Vetted Amazon S3 Professionals

“ML/LLM engineer with production experience building a multi-GPU LLM inference platform using TensorRT and vLLM, achieving ~40% p95 latency reduction through batching/KV caching, quantization, and CUDA/runtime tuning. Also has end-to-end orchestration experience (Kubernetes, Airflow) and has delivered real-time fraud detection systems at Accenture in close collaboration with non-technical risk and product stakeholders.”

“Bootstrapped-startup CTO and former founding engineer who has built products end-to-end as a solo developer across web and games. Led Grublify’s Next.js/TypeScript site (Strapi + Shopify), including a blog that reached ~5k monthly visitors and performance work like progressive loading/infinite scroll. Also implemented a resilient USDA nutrition ingestion pipeline with retries, partial-failure handling, and computed nutrient metrics.”

Mid-Level Software Development Engineer specializing in AWS data pipelines and forecasting systems

3y exp

“Built and deployed (via an Upwork contract) an LLM-powered agent for options trading that detects large options trade events, enriches them with market/filing data (price history, earnings transcripts, insider trading), and delivers recommendations via Telegram. Implemented schema-constrained outputs (Pydantic/Google GenAI), robust orchestration, logging, and error-notification handling, plus vector-DB-based reuse of prior outputs to improve consistency.”

Mid-Level Software Development Engineer specializing in AWS streaming media platforms

Portland, OR3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on Next.js App Router + TypeScript experience (built a RateMyProfessor-style platform end-to-end using RSC, dynamic routing, debounced search, and cache invalidation). Also has AWS backend depth—built a Step Functions-based wave rollout/feature access control framework for MediaPackage V2 with idempotency, retries, rollback, and ongoing correctness reconciliation.”

“Backend engineer with end-to-end ownership of scientific and AI-powered systems, including neuron imaging pipelines at Monell Chemical Senses Center and an LLM-based structured information extraction platform for Wharton and PSG. Stands out for turning messy, compute-heavy workflows into reliable production backends with measurable impact, including saving researchers over 50 hours per week.”

Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in multi-cloud analytics platforms

Waltham, MA6y exp

“Data engineer with hands-on GCP platform experience spanning BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Dataflow, and Cloud Composer, including both production operations and cloud migration work. They led a migration from legacy SQL Server/Oracle systems to a cloud-native BigQuery architecture and cite measurable impact: processing reduced from hours to minutes, query latency improved 60%+, and ingestion time improved 40%.”

“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.”

“Senior software engineer candidate who uses AI and multi-agent workflows thoughtfully to speed up development while preserving engineering rigor for production-critical decisions. Stands out for a clear risk-based framework: leveraging agents for boilerplate, refactoring, testing, and debugging, while relying on fundamentals, metrics, and human review for system design and scalability.”

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in FinTech and generative AI

Remote, USA2y exp

“Built an end-to-end AI bug triage dashboard that combined React/TypeScript, FastAPI, Postgres, and classical ML to reduce manual engineering triage work by about 40%. Stands out for pragmatic, product-minded AI engineering: choosing interpretable models when they were sufficient, designing human-in-the-loop UX for trust, and separately building an agentic RAG project with vector search, Neo4j knowledge graphs, and reranking.”

“Software engineer with experience spanning early-stage startup architecture and large-scale Amazon product development. They’ve driven search and data-platform decisions in a 20-person startup, built full-stack React/Python tools that automate internal workflows, and shipped marketplace expansion and personalization features impacting 200k sellers and millions of end users.”

“Built and owned an LLM support copilot at Stripe focused on improving agent ticket resolution. Designed the backend and ML system end to end, using RAG, Redis caching, hybrid vector search, and LoRA fine-tuning to achieve 40% lower latency and 22% higher response accuracy, with continuous quality monitoring via Ragas and related evaluation frameworks.”
