Senior Gameplay Systems Programmer specializing in AAA game systems and networking

Raleigh, NC8y exp

“Gameplay engineer with shipped experience (Just Cause 4) and strong systems ownership in C++/Unreal Engine 5, including a loot spawning/loot table pipeline optimized through profiling-driven memory copy elimination and validated via custom simulation tools. Also built a server-authoritative fast travel system in a proprietary engine, handling multi-player/vehicle spawn coordination with client-side collision checks and latency testing across NYC and Stockholm.”

Mid-level Data Engineer specializing in cloud lakehouse/warehouse pipelines

4y exp

“Data engineer with HCA Healthcare experience building and operating end-to-end AWS-based pipelines for clinical and operational reporting (50–100 GB/day), serving curated data into Redshift/Snowflake for Power BI/Tableau. Emphasizes production reliability (Airflow SLAs/retries/alerting, logging/observability) and strong data quality controls (reconciliations, schema/null/duplicate checks), and has shipped versioned REST APIs to expose warehouse data to downstream systems.”

“Platform/infra engineer with deep Kubernetes (EKS) and VMware vSphere experience who has led a monolith-to-microservices transition for a credit lending decision platform. Built GitOps-driven Terraform delivery with strong governance, and used LaunchDarkly-based progressive rollouts plus Datadog observability to safely ship multiple times per day (reported ~6x throughput and 1/3 the bugfix tickets vs legacy). Also operates hybrid on-prem/AWS networking (firewall + Transit Gateway, BGP) and has handled high-stakes datacenter migrations (100TB Storage vMotion) under Sev1 conditions.”

“Accenture data engineer who greenfielded a supply-chain lakehouse platform, building an end-to-end medallion/Delta pipeline ingesting ~1.4TB/day from 17+ ERP/WMS/TMS/shipment sources. Delivered Gold datasets to Redshift/Synapse/Databricks SQL powering Power BI/Tableau with a 99.5% SLA, while cutting runtime 30% and cloud costs 16% through Spark/Delta optimizations and robust data quality controls.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML and full-stack systems

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Data Scientist (2–3 years) at ZS Associates who has built and productionized agentic LLM systems, including a LangGraph-based multi-LLM prompt-optimization pipeline for entity extraction deployed as a Spring Boot microservice via Jenkins. Also built an Insightmate.ai chatbot and improved its RAG accuracy by diagnosing vector retrieval issues and implementing HyDE query expansion, while partnering with sales and pharma stakeholders to drive adoption (e.g., Zimmer Biomet platform migration into a multi-year partnership).”

“Built from scratch a social media analytics MVP featuring an LLM-powered semantic search agent that became a core part of the product experience within a 6-week deadline. Stands out for focusing on production readiness early—retrieval-first design, explicit tool constraints, structured outputs, idempotent services, and practical eval/monitoring loops rather than demo-only AI.”

“Built both a React/Supabase kanban product and CodeVoyage, a multi-agent platform for navigating large TypeScript/Node.js codebases. Stands out for being unusually rigorous about AI-assisted development: they quantify AI usage, manually verify generated code, and have firsthand experience debugging failures in persistence layers, retrieval quality, and long-context agent orchestration.”

“Built and shipped enterprise AI products including a conversational SQL analytics platform and a production RAG system at Johnson & Johnson. Combines full-stack engineering with LLM systems expertise, and has delivered measurable impact at scale, including 48% lower retrieval latency and 37% better response relevance across 12M+ records.”

“Full-stack engineer with recent startup-style experience at SynapOne building enterprise B2B SaaS platforms for compliance and operational review workflows. Stands out for turning ambiguous business problems into production systems, including AI-assisted workflow automation, scalable Go/Python microservices, React/TypeScript interfaces, and PostgreSQL/Elasticsearch-backed platforms used daily by customers.”

“Infrastructure/Platform engineer with deep production ownership of large IBM Power/AIX estates (70 LPARs, dual VIOS, HMC across two data centers), including live DLPAR tuning and PowerHA clustering for Oracle/WebSphere. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience—built GitHub Actions pipelines deploying to Kubernetes with OIDC/Vault secrets and implemented Terraform to provision AWS EKS/VPC/IAM/ALB/RDS with drift detection and controlled rollouts.”

“Frontend engineer who has owned delivery as the only FE developer on a client project (Eltel), stepping into UX/UI and occasionally supporting backend while modernizing a React codebase incrementally. Known for replacing heavy legacy third-party UI libraries with simpler custom React components to improve performance and maintainability, and for working effectively in Scrum teams with strong QA practices (e.g., high unit test coverage and Playwright E2E where possible).”

“IBM Power/AIX engineer with hands-on experience building Oracle RAC environments on Power10 (VIOS, HMC, LPAR/DLPAR, SEA/NPIV) and troubleshooting high-severity production incidents involving SAN/network dependencies. Has led infrastructure refresh and data center consolidation efforts (Power9 rebuilds via mksysb, staged cutovers) and built shell-script automation for monitoring and backup to improve operational stability.”
