Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in geospatial AI and cloud security automation

San Ramon, CA5y exp

“Cloud engineer and cloud OS SME (Chevron) who productionized large-scale security remediation—using Tanium and Ansible to address CIS benchmark noncompliance across 5,000+ servers with robust logging and RCA handoffs. Also drives adoption of a geospatial AI refinery inspection product by consolidating siloed imagery into an enterprise geospatial database, and presents internally on agentic/LLM tooling (LangChain/LangGraph, LangSmith observability).”

“Built and operates a production LLM agent for enterprise IT operations that triages and drafts resolutions for high-volume ServiceNow tickets using LangChain + RAG (Pinecone/pgvector) and AWS Bedrock/OpenAI. Emphasizes reliability with schema-validated stages, offline eval datasets from real tickets, and CloudWatch-driven monitoring/guardrails; system scales to 40K+ tickets/month and cut resolution time ~28%.”

“Robotics/remote-sensing software engineer who built and validated multisensor image-processing and spectral chemical-detection pipelines (RX anomaly detection, ACE), including calibration protocols with a motorized shutter and rigorous data QC. Uses white-box NumPy simulators to debug SLAM/registration issues before translating logic to C++, and partnered with hardware teams to solve temperature-driven signal variation via combined software calibration and improved thermal management.”

Mid-level Cybersecurity Analyst specializing in SIEM, incident response, and Zero Trust

Remote, USA3y exp

“Cybersecurity/SOC-focused engineer with hands-on production experience integrating and tuning Splunk Enterprise Security for a zero-trust program, including CIM normalization, correlation/risk-based detection tuning, and performance optimization via forwarder-level filtering and index strategy. Has cross-disciplinary incident troubleshooting experience spanning SIEM, networking, and hardware, and has automated customer/team-specific security workflows using Python in Splunk playbooks; collaborated on-site with HSBC IT/SOC teams to deliver dashboards and security policies.”

Mid-Level Software Development Engineer specializing in distributed systems and event-driven architectures

Santa Clara, California4y exp

“Built and maintained an internal JavaScript/React real-time event monitoring UI used by multiple Goldman Sachs teams (e.g., Private Wealth Management and Bulk Trading Systems). Focused on scaling performance under hundreds of events/sec—using profiling, memoization, batching, and debouncing—and paired it with strong internal documentation and disciplined incident diagnosis via synthetic load testing and logs/metrics.”

“Backend engineer who replaced an Excel-heavy forecasting workflow with a secure, auditable FastAPI system (React UI + relational model + async workers), emphasizing deterministic processing, idempotency, and versioned ledger-style ingestion. Led a monolith-to-FastAPI migration at Bounteous using a strangler approach, feature-flagged incremental rollout, and data reconciliation/shadow-compare to protect integrity while scaling onboarding workflows.”

“AI/ML Engineer (TCS) who built and deployed a production LLM-powered audit transaction validation service to reduce manual review of unstructured transaction records and comments. Implemented a LangChain/Python pipeline for extraction/normalization and discrepancy detection, with strong production reliability practices (decision logging, dashboards, labeled eval sets) and a human-in-the-loop auditor feedback loop to improve precision/recall under strict data-sensitivity and near-real-time constraints.”

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

Santa Clara, CA4y exp

“Built and shipped a production AI-powered Q&A/RAG onboarding assistant at One Community Global that unified knowledge across Notion, Google Docs, and Slack, cutting volunteer onboarding time by 45%. Demonstrates strong end-to-end ownership: LangChain agent orchestration integrated into a FastAPI backend, rigorous evaluation (200-query dataset, ~85% accuracy), and production feedback/monitoring with source-attributed answers to build user trust.”

Executive engineering leader specializing in AI automation and enterprise transformation

Banks, OR23y exp

“Technology leader with deep accelerator and zero-to-one product experience across the Department of Defense, Fortune 100 enterprises, academia, and GovTech. Most notably, they built a seven-tier solution that generated over $10M in first-year savings and was adopted by 300+ DoD organizations, positioning them as a strong CTO-type operator for mission-driven startups and complex enterprises.”

“Backend/ML engineer who has shipped high-scale real-time systems across e-commerce and healthcare: built a PharmEasy real-time recommendation engine for ~2M monthly users (cut feature latency 5 min→30 sec; +15% cross-sell) and architected a HIPAA-compliant multimodal clinical diagnostic workflow (DICOM+EHR) with XAI, MLOps (MLflow/Airflow/K8s), and drift/monitoring guardrails supporting 10k+ daily predictions.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in AI, LLM systems, and full-stack development

Stony Brook, NY2y exp

“Product-focused full-stack engineer at startup (Zippy) who shipped a production multi-agent AI system for restaurant operations plus payments workflows. Built end-to-end: RAG grounded on a Notion knowledge base, structured function-calling task routing, FastAPI/JWT multi-tenant backend, and a polished React+TypeScript owner dashboard. Has real production incident experience (duplicate Stripe webhooks) and reports ~94% task-routing accuracy under load.”

“Built and productionized a tool-first, multi-agent framework that augments an anomaly detection model with domain context to generate trustworthy, evidence-backed anomaly explanations (including false-positive likelihood). Architected the platform to be model/orchestration/vectorDB agnostic (e.g., GPT + CrewAI + ChromaDB vs Claude + LangGraph + other vector DB) with strong performance, reliability, and OpenTelemetry-based observability. Also built a personal LangGraph-based "mock interviewer" agent that asynchronously fuses voice + live code input using state reducers, stop conditions, and fallback routing.”

“Software engineer with strong full-stack and platform experience (TypeScript/React/Node.js) who has built real-time analytics dashboards and microservices using RabbitMQ. Demonstrates production-minded decision-making under launch pressure (manual fallback for payment-impacting third-party API issues) and has delivered internal DevOps tooling that automates compliance checks via GitHub/Jira integrations.”

“ML/NLP engineer who built a RAG-based technical assistant for Caterpillar field engineers, transforming PDF keyword search into intent-based semantic retrieval across manuals, logs, sensor reports, and technician notes. Strong in productionizing data/ML systems (Airflow, PySpark) with rigorous preprocessing, entity resolution, and evaluation—delivering measurable gains in accuracy, relevance, and duplicate reduction.”

“Customer-support/engineering background spanning Informatica PowerCenter ETL and IBM demos/workshops, with hands-on experience hardening data workflows for production (error tables/reject links, validation, restart strategies, alerting, performance tuning). Also demonstrates a clear, systems-level approach to diagnosing LLM/agentic workflow issues (prompt/RAG/tooling/memory) using instrumentation and iterative fixes, and has partnered with sales on POCs by defining success metrics and mapping solutions to customer architectures.”
