Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in event technology and interactive systems

New York, NY20y exp

“Full-stack product engineer in event tech who has owned AI-powered web products from architecture to live production, including a no-code SaaS/marketplace for event activations and real-time AI kiosk experiences. Particularly strong in building for non-technical users in high-stakes live environments, with hands-on experience across Vue/Laravel, LLM workflows, image generation pipelines, and operational reliability.”

“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.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and GenAI

New York, NY4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with cloud and GenAI experience who has owned production features end-to-end, including a reporting dashboard optimized from 14s to 5s using query/API refactoring and monitored via AWS CloudWatch. Also productionized an OpenAI-powered chatbot using LangChain with prompt design, guardrails, and evaluation via production logs and user feedback, and has led incremental legacy-to-microservices modernization with parallel run to avoid regressions.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and FinTech

New York, NY4y exp

“At Delta Airlines, built and shipped a production LLM-powered semantic search/troubleshooting assistant over maintenance logs and operational documentation using OpenAI embeddings and a vector database. Implemented hybrid ranking, query enrichment, and structured filters to improve relevance ~35% while optimizing latency via caching and vector tuning. Also designed a scalable Kafka + AWS (Lambda/SQS) ingestion pipeline with strong reliability/observability and an eval loop using real engineer queries and human review.”

“Built a demo-live LangGraph/LangSmith LLM agent that translates natural language into SQL against a self-built MLB statistics database, using a vector-store knowledge base of example queries. Focused on predictable orchestration via conditional nodes, YAML-driven behaviors, and tool-gated function calling, with testing via LangSmith and Python scripts.”

Senior Full-Stack Developer specializing in cloud-native FinTech and AI platforms

New York, NY8y exp

“Full-stack engineer with strong production ownership: built and operated a real-time transaction monitoring/fraud-alerting system using Java Spring Boot, Kafka, Docker, and AWS with CI/CD. Demonstrates metrics-driven operations (latency, stability, consumer lag, true/false positives) and reliability patterns for integrations (idempotency, retries/backoff, DLQs, reconciliation/backfills), plus modern React/TypeScript + Node/Postgres architecture experience.”

“Full-stack developer with strong cloud/on-prem focus (AWS, VPC networking) who has improved production reliability by bringing manually created IAM/security group resources under Terraform and standardizing environments. Demonstrated end-to-end troubleshooting across app + infrastructure + networking (traffic capture revealed proxy response truncation) and delivered Python-based monitoring/reporting enhancements that improved ops visibility and turnaround.”
