Vetted API Design Professionals

“Full-stack product engineer who has owned end-to-end delivery of multi-client platforms: Finy (agriculture platform with 3 role-based web dashboards plus 2 field mobile apps) and Ugoku (Japanese studio platform with React/TypeScript dashboards, Node/Mongo backend, and mobile AR video playback). Strong in scalable architecture and performance—offline-first mobile for low connectivity, and AWS-based asynchronous video/AR processing with S3/CloudFront—plus building internal ops tools adopted quickly due to measurable workflow improvements.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of Python/Flask microservices and recommendation systems across edtech and telecom. Deployed and operated real-time personalization/recommendation platforms on AWS EKS with Jenkins-based CI/CD, GitOps-style declarative configs, and strong observability practices. Has migration experience moving legacy mixed environments to modern containerized Kubernetes and built Kafka pipelines feeding ML services while managing schema evolution.”

“Backend/event-driven systems engineer who built an end-to-end “software robot” for AI-driven invoice processing: FastAPI ingestion + OCR integration + classification mapping, with strong emphasis on reliability (idempotency, retries) and scalability (background workers, event-driven architecture). Experienced in production-grade distributed systems tooling (Kafka, Docker/Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) and real-time debugging via tracing/telemetry, and expects $10k–$12k/month.”

“Graduate robotics researcher (Georgia Tech/Georgia Tech Research Institute) who helped modernize the Georgia Tech Robotarium by migrating its comms stack from MQTT to ROS2 across MATLAB/Python and updating embedded Teensy firmware for new sensors. Currently validating ToF distance sensors and integrating IMUs, with planned GTSAM factor-graph SLAM sensor fusion; also debugged and improved a decentralized coverage-control algorithm at swarm scale (1000–2000 agents) using computational geometry and literature-backed methods.”

“Backend/AI engineer at Intuit who built a production AI-powered case assistant for support agents (FastAPI on AWS EKS) combining Postgres case data, OpenSearch retrieval with embedding reranking, and internal LLMs. Improved peak-season reliability by diagnosing P95/P99 timeout spikes and cutting P95 latency from ~800ms to <400ms via composite indexing, keyset pagination, connection pool tuning, and caching, while adding grounded-generation guardrails (evidence packs, confidence thresholds, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop).”

“Built and operationalized intelligent pricing infrastructure for live event ticketing at StubHub, emphasizing iterative prototyping with traders and production-grade monitoring (Splunk, API/data-stream thresholding). Also partnered with customer-facing teams to drive adoption and helped win a significant consignment revenue-share deal by demoing the system to the Philadelphia 76ers and quantifying pricing efficacy and business impact.”
