Vetted Full Stack Developers in the Los Angeles Metro

“Backend/platform engineer with experience at Microsoft, Uber, and Gusto building production AI-agent automation systems in Python (AutoGen) and cloud-native microservices on Kubernetes across AWS/Azure. Has delivered zero-downtime migrations and high-throughput real-time streaming pipelines (Kafka/WebSockets/Redis), and is strong in GitOps/ArgoCD-driven CI/CD with reliable rollouts and rapid rollback.”

“Software engineer focused on reliability and scalable systems: built React/TypeScript dashboards backed by Java/Spring Boot APIs and designed Kafka-based microservices with strong contract/versioning discipline. Known for shipping incremental improvements with tight feedback loops and for creating internal observability tools that streamline on-call and incident diagnosis under high-traffic conditions.”

“Software engineer with experience across enterprise (AIG, MSCI) and an early-stage startup (Job Map), owning production systems end-to-end. Built secure insurance microservices on Spring Boot with JWT/RBAC and AWS-based CI/CD/observability, plus Kafka streaming pipelines for financial data. Also shipped a GenAI personalization MVP using FastAPI and LLM APIs in a high-ambiguity startup environment.”

“Backend/AI workflow engineer with experience at AirKitchenz, Uber, and Vivma Software, building production systems on AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, Step Functions). Has a track record of major performance wins (DynamoDB latency 2s to <150ms; Postgres query 2s to ~180ms) and shipping LLM-powered onboarding and ticket-routing workflows with strong guardrails (schema validation, confidence thresholds, human-in-the-loop escalation).”

“Backend engineer who built an async FastAPI data pipeline at GHN Career Academy to replace a manual Excel-based workflow, migrating 30k+ contact records into Airtable with validation/deduplication and best-effort GPT-based enrichment. Emphasizes reliability under messy real-world data and partial failures via structured logging, retries, and resumable processing, unlocking downstream automations (e.g., Zapier and chatbots).”

“Backend engineer who built the core backend for Air Kitchens’ discovery/booking platform on AWS (Node + Python, DynamoDB, SQS/Lambda), optimizing for fast user-facing APIs and scalable async workflows. Introduced an AI matching service with a deterministic pre-filter + LLM ranking approach to balance latency vs quality, and has hands-on experience with production security (JWT/RBAC/RLS), CI/CD, and blue-green, staged migrations from Django to modular services.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production-grade Python microservices and AWS platforms, including a hybrid Lambda + ECS Fargate architecture managed with Terraform and CI/CD. Has hands-on reliability experience (JWT/OAuth, timeouts, retries, centralized error classification) and built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines consolidating PostgreSQL/RDS, MongoDB, and S3 sources into curated partitioned Parquet datasets. Demonstrated measurable SQL tuning impact (8 minutes to 25 seconds) and disciplined legacy-to-modern migrations with parity validation and UAT sign-off.”

“Software engineer with hands-on AWS experience optimizing an email campaign delivery system—re-architected a monolithic worker into multi-threaded/multi-worker ECS components to boost throughput ~600% (5 to 35 emails/sec). Comfortable debugging production issues (e.g., SQS/EventBridge policy misconfiguration) and emphasizes maintainable delivery via design docs, TDD, versioned APIs, and strong test coverage.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and shipped an AI-powered internal knowledge search system for APL Services, including document ingestion into a vector database, a Python backend, and a React/TypeScript chat-style UI with source citations for trust. Improved production reliability by migrating from Streamlit Cloud to GCP with containerization and scaling controls to eliminate cold-start friction; also co-led a Mensa chapter website redesign as Digital Communications Committee co-chair.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and iterated a CRM dashboard at ReplyQuick by sitting with end users, prioritizing blockers, and shipping frequent updates—improving usability and performance enough to replace a spreadsheet workflow within ~2 months. Demonstrates strong security fundamentals (OAuth2/JWT + RBAC) and practical microservices experience (decoupling a CRM API from a PDF-processing service via async processing and status tracking).”

“Backend engineer who has designed and evolved high-traffic event/activity management systems using Node/Express and PostgreSQL, prioritizing scalability and reliability with a layered architecture. Has led zero-downtime refactors/migrations using parallel runs, dual writes, and rigorous validation/monitoring, and brings a security-focused API approach (JWT, RBAC/ABAC, rate limiting, DB-enforced tenant/RLS filters).”

“Software engineer turned solutions/technical support engineer with 5+ years of experience supporting and migrating a custom CRM used by U.S. House of Representatives offices. Has hands-on ownership of database export/import scripting, API key-based integrations, and production troubleshooting, and also consults government customers on procurement/CLM workflows while partnering with sales/marketing on demos and adoption use cases.”
