Notable for combining heavy AI-assisted development with production safeguards like manual CR, CloudWatch monitoring, fallback strategies, benchmark testing, and user-feedback-driven model improvement.”

“Robotics-focused engineer with ROS 2 experience who has built and debugged real-time, distributed control/orchestration systems under production-like latency and safety constraints. Led platform changes at Persona for a real-time verification orchestration system using deterministic state machines and async workers, and has hands-on experience stabilizing multi-robot navigation/SLAM behavior using rosbag, RViz, and stress testing in simulation (Gazebo).”

“AWS-focused software engineer who built a self-serve ETL pipeline scheduling service for non-engineers, including automated CloudFormation-based onboarding that cut setup time from 2–3 weeks to ~5 minutes. Strong in production reliability and customer-facing data platforms (EMR/DynamoDB/Lambda), with examples spanning pagination at scale, cross-table consistency, and phased rollouts to improve Parquet log SLAs.”

“Player-coach engineer/lead on a high-scale research integrity platform ("Lighthouse") that flags fraud/manipulation signals across ~3M academic manuscripts per year. Owns architecture decisions (ADRs), implements across Go/Java/React services, and introduced NLP (SciBERT embeddings + human-in-the-loop) to assess out-of-context citations while also handling production incidents with a data-consistency-first approach.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in AI agents, RAG pipelines, and semiconductor systems

Taipei, Taiwan3y exp

“Built a web-based interface that connects an internal bug system to an LLM for initial debugging and issue classification, aiming to boost QA and software engineer efficiency while balancing latency and accuracy. Worked as a one-person project and managed constraints like limited hardware and difficulty extracting team debugging context, relying on manager communication and rapid modeling to validate direction.”

“Frontend engineer with significant ownership of Bloomberg's Japanese regional platform, building a complex multi-app Next.js experience for retail investors and financial professionals. Stands out for combining high-scale localization architecture, advanced TypeScript/component-system design, and measurable UX performance wins in demanding financial products.”

“Amazon Health AI engineer who has owned both full-stack clinical product features and production LLM systems end to end. Built HIPAA-compliant GraphQL and agentic RAG architectures for provider workflows across 125,000+ patients, with measurable impact including 30% higher clinical relevance, 55% lower lookup time, and 12% less false medical information.”

“Full-stack engineer at Vanguard who architected and shipped a production AI onboarding chatbot using React, Python, LangChain, RAG, and AWS Bedrock, reaching 50,000+ prospects in two months and reducing drop-off by 26%. Particularly compelling for teams building regulated AI products: they combine hands-on full-stack delivery with guardrails, observability, and experimentation, and also build consumer AI products on the side in endurance coaching.”

“Robotics software engineer with internship experience at John Deere and AeroVironment, working across C++/Python stacks and ROS2-based systems. Drove a proof-of-concept migration from an x86/FPGA target to NVIDIA GPU solutions and helped turn a hackathon prototype into a production-ready, CI/CD-driven build-and-deploy workflow with comprehensive automated testing.”
