Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in Healthcare IT and cloud-native microservices

Northridge, CA6y exp

“Backend/ML engineer with healthcare experience at Kaiser Permanente building HIPAA-compliant Java/Spring Boot + GraphQL APIs integrated with Epic HealthConnect, including hands-on reliability/performance debugging using Prometheus/Grafana and resolver-level N+1 elimination. Also built an end-to-end malaria parasite detection ML feature (CNN/R-CNN) with evaluation, guardrails, and workflow integration, and has experience designing robust state-machine-based automation with retries, DLQs, and alerting.”

“QA automation engineer with strong Cypress/JavaScript experience in healthcare claims and eligibility systems, owning end-to-end regression suites that combine UI, API, and SQL/database validations. Known for catching subtle pricing/benefit calculation defects (copay/deductible/accumulator issues) before release, stabilizing flaky CI tests via API synchronization, and shaping requirements early to improve testability and reduce downstream rework.”

United States3y exp

“Backend Java engineer with strong platform/DevOps experience: modernized an insurance claims legacy monolith into DDD-aligned microservices, deployed containerized services on Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and static analysis gates, and implemented GitOps using ArgoCD. Also led major AWS migration planning with dependency mapping and network monitoring to uncover hidden dependencies, and built Kafka-based real-time event streaming with schema-registry-driven evolution.”

“QA automation engineer focused on end-to-end quality for a CMS lien registration workflow, owning a Playwright-based regression suite covering high-risk paths (creation, amendments, cancellation, batch file validation). Demonstrated impact by catching a UI change that bypassed required-field validation pre-release, stabilizing flaky CI tests using network-response signals, and driving clearer acceptance criteria and observability improvements (request IDs in logs) through cross-functional collaboration.”

Remote, USA5y exp

“Backend engineer who built a stateless Python/Flask service supporting a healthcare-document ETL pipeline, offloading heavy processing to Celery workers and adding strong observability (metrics, structured logs, audits). Demonstrates practical performance/reliability work: batch chunking, priority queues, autoscaling by queue depth/CPU, DLQ routing, and PostgreSQL tuning (indexes, pagination) to cut slow API responses. Also has experience deploying real-time ML classification via TensorFlow Serving behind a FastAPI wrapper and integrating models via REST/gRPC.”

“Software engineer with MERN stack experience who says they have built enterprise and SaaS products, set up CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins, and created reusable UI components across an application. They also referenced using AI tools like Claude, GPT, Codex, and Cursor with agentic AI concepts, plus CloudWatch-based tracing and crash monitoring.”

“QA automation engineer with deep experience owning end-to-end Cypress/JavaScript test suites (smoke, regression, and API contract tests) integrated into GitHub CI with merge gating and rich reporting. Demonstrated healthcare enrollment domain expertise by catching a critical eligibility versioning/overwrite defect via API + DB assertions that UI tests missed, then hardening the pipeline with contract tests and idempotency checks.”

“Backend/platform engineer with State Farm experience modernizing and scaling an enterprise consolidated payment data platform and event-driven pipelines. Built cloud-native payment architecture (ECS->EKS) handling millions of financial transactions/day and high-volume telemetry (~100M events/day), with strong schema governance (Avro + schema registry) and production operations/incident mitigation driven by observability.”

Senior Full-Stack Java Developer specializing in cloud-native FinTech microservices

Remote, CA7y exp

“JavaScript/React engineer with hands-on open-source library contribution experience, including thoughtful PRs that improved error handling, API flexibility, and added features backed by tests and documentation. Demonstrates a profiling-first approach to UI/runtime performance (memoization, component splitting, render-path optimization) and strong community support skills—reproducing edge cases, delivering sustainable fixes, and communicating workarounds and releases.”

Junior SDET/QA Automation Engineer specializing in FinTech testing and CI/CD automation

Tempe, AZ2y exp

“QA automation engineer from Bajaj Finance who owned end-to-end automated test suites for large-scale web/mobile products (70M+ users), building Python and API automation integrated with Jenkins/Azure DevOps. Drove measurable quality outcomes (40% less regression effort, 35% fewer production defects, 98% successful UAT across 25+ releases) and has strong fintech lending domain experience (loan disbursement/repayment/eligibility).”

“Senior product leader who helped transform Submittable from a single-program grant tool into a multi-program impact platform, driving ARR from $20M to $70M+ while improving retention and margins. Particularly strong in enterprise platform strategy and human-centered AI, with a clear philosophy of using AI to augment expert judgment rather than replace it.”

“Python backend engineer who owned an end-to-end Django/DRF authentication and account-management module (JWT, RBAC, email verification) and optimized token validation performance. Has hands-on Kubernetes + Helm delivery with GitOps via ArgoCD (multi-environment app-of-apps, drift detection/rollback) and has supported a cloud-to-on-prem migration using staged testing and phased cutover. Also built and scaled a Kafka-based real-time user activity tracking pipeline with reliability and backpressure controls.”

“AAA sports game QA tester who supported full development through launch and live updates, owning gameplay stability/regression risk. Experienced in triage-driven prioritization and in diagnosing complex crash issues (including thread synchronization) using evidence-backed Jira reports, then hardening coverage with stress/concurrency/soak and CI-integrated regression suites.”

“QA engineer with 12 years of experience in SaaS/platform releases (not AAA games), partnering closely with developers and product through standups, 1:1s, and Three Amigos. Owned high-risk areas like payment data integrity and critical user journeys, running CI-based full regression to support go/no-go decisions. Notably caught a production EV charging receipt defect (zero charge shown) and drove it to resolution with strong Jira documentation and cross-functional escalation.”
