Vetted API Development Professionals

“Hands-on IT/engineering executive who has led high-impact architecture changes and compliance-driven data systems. Notably built an internally developed columnar database at Troparé (with dual-support UI for legacy/new DBs) and shipped an MVP in 3–4 months with dramatic performance improvements, and previously delivered PCI/opt-out compliant deletion workflows while addressing DB performance and migrations.”

“Unity VR senior developer with ~8 years in VR and ~3 years focused on Meta Quest, building multiplayer training/digital-twin style experiences. Strong Photon (PUN/Fusion) background, including solving tricky networked object attachment/jitter issues via ownership and local-physics strategies. Demonstrated hands-on performance turnarounds in VR scenes using Mesh Baker, LODs, and impostors, plus experience shipping social multiplayer VR activities with Photon Voice.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI Python APIs and AWS-native platforms (Lambda/API Gateway, SQS, ECS Fargate) with Terraform + GitHub Actions CI/CD and strong reliability practices (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts, structured errors/logging). Also built AWS Glue ETL pipelines (S3/RDS to curated S3/Athena) with schema evolution and data quality controls, modernized legacy processing via parallel-run validation and phased cutovers, and has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (seconds to <200ms) plus incident ownership for batch pipeline SLAs.”

“Former CTO at Enodo who led development of programmatic parsers to extract unstructured data from real-estate financial documents (rent rolls and T12s), validating with users via prototypes before productionizing. Emphasizes accuracy-driven engineering and scalable test-suite growth based on real user samples, and has experience scoping complex product ideas (e.g., browser-based narrative editor) down to an MVP.”

“Checkout-focused engineer with hands-on experience integrating many dependent microservices and Kafka event flows, including managing SLA/timeout issues with partner teams. Led a PayPal Braintree SDK migration across iOS/Android/web with strong testing discipline, and built an AWS Lambda automation to clean up stale CloudFormation test stacks to reduce monthly AWS spend.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered document Q&A system enabling natural-language querying of large PDFs, focusing on retrieval quality (overlapped chunking) and low-latency performance (optimized embeddings + vector search). Experienced with scaling ML/LLM workflows using async/batch processing, caching, cloud storage, and orchestration via Apache Airflow with robust testing, monitoring, and failure handling.”

“Software engineer with startup and capstone experience who improved an ~8-hour database refresh workflow by moving API calls to asynchronous execution and then addressing API rate limits via throttling. Emphasizes performance profiling/logging, strong developer onboarding documentation practices, and disciplined Agile/Jira bug triage and expectation-setting with stakeholders.”

“Healthcare-focused applied ML/LLM engineer who has deployed production systems including an LLM medical documentation assistant that summarizes unstructured EHR notes into physician-ready structured outputs. Experienced building secure, compliant pipelines (PHI minimization, RBAC, encryption) and scaling via Docker/Kubernetes/Azure ML, plus orchestrating ETL/ML workflows with Airflow and Kubeflow; also built an LLM-driven clinical coding assistant at Centene with measurable performance metrics.”

“Co-founded a healthcare AI startup building and deploying software directly with end users, emphasizing rapid shipping, deep user interviews, and workflow-first adoption. Has hands-on production deployment experience on AWS (including diagnosing a silent AWS App Runner failure caused by an ARM vs amd64 Docker build mismatch) and is motivated by customer-facing, travel-heavy roles to keep engineering tightly connected to real-world usage.”
