Vetted Engineering Professionals in the Los Angeles Metro

“Backend/AI engineer with production experience in legal tech: built a high-scale licensing/subscription API (FastAPI/Postgres/Stripe) and shipped a RAG-based chatbot for an eDiscovery platform. Designed a robust legal document ingestion workflow that processes thousands of documents into a searchable vector index with clear retry/escalation logic, and has demonstrated measurable Postgres performance wins (200ms to 10ms) using EXPLAIN ANALYZE and composite indexing.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built a time-sensitive data retrieval system for a source with no public API, using an AWS EC2-hosted persistent browser session plus a PostgreSQL TTL caching layer—cutting manual retrieval by 99% and achieving sub-10-second average retrieval. Emphasizes production security (Secrets Manager, encryption, IP allowlisting, rate limiting) and robustness via testing and edge-case handling (atomic file operations).”

“Machine learning lab assistant at Eastern Illinois University who productionized a voice-enabled conversational AI system: redesigned it with RAG, LoRA fine-tuning (including text-to-SQL), and safety guardrails, then deployed a scalable API supporting ~1,000 daily queries. Also partnered with customer-facing teams during a BlueFi internship by building demos/APIs and accelerating releases via Terraform + AWS CI/CD automation.”

“Customer-facing LLM/agent workflow specialist who repeatedly takes unstable prototypes to production by enforcing strict I/O contracts, validation/guardrails, and reliability patterns (logging, retries, timeouts, monitoring). Strong in real-time troubleshooting using logs and payload inspection, and known for live demos/workshops that teach teams to self-debug. Partners closely with sales by building POCs in customer environments to unblock trials and drive faster deal closure and adoption.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building a FastAPI Python service on AWS for real-time AI workflows (Postgres/Redis, containers behind API Gateway) with strong reliability practices (JWT auth, timeouts/retries, health checks). Has delivered AWS infrastructure using Terraform + GitHub Actions across environments, built Glue ETL pipelines into Snowflake with idempotent recovery, and modernized legacy batch workflows via parallel-run parity validation and phased cutovers.”

“Backend ERP developer specializing in Odoo (Python MVC) with hands-on experience integrating ERP workflows with external SQL databases and handling cloud deployment compatibility issues. Led a migration of ~40 years of legacy data into a modern ERP using scripted transforms and unique identifiers to preserve data integrity, and has experience implementing role-based permissions and preventing failure modes in SQL status update flows.”

“Backend engineer who built and evolved ConGreG8 end-to-end: a stateless Node/Express REST API on MongoDB for fast, location-based church discovery. Demonstrates strong performance and operability discipline (instrumentation, p95 latency, slow-query analysis) with a reported ~30% response-time improvement, plus security depth via JWT/OAuth and Supabase-style row-level security. Experienced in safe refactors with contract preservation, dual-read validation, and incremental rollouts.”
