Vetted Engineering Professionals in the NYC Metro

“Robotics engineering intern and mechanical engineering master’s student who bridges hardware testing and ML/ROS2 software: built a PyTorch model to map motor test data across motor types using electrical specs (Kv/Kt/R/L) and validated it against new motors to meet strict torque/thermal accuracy targets. Also integrated CNN-based perception into ROS2 for real-time navigation and implemented MPC with time-synchronized multi-topic messaging to avoid stale-data control issues.”

“Backend/distributed-systems engineer with Uber experience building real-time telemetry and safety signal pipelines. Strong in Kafka-based event-driven architectures, low-latency processing under peak load, and production reliability via monitoring, retries, and fallback logic; has Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD deployment experience.”

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in Healthcare SaaS and supply chain systems

New York, NY11y exp

“Backend engineer with healthcare platform experience at Thirty Madison, combining Django for secure, data-heavy core services with FastAPI async microservices for real-time patient monitoring. Led Kubernetes migration with Istio service mesh, autoscaling (HPA), and stateful storage patterns, and implemented GitOps CI/CD using ArgoCD. Also built real-time Kafka streaming pipelines with reliability patterns like idempotent producers and offset management.”

“Full-stack product engineer who built a semantic word game end-to-end across web and mobile, including a custom ML-based scoring pipeline that replaced an expensive third-party API. Also has experience shipping real-time social learning features at BU Spark, with strong instincts around product ownership, UX polish, and pragmatic infrastructure choices.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech platforms

New York City, NY8y exp

“Built a production LLM pipeline at Walter AI that scans massive user inboxes, identifies financial newsletters, and extracts trading strategies into structured JSON for downstream paper-trading workflows. Stands out for combining agent architecture with strong production discipline—cutting scan time from 20 to 5 minutes, reducing LLM costs by 90%, and achieving 3-second P99 latency while handling messy, inconsistent email data at scale.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack development and applied ML

New York, NY2y exp

“Full-stack engineer with experience at Zoho and Amazon who has owned production systems end-to-end, including a monolith-to-microservices migration using Kafka and Cassandra that improved search latency ~25% and increased throughput without data loss. Also built a hackathon project (Buildwise) into a sold product for a construction company (AI-driven document compliance checks) and shipped an IoT-based parking availability MVP in 3 weeks.”

“Backend/AI systems engineer who has shipped production LLM agents focused on prompt engineering, code generation, and incident-response automation. Stands out for combining strong agent orchestration and reliability engineering with measurable business impact, including 60-70% cost reductions, 45% lower monthly LLM spend, and a 5x increase in developer iteration speed.”

“Frontend developer/designer who built an in-house real estate dashboard for Okhara & Company, owning the flow from Figma design through React implementation and production iteration. Worked in a small team environment, focused on turning complex backend outputs into usable, polished interfaces with responsive design, PWA support, and performance optimizations.”

“Financial systems engineer who built an automated rebalance-day order reporting and analytics tool on kdb+ pipelines, cutting a high-visibility manual process from 2–3 hours to ~2 minutes and expanding it from North America to EMEA/APAC. Also proposed an early production RAG-based incident knowledge assistant trained on ServiceNow postmortems, with guardrails to scope retrieval by application.”

“IBM engineer who shipped an LLM-powered knowledge transfer platform (Transition Engine) for federal contract handoffs, deployed on a production OpenShift cluster in AWS GovCloud with FedRAMP-aligned compliance and strict data-boundary constraints. Led retrieval strategy, prompt engineering, and production deployment (PostgreSQL/Milvus/Keycloak), driving a reported 50% reduction in contract transition ramp-up time and positioning the tool for revenue-critical federal deals.”
