Vetted Engineering Professionals in the San Diego Metro

“Frontend engineer with strong ownership of revenue-critical checkout experiences, including cart, payment, and confirmation flows used across four subscription programs. Stands out for combining architecture, performance optimization, and analytics-driven product thinking—improving load times by 20% and shipping Apple Pay and referral features tied to increased revenue.”

“Built and shipped an internal Financial Insights Assistant for banking analysts, owning the experience from workflow design through React frontend, FastAPI backend, and AI search integration. Particularly strong in making AI products usable and trustworthy by surfacing sources, experts, suggested prompts, and search history to improve confidence and speed.”

“Robotics software engineer who built a lightweight, ROS-free distributed control and telemetry stack for a Caltrans long-range culvert inspection robot. Strong in integrating heterogeneous hardware (UART motor controllers, Ethernet sensors, MJPEG cameras) and delivering real-time operator data via FastAPI/WebSockets, including reverse-engineering undocumented protocols and debugging network-induced latency with control-loop redesign.”

“Built a Python pipeline to monitor and classify public posts from sources like Hacker News and Reddit for SWE/tech job opportunities, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and recoverable failures. Also currently building a court queueing system for the UCSD Badminton Club, showing an ability to turn messy, informal real-world processes into practical automation through iterative user feedback.”

“Early-career engineer who built and launched a zero-to-one AI-driven approval workflow at SDSU that is used daily by roughly 2,000 university users. They owned the system end-to-end—from FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend to React UI—and showed strong judgment around LLM reliability, using a two-step pipeline, validation checks, and human-review fallbacks to cut manual processing time by about 80%.”
