Vetted Engineering Professionals in the Los Angeles Metro

“Product-minded full-stack engineer at a B2B startup who ships high-stakes customer-facing features fast: delivered a Spanish AI support agent in 2 weeks by benchmarking LLMs and using native Spanish system prompts, reaching 90% resolution. Built the company’s first monetization system (hybrid subscription + usage) with Stripe/Firebase, emphasizing secure JWT-based flows and idempotent webhooks, and led a microservices decoupling effort that cut developer onboarding time by 50%.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production-grade Python microservices and AWS platforms, including a hybrid Lambda + ECS Fargate architecture managed with Terraform and CI/CD. Has hands-on reliability experience (JWT/OAuth, timeouts, retries, centralized error classification) and built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines consolidating PostgreSQL/RDS, MongoDB, and S3 sources into curated partitioned Parquet datasets. Demonstrated measurable SQL tuning impact (8 minutes to 25 seconds) and disciplined legacy-to-modern migrations with parity validation and UAT sign-off.”

“Backend-focused engineer who has built and refactored FastAPI services backed by MongoDB, emphasizing async concurrency, stateless design for horizontal scaling, and performance tuning via indexing and request-level timing. Has implemented production authentication patterns (JWT, SSO, OAuth2 + PKCE) and user/org-scoped access controls, and improved reliability of LLM document-extraction APIs with fallback mechanisms.”

“Founding/solo engineer who rebuilt an early-stage product from the ground up: Ask NETA, an AI assistant for electricians to answer complex electrical code questions. Delivered a full-stack TypeScript system (React web + React Native iOS/Android, Express API, Postgres on AWS) with CI/CD, observability, and a Vertex AI RAG pipeline, reaching 3,000 MAUs in the first month; also built a real-time distributed scoring system handling unreliable hardware data with sequencing and retries.”

“End-to-end engineer who has productionized AI automation and RAG capabilities, building full-stack systems (React/Node/Redis/Postgres + vector DB) with evaluation-driven quality gates and monitoring. Reported ~60% reduction in manual ops time and major turnaround improvements, and has experience modernizing legacy systems safely via feature flags and parallel runs while working across product, data, and ops teams (System1).”

“QA automation engineer who owns and modernizes end-to-end test automation across Selenium (Java) and Cypress (JavaScript), integrating suites into GitLab CI/CD with PR gating, nightly runs, and Sauce Labs reporting/recordings. Demonstrated impact by catching a session-timeout workflow issue in CI that manual testing missed and by reducing flakiness through stack upgrades, coding standards, and API-synchronized assertions.”
