Vetted Engineering Professionals in the NYC Metro

“Backend engineer focused on real-time, event-driven distributed systems (Node.js/TypeScript) with strict latency and reliability requirements. Deep hands-on experience debugging concurrency issues and designing resilient workflows (idempotency, circuit breakers, compensating actions) with strong observability; familiar with ROS/ROS2 concepts and confident ramping into robotics integrations.”

“Mid-level full-stack engineer (Los Angeles) who built and shipped an end-to-end authentication system for SolidAuth, an open-source SolidStart ecosystem library published to NPM with 1000+ downloads. Experienced designing React/TypeScript + Node + Postgres architectures, operating lightweight production systems on AWS (EC2/S3/RDS/IAM/CloudWatch), and building resilient third-party ingestion/integration flows with idempotency, retries, queues, and backfills; also worked in an early-stage NIL startup (OFFSZN) shipping core onboarding/profile features amid changing requirements.”

“Union College robotics graduate with hands-on ROS experience building an independent “waiter bot” that took spoken orders (Mozilla DeepSpeech), used OpenCV, and navigated via SLAM on a TurtleBot with LiDAR. Also led the Union College Robotics crew for four years and implemented PID control for micromouse maze robots; has additional software deployment experience with Dockerized FastAPI and CI/CD from coursework.”

“Backend engineer (Encore) who led the evaluation and redesign of a high-volume, low-latency real-time retrieval/ranking and inference platform on AWS, shifting from tightly coupled services to a modular architecture for better fault isolation and independent scaling. Strong focus on production reliability, observability, and security (JWT/RBAC, multi-tenant scoping, Postgres/Supabase RLS), with disciplined migration playbooks (feature flags, shadow traffic, dual writes/reconciliation).”

“Backend/DevOps-leaning engineer who has owned a Python serverless platform on AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, Step Functions), including complex multi-step business workflows with transaction-based consistency and robust failure handling. Also supported an on-prem SQL to Azure Data Lake migration by building and monitoring Python + Azure Data Factory ETL pipelines, and led GitOps-style CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions (tests, security scans, automated deployments).”

“Cloud infrastructure/DevOps engineer focused on AWS/Azure production environments, with hands-on experience running EKS-based platforms, Terraform-driven IaC, and secure Jenkins/GitLab CI pipelines. Has led real-world migrations from EC2 to Kubernetes using blue/green cutovers and executed multi-AZ failover testing with documented same-day recovery and no data loss; does not have direct IBM Power/AIX ownership experience.”
