Anirudha Deo
Senior Engineering Manager specializing in cloud-native e-commerce and payments platforms
“Senior Engineering Manager with large-scale platform/API ownership at eBay, leading a globally distributed team and redesigning Order public APIs used by external developer ecosystems at ~800M requests/day, delivering 84% performance gains and reducing compute by ~300 VMs. Also led Google CRES ETL migration work on GCP, creating reusable Python libraries to standardize configuration across 10 integrations and improve developer productivity.”
Bocheng Wan
Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in consumer robotics and machine learning
“Developer with a structured AI-assisted coding workflow centered on algorithmic rigor, type-safe scaffolding, and spec-driven modular design. Used Claude Code to help build an Android SDK for IPC, quickly ramping up on AIDL and compressing delivery including unit tests from several weeks to two weeks.”
Christopher Chu
Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems and cloud microservices
“Backend/data engineer with experience at Nike building high-volume order orchestration and validation APIs using FastAPI microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka, Redis, and Postgres. Strong in production reliability (timeouts/retries/idempotency), GitOps (Argo CD) + Terraform deployments, and data pipelines (AWS Glue/S3), with hands-on incident ownership and legacy modernization into API-driven services.”
Pranshu Patel
Director-level Software Development Manager specializing in cloud DDoS protection
“AWS Software Development Manager leading globally deployed, production-critical DDoS protection (L3/L4) across AWS. Known for scaling teams and driving cross-org tiger-team initiatives from concept through worldwide rollout, including performance-focused Python architecture changes and a major JDK 8→21 migration while maintaining strict backward compatibility. Also led an internal SDK-like integration framework improving APIs, documentation, and onboarding for major AWS service teams.”
Chinedu Enwere
Mid Software Engineer specializing in distributed backend systems
“Engineering candidate deeply embedded in AI-native development, currently using tools like Cursor and Claude Code to generate most of their code and building internal agents for on-call monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated incident mitigation. Particularly interesting for teams exploring AI-first engineering workflows, multi-agent development setups, and operational automation at scale.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure
“Built and operated a production warehouse metadata collection platform at Sigma Computing, integrating Go/gRPC services with a TypeScript backend and MySQL, with strong emphasis on idempotency, retries, bounded-concurrency job queues, and Datadog-based observability. Also created Kurral (kurral.com), an AI agent runtime security and observability/governance SDK/proxy concept, iterating via pilot-customer feedback and market research; targeting founding engineer roles with $180–200k base and ~2–5% equity.”
Manaswini Gogineni
Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and full-stack web development
“Backend engineer at Electric Hydrogen who built a serverless device-log ingestion and processing platform in Python/Flask, scaling throughput (4x peak ingestion) while keeping sub-300ms API latency. Strong in Postgres/SQLAlchemy performance (partitioning, materialized views) and production ML integration (ONNX model served via FastAPI microservice with async batch inference, Redis feature caching, and drift monitoring via S3/Lambda). Experienced designing secure multi-tenant systems with schema-per-tenant isolation and KMS-backed encryption.”
David Besemer
Executive Technology Leader (CTO/VP Engineering) specializing in enterprise AI and data platforms
“Freelance CTO with a track record of founding and building early web products, including an award-winning baby website creation platform that was acquired by eStyle after gaining traction via retail/mail-order distribution and PR. Also built a sports event text-alert product, engineering around missing data APIs via a replaceable scraping layer.”
Bhavani Shekhawat
Engineering Manager specializing in AI/ML platforms and 0→1 product delivery
“Player-coach engineer/lead on a high-scale research integrity platform ("Lighthouse") that flags fraud/manipulation signals across ~3M academic manuscripts per year. Owns architecture decisions (ADRs), implements across Go/Java/React services, and introduced NLP (SciBERT embeddings + human-in-the-loop) to assess out-of-context citations while also handling production incidents with a data-consistency-first approach.”
