Vetted API Gateway Professionals

“Full-stack engineer with healthcare and fintech experience who has owned production features end-to-end—most notably an AI assistant clinical risk summary tool on AWS (FastAPI/Lambda + React/TypeScript) that cut analyst review time ~40%. Strong in performance tuning for large datasets (S3/Athena), production ops/observability (CloudWatch, CI/CD, env separation), and building reliable ETL/integrations with idempotency and retries.”

“Full-stack product engineer with hands-on experience shipping React/TypeScript applications on AWS serverless infrastructure with Postgres. Stands out for combining measurable performance optimization (~30% faster APIs), UX improvements that lifted activation by 25%, and pragmatic platform thinking through reusable hooks and safe multi-tenant dashboard customization.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production Python and AWS: built FastAPI REST services and a containerized ECS Fargate + Lambda architecture deployed via Terraform/CI-CD. Strong in data engineering (Glue/S3/Parquet/RDS) and operational reliability (CloudWatch/SNS, retries, schema-evolution handling), with experience modernizing legacy SAS reporting into Python microservices using feature flags and parity validation.”

“Full-stack/AI engineer who has shipped production systems spanning real-time analytics dashboards and an internal LLM-powered knowledge assistant. Experienced with RAG pipelines (embeddings/vector DB, semantic retrieval, query rewriting) plus evaluation loops and guardrails, and builds observable Kafka-based data pipelines monitored with Prometheus/Grafana.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG clinical document understanding and summarization system for healthcare, focused on reducing manual review time while meeting strict accuracy, latency, and compliance needs. Demonstrates strong MLOps/orchestration depth (Airflow, Kubernetes, Azure ML Pipelines) and a rigorous approach to hallucination mitigation through layered, source-grounded safeguards and stakeholder-driven requirements with physicians/compliance teams.”

“Software engineer and University of Chicago graduate teaching assistant who built a full-stack internal analytics dashboard (React/TypeScript + Node/Express) and worked in RabbitMQ-based microservices with Prometheus/Grafana observability. Also created an AI-powered ERD diagram generator (React + MermaidJS + OpenAI) adopted by students to save hours on database assignments, using validation loops to ensure valid Mermaid output.”

“Backend engineer who built an AI RAG quoting system for the fastener industry, reducing quote turnaround from weeks to ~30 minutes and raising retrieval accuracy to ~90% by solving a semantic-collision issue with a parent-document retrieval design. Strong in production AWS integrations (Cognito auth, S3 pre-signed uploads), performance optimization (multithreading/out-of-core), and real-time streaming (Kafka/Spark Kappa architecture achieving sub-second latency), plus Kubernetes logging and GitHub Actions CI/CD to ECR.”

“Application/security-focused customer-facing implementer who has secured multi-customer data aggregation apps using per-tenant isolation, short-lived/scoped tokens, and vault-based secrets management. Troubleshoots production issues via API gateway logs and performance tuning, and runs repeatable onboarding playbooks with strong customer-specific and cross-project documentation. Emphasizes AWS least-privilege IAM and secure agent deployment patterns, plus container scanning practices that catch vulnerabilities pre-production and build developer trust.”

“Built a production AI stylist agent for retail store associates that pulls customer loyalty, address, and purchase-history data to generate in-store product recommendations. Demonstrates hands-on experience across agent orchestration, MCP-based tool integration, Vertex AI/GCP deployment, observability, resilience patterns, and pragmatic production tradeoffs like using PostgreSQL with pgvector instead of a standalone vector database.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong fintech/financial-systems experience who built an automated reconciliation and reporting system end-to-end (Python/Django/FastAPI + React, Docker on AWS), cutting reconciliation time by ~25% and improving audit traceability. Experienced designing typed REST APIs and Postgres data models, operating production workloads on AWS (EC2/Lambda/RDS/DynamoDB/CloudWatch), and building reliable ETL/integration pipelines with idempotency, retries, and reconciliation.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across FastAPI microservices and AWS (Lambda, ECS, SQS, RDS, S3), plus Glue/Athena analytics pipelines. Demonstrates strong reliability and operations focus (timeouts/retries, centralized errors, CloudWatch monitoring) and measurable SQL optimization impact (25s to under 2s). Seeking fully remote senior developer role at ~$150k base.”
