Senior Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native backend and web/mobile apps

Seattle, WA8y exp

“Backend engineer with Tesla experience building Python-based, serverless microservices for a supply chain portal, including a MongoDB-backed tracking/logging system and a reconciler Lambda to manage retries and failures. Has hands-on Kubernetes (EKS) and GitOps (Argo CD) experience, plus real-time Kafka pipelines for fleet/IoT telemetry and proxy-based migrations from monolith systems to AWS databases.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in FinTech full-stack development

San Francisco Bay Area, CA3y exp

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer with experience spanning early-stage startup work at Rundoo and a higher-trust fintech environment at Wealthfront. They’ve owned complex permission-based household/account experiences end-to-end in Next.js/React, with strong instincts around data flow, UI correctness, performance, and production pragmatism.”

“Built and shipped a production agentic RAG system for healthcare analysts that automated compliance/operations knowledge retrieval across PDFs, reports, and databases. Emphasizes production reliability (monitoring, retries, fallbacks, async queues), strong evaluation/iteration loops, and measurable impact (3–10s responses and ~98% top-k retrieval accuracy).”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production AWS experience spanning serverless APIs (Chalice/Lambda/API Gateway/Cognito) and data pipelines (Glue PySpark + Step Functions). Has modernized a legacy SAS reporting system into AWS microservices and implemented schema-drift detection and incident prevention for ETL workflows, plus measurable SQL tuning wins (30 min to <10 min runtime).”

“Infrastructure/platform engineer with hands-on experience running production and non-production Amazon EKS clusters, including upgrade processes and reliability monitoring via Prometheus/Grafana. Also administered on-prem VMware vSphere/vCloud Director and handled a significant vSwitch/VLAN outage, and uses Terraform + Terragrunt with S3 remote state and release-based drift detection across dev/stage/prod.”

Junior Backend/Platform Engineer specializing in AI microservices and cloud-native systems

Pittsburgh, PA2y exp

“Cofounder at MeowyAI who shipped a production multimodal (vision/voice/text) AI task manager using Gemini, tackling real-world issues like hallucinations, tool-calling safety, and RAG-based preference memory. Also built a production multi-agent RAG system orchestrated with LangGraph (and contributes to LangChain), with strong emphasis on latency optimization, observability (OpenTelemetry), and rigorous testing/evaluation including A/B tests and adversarial prompting.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer from Roku who led and shipped a cross-platform real-time multiplayer system spanning Meta Quest VR and iOS/Android, including AI/LLM-driven NPC behavior. Reported strong post-launch outcomes (+40% VR retention, +25% engagement) with stable networking (server-authoritative, delta compression/prediction) and robust debugging/observability via logging and replay tools.”

“Software Developer at Amazon Robotics who co-developed a congestion-aware path planning system optimizing robot routes across 23 warehouses. Built and operated a real-time, service-integrated pipeline using AWS (AppConfig, DynamoDB), Java, and Redis caching, and has hands-on experience debugging robot behavior on-site with rigorous testing and staged releases.”

Anushka Bhagchandani

Intern Product & Software Engineer specializing in GenAI/LLM and e-commerce platforms

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Software engineer (2+ years in India) and current GenAI intern who shipped LLM-powered review-writing enhancements at Myntra (Walmart-backed), using pilots and A/B tests to lift review quality by 5% in 30 days. Demonstrates strong LLM operations discipline (logging, dashboards, alerts, rollback) and fast incident response, plus experience delivering developer-focused workshops and public technical talks.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Walmart and HealthSnap building Python services and data pipelines on AWS (EKS, Lambda, Glue, Airflow). Strong reliability and operations focus—implemented idempotency + circuit breakers for peak-traffic consistency issues, GitOps CI/CD, and observability. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (Postgres p95 45s to <5s, ~60% CPU reduction) and modernized SAS batch workflows to Python with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flagged rollout.”

Michael Kilgore

Mid-Level Software Development Engineer specializing in AWS data pipelines and forecasting systems

3y exp

“Built and deployed (via an Upwork contract) an LLM-powered agent for options trading that detects large options trade events, enriches them with market/filing data (price history, earnings transcripts, insider trading), and delivers recommendations via Telegram. Implemented schema-constrained outputs (Pydantic/Google GenAI), robust orchestration, logging, and error-notification handling, plus vector-DB-based reuse of prior outputs to improve consistency.”

“Built both traditional data infrastructure and LLM-powered product workflows, spanning a Python/SQL ETL deployment at Amazon and an adaptive learning system for their DataLingo platform. Particularly interesting for roles at the intersection of data engineering, applied AI, and customer-facing product delivery, with hands-on experience stabilizing probabilistic LLM systems in production.”

“Built a production RAG-based "knowledge copilot" for support/ops using LangChain/LangGraph, implementing the full pipeline (ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector DB retrieval/rerank, guarded generation with citations) and operating it as monitored microservices with CI/CD. Also designed an event-driven, streaming backend for real-time inventory ordering predictions that reduced stockouts by 25%, and has hands-on incident response experience stabilizing LLM API latency/5xx spikes using Datadog/APM and resilience patterns.”
