Bloomington, IN3y exp

“Application-focused software engineer with experience at Amazon and Motorola shipping production systems ranging from developer monitoring/on-call tooling (Alcazar, ~40% MTTR improvement) to consumer AI features used by 100K+ users. Currently building an AI/ML-driven platform with a Python/FastAPI backend on AWS (ECS/RDS/S3) and has handled real production latency/scaling incidents end-to-end.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on compliance and statistical processing systems on AWS, building containerized FastAPI services plus event-driven async workflows (Step Functions/EventBridge) with strong reliability patterns (JWT auth, idempotency, structured logging). Has modernized SAS-based batch pipelines into modular Python/AWS services with parallel-run parity validation, and has demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (40+ min to <10 min) and hands-on incident ownership using CloudWatch-driven detection and prevention.”

“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.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered multi-agent system that autonomously generates and publishes YouTube videos end-to-end (trend discovery, script writing, image/caption generation, timestamped video assembly). Emphasizes production readiness with extensive automated testing, Redis/Postgres/TimescaleDB state orchestration, and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, reporting ~100x faster content production and improved engagement/viewership.”
