“Full-stack engineer who built an oil & gas analytics dashboard backend using FastAPI, MongoDB, and Redis with a metadata-driven design for dynamic plotting. Shipped an LLM-powered chatbot (LangChain + tool/function calling) to let engineers query analytics in natural language, and also built a multi-step university chatbot workflow with Azure logging, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop review.”

“QA automation engineer focused on end-to-end quality for a CMS lien registration workflow, owning a Playwright-based regression suite covering high-risk paths (creation, amendments, cancellation, batch file validation). Demonstrated impact by catching a UI change that bypassed required-field validation pre-release, stabilizing flaky CI tests using network-response signals, and driving clearer acceptance criteria and observability improvements (request IDs in logs) through cross-functional collaboration.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a sizable production estate (50 Power servers / ~200 LPARs) spanning VIOS/HMC, SAN/NFS, and PowerHA clusters. Demonstrates strong incident leadership (LPAR outage + split-brain recovery) and a process-improvement mindset with measurable reductions in recurrence/MTTR, while also bringing modern DevOps/IaC experience (Jenkins, ArgoCD, Terraform, security scanning, canary/blue-green).”

“Production infrastructure engineer from Textron Systems who owned IBM Power/AIX 7.2 environments supporting manufacturing-critical automated RF test workloads.

“Backend/full-stack Java engineer at PNC Bank specializing in real-time fraud detection systems. Built event-driven Spring Boot + Kafka microservices with PostgreSQL/Redis performance tuning, and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG feature for fraud analysts with strong guardrails (grounded internal data, structured prompts with references, human-in-the-loop) plus an evaluation loop using labeled historical fraud cases.”

“Software QA professional (non-gaming) with strong end-to-end release and production support experience in Agile environments. Led a large QA effort migrating customers from a legacy application to a new platform, owning test scope, deployment coordination, release sign-off, and issue troubleshooting. Known for evidence-rich bug reports (API-driven repro, logs/devtools) and disciplined tooling/documentation across Azure DevOps, Jira/Rally, and Confluence.”

“DevOps/Infrastructure engineer with hands-on production experience building Jenkins CI/CD pipelines that provision Kubernetes infrastructure and process data into a MapR cluster. Uses Terraform to provision AWS resources (EC2, S3, VPC, subnets) with remote state in S3, separate environment state files, and code review/validation practices; targeting $135k base.”

“UE5 UI/tools-focused developer who emphasizes production-ready, designer-friendly workflows: built a C++ enemy-spawn timeline actor with Slate-driven editor customization and memory-efficient event storage. Implemented an Enhanced Input keybinds menu (two keys per action) using MVVM-style separation and event dispatchers for low coupling and testability, and uses Unreal Insights to drive performance fixes (including refactoring tick-heavy plugin work and batching data queries to prevent UI hitches).”

“Cybersecurity leader with 13 years in IT/cyber and 8 years in management, currently managing ~200 people while innovating explainable AI (XAI) for military/high-stakes decision-making. Experienced with large budgets, resource allocation, and investor engagement, and is motivated to build a proactive, future-focused cyber company centered on Zero Trust and human-overseen XAI.”

“Former Cloud Engineer at Indivior (laid off in January) now focused on entrepreneurship; owns multiple businesses including a SaaS product with iOS and Android apps (strive.gifts). Has not raised funding yet and is considering raising working capital to hire full-time backend and UX/UI developers.”

“Built a demo-live LangGraph/LangSmith LLM agent that translates natural language into SQL against a self-built MLB statistics database, using a vector-store knowledge base of example queries. Focused on predictable orchestration via conditional nodes, YAML-driven behaviors, and tool-gated function calling, with testing via LangSmith and Python scripts.”

“Built and launched “Language AI,” a Next.js/TypeScript app that clones a user’s voice (via ElevenLabs) to deliver language lessons in their own voice, using Supabase for auth/Postgres/storage and hosting backend on Render. Post-launch, identified ElevenLabs voice-clone limits after initial users and reworked the pipeline to store audio assets and delete clones to support more concurrent users; also added Google auth to improve adoption. Previously worked in a high-growth startup environment (Study Park) taking concepts from ideation to production.”
