“Built and deployed a production RAG-based multilingual analytics assistant for healthcare operations, enabling non-technical teams to query claims/EHR and risk metrics with grounded explanations. Demonstrates strong end-to-end LLM system engineering (retrieval tuning, re-ranking, hallucination controls, verification layers) plus workflow orchestration (Airflow/Composer/Step Functions) and stakeholder-driven iteration via prototypes and dashboards.”

“Backend engineer focused on scalable, secure, observable systems—built an async workflow backend with REST APIs and state persistence that improved reliability under concurrent load and cut end-to-end processing time ~40%. Strong in production security for multi-tenant systems (OAuth2/JWT, RBAC, DB row-level security) and in low-risk migrations using feature flags and canary releases, including catching and preventing cross-tenant data access issues with CI-based RLS tests.”

“Software engineer with experience across edtech, live gaming, and an AI document intelligence platform, delivering end-to-end customer-facing features and production backends. Built secure, automated live-session scheduling integrating Zoom and TalentLMS (JWT/RBAC, idempotency, transactions) cutting setup time from ~3 minutes to under 1 minute, and optimized real-time gaming dashboards/APIs with query tuning, caching, and CDN improvements (~60% latency reduction under peak load) on AWS.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer in fintech/payments who shipped an end-to-end Stripe payments + webhook system for a financial microservices platform, emphasizing ledger accuracy via idempotency, transactional writes, retries, and DLQs. Also delivered a real-time React/TypeScript payment status dashboard informed by user interviews, and improved production performance by 35% p95 latency through PostgreSQL tuning and Redis caching on AWS.”

“Software engineering intern with hands-on ownership of a Java/Spring Boot order management microservice, including production performance tuning via Redis caching and database indexing driven by API logs/metrics. Also contributed to a production mobile-backend LLM feature using RAG with embeddings over structured data and documents (DB + object storage), with guardrails to keep responses grounded.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production AWS systems: builds multi-tenant FastAPI services on ECS behind API Gateway/ALB with serverless orchestration (Lambda, SQS, Step Functions) and strong reliability practices (JWT/JWKS auth, idempotency, backoff retries, structured logging). Also delivers AWS Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines with schema/data-quality controls and has modernized legacy analytics logic into Python with parity validation; improved a key dashboard SQL query from ~12–25s to ~2–3s.”

Also delivered AWS IaC/CI-CD (Terraform/Helm/GitHub Actions) across EKS/Lambda/SageMaker and built Glue/Spark ETL with schema evolution and data quality controls, plus demonstrated large SQL performance wins (15 min to <9 sec) and hands-on incident ownership.”

“Founder building a hiring-focused startup who has engaged with venture investors but is prioritizing direct end-user traction through email marketing and other outreach before returning to raise a seed round.
