Vetted Engineering Professionals in California

“Robotics software engineer focused on production-grade autonomous mobile robot (AMR) navigation in warehouse-style environments, with deep hands-on ROS2/ROS Noetic experience across SLAM, AMCL/NDT LiDAR localization, and Nav2 integration. Strong in real-time debugging and performance tuning using rosbag-driven regression workflows, plus containerized deployment (Docker/Compose) and distributed robot/edge-device communication via MQTT/REST.”

“Software engineering intern experience at Zoho Corp and Zeus Desk building and deploying customer-facing systems. Delivered a real-time booking platform backend that stayed stable for 1,000+ users by optimizing MySQL queries/indexing and shipping hotfixes during production latency incidents. Also integrated financial operations APIs across 50+ small-bank partners by creating a normalization/validation layer to handle inconsistent partner data and prevent integration breakages.”

“AI/LLM engineer who has shipped production systems end-to-end, including a note-taking product (Notey) combining audio/image capture, ASR, summarization, and a semantic chat agent over past notes. Also has applied ML experience in healthcare, collaborating directly with doctors to validate an EEG seizure-detection pipeline, and uses Kubernetes to optimize GPU usage for LLM training.”

“Robotics software contributor on an SJSU Robotics Mars rover hub, where they built a C++ camera gimbal driver using the Libhal open-source library and implemented/tuned PI/PID control to achieve stable servo behavior.”

“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.”

“Cal Poly student with embedded + networking + robotics project experience, including an E4E summer research internship building an acoustic collar on an STM32 and collaborating weekly with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. Built a hobby ESP32-based Spotify “now playing” display and demonstrated strong cross-domain debugging by tracing failures to router behavior rather than code.”

“Automation and customer-facing technical specialist with experience at QA Wolf and Kalmar, taking Playwright E2E testing from prototype scripts into CI-gated production pipelines (80%+ automated coverage). Also trained both software teams and industrial operations audiences (Fleet View for automated straddle carriers) and partnered with sales/customer teams to translate technical results (e.g., Siemens PLC updates, QA ROI) into adoption and faster closes.”

“Senior engineering student leading a robotics capstone using a Jetson Nano + Yahboom DOFBOT to play whiteboard games (Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman) via computer vision and ML. Owns the inverse kinematics and OpenCV pipeline, uses Gazebo/URDF for simulation, and is planning C++/multithreading/Pybind11 optimizations to meet real-time constraints on limited embedded hardware.”

“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.”

“Full-stack engineer who built an email/SMS marketing platform from the ground up using PHP (Yii2/Laravel) and JS (jQuery/Vue components), including campaign reporting, A/B testing, and extensive ESP/SMS integrations (Mailgun/Mailjet/Twilio plus AWS SES/SNS). Notably scaled the system for very large contact ingestion by migrating from MySQL to ClickHouse and implemented reliability measures like retries, logging, and rate limiting.”

“Full-stack software engineer who shipped production systems in academic and e-commerce contexts, including a UC Irvine course recommendation platform with async Kafka-based OCR processing (Tesseract) and LangChain-driven recommendations. Strong in building polished React/TypeScript dashboards (Figma-to-implementation) and owning Python backends (FastAPI/Flask) with solid API design, caching, and AWS EKS deployments; delivered measurable impact (tripled engagement, ~50% faster processing).”
