“Backend/platform engineer with production experience building a Python SDK over a microservices ecosystem, emphasizing reliability (JWT auth, retries/timeouts, custom exceptions) and integration testing. Has delivered AWS EKS microservices with Jenkins+Helm CI/CD, strong secrets/config separation using AWS Secrets Manager, and set up Datadog APM/deployment/change monitoring. Also modernized legacy VB applications to C#/.NET WPF via incremental migration with parity testing and stakeholder sign-off.”

“LLM-focused engineer with end-to-end experience shipping an OpenAI-powered edtech teacher assistant into production, using Humanloop-driven prompt iteration, rigorous observability (Datadog), and A/B testing tied to real learning metrics (25% comprehension lift). Also led adoption-driving technical demos at SiriusXM (event-driven AWS Lambda/Kotlin/CDK pipeline cutting processing from 24 hours to seconds) and partnered with sales at Spresso.ai to close eCommerce SDK deals and boost activation from 40% to 85%.”

“Built and owned end-to-end TypeScript/React dashboards with a Node.js backend, including post-launch additions like role-based access and new reporting views enabled by modular architecture and clean API boundaries. Also created an internal real-time operations/engineering dashboard that replaced spreadsheets and reduced manual tracking, iterating quickly based on direct team feedback.”

“Backend/platform engineer who built real-time connected-vehicle telemetry analytics at Subaru, spanning Kafka streaming, Python/FastAPI ETL, and low-latency WebSocket delivery (minutes to <2s). Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner across AWS EKS and Azure AKS (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitLab) and has led major on-prem-to-cloud migrations for financial microservices using Terraform and AWS DMS with measurable cost and reliability gains.”

“Backend/data engineer who builds Python (FastAPI) data-processing API services for internal analytics/reporting, emphasizing modular architecture, async performance tuning, and reliability patterns (health checks, retries, observability). Also migrated legacy on-prem ETL pipelines to Azure using ADF/Data Lake/Functions and implemented a near-real-time ingestion flow with Event Hubs plus watermarking to handle late events and deduplication.”

“Robotics software architect who built an automated pick-and-place palletizing prototype at BLACK-I-ROBOTICS, spanning perception (multi-RealSense fusion, segmentation, 6D pose, ICP), GPU-accelerated motion planning (MoveIt 2 + NVIDIA CuRobo), grasp generation, and safety (human detection + safe mode). Also brings cloud/CI/CD depth from VERIDIX AI (AWS Cognito/Lambda/ECS and CodePipeline stack) and demonstrated strong debugging chops by reducing outdoor rover EKF drift to ~5 cm via Allan variance-based IMU tuning.”

“Backend engineer who has owned end-to-end delivery of Python/FastAPI microservices for real-time data processing and alerting, including performance tuning (Postgres optimization, caching, async processing). Strong DevOps/GitOps background: Docker + Kubernetes deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD and ArgoCD-driven GitOps, plus experience supporting phased on-prem to AWS migrations and building Kafka-based streaming pipelines.”

“LLM engineer who built a production-style educational questionnaire generation system (MCQs/fill-in-the-blanks/short answers) using Hugging Face models (BERT/T5) and implemented grounding, decoding tuning, and post-generation validation to control hallucinations and quality. Also developed a "tech care" assistant chatbot with a custom Python orchestration/router layer (intent classification, context management, multi-step flows) and a structured testing/evaluation approach including expert review and automated checks.”

“Backend/full-stack Java engineer at PNC Bank specializing in real-time fraud detection systems. Built event-driven Spring Boot + Kafka microservices with PostgreSQL/Redis performance tuning, and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG feature for fraud analysts with strong guardrails (grounded internal data, structured prompts with references, human-in-the-loop) plus an evaluation loop using labeled historical fraud cases.”

“Built and launched a verified listings system for Burrow (student subleasing) after interviewing ~50 students about scam/fake listing concerns; chose a lightweight .edu-based verification approach to ship fast and then iterated with badges and clearer details, reducing churn from 15% to 7%. Also ran an LLM A/B test for auto-generating listing descriptions and improved trust/accuracy by updating prompts to prevent hallucinated details.”

“Built a demo-live LangGraph/LangSmith LLM agent that translates natural language into SQL against a self-built MLB statistics database, using a vector-store knowledge base of example queries. Focused on predictable orchestration via conditional nodes, YAML-driven behaviors, and tool-gated function calling, with testing via LangSmith and Python scripts.”

“Built and launched “Language AI,” a Next.js/TypeScript app that clones a user’s voice (via ElevenLabs) to deliver language lessons in their own voice, using Supabase for auth/Postgres/storage and hosting backend on Render. Post-launch, identified ElevenLabs voice-clone limits after initial users and reworked the pipeline to store audio assets and delete clones to support more concurrent users; also added Google auth to improve adoption. Previously worked in a high-growth startup environment (Study Park) taking concepts from ideation to production.”
