward-deployed engineer/tech lead who built an end-to-end demand planning and forecasting application for a major US steel manufacturer, integrating Snowflake data into the C3 platform with batch/MapReduce workflows, monitoring, and a React/TypeScript UI. Also productionized an enterprise LLM integration with structured outputs and authorization guardrails, reporting +30% stakeholder engagement and broad adoption across customer deployments.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned production systems end-to-end, including a Dockerized Node.js/TypeScript probabilistic fault-tree analysis service for nuclear safety research deployed on AWS. Also built and operated a FastAPI-based RAG pipeline over 200+ PDFs using FAISS, focusing on low-latency, idempotent workflows and strong observability; experienced with API design and Playwright E2E automation across React/Angular projects.”

“Backend-focused engineer with strong .NET/Angular experience building enterprise financial and healthcare systems, including microservice APIs deployed with Docker/Kubernetes and AWS ECS. Demonstrates production reliability skills across secrets management (Secrets Manager/IAM), incident response (CloudWatch + Kafka failover), and data engineering patterns from SSIS ETL (data quality, incremental recovery), plus proven SQL tuning with a 10-minute report reduced to under 30 seconds.”

“Built a production Medicare Q&A chatbot using OCR (pytesseract), LangChain chunking, ChromaDB embeddings/retrieval, and an Ollama LLM. Thinks in terms of practical tradeoffs (cost, model selection, static vs frequently-updated corpora) and emphasizes deterministic testing plus observability for reliable LLM workflows; also has experience automating non-technical teams' pain points (e.g., recruiting event integration).”

“Gameplay QA professional with hands-on experience testing and iterating on live production changes for 2XKO, including move/frame adjustments and system interactions. Known for structured ISTQB-based test planning, video-backed documentation, and strong defect isolation (e.g., tracing knockdown roll issues to collision capsule sizing) to speed up developer triage and resolution.”
