Senior Backend Engineer specializing in GenAI, LLMs, and scalable data pipelines

Chicago, IL12y exp

“Backend/ML platform engineer from Snapsheet who owned production Python services and data pipelines for insurance claims, including an AI document classification/summarization FastAPI service on ECS/Fargate processing 1M+ documents/year. Strong in AWS infrastructure (Terraform, CI/CD, secrets/IAM, autoscaling), Glue/PySpark ETL with schema evolution controls, and legacy SAS-to-microservices modernization with safe, feature-flagged rollouts and measurable performance wins.”

“Backend/data engineer with experience at Nike building high-volume order orchestration and validation APIs using FastAPI microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka, Redis, and Postgres. Strong in production reliability (timeouts/retries/idempotency), GitOps (Argo CD) + Terraform deployments, and data pipelines (AWS Glue/S3), with hands-on incident ownership and legacy modernization into API-driven services.”

Mid Software Engineer specializing in distributed backend systems

Redmond, WA4y exp

“Engineering candidate deeply embedded in AI-native development, currently using tools like Cursor and Claude Code to generate most of their code and building internal agents for on-call monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated incident mitigation. Particularly interesting for teams exploring AI-first engineering workflows, multi-agent development setups, and operational automation at scale.”

“Engineering/data platform leader from FLYR (airline ML forecasting and automated pricing) who built scalable ingestion/ETL and a canonical data model to onboard airlines with highly heterogeneous source systems. Created a golden-metrics layer for airline KPIs and implemented monitoring/backfill capabilities, cutting onboarding time by 50%+ while improving SLA performance and controlling cloud/ML training costs through stronger data quality gates.”

“Hands-on engineering manager on a large web product who built an AI-driven navigation search and led a major post-acquisition unification effort across 3 companies and 5–7 teams, including front-end architecture for 60+ developers. Also owns a high-scale BFF (800 endpoints) and drove a deep reliability fix involving Kubernetes/Envoy/Redis session bloat, adding monitoring and preventative controls.”
