Vetted Engineering Professionals in the NYC Metro

“Front-end engineer who has independently built sophisticated browser UIs in regulated and high-visibility environments, including an FDA-related medical research dashboard with AI-powered document search and a large-scale animated event site for Prologis. Stands out for combining deep browser performance expertise with strong UX instincts for expert users working with complex, data-heavy workflows.”

“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.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built production-grade intelligence systems in high-stakes domains including tax/legal document analysis and brain tumor MRI workflows. Stands out for combining LLM/RAG product delivery with strong engineering rigor around retrieval evaluation, grounding, validation, observability, and safe fallbacks—turning impressive demos into systems users could actually trust.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who discusses building production React features integrated with backend APIs, Redux, and Algolia search. Shows strong awareness of maintainability and release safety through TypeScript modeling, feature flags, Sidekiq for async processing, and post-launch monitoring of traffic and pod memory.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who has rebuilt a high-volume order management system in Next.js/TypeScript for 6000+ active orders and also owned end-to-end product/data architecture in Firebase/Firestore. Stands out for strong performance instincts, type-safe frontend architecture, and pragmatic 0→1 execution across UI, APIs, and data pipelines.”

“FinTech engineer who has owned customer-facing onboarding deployments end-to-end, combining React/Node.js application development with workflow automation and post-launch operational metrics. They also implemented an LLM-driven onboarding assistant using contextual prompts and backend orchestration, and showed practical production experience debugging non-deterministic AI behavior caused by stale pipeline context.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in authentication and SolidJS/TypeScript

New York City, NY3y exp

“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.”

Mid-level Design Engineer specializing in product design and front-end implementation

New York City, NY4y exp

“Product designer-builder who codes, with a rare end-to-end profile spanning product strategy, UX, design systems, frontend engineering, and AI integration. Built PetCloud/PetClub as a fully solo product in Next.js/TypeScript/Supabase and has also driven measurable UX gains in company settings, including 25% higher engagement, faster design-to-dev handoff, and fewer UI bugs.”

“Backend engineer focused on reliability and production operations, with hands-on experience implementing an outbox pattern to keep database updates and downstream events consistent. They also described diagnosing transaction-related latency under heavy client traffic and using monitoring data to validate performance improvements, showing a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to scaling integrations.”

“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).”

“Full-stack JavaScript engineer with hands-on ownership of a retail loyalty platform spanning Next.js on Vercel and NestJS microservices on Azure. Stands out for designing complex real-time and event-driven flows, including Bluetooth-connected React Native work, shared TypeScript contracts across frontend/backend, and production reliability patterns like webhooks, revalidation, logging, and retry Cron jobs.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building finance and contract management products, including a React/Redux dashboard and an automated reconciliation system integrating internal platforms with QuickBooks. Stands out for combining frontend architecture and performance work with backend/API, SQL reconciliation logic, and real finance operations domain knowledge.”

“Frontend-focused engineer with experience building internal editorial tools at Healthcentral using React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, Node.js, and MongoDB. Stands out for simplifying complex CMS workflows and solving real production performance issues, including a JW Player migration optimized with a facade-based lazy-loading approach.”

“Front-end engineer in cybersecurity who has been a key owner in moving a legacy Razor-based risk mitigation platform to Vue 3. Stands out for practical UI modernization work: standardizing architecture, improving responsiveness, and creating reusable table/filtering components that made a complex internal application more consistent and efficient for users.”

“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.”
