Vetted Java Developers

“Software engineer with practical, day-to-day experience embedding AI into development workflows across coding, testing, code review, and AWS data pipelines. Uses tools like Claude, Cline, JUnit, Mockito, and Amazon Bedrock, and stands out for having a realistic, mature view of agent limitations, hallucinations, and the need for strong prompting and human validation.”

“Backend engineer with experience at JPMorgan Chase and Walgreens, owning transaction-processing and prescription data flow systems in regulated environments. Brings strong hands-on depth in Spring Boot microservices, Kafka, Redis, Kubernetes, observability, and production incident resolution, plus practical experience integrating OpenAI-powered workflows with validation and fallback safeguards.”

“Backend/platform engineer with deep payments experience who built and operated a real-time transaction routing service end-to-end on AWS (Spring Boot, PostgreSQL/RDS, Redis, Kubernetes), delivering ~40% latency reduction and 99.99% uptime via strong resiliency and observability practices. Also productionized an internal LLM-powered RAG knowledge assistant with guardrails and a user-feedback-driven evaluation loop, and has led incremental monolith-to-microservices modernization using Strangler Fig and shadow traffic.”

“Backend engineer focused on cloud/distributed systems, deploying Java 17/Spring Boot microservices on AWS EKS with RDS and Kafka. Demonstrated strong production readiness work (DB lock mitigation, Kafka idempotency, gradual rollouts) and delivered a major latency improvement (~400ms to ~100ms). Also has proven cross-layer troubleshooting skills, isolating intermittent API timeouts to a specific Kubernetes node’s network interface issue, and partners closely with ops teams to build dashboards and workflow automation (including Python scripts).”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience at AWS building a global alarm processing platform (Python, Lambda/SQS/DynamoDB) handling traffic spikes and reliability issues; resolved duplicate alerts and latency under load by fixing hot partitions and enforcing idempotency. Previously at Cognizant, built Java/PostgreSQL backend workflows for healthcare dashboards using pre-aggregated summary tables, strong SQL optimization, and state-driven job orchestration with ELK-based observability and production guardrails.”

“Full stack engineer in the financial/thematic investing domain who built end-to-end applications on AWS. Notably redesigned a slow portfolio analytics workflow by offloading heavy computations to scheduled AWS Lambda jobs and caching results in DynamoDB (TTL), cutting API latency from ~5 seconds to under 300ms while supporting data-heavy daily market processing.”

“Java full-stack developer who has owned data-intensive, customer-facing and internal web products end-to-end (React/Angular + Spring Boot), including CI/CD and production support. Demonstrates deep microservices experience with RabbitMQ/event-driven architecture, idempotency, DLQs, and compensating logic to maintain reliability and data consistency at scale, plus a track record of replacing spreadsheet-based ops reporting with an adopted real-time internal tool.”

“Full-stack developer who built a learning management web app end-to-end using React, Spring Boot, and MySQL, integrating APIs via Axios and validating/testing with Postman. Has experience handling data-heavy workloads (courses, quiz results) and improving performance with pagination, and is comfortable designing microservice-style endpoints with CI/CD considerations.”
