Vetted Engineering Professionals in New Jersey

“Built and productionized an LLM-driven document verification workflow for a construction firm’s submittals process, moving from a Vercel/Next.js prototype to a FastAPI + LangChain/LangGraph backend with background workers and multi-server deployment. Uses LLM tools (e.g., OpenAI Codex/Cloud Code) for rapid development and log-driven root cause analysis, and partners with customer teams on evaluation metrics and iterative improvements.”

“Backend engineer with recent Barclays experience building a Python asyncio + Kafka risk reporting service for trading desks, including a major refactor from blocking batch processing to event-driven incremental pipelines to restore intraday/EOD performance. Also shipped an applied AI feature using OpenAI fine-tuning to classify risk-breach severity and generate trader/risk-manager summaries with robust retry/fallback handling, plus demonstrated strong database/query optimization (triggers, materialized views, partial indexes) in a risk-limits/breaches domain.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with production experience in both healthcare (claims enrichment/interoperability at Abacus) and finance (Goldman Sachs pricing/risk APIs + React dashboards). Built an event-driven AI grading platform using Postgres Debezium CDC + Kafka + FastAPI on AWS that cut manual grading ~70% and served 1000+ students, with strong emphasis on reliability, testing, and performance tuning.”

“Built and deployed an LLM/RAG system that uses differential privacy and distributional similarity checks to transform private data into a non-sensitive knowledge base while preserving utility. Also has experience demonstrating adversarial ML concepts (FGSM) to non-technical audiences by focusing on observable model behavior rather than implementation details.”

“Built and productionized a GenAI prompt-engineering solution to retrieve prevailing wages based on job/location selections, emphasizing accuracy through stricter prompt templates and validation. Hands-on in real-time production debugging using Splunk (callback tracing, verbose logging, header inspection) and experienced running developer-facing demos/workshops that helped drive marketplace API adoption.”

“JavaScript/React/TypeScript engineer with hands-on open-source experience improving a hooks utility library—fixed a reported async race condition that reduced unexpected re-renders and added a debounced callback hook that became widely used. Brings a production-minded approach to performance and abstractions (APM/metrics-driven, DB/caching focus) with strong testing, documentation, and community support practices.”

“Backend-focused engineer at Wells Fargo owning production payments features end-to-end, including Spring Boot REST services, CI/CD + containerized AWS deployments, and CloudWatch-based observability. Has hands-on experience stabilizing high-traffic transaction workflows and building reliable ingestion/integration flows using idempotency, retries/backoff, and reconciliation.”

“Backend/microservices engineer who built a Python (Flask/MySQL) data-processing microservice for an internal analytics platform and improved slow responses via query optimization and caching. Has hands-on Kubernetes experience on AWS EKS with GitLab CI/CD, plus GitOps workflows using Helm and ArgoCD. Also built a real-time Kafka order-event pipeline and supported a cloud-to-on-prem migration with standardized, containerized configuration and gradual traffic cutover.”

“QA Automation Engineer with 7+ years building dependable enterprise automation suites across UI, API, and database layers using Selenium (Java), Playwright, Karate, and Cypress. Integrates smoke/regression suites into CI/CD (GitLab/Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with reporting and notifications, and has prevented production issues by catching silent backend failures and high-impact payment defects through end-to-end validation and strong root-cause evidence.”

“Backend engineer who designed and evolved an AWS-based event-processing system in Python/PostgreSQL, achieving a 60% p95 latency reduction while improving reliability during traffic spikes. Led a zero-downtime migration from a monolithic Django app to FastAPI microservices using feature flags, strong testing, and cross-team coordination, with production-grade observability (Prometheus/Grafana/CloudWatch) and security (JWT/OAuth2, RBAC, Postgres RLS).”
