Vetted Engineering Professionals in the NYC Metro

“Sole developer behind BirdieAI, an AI-powered golf booking platform built from the ground up, spanning frontend UX, backend services, AWS infrastructure, and Postgres database management. Worked directly with a cofounder in a startup setting to scope and ship an MVP, then improved production reliability significantly by reducing a key extraction failure from 1 in 15 to 1 in 300 while adding operational safeguards and user-driven product improvements.”

“Lead front-end engineer focused on large-scale React microfrontend enterprise platforms, with experience spanning telecom e-commerce and financial services. Stands out for combining architecture ownership with deep browser-level performance expertise, including a 42-45% route transition improvement and UX changes that cut workflow completion times by about 25% for demanding institutional users.”

“Cloud-focused DevOps/Infrastructure engineer with hands-on AWS high availability, migration cutovers, and production automation. Built Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines (Git, SonarQube, Artifactory) and manages Terraform IaC with S3/DynamoDB remote state, PR-based reviews, and staged environment promotion; targets $160k base. No direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

“Full-stack engineer with fintech and AI product experience: built HuddleAI end-to-end on Firebase/React, including a serverless LLM meeting-intelligence pipeline (FFmpeg + Google Speech-to-Text + GPT-4 with schema validation) and Slack notifications. At Gemini, owned a Postgres/Scala workflow change for wire deposit approvals that cut blocked registrations by 60% and emphasized correctness/compliance in UK/EU transaction-state UI.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI services on AWS and implementing strong reliability/observability (CloudWatch, ELK, correlation IDs, alarms). Has delivered serverless + container solutions with IaC (CloudFormation/Terraform) and Jenkins CI/CD, and built AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution and data-quality safeguards; demonstrated large-scale SQL tuning (45 min to 3 min on a 500M-row workload).”

“VR/social platform engineer with experience at AltspaceVR, Mozilla Hubs, and Dopple, spanning Unity/C#, custom engine networking, and early voice-agent systems. Particularly compelling for roles at the intersection of multiplayer, XR, and AI: they’ve built data-driven avatar systems, ownership-based netcode, VR replay capture, and a custom real-time voice->LLM->voice stack integrated with hardware and computer vision.”

“Deloitte technical implementation lead who functioned like a pre-sales/solutions engineer for ABBYY's intelligent document processing within the Argus GenAI platform. They supported enterprise-scale rollouts across 10+ countries, tailored deployments for local market needs, and combined integration, compliance, and Python automation work to deliver 95%+ extraction accuracy.”
