Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java/Spring Boot and React

Boston, MA2y exp

“Backend engineer (IpserLab) who owned Python services for a production quiz/analytics platform, focusing on reliability and low-latency behavior under peak load. Hands-on with Kubernetes + Docker deployments and GitHub Actions CI/CD in a GitOps-style workflow, including solving configuration drift and enabling fast rollbacks. Also implemented Kafka-based event streaming with idempotent consumers and strong observability (lag tracking, structured logging, alerting).”

“Data science/AI intern at University at Buffalo Business Services who built and deployed production systems spanning classic ML and LLM assistants. Delivered real-time competitor intelligence for a Cornell-partnered, $1B beverage launch by scraping/cleaning 5,000+ SKUs and deploying models via API, then built a domain-aware LLM assistant to modernize Excel-based workflows with strong grounding, privacy controls, and sub-5s latency.”

“Software engineer currently building for a wealth management platform, with hands-on ownership across React/TypeScript front ends, Azure serverless backends, and SQL data systems. Stands out for turning hackweek concepts into production features, building observability infrastructure from scratch, and delivering measurable gains in latency, uptime, incident response, and client satisfaction.”

“Built a production "Mini RAG Assistant" for internal document Q&A, focusing on grounded answers (anti-hallucination), retrieval quality, and latency/cost optimization. Uses LangChain/LangGraph for orchestration and applies a metrics-driven evaluation loop (including reranking and semantic chunking improvements) while collaborating closely with product stakeholders.”

“Engineer with experience in regulated healthcare and financial systems, including a United Health healthcare service migration to AWS. Built documentation-as-code for CI/CD (Jenkins/Docker/Kubernetes/Terraform + GitHub Actions) that accelerated release cycles from 3 weeks to 4 days and tied security configuration (Spring Security/OAuth2/JWT) directly to HIPAA/GDPR compliance. Strong in observability-led incident response (ELK/Prometheus/Grafana) and performance tuning (PostgreSQL, async processing), citing MTTR reduction from 3 hours to 50 minutes and support for 250K+ concurrent users.”

“LLM/RAG-focused engineer who repeatedly takes agentic workflows from impressive demos to dependable production using rigorous evals, SLOs, and deep observability. Has led high-impact incident mitigation (22-minute MTTR during a major sale) and developer enablement workshops, and partnered with sales to close a $410k ARR enterprise deal with a tailored RAG pilot (FastAPI/pgvector/Okta/InfoSec-ready).”

“Full-stack product engineer who builds and owns production features across Next.js/React/TypeScript and Java Spring Boot, with strong Postgres data modeling and performance tuning. Has delivered measurable improvements (60%+ faster renders, 2s→100ms queries, 50% lower workflow latency) and built reliable Kafka-based workflows with robust observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager) and high test coverage.”

Mid-level Data Analyst specializing in analytics, BI, and predictive modeling

CT, USA6y exp

“Analytics professional with cross-domain experience spanning healthcare claims, logistics optimization, and customer booking funnels. They combine strong SQL/Python execution with stakeholder alignment and operational adoption, and can point to measurable impact including 18% healthcare cost optimization and 24% logistics savings.”

“ML/computer-vision practitioner who shipped a CycleGAN-based bilingual handwriting translation demo (English↔Telugu) for low-resource scripts using unpaired datasets, focusing on preserving handwriting style and real-time deployment via Gradio. Also delivered a medical imaging pipeline by fine-tuning ResNet-50 and ViT-B/16 for pneumonia detection, emphasizing reproducibility, measurable evaluation, and stakeholder-friendly iteration.”

“Full-stack product engineer who has built AI-assisted CRM and agent workflows in Project SARA and operational systems like payroll for a staffing platform. Stands out for combining React/TypeScript, Django/Postgres, real-time systems, and LLM orchestration with strong product instincts—delivering measurable gains in response time, conversion, and engineering leverage.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building a real-time notification API on Flask/Celery/Postgres and scaling it on AWS with Docker, Redis queuing, and SQLAlchemy query optimization. Also delivered AWS serverless deployments (Lambda) using Terraform + GitHub Actions and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines from S3 to Redshift with CloudWatch monitoring and DataBrew data quality checks.”

“Data/ML engineer from HCLTech who modernized enterprise data by linking fragmented financial and supply-chain data across SAP/SQL Server/Snowflake using NLP entity linking and embeddings (FAISS). Delivered measurable impact including ~40% reduction in manual error-log triage and entity-linking accuracy improvements from ~86% to ~93%, with results surfaced in Power BI for real-time analytics.”

“Full-stack .NET/Azure engineer with end-to-end ownership of policy management microservices (React/TypeScript + C#/ASP.NET Core + Kubernetes) delivering significant performance and quality improvements (e.g., response time -35%, defects -30%, CSAT +18%). Also productionized an AI-assisted analyst workflow using Azure OpenAI with a RAG pipeline on Azure Cognitive Search, including rigorous prompt versioning, guardrails, and measurable impact (review time -40%, errors -55%). Led incremental legacy modernization via Strangler Fig and dual-write migrations with zero production regressions.”
