Vetted Cursor (AI Code Editor) Professionals

“Backend engineer who replaced an Excel-heavy forecasting workflow with a secure, auditable FastAPI system (React UI + relational model + async workers), emphasizing deterministic processing, idempotency, and versioned ledger-style ingestion. Led a monolith-to-FastAPI migration at Bounteous using a strangler approach, feature-flagged incremental rollout, and data reconciliation/shadow-compare to protect integrity while scaling onboarding workflows.”

Executive engineering leader specializing in AI automation and enterprise transformation

Banks, OR23y exp

“Technology leader with deep accelerator and zero-to-one product experience across the Department of Defense, Fortune 100 enterprises, academia, and GovTech. Most notably, they built a seven-tier solution that generated over $10M in first-year savings and was adopted by 300+ DoD organizations, positioning them as a strong CTO-type operator for mission-driven startups and complex enterprises.”

“Frontend engineer at Mailchimp who leads end-to-end React/TypeScript features on the in-app homepage, including onboarding and campaign discovery components. Demonstrated measurable performance impact by cutting homepage LCP by ~2.5s and successfully shipped a major feature on an accelerated deadline using structured QA and staged rollout.”

“Customer-support/engineering background spanning Informatica PowerCenter ETL and IBM demos/workshops, with hands-on experience hardening data workflows for production (error tables/reject links, validation, restart strategies, alerting, performance tuning). Also demonstrates a clear, systems-level approach to diagnosing LLM/agentic workflow issues (prompt/RAG/tooling/memory) using instrumentation and iterative fixes, and has partnered with sales on POCs by defining success metrics and mapping solutions to customer architectures.”

“Software engineer with experience across TCS, Rakuten, and USC who has owned production integrations and data pipelines end-to-end. Notably improved a trading platform payment flow by replacing fragile polling with a webhook-driven status system with robust fallbacks, and has shipped LLM-assisted design-to-webpage automation plus evaluation-driven prompt iteration (NYT Connections).”

“Software developer with a one-year Philips co-op who has already applied AI-assisted coding in production, not just side projects. Stands out for using multi-agent development setups with task-specific sub-agents and a clear human-led orchestration philosophy focused on context, quality control, and security.”

Intern Full-Stack Engineer specializing in web applications and AI

New York, NY2y exp

“Engineer with hands-on experience both using AI coding agents in production and building AI systems, including chatbot development and BERT fine-tuning at Atos. At Groupr, they applied strong systems judgment to live operational workflows, validating concurrency decisions manually for an admin portal supporting 500+ orders per day.”

“Full-stack engineer focused on enterprise, cloud-native microservices—building Spring Boot backends and React/Angular front ends with strong security (OAuth/JWT), AWS infrastructure (RDS/S3), and containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes). Has delivered data-heavy order/account/transaction platforms and healthcare solutions including EHR integrations for secure patient data exchange, with emphasis on testing, performance tuning, and reliability (load testing).”

“Software engineer with production experience building a serverless monolith and multi-layer video pipeline at easyML, plus hands-on integration of multiple LLM providers (Grok/Claude/OpenAI) into a full-stack app. Interested in robotics via computer vision (OpenCV/OpenMMLab), with a strong real-time systems mindset around SLOs, latency, determinism, and reliability; also has low-level OS experience writing a keyboard device driver.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer (Vidmob) focused on AWS + containers, owning GitLab CI/CD and Terraform-managed environments. Led a high-impact CI incident by correlating runner queue time, Docker pull latency, and NAT egress; implemented ECR pull-through caching and VPC endpoints to restore performance and then standardized the fix in Terraform for future scale-ups.”

“AI engineer with hands-on production experience building an end-to-end RAG system that reduced document-answering time from hours to minutes, improving accuracy through chunk overlap and hybrid BM25+semantic retrieval. Also built a LangGraph-based agent that researches company financial news via web search (Google Serper), using Pydantic structured outputs and checkpointing for reliability; experienced collaborating with non-technical stakeholders at JPMC and communicating ROI.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned a generative-AI pipeline end-to-end inside the Vibecut video editor using Next.js App Router/TypeScript, Gemini-based prompt routing, and Zustand state management, including concurrency-safe requests. Also integrated Python services to access newly released AI tooling, optimized Postgres/S3 data flows for thumbnails, and built Modal-to-Amplitude workflows for Reddit-driven sentiment/metrics in a pre-seed environment while also handling marketing.”

“Unity/C# mobile game engineer based in Belgrade who has owned and shipped complex meta-systems (shop/battle pass/tournaments) and real-time PvP using Photon, with a strong focus on performance (profiling, memory/GC, draw calls) and live stability. Notably handled a China launch by abstracting regional SDKs behind DI-based interfaces and using Addressables for localized assets, keeping the global codebase clean while maintaining high performance.”

“Backend engineer with experience spanning regulated financial systems at Oracle Financial Services and early-stage product building at Apli.ai. Has owned production onboarding infrastructure end-to-end, improved reliability through strong observability and incident response, and also built AI-backed backend workflows using AWS, Bedrock, and RAG.”
