Deep hands-on experience with LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Hugging Face embeddings, LangGraph agent workflows, and metric-driven evaluation (golden sets, TruLens), including a reported 28% relevancy lift via cross-encoder re-ranking.”

“Product-minded software engineer with experience shipping AI-powered financial insights (spend forecasting, cashflow, credit optimization) and building real-time analytics systems using React/TypeScript and FastAPI. Has designed microservices with RabbitMQ/gRPC and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry), and also built an internal Figma plugin adopted by designers that reduced export time by 50%.”

Principal Software Engineer specializing in AI-native FinTech systems

Mountain View, CA23y exp

“Fintech product engineer working on a large-scale credit monitoring platform (tens of millions of users) with deep experience in regulated banking integrations, PII security, and step-up/MFA flows. Has shipped customer-facing React/TypeScript experiences driven by Optimizely experimentation and built reliable partner-facing microservices/SDKs on AWS, including resolving production traffic loss caused by edge security (DataDome/CAPTCHA) conflicts with payment providers.”

“Full-stack engineer from early-stage startups who has owned AI products end to end, from B2B document intelligence platforms on AWS to an HVAC voice assistant and a GCP-based RAG research system. Stands out for combining hands-on backend/infra depth with team leadership in lean environments, and for shipping scalable AI systems that contributed to roughly 1 million yuan in sponsorship.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on compliance and statistical processing systems on AWS, building containerized FastAPI services plus event-driven async workflows (Step Functions/EventBridge) with strong reliability patterns (JWT auth, idempotency, structured logging). Has modernized SAS-based batch pipelines into modular Python/AWS services with parallel-run parity validation, and has demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (40+ min to <10 min) and hands-on incident ownership using CloudWatch-driven detection and prevention.”

“Walmart engineer who built and shipped a production LLM+RAG system to automate triage and analysis of computer support chats/tickets, producing grounded, schema-constrained JSON outputs for summaries, urgency, and routing recommendations.
