Vetted Engineering Professionals in the NYC Metro

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building financial operations and transaction monitoring products from 0→1 through production scale. They stand out for owning React UI architecture, backend/API integration, and data-layer performance decisions while making pragmatic startup tradeoffs and improving features post-launch based on latency, error, and user feedback.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native backend and distributed systems

New York, NY4y exp

“Backend engineer focused on Python/FastAPI microservices running on Kubernetes (AWS EKS) with strong GitOps/CI/CD ownership (GitHub Actions + ArgoCD). Demonstrated measurable performance wins (p95 latency cut from >1s to <200ms) and production reliability work across Kafka/Redis streaming and cloud-to-on-prem migrations (RDS/S3 to Postgres/MinIO) using parallel validation and checksum-based consistency checks.”

“Has experience improving an ad server workflow by standardizing genre selection with templates, enabling reuse across multiple accounts and measuring success via hours of manual labor saved. Also delivered an internal technical demo on a device-metrics-to-AWS-CloudWatch logging workflow using whiteboarding and PowerPoint to onboard a new team.”

“JavaScript/React-focused engineer with meaningful open-source impact: redesigned cache key normalization for a client-side data fetching/caching library using deterministic hashing, added robust test coverage, and collaborated closely with maintainers through GitHub PRs/issues. Also drives measurable runtime improvements by profiling hot paths, refactoring core abstractions, and validating with benchmarks/load tests; has taken ownership of unowned initiatives like improving relevance/ranking in an internal search platform.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in data pipelines and full-stack web development

New York, NY1y exp

“Internship at Radar (geolocation infrastructure) where they owned automation of multiple geospatial data ingestion pipelines (including US/Canadian address ingestion), orchestrating Spark (Scala) jobs via Python-based Airflow and using GitOps-style CI/CD workflows.”

“Built AI-powered natural language search and summarization features for internal financial platforms at JPMorgan, with a strong focus on trust, compliance, auditability, and failure handling. Stands out for treating AI as one component in a larger enterprise system rather than a magic layer, and for combining hands-on LLM integration experience with thoughtful agent architecture and validation design.”

Mid-level Frontend Engineer specializing in design-focused web interfaces

New York, NY3y exp

“Design-engineering hybrid with experience shipping internal product improvements in a Rails environment and building polished cross-brand newsletter templates. Stands out for pragmatic product thinking: they stabilized a critical CSV export workflow for 250+ internal users, iterate based on feedback, and are comfortable killing features that do not deliver value.”

Yang Sherpa

Mid-level operations and analytics professional specializing in FinTech and client delivery

New York, NY5y exp

“Operations leader with ~5 years of experience in fintech, finance, and data operations, including scaling deal execution at EquityZen during the pre-IPO secondary market boom. Stands out for building process infrastructure in fast-moving, compliance-heavy environments—creating tracking systems, CRM workflows, and onboarding playbooks that increased deal volume and cut onboarding time from weeks to days.”

“Front-end engineer with significant ownership of sophisticated enterprise admin experiences in Cisco Webex Control Hub. Stands out for building permission-aware, route-driven UI architecture and solving tricky browser/CSS integration issues across shell and remote-entry boundaries while keeping the experience polished and consistent for expert users.”

“Backend engineer with production experience on an AWS Lambda-based payment service (manually deployed) and hands-on modernization work using parallel-run + diffing to prove parity before cutover. Has practical production troubleshooting experience for batch/pipeline incidents using monitoring/logs and emphasizes idempotent rerunnable jobs for safe recovery; also improved GraphQL performance by refactoring overly broad queries.”

“Data/ML backend engineer with hands-on production experience spanning RAG services (LlamaIndex/OpenAI) and AWS data platforms. Has delivered Terraform-managed AWS architectures (Lambda + ECS Fargate) with secure secrets handling, built Glue-to-Redshift ETL with schema evolution controls, modernized SAS reporting into Python microservices, and achieved major Redshift query speedups (2+ hours to under 15 minutes).”

“Built a production-style PyTorch LSTM system that generates structured piano compositions from 1200+ MIDI files, then significantly improved long-range musical coherence by implementing Bahdanau attention based on research literature. Also has internship experience using Docker Compose for containerized backend workloads and has independently used Ray to scale ML experiments across multiple GPUs, including dealing with GPU scheduling/memory oversubscription issues.”

“Solutions Engineer focused on application and platform security for enterprise cloud-native deployments, advising customers on threat modeling and secure CI/CD practices across AWS and Kubernetes. Has implemented SCA/container scanning and vuln checks in pipelines, tuned thresholds to reduce false positives, and driven outcomes like faster security approvals and smoother production rollouts. Troubleshot high-load Kubernetes failures (OOMKills, registry throttling) and turned fixes into a standard tuning guide.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer with primary ownership in enterprise Linux and AWS/Azure production environments (including financial systems). Built secure, repeatable CI/CD pipelines deploying containerized workloads to EKS/ECS and implemented Terraform/CloudFormation IaC with drift detection and rollback practices; lacks direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

Senior Solutions Architect specializing in cloud AI infrastructure and security

Union City, NJ9y exp

“Cloud-native architect focused primarily on AWS, with experience designing Kubernetes and AI/ML infrastructure for customers rather than owning day-to-day operations. Particularly interesting for AI platform roles: they described using Amazon Bedrock to analyze Terraform and automatically generate compliant IaC templates and runbooks for new multi-cloud AI environments.”

“Front-end/UI engineer who built and standardized a complex metadata component system for 2,500+ banking users across 40+ internal product surfaces. Stands out for combining design-system architecture, browser-level CSS expertise, and workflow-sensitive UX for demanding financial users, including a token system that resolved 488 style references and a reusable responsive component library adopted across five product areas.”

“Java full-stack developer who has owned data-intensive, customer-facing and internal web products end-to-end (React/Angular + Spring Boot), including CI/CD and production support. Demonstrates deep microservices experience with RabbitMQ/event-driven architecture, idempotency, DLQs, and compensating logic to maintain reliability and data consistency at scale, plus a track record of replacing spreadsheet-based ops reporting with an adopted real-time internal tool.”
