Vetted API Design Professionals

“Engineering leader who delivered a Magento-to-Shopify rebuild ahead of schedule while maintaining 100% team retention over 4 years at Hydrobuilder Holdings. Also built and ran a concert-listing platform (TourVolume) in production for 12+ years (Webby Honorable Mention) and later open-sourced the full codebase. Deep experience in auth/API platforms on AWS, including moving critical auth services from Lambda to ECS to eliminate cold-start latency.”

“Application-focused software engineer working on AI-heavy products, with hands-on experience building end-to-end document processing, retrieval, and configurable workflow systems. Particularly strong in combining React/TypeScript UX, FastAPI/Postgres backend design, and LLM workflow reliability improvements through validation, prompt iteration, and reusable abstractions.”

“Backend engineer who has both shipped production systems at work and independently launched tab-review.com, a BI dashboard quality/linting platform. They combine pragmatic early-stage execution with strong instincts around scaling, observability, RBAC, and production reliability, and have also built internal AI-assisted reporting workflows using LangChain and human-in-the-loop review.”

“Robotics/embedded platform engineer who led compute provisioning and ROS2 platform development for a smart electrical panel, building a full ROS2 stack that bridges mobile app requests (via AWS IoT/MQTT) to signal-level CAN commands and returns telemetry/logs to the cloud. Demonstrated strong full-stack debugging by resolving flaky CAN traffic down to a custom PCB transceiver standby-pin grounding issue, and improved real-time behavior by refactoring middleware into C++ with timer-scheduled publishes to meet firmware watchdog expectations.”

“Engineering/product leader in early-stage environments who has repeatedly driven major pivots and scaling efforts: pandemic-era refactor at NameCoach and multi-community expansion at Nolodex (now ~20 communities). Comfortable going from executive roadmap/stakeholder alignment to hands-on implementation (e.g., webhooks), and has led architecture shifts (monolith-to-distributed, Heroku-to-AWS) while managing outsourced/offshore teams through organizational friction.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who modernized a legacy jQuery-based product information management platform into a more modular React application and owned analytics dashboard integration across UI, APIs, and data flows. Brings strong experience with enterprise releases, TypeScript modeling for complex API data, and performance optimization for large, data-heavy product and analytics interfaces.”

“Full-stack TypeScript engineer who has owned a real-time workflow/communication platform end-to-end in production (Node/TS + React, Postgres/Redis, Kafka, Docker/CI/CD). Demonstrates strong distributed-systems pragmatism—designing for failure with retries, DLQs, idempotency keys, and atomic writes—plus operational practices like structured logging, monitoring, and zero-downtime deployments.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack web, Go microservices, and AI integrations

Remote, USA5y exp

“Backend/LLM engineer who ships production internal tooling end-to-end: automated data-request processing with monitoring-driven improvements (better error diagnostics and lower latency via query/index tuning). Also built a RAG-based internal Q&A system over company docs and operational logs with guardrails (similarity thresholds, fallbacks, response limits) and an eval loop using real user queries and human review to drive prompt/retrieval changes.”

Los Angeles, CA28y exp

“Hands-on infrastructure and engineering leader (Director of Global Infrastructure / CTO) who has run double-digit multi-million dollar data center expansion and cloud migration programs and scaled teams rapidly (including offshore/nearshore). Strong AWS and microservices background (Lambda/SQS/SES), with experience balancing deep technical architecture work alongside investor/VC communications and fundraising-related responsibilities.”
