Mid-level Product Designer & Design Technologist specializing in design systems and GenAI UX

Remote, USA3y exp

“Enterprise/industrial UX designer focused on making complex, real-time automated systems feel trustworthy and predictable. Has hands-on experience observing operators in logistics/automation environments, building shared interaction models to unify fragmented products, and collaborating tightly with engineers using component-system thinking (HTML/CSS/TypeScript) to ship resilient UIs that handle partial failures.”

“Software engineer building AI-powered automation features in commercial real estate, including brochure generation and property listing workflows. They combine FastAPI/Redis/Celery backend architecture with multi-agent LLM design, structured prompting, testing, and production monitoring, and are now actively learning RAG and vector databases to make outputs more personalized.”

“Backend engineer with production ERP experience deploying microservices and improving performance/reliability using a metrics-driven approach (logs, latency, error rates). Has hands-on cloud/hybrid operations across AWS and Azure with Docker/Kubernetes, and has resolved real-world mobile sync issues by tuning timeouts/retries and reducing payload sizes. Builds configurable Python services to deliver customer-specific behavior without destabilizing the core codebase.”

“Backend Python engineer who owned a real-time manufacturing insights streaming service, building FastAPI async microservices with Kafka-style queue buffering, batching/backpressure, and a low-latency snapshot store. Led a serverless-to-Kubernetes (EKS) migration at UGenomeAi using GitOps-style GitHub Actions pipelines, standardized config/secrets, and improved deployment consistency with pinned dependencies and multi-stage Docker builds.”

“ML/NLP engineer who has built production systems end-to-end: a real-time recommendation platform (100k+ profiles) using BERTopic-style clustering and a RAG-based news summarization/recommendation stack with ChromaDB. Strong focus on scaling and reliability (GPU batching, Redis caching, Kafka ingestion, Docker/Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana) and on maintaining model quality over time via drift monitoring and retraining triggers.”

Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in agentic systems and enterprise LLM platforms

USA, USA4y exp

“Current AI engineer at a startup who has spent the last year architecting multi-agent systems for software development workflows. Stands out for combining LLM speed with engineering discipline—using tools like Pydantic, LangGraph, and LangChain to build reliable, production-ready agent workflows with validation, routing, and retry logic.”

“Built a university campus assistant chatbot (BabyJ/WWJ) using RAG and agentic routing with a FastAPI + React stack and JWT auth, focusing heavily on production concerns like latency and reliability. Uses techniques like speculative prefetching, smart intent routing, and rigorous eval/testing (golden sets, regression, edge cases) while collaborating closely with campus admin/advising teams to iterate based on real user feedback.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in Healthcare Data Platforms

Remote2y exp

“Backend/ML engineer with healthcare domain experience building secure Medicare/Medicaid data APIs and real-time patient risk scoring. Shipped an end-to-end ML pipeline (scikit-learn/XGBoost) served via SageMaker and integrated into Flask APIs, with strong production reliability practices (Kafka schema validation, regression replay, observability, drift monitoring, and human-in-the-loop guardrails).”

“Internship-built full-stack systems spanning HR employee-record portals and internal data-quality dashboards (Flask + SQL + React), emphasizing data integrity and rapid MVP iteration. Also implemented Flask microservices with RabbitMQ for distributed task processing, addressing duplication/ordering issues with idempotency, durable queues, and correlation-ID logging; delivered quantified productivity gains for HR teams.”

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in Web3 and FinTech

Global, Remote6y exp

“Full-stack engineer with deep startup experience (pre-seed through IPO/SPAC) currently building a Next.js/TypeScript SaaS sports analytics platform with a complex Postgres-based entitlement/ACL system. Has delivered measurable UX/business impact (35% retention lift, 40% volume increase) and built production-grade daily ETL + model training/inference workflows with validation and checkpointing for reliability.”

“Full-stack product engineer who has built both a production-grade React/Next.js analytics platform and a Stripe-based subscription system end to end, with measurable business impact including churn reduction, reporting automation, and cost savings. Also stands out for 0-to-1 work in the digital art space, where they built an AI-powered cataloguing and delivery pipeline over 30TB of assets using computer vision, Shopify, and cloud infrastructure.”
