Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack, cloud, and mobile development

Buffalo, NY4y exp

“Backend engineer with open-source web3.js contributions focused on preventing costly smart-contract execution failures, plus hands-on blockchain startup experience scaling an NFT mint from a test EC2 setup to AWS Lambda/API Gateway under extreme concurrency. Built a multiplayer backend improving tick rate from 40 Hz to 105 Hz using UDP, containerization, and Kubernetes, and has healthcare production support experience across 10+ apps. Also publishes IEEE research papers and produces developer-friendly documentation that accelerates team adoption.”

“Software engineer who deployed and stabilized a real-time analytics platform at Senecio Software, focusing on production reliability, observability, and performance under load. Experienced debugging issues spanning distributed services and networking (e.g., tracing timeouts to packet loss from misconfiguration) and extending Python (FastAPI/Django) APIs for customer-specific analytics features in a configurable, maintainable way.”

“Candidate is actively using AI-assisted development tools, including MCP server integrations with Copilot, to generate boilerplate test scripts, validate code standards, and handle package updates. They also have hands-on experience choosing different agents based on task requirements and serving as an admin for AI tool access.”

“Full-stack engineer who has shipped and operated generative-AI chat/QA features end-to-end, including a RAG-based pipeline with guardrails and cost/latency monitoring in production. Experienced with React/TypeScript + Node/Postgres architectures, Dockerized deployments to AWS (EC2) via GitHub Actions CI/CD, and building reliable ingestion/ETL systems with idempotency, backfills, and reconciliation.”

“Cloud/DevOps-focused engineer with hands-on experience building Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications deployed to AKS, including security scanning, approvals, versioned artifacts, and rollback. Also implemented Terraform-based IaC for Azure (VNets/subnets/NSGs/AKS) with modular design, remote state/locking, and drift detection; resolved a real deployment outage caused by an Azure RBAC permission change.”

“Product-minded full-stack engineer with experience in fintech identity verification and industrial analytics, focused on turning repeated operational pain points into reusable platforms. Built real-time KYC/KYB dashboards, secure cross-platform web components, and a multi-tenant workflow engine that cut onboarding from 2 weeks to 1 day while materially improving conversion, reliability, and developer speed.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong production experience improving performance and reliability of data-heavy analytics products. Has shipped end-to-end features spanning Node/Express + PostgreSQL + Redis and React/TypeScript, deployed via Docker/GitHub Actions to AWS EKS with Helm, and monitored with Datadog/CloudWatch; also built a Python compliance automation backend for AWS security monitoring with RBAC, versioned REST APIs, and resilient throttling-aware processing.”

Senior Full-Stack Developer specializing in Node.js/TypeScript, cloud, and data engineering

Chicago, United States10y exp

“Frontend/fullstack lead who inherited a messy psychological app with production issues, drove a rapid stabilization (2–3 weeks) and major performance/architecture overhaul (Redux Toolkit, memoization, caching, lazy loading, CDN offload to S3/CloudFront). Also owns delivery and infrastructure practices (multi-env, Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD, AWS ECS + load balancing) and led a 1-week POC for an AI-powered trucking management system (app.neblo.ai).”

Mid-level DevOps Engineer specializing in AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and GenAI infrastructure

Walnut Creek, CA4y exp

“Database/platform engineer with stronger hands-on experience in AWS and Azure than GCP, but able to speak credibly about cloud database architecture, automation, and reliability engineering. They led an on-prem MySQL to RDS/DynamoDB migration, built Terraform/Python-based zero-touch database operations, and described a performance incident where latency dropped from 2s to under 300ms while supporting 2x traffic.”

“Built an end-to-end agentic population health strategy copilot for healthcare leadership, turning broad chronic disease questions into structured, evidence-backed strategy briefs. Stands out for combining healthcare domain knowledge with production-grade GenAI implementation, including LangGraph orchestration, Databricks/MLflow deployment, human review, and quality gates focused on citations, metrics, risks, and safety.”

Junior Cloud & AI Infrastructure Engineer specializing in Agentic AI and AWS

San Jose, CA2y exp

“Built and deployed a production AI career-advice agent designed to combat unreliable/generic LLM guidance by grounding outputs in retrieval-first RAG over resumes/job/hiring data, with multi-step reasoning, structured memory, and evidence-only prompting to reduce hallucinations. Implemented the system with LangChain/Python and deployed on AWS as scalable microservices orchestrated via REST and asynchronous calls, iterating closely with career coaches and students.”

“AI/ML engineer with 9+ years of experience building production recommendation and LLM systems end-to-end, from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Stands out for combining strong MLOps discipline with practical GenAI/RAG implementation, including measurable impact such as ~25% higher engagement on an e-commerce recommender and nearly 30% faster knowledge retrieval from internal documents.”

“Cloud infrastructure/DevOps engineer focused on AWS/Azure production environments, with hands-on experience running EKS-based platforms, Terraform-driven IaC, and secure Jenkins/GitLab CI pipelines. Has led real-world migrations from EC2 to Kubernetes using blue/green cutovers and executed multi-AZ failover testing with documented same-day recovery and no data loss; does not have direct IBM Power/AIX ownership experience.”
