“Robotics software engineer with ~7 years of ROS/ROS2 experience spanning Mars rover simulation/navigation, robot arm integration (URDF/MoveIt/ros2_control), and medical magnetic actuation systems using RGB-D feedback. Built a 5-DOF CNC-like magnetic capsule navigation prototype end-to-end and has deep hands-on skill debugging real-time control issues (CAN, encoder timing, controller tuning) plus PLC/Modbus-to-ROS2 integration.”

“Candidate brings an operator-to-founder profile with leadership experience in IT and Business Systems and a strong grasp of how ideas become venture-backable products. They speak fluently about startup evaluation criteria such as TAM, technical defensibility, speed to scale, and AI differentiation, and appear especially motivated by building solutions end-to-end in startup or venture studio environments.”

Mid-level Software Development Engineer in Test specializing in CI/CD and web automation

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“QA automation engineer with ad-tech domain experience (Prebid.js wrapper-based services) who built an end-to-end Python automation framework using Playwright to validate wrapper settings, auction request/response, and analytics payloads. Uses Jenkins-driven CI reporting and feature-categorized regression runs to quickly isolate revenue-impacting defects and coordinate fast fixes with developers.”

“Hands-on production engineer with deep Oracle tuning and observability-driven troubleshooting experience in a 24x7 healthcare system used by pharmacists across the U.S. While not yet hands-on with GCP databases, they bring strong transferable cloud and platform experience from AWS/Azure, including migration work, memory leak remediation, HA/DR operations, and end-to-end performance debugging across DB, JVM, and network layers.”

“Backend engineer who built a serverless AWS Lambda microservices backend for a parenting assistance mobile app, including a personalized recommendation system optimized to sub-500ms via precomputed scoring and DynamoDB caching. Demonstrates strong production pragmatism: CloudWatch-driven performance tuning (provisioned concurrency), zero-downtime phased schema migrations, and robustness patterns like optimistic locking and request deduplication. Also led a refactor of an LLM RAG pipeline to improve retrieval quality and cut latency from ~5s to ~3s.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered multi-agent compliance copilot (life sciences/finance) using LangChain/LangGraph + RAG over vector databases, delivered via async FastAPI on Kubernetes. Emphasizes audit-ready, deterministic outputs with schema constraints and citations, plus rigorous evaluation/monitoring; reports 60%+ reduction in manual research time and successful production adoption.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer building complex internal platforms and customer-facing demos at the intersection of infrastructure and product. Shipped a no-code Product Lifecycle Manager for manufacturing (3 manufacturers, 1000+ evolving tests) using AWS S3/SQS ingestion and extensible Postgres (EAV+JSONB) with end-to-end traceability. Also built a FastAPI-based company data intelligence platform with Okta-secured RBAC and an LLM/MCP layer for ChatGPT-like analytics over enterprise data sources.”

“Built and shipped a real-time oncology risk prediction system used by doctors during patient visits, trained on clinical data in AWS SageMaker and deployed via FastAPI with sub-second responses. Emphasizes clinician-trust features (SHAP explainability, validation checks) and HIPAA-compliant controls (encryption, RBAC, audit logging), plus Kubernetes-based production operations with autoscaling, monitoring, and drift/retraining workflows; collaborated closely with oncologists at Flatiron Health.”

“Software engineer with strong compliance-domain experience who built a customer-facing compliance and reporting dashboard using React/TypeScript with Spring Boot microservices. Demonstrates mature production engineering practices—contract-first APIs, event-driven architecture (Kafka/RabbitMQ), caching (Redis), and robust CI/CD + observability (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK)—and also created a Python-based audit automation tool adopted into the standard release process.”

“Cloud infrastructure/SRE-style engineer with experience at TCS and ServiceNow focused on IBM Cloud and Linux/RHEL operations, security hardening, and automation in Python. Has led end-to-end production incident response (certificate expiry) and implemented preventive alerting adopted by 20+ teams, plus built Jenkins CI/CD with Vault-based secrets and Terraform-based AWS provisioning.”

“Infrastructure/Unix engineer with production PowerHA/HACMP operations experience (resource groups, service IPs, shared storage) who has executed planned failovers and recovered a real outage involving a SAN driver crash and manual Oracle recovery (restored service in ~15 minutes with zero data loss). Also supports cloud DevOps practices including CI/CD security scanning (SonarQube, Snyk), container registry/versioning, and Terraform Cloud-based IaC across AWS and GCP with PR/Jenkins-driven plan-and-apply workflows.”

“LLM engineer who built a production seller-support RAG system at eBay using hybrid retrieval (BM25 + Pinecone vectors) with Cohere reranking, LangGraph orchestration, and citation-grounded answers. Strong focus on reliability: semantic/structure-aware chunking, automated Ragas-based evaluation with nightly regressions, and production observability (LangSmith) plus drift monitoring (Arize). Also implemented a multi-agent fraud pipeline with AutoGen using JSON-schema contracts and explicit termination conditions.”

“LLM/agent engineer who shipped a production RAG-based recommendation + explanation system that replaced a traditional recommender stack, delivering ~20% CTR lift (and +8% after a reliability iteration) with strong cold-start performance. Demonstrates strong production rigor: schema-constrained generation, typed tool calling, explicit state/orchestration, deep monitoring/feedback loops, and safe integration with messy ERP inventory/order data using normalization, idempotency, and conflict-resolution guardrails.”

“Full-stack engineer who built an enterprise search platform (Codlens) delivering natural-language Q&A over Jira/Slack using embeddings, vector DB search, re-ranking (RRF), and LLM responses with source grounding. Also designed and benchmarked a distributed IAM system with Postgres transaction-log replication and Raft-based quorum consistency, reporting ~253 TPS at ~60ms latency in a multi-node setup. Experience spans early-stage startups (Zetic AI, Sagwara Capital) and large-scale orgs (Akamai, Atlassian).”

“Full-stack engineer with strong data engineering and privacy-domain experience, having owned an automated Data Subject Rights (DSR) processing pipeline end-to-end across Azure SQL and GCP (GCS/BigQuery). Emphasizes production reliability via idempotency, validation checkpoints, structured logging/monitoring, and safe CI/CD-driven deployments, and has also built React+TypeScript + Node/Postgres web apps with scalable, maintainable architecture.”
