Vetted Founding Engineers in the NYC Metro

“Founding engineer for an AI product (“world’s first funny AI”) who designed and implemented the full-stack architecture (React/TypeScript + Node) and migrated production from Vercel to AWS. Shipped a Lambda-based image pipeline that eliminated lag/missing images and brought page load times to under a second, and has hands-on experience integrating multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok) with structured-output and self-check reliability techniques.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-driven document verification workflow for a construction firm’s submittals process, moving from a Vercel/Next.js prototype to a FastAPI + LangChain/LangGraph backend with background workers and multi-server deployment. Uses LLM tools (e.g., OpenAI Codex/Cloud Code) for rapid development and log-driven root cause analysis, and partners with customer teams on evaluation metrics and iterative improvements.”

“Built and shipped an AI-powered driver ranking/assignment system at AffirmoAI using LLM intent classification + RAG over pgvector/Postgres, served via FastAPI with a React UI that explains scores. Drove measurable improvements through optimization and iteration (latency down to <800ms, adoption 60%→90%+) and implemented rigorous eval loops with dispatcher ground truth plus cold-start handling for new drivers.”

“Frontend-focused engineer who built the entire UI architecture for a GenAI product as the sole founding engineer, shipping a unified experience across iOS, Android, and web. Stands out for combining cross-platform Flutter expertise with browser-level performance tuning, accessibility, and design-system thinking, including measurable wins like 45% faster load times, 94% accessibility, and dramatically faster engineer onboarding.”
