Vetted Engineering Professionals

“University Rover Competition autonomous-systems lead who architects and debugs a full ROS 2 autonomy stack (Nav2, vSLAM, EKF fusion) and backs it with strong engineering hygiene (Docker + GitHub Actions CI running headless Gazebo and colcon tests). Also has industry-facing ROS 2 hardware integration experience, building a ros2_control plugin for a Unitree G1 arm using CycloneDDS and optimizing real-time behavior via QoS tuning.”

“Frontend engineer experienced delivering React + TypeScript dashboards end-to-end, including real-time updates via WebSockets and scalable component architecture. Has improved inherited codebases by building shared component libraries and performance optimizations (lazy loading/memoization), reporting ~20% faster feature delivery, and ships major features with QA rigor and feature-flagged rollouts driven by analytics and user feedback.”

“Built and owned an enterprise AI document-processing deployment at an automotive tech startup, taking it from discovery to stabilization. Strong in production LLM/RAG systems and backend reliability, with measurable impact including 8,000+ documents processed monthly and turnaround time reduced from nearly 24 hours to about 3 hours.”

Senior Backend Software Engineer specializing in payments and integrations

Atlanta, GA10y exp

“Engineer with a strong mix of telephony, backend API, database reporting, and full-stack web experience across B2B SaaS and healthcare payments. Particularly notable for reverse-engineering loosely documented FreeSWITCH/Event Socket Layer behavior to build an emergency response conferencing system, and for handling messy production data and evolving customer requirements with care.”

“Senior Unity developer who built a v2 narrative fiction engine end-to-end, including a portable TypeScript/JavaScript inkjs processing core and a Unity UI package that creators found significantly easier to use than the prior version. Has shipped cross-platform VR (Meta Quest) and mobile titles, implemented Unity Netcode multiplayer with host-authoritative flow, and integrated LLM-driven gameplay with automated agent-based testing and regression coverage.”

“Backend Python engineer who built core services for a telecom automation engine monitoring thousands of routers in real time and auto-generating support tickets. As the sole Intelygenz engineer on the project, they diagnosed a costly Terraform/GitLab CI/CD resource-leak issue in AWS and implemented a cleanup redesign that eliminated orphaned resources and reduced client cloud spend. Also shipped applied-AI ticket triage suggestions via API integration and built an end-to-end Gmail-to-ticket ingestion workflow.”

“Full-stack + ML engineer who built “Finsight,” a real-time financial risk platform (React/FastAPI/MongoDB/AWS Lambda) processing 2M+ records monthly, using sharding and Redis caching (60% DB load reduction) plus async and batch optimizations. Also has healthcare product experience at Apollo Healthcare, partnering directly with clinicians/admins to design and iterate EHR dashboards via Figma prototyping and user testing, and demonstrates clear system design thinking for real-time voice-to-LLM architectures.”

“Full-stack engineer from Vagaro who owned an end-to-end rebuild of a sluggish WordPress sales site into a Next.js 15 app hosted on Azure, adding Hygraph headless CMS, SSR, i18n, and a reusable component library. Instrumented Amplitude + A/B testing/heatmaps and reports a 10% sales lift post-launch; also has AWS ops experience (S3/IAM/CloudWatch) and has built ingestion pipelines including LLM-powered unstructured data processing with dead-letter handling.”

“DevOps/GCP-focused engineer with experience helping move complex/LLM-style prototypes toward production by clarifying requirements, hardening architecture, and driving OS-level test remediation to full pass rates. Debugs LLM/agentic workflow issues like distributed systems using GCP observability (Cloud Logging/Monitoring, GKE metrics) and implements alerting policies for proactive communication. Has delivered internal DevOps training from basics through end-to-end GCP infrastructure and deployment, improving engagement with real-world examples and analogies.”

“Backend engineer with experience in fraud reporting and billing systems, building Java/Spring Boot services behind a React frontend and improving performance 40%+ with caching and SQL optimization while maintaining 99.9% uptime. Has hands-on experience migrating a monolith to microservices with incremental rollout, clear data ownership boundaries, and production-grade API reliability/security practices (JWT/OAuth, RBAC, row-level scoping).”

“Backend engineer who built and evolved the real-time networking/messaging backend for a cross-platform professional networking app (Make Connexions), optimizing for low-latency delivery, privacy, and strong consistency. Experienced scaling Python/FastAPI APIs with async + Redis, and leading safe refactors via versioned endpoints, feature flags, and backward-compatible migrations; strong production auth/RLS expertise including refresh-token rotation edge cases.”

“Backend/data engineer who reports building production Python services (FastAPI + JWT) backed by Postgres and Redis, and modernizing data workflows using AWS Glue + PySpark with S3/RDS. States experience delivering AWS solutions (S3, SES, Cognito) and using golden datasets/snapshot testing for migration parity, with many details withheld due to NDAs. Seeking fully remote work with a $300k base salary expectation.”
