Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Developer specializing in modern web apps

San Francisco, CA5y exp

“Product-focused full-stack builder who has shipped and operated multiple production apps from scratch, including an e-commerce bakery delivery scheduler (with concurrency controls and timezone handling) and a real-time passenger music-request system for Lyft rides that hit and resolved YouTube API rate-limit scaling issues via debouncing and caching. Strong in React+TypeScript and Node.js/TypeScript backends, with solid PostgreSQL/PostGIS data modeling and performance tuning.”

Mid-level Web Developer specializing in React and TypeScript

Uruguay4y exp

“Frontend developer (self-described intermediate/junior+) who built and released an end-to-end portfolio game (“Dot and Boxes”) in ~3 weeks using React state + Redux, including an in-app guided tour. In a prior role, worked on a full UI + flow redesign for a long booking workflow, focusing on reusable components and integrating Redux while dealing with complex/duplicated state and limited access to external designers via a PM intermediary.”

“Hands-on engineer who has taken an LSTM Bitcoin forecasting model from notebook to a production-grade, monitored API (Docker/Gunicorn/Nginx, Prometheus/Grafana, blue-green rollback) delivering 99.9% availability and ~110–120ms p95 latency. Also built an RFID self-checkout prototype spanning Raspberry Pi + firmware + networking, using deep instrumentation to eliminate double-charges/timeouts (<0.1%) and reduce checkout time ~20% through idempotency, debounce logic, and hardware fixes.”

Entry-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision and systems

Buffalo, NY1y exp

“ML-focused builder who has shipped an end-to-end income-class prediction product: built the data pipeline, trained models, deployed via Streamlit with a live UI, and tracked success via accuracy (84%), adoption, and latency. Demonstrates strong practical MLOps instincts (Docker/Streamlit Cloud, logging/monitoring, caching) and data engineering reliability patterns (schema checks, idempotency, retries, backfills) while iterating quickly in ambiguous, solo-project environments.”

“IBM Power/AIX engineer who has owned a large production estate (20+ Power9/Power10 frames and 400+ LPARs) with vHMC and dual-VIOS HA. Has hands-on incident recovery experience (NPIV/RMC issues, LPM restores) and PowerHA failovers, plus modern DevOps exposure using Terraform on AWS and CI/CD with GitHub Actions/Jenkins (including deploying AI/RAG and vision workloads).”

“Systems-focused C++ engineer who built a 32-bit CPU simulator end-to-end (custom ISA, full memory model, fetch-decode-execute loop) and solved tricky recursion/stack-frame correctness issues through heavy instrumentation and tracing. Has strong Linux and user-kernel boundary experience (procfs) plus modern build/test tooling (Docker, CI/CD, pytest), and is confident ramping quickly into ROS/ROS2 despite not having used it directly.”

“Data engineer focused on building reliable, production-grade pipelines and data services end-to-end, including a 50+ GB/day pipeline ingesting from APIs/files into Snowflake with PySpark/SQL transformations. Emphasizes strong data quality controls, monitoring/retries, and performance optimization, and has also shipped a Python data API with caching and backward-compatible versioning.”

Junior Robotics Engineer specializing in industrial automation and 3D perception

Almaty, Kazakhstan2y exp

“Robotics software engineer at Quant Robotics focused on perception for automated welding/assembly cells, working with LMI Co-Cutter 3D sensors and point-cloud registration. Previously implemented ROS 2 Humble navigation on a Clearpath Jackal by rewriting the NAV2 local controller with a constrained NMPC approach, optimizing for low-latency behavior via C++ and GPU offload. Hands-on with industrial ABB robots (IRB 6700/2600), multi-frame calibration, simulation in Gazebo/RViz, and Docker-based deployment/testing workflows.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based internal document Q&A system using LangChain, vector search, and a dockerized FastAPI LLM service. Focused on reliability by systematically reducing hallucinations and improving retrieval through prompt grounding/abstention strategies, chunking and top-k tuning, and iterative evaluation with logged metrics and manual validation.”

Intern Network/Applied Engineer specializing in cloud security and Kubernetes

Austin, TX2y exp

“Security-focused engineer with hands-on experience implementing and troubleshooting security tooling (including an open-source SIEM) and integrating SCA/container scanning into AWS/EKS and GitHub Actions pipelines. Demonstrates strong cloud security fundamentals (least-privilege IAM, IRSA, private subnet/VPC design, CloudTrail/GuardDuty) and can translate security-usability tradeoffs (e.g., password policy and 2FA) to different stakeholders.”

“Builder with hands-on experience shipping full-stack products across AWS cloud infrastructure, React/TypeScript apps, SQL-backed systems, and privacy-focused AI workflows. Stands out for combining cost-aware architecture, strong debugging instincts, and product thinking—from an e-commerce platform automated with IaC to a university admin portal serving 10,000+ users and a locally run AI assistant with configurable guardrails.”

“Research Analyst at Syracuse who deployed an LLM-powered lab automation system allowing researchers to run QCoDeS instrument workflows via natural language, with strong safety guardrails for real instruments and multi-instrument support. Also collaborated with non-technical stakeholders at iConsult on an audio classification/recommendation pipeline, translating business goals into metrics and Tableau dashboards with model comparisons and A/B test results.”

“Software engineering intern who built and deployed a full-stack telemedicine platform (React/Node/MongoDB) used daily in a pediatric clinic, incorporating PyTorch-based predictive features. Demonstrated strong customer-facing iteration and production performance debugging—resolved a live slowdown by indexing/optimizing MongoDB queries and adding caching, improving response times by ~50%.”

“LLM/RAG engineer at Connex AI who built and deployed a production healthcare agent to extract clinical insights from medical data/notes. Strong focus on real-world reliability—hallucination mitigation (citations, schema validation, confidence thresholds, rejection logic), custom LangChain orchestration (query rewriting, fallback paths), and production evaluation/observability—while collaborating closely with clinical SMEs to ensure clinical fit and time savings.”

Junior Backend & Full-Stack Engineer specializing in Python/FastAPI and cloud services

Binghamton, NY4y exp

“Robotics software contributor from Binghamton University’s drone research lab who built a Dockerized, multithreaded Python control stack integrating Crazyflie firmware for low-latency, real-time coordination of multiple drones. Hands-on with telemetry/command pipelines, profiling and control-loop optimization, and wireless comms using CrazyRadio PA.”

“Internship-built full-stack systems spanning HR employee-record portals and internal data-quality dashboards (Flask + SQL + React), emphasizing data integrity and rapid MVP iteration. Also implemented Flask microservices with RabbitMQ for distributed task processing, addressing duplication/ordering issues with idempotency, durable queues, and correlation-ID logging; delivered quantified productivity gains for HR teams.”
