Vetted Full Stack Developers in the Los Angeles Metro

“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.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in FinTech and E-commerce

Artesia, CA4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with experience spanning enterprise AI and e-commerce, including building an agentic orchestration platform and owning a RAG system pipeline at JP Morgan Chase. Stands out for combining React/Node backend delivery with LLM security work, RBAC-heavy system design, and practical SQL/query optimization in production.”

“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.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Developer specializing in AWS and scalable web platforms

Santa Monica, CA5y exp

“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).”

“Engineering leader with hands-on architecture depth who has improved team delivery cadence to weekly releases by redesigning SDLC ownership and validation workflows. Currently leading AI/LLM product work around meeting-transcript intelligence for sales use cases, with a strong emphasis on observability, prompt tuning, and iterative UX refinement.”

“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).”

“QA automation-focused candidate with hands-on ownership of unit and integration test suites, including CI/CD integration in GitLab. Caught a database-query regression that would have shipped incomplete API data by relying on automated integration tests, and has practical Cypress experience stabilizing flaky tests using cy.intercept()/cy.wait() and stable selectors.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and web applications

Huntington Beach, CA5y exp

“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.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across Python/Flask microservices and AWS serverless/data platforms (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Glue/PySpark). Demonstrated strong reliability and operations mindset (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts/circuit breakers, CloudWatch/SNS alerting) and measurable performance wins (SQL report runtime cut from 10 minutes to 30 seconds). Seeking ~$150k base and cannot travel for onsite meetings for the next 5–6 months due to family medical constraints.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience shipping multiple AI-powered products, including donor recommendation systems, RAG-based document Q&A, and cybersecurity threat analysis tools. Stands out for combining TypeScript/React and backend API development with practical LLM evaluation, grounding, and production optimization—driving measurable outcomes like 30% higher donor engagement and 87% answer accuracy under 2-second latency.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in React/Node.js and backend APIs

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“Built and deployed a production Incident Tracking System using Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript with Postgres (Neon) and Prisma, including RBAC (User/Support/Admin), tickets/comments, and audit logging. Uses Zod for schema/type validation and relies on Chrome/React DevTools to debug and refine UI/UX and performance.”
