Senior Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and cloud-native platforms

New York, USA5y exp

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with experience at Walmart, Qualtrics, and American Express, shipping secure partner-facing API platforms and internal monitoring dashboards. Strong in AWS production operations (ECS/Fargate, RDS/Postgres, CloudWatch) plus rigorous testing/security practices, with measurable delivery and performance improvements (35% faster releases; ~30–40% latency reductions).”

Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in cloud lakehouse/warehouse pipelines

4y exp

“Data engineer with HCA Healthcare experience building and operating end-to-end AWS-based pipelines for clinical and operational reporting (50–100 GB/day), serving curated data into Redshift/Snowflake for Power BI/Tableau. Emphasizes production reliability (Airflow SLAs/retries/alerting, logging/observability) and strong data quality controls (reconciliations, schema/null/duplicate checks), and has shipped versioned REST APIs to expose warehouse data to downstream systems.”

“Platform/infra engineer with deep Kubernetes (EKS) and VMware vSphere experience who has led a monolith-to-microservices transition for a credit lending decision platform. Built GitOps-driven Terraform delivery with strong governance, and used LaunchDarkly-based progressive rollouts plus Datadog observability to safely ship multiple times per day (reported ~6x throughput and 1/3 the bugfix tickets vs legacy). Also operates hybrid on-prem/AWS networking (firewall + Transit Gateway, BGP) and has handled high-stakes datacenter migrations (100TB Storage vMotion) under Sev1 conditions.”

“Software developer with hands-on experience refactoring a legacy .NET CMS into a newer API-driven application (ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript/HTML), including dynamic asset migration and resolving team merge conflicts in Bitbucket. Built automated tests with PyTest and used Postman for API validation, and leveraged Splunk for production issue detection; also worked on an end-to-end ticketing/workflow management project with prioritization and verification steps.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML and full-stack systems

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Data Scientist (2–3 years) at ZS Associates who has built and productionized agentic LLM systems, including a LangGraph-based multi-LLM prompt-optimization pipeline for entity extraction deployed as a Spring Boot microservice via Jenkins. Also built an Insightmate.ai chatbot and improved its RAG accuracy by diagnosing vector retrieval issues and implementing HyDE query expansion, while partnering with sales and pharma stakeholders to drive adoption (e.g., Zimmer Biomet platform migration into a multi-year partnership).”

“Built from scratch a social media analytics MVP featuring an LLM-powered semantic search agent that became a core part of the product experience within a 6-week deadline. Stands out for focusing on production readiness early—retrieval-first design, explicit tool constraints, structured outputs, idempotent services, and practical eval/monitoring loops rather than demo-only AI.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience spanning React/TypeScript frontend architecture, .NET/Entity Framework backend services, and database optimization. Has owned end-to-end features like payment processing flows and also helped ship a 0→1 AI developer productivity capability, showing a mix of product sense, startup speed, and practical performance engineering.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned production retail and order/inventory systems end-to-end, using Spring Boot microservices with Kafka event-driven workflows. Strong in production correctness patterns (idempotency, retries/DLQs, schema versioning) plus observability (Prometheus/Grafana) and developer-facing API design (Swagger, OAuth2/JWT, versioning/deprecation). Also built TypeScript/React SPAs and cited ~40% UI performance improvement.”

Muhammad Ali

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud-native FinTech and AI systems

Virginia, USA9y exp

“DevOps-focused engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience in early-stage startup environments, working on small teams to modernize CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments. They report reducing release times from hours to minutes, improving reliability and production recovery, and building backend APIs and automation for an internal SaaS platform shaped by security, scale, and compliance requirements.”

“Infrastructure/Platform engineer with deep production ownership of large IBM Power/AIX estates (70 LPARs, dual VIOS, HMC across two data centers), including live DLPAR tuning and PowerHA clustering for Oracle/WebSphere. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience—built GitHub Actions pipelines deploying to Kubernetes with OIDC/Vault secrets and implemented Terraform to provision AWS EKS/VPC/IAM/ALB/RDS with drift detection and controlled rollouts.”

“Startup-focused technical leader with 20+ years in the ecosystem, including hands-on involvement in raising $3M at Jackpot Rising. Brings a rare mix of CTO-level technical execution, investor-facing fundraising support, patent filing experience, and deep familiarity with accelerators and venture capital.”
