Vetted Engineering Professionals in the DMV

“Customer-facing software engineer who rapidly turns business requirements into Figma prototypes and PoC applications, using workflow prioritization and frequent client reviews to stay aligned. Has hands-on experience integrating with existing authentication/user APIs, building MongoDB-backed caching, and implementing robust fallback/retry mechanisms. Comfortable working on-site with customers and resolving production issues in AWS (e.g., DNS/EC2 traffic routing) in collaboration with DevOps.”

“Backend/platform engineer with hands-on ownership of Kubernetes GitOps delivery (GitHub Actions + Argo CD) on AWS EKS, including progressive rollouts and reliable rollback across interdependent microservices. Built a Python/FastAPI ML-driven document-processing service (PostgreSQL + S3) to complement existing Spring Boot systems, and implemented Kafka streaming pipelines with Schema Registry plus Prometheus/Grafana observability. Also supported a hybrid cloud-to-on-prem migration for compliance/latency with phased rollout and incremental PostgreSQL migration.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in agentic automation and AI platforms

Washington, DC2y exp

“Backend-leaning founding/early engineer who built automation platforms end-to-end: FastAPI/Python services integrated with a Next.js/TypeScript frontend, including a production VNC streaming URL endpoint for cloud-instance desktop viewing. Also designed core Postgres user/workflow data models and built an agentic orchestration system with LangChain/LangGraph (sub-agents, validators, pause/resume), plus made scalability tradeoffs like S3 pre-signed uploads to keep microservices responsive.”

Senior Robotics Software Engineer specializing in ROS 2 autonomy and distributed systems

College Park, MD6y exp

“Robotics Software Engineer with 2.5 years at the Army Research Lab building production tools and cloud infrastructure for large-scale ROS/Unity simulation on AWS. Created a Python GUI to streamline analysis of massive (100GB) ROS bag/MCAP datasets and has deep ROS2/Nav2 performance debugging experience (executor/QoS/TF tracing). Also built an in-house ROS perception pipeline for an assembly-line use case, reaching 92% accuracy.”

“Software QA professional (non-gaming) with strong end-to-end release and production support experience in Agile environments. Led a large QA effort migrating customers from a legacy application to a new platform, owning test scope, deployment coordination, release sign-off, and issue troubleshooting. Known for evidence-rich bug reports (API-driven repro, logs/devtools) and disciplined tooling/documentation across Azure DevOps, Jira/Rally, and Confluence.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who has built and operated event-driven microservices platforms (FastAPI/React/TypeScript, Kafka, Kubernetes) and internal DevOps tooling. Delivered measurable impact through user-feedback-driven iteration (WebSockets update mechanism cutting redundant API calls ~30%) and operational improvements (deployment monitoring dashboard reducing rollback time ~40%), with strong focus on reliability, observability, and data consistency at scale.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and healthcare IT

Fairfax, VA3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with experience in both healthcare and transportation, owning products from requirements through production support. Built a secure patient-records pipeline at CORAnet using Spring Boot, AWS S3, Docker, and Terraform, and shipped a real-time operational metrics dashboard at BNSF with Java, React/TypeScript, and Kafka. Stands out for combining backend architecture depth, infrastructure ownership, and pragmatic UI simplification.”
