“Data Software Tools Analyst at Q.ai through rapid growth and a $2B Apple acquisition who led an internal CMS for participant/PII workflows using Next.js (App Router) + FastAPI/Postgres with strong security controls (JWT + Postgres RLS). Also drove a major frontend architecture shift toward React Server Components, reporting ~4x faster page loads, and has experience building durable realtime collaboration systems with Supabase/SvelteKit and server-centric state management.”

“Solutions Engineer specializing in taking LLM copilots from demo to production, with a strong emphasis on enterprise security (RBAC/OAuth), grounded RAG behavior (cite-or-refuse), and operational readiness (eval loops, logging, runbooks). Experienced in real-time diagnosis of agentic/LLM workflow failures and in partnering with Sales/CS to run integration-first POCs that clear security and reliability concerns and accelerate rollout.”

“Built an end-to-end wafer-data anomaly detection and reporting system at Samsung using PySpark, Random Forest models, SQL, and Grafana to help engineers track faults and take corrective action. Also has strong UX prototyping and validation practices in Figma plus hands-on front-end/full-stack experience (HTML/CSS/TypeScript), including a student project recognized as best design out of 25 teams, and early-stage startup experience pivoting a product based on user interviews into a real-time in-context feedback overlay.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across FastAPI microservices and AWS data platforms. Has delivered serverless and Glue/EMR-based ETL pipelines with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Sentry, CloudWatch/SNS), schema-evolution resilience, and measurable SQL performance wins (5 min to <30 sec). Open to onsite meetings in the Bethesda, MD area and flexible on remote arrangements.”

“Software/IoT-focused candidate with startup internship experience building a planner AI service integrating Google Calendar (OAuth/token handling) and connecting AI, backend, frontend, and database. Also has embedded systems + AWS networking troubleshooting experience and has implemented TCP networking projects optimized for throughput and low jitter/latency; collaborates with clients via weekly meetings using Trello/Slack.”

“Customer-facing software engineer who builds configurable, extensible solutions under vague requirements (e.g., a bin-packing-style resource allocation feature) and iterates via frequent sandbox deployments and customer testing. Has hands-on experience integrating multiple shipping APIs, navigating outdated/unclear documentation, and resolving production issues quickly through log-driven debugging and safe rollback procedures.”

“ML/NLP practitioner focused on financial-services document intelligence and compliance workflows—built an end-to-end pipeline to classify documents and extract financial entities from loan applications, emails, and statements stored in S3/internal databases. Strong in entity resolution/record linkage and in productionizing pipelines with GitHub Actions CI/CD, testing, data validation, and Docker, plus semantic search using OpenAI embeddings and a vector database.”

“AppSec-focused engineer from Kaiser Permanente who advises on authentication/API security, performs lightweight threat modeling, and integrates SAST + dependency scanning into CI/CD while actively reducing false positives to improve release speed. Demonstrated strong troubleshooting using logs/traces/metrics (e.g., diagnosing auth failures caused by clock skew) and communicates security tradeoffs differently for engineering vs product stakeholders.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer with finance domain experience (State Street) who built and shipped a Kafka-based real-time trade validation system handling 50k+ trades/sec and cut latency by 42%.
