Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI platforms and FinTech

USA3y exp

“Built full-stack and AI-driven products spanning banking KYC modernization and enterprise software testing automation. Particularly strong in productionizing LLM workflows in regulated environments, using deterministic orchestration, RAG, and human-in-the-loop controls to improve test coverage to 80% and reduce QA reporting burden by over 50%.”

“Candidate comes from SaaS and healthcare analytics rather than game development, but has strong end-to-end ownership experience building real-time, high-availability systems in Python/AWS. They highlight measurable impact across performance, throughput, uptime, and cost reduction, including queue optimization and predictive ICU utilization pipelines, and are looking to transfer that systems engineering foundation into Unity/gameplay work.”

“Full-stack engineer with end-to-end ownership across React/TypeScript frontends, Spring Boot/Node microservices, and production ops on Docker/Kubernetes and AWS (ECS/CloudWatch). Built real-time healthcare eligibility and analytics systems at Cigna and an early-stage seller onboarding platform at Flipkart, driving measurable performance gains (35–40% latency/throughput improvements) through event-driven Kafka pipelines, Redis caching, and strong reliability/observability practices.”

“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.”

“Developed and productionized an AI-driven "indication finding" system for AbbVie to identify additional diseases a drug could target, working closely with clinical research teams on cohort inclusion/exclusion criteria and disease rollups. Leveraged an LLM to map clinical inputs to ICD codes and built configuration-driven ML pipelines (Cloudera ML, YAML, scheduled jobs) with structured testing and evaluation for reliability.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built a resume processing and job application platform using Python/MongoDB/Streamlit, including OpenAI-powered skill/keyword extraction and recruiter-facing search/filtering. Has hands-on cloud deployment experience on AWS/Azure and executed an on-prem reservation portal migration to Azure using a phased trial-and-cutover approach; also automated CI/CD with Jenkins and GitHub Actions.”

“ML/NLP engineer currently working in NYC on a system that connects complex unstructured data sources to deliver personalized insights, using embeddings + vector DB retrieval and a RAG architecture (LangChain, Pinecone/OpenSearch). Strong focus on production constraints—especially low-latency retrieval—using FAISS/ANN, PCA, index partitioning, and Redis caching, plus PEFT fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) and KPI/SLA-driven promotion to production.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with experience building an embedding-based ad matching and search system at Vericast (BERT embeddings + similarity search) to replace a third-party taxonomy approach, evaluated via a human-curated gold standard. Also built a custom NER pipeline at Allstate for auto accident claims calls using a bidirectional LSTM and achieved 90%+ F1, with a strong emphasis on production-grade ML workflows (testing, CI/CD, orchestration, versioning, validation).”

“Software engineer at Wrap who built production AWS Lambda services for large-scale Parquet dataset generation (50k+ records) and a synthetic traffic/lead generation system using Python, Playwright, and Jenkins. Also built and deployed a full-stack hobby product (MyAnimeListRanker) that ingests MyAnimeList user data and uses an Elo-based ranking workflow, with operational guardrails like rate limiting and monitoring via Vercel/logs.”

“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.”

“Built and shipped LLM/OCR/NLP-driven document-intelligence workflows in operational environments (EnvoyX and UPS), emphasizing production readiness via explicit state-machine orchestration, confidence gates, and human-in-the-loop review. Demonstrated strong business impact in customs brokerage/document ingestion: 50% fewer customs rejects, 30% higher throughput, SLA adherence improved from 71% to 96%, and platform reliability reaching 99.6% with 78% fewer bad-data incidents.”

“Data engineer/backend engineer who owns large-scale, real-time event pipelines on AWS end-to-end, including a petabyte-scale CDC ingestion flow from multiple Postgres DBs into Redshift. Re-architected a legacy DynamoDB+S3 approach into a Delta Lake + DuckDB/PyArrow-compatible design, improving performance dramatically (e.g., ~600s to ~10s for 1k records) and increasing reliability at high file volumes.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in LLM agents and full-stack development

Seattle, USA1y exp

“Embedded C++ engineer with Bosch automotive infotainment experience, owning real-time audio middleware modules with strict latency/memory constraints. Strong in profiling/optimizing deterministic behavior, debugging hardware-specific intermittent issues, and building automated test + CI pipelines; currently ramping up on ROS2 concepts (DDS, nodes/topics/services) to transition toward robotics.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered “Vet agent” that automates pet symptom intake across multimodal inputs (images/files/text/speech) and provides analysis/home-care guidance, reaching thousands of daily active users within two months. Demonstrates strong agent engineering fundamentals: state-machine orchestration with structured JSON, tool/schema validation, high-availability routing/failover, and rigorous offline/online evaluation loops with trace-driven reliability improvements.”

“Analytics-focused candidate with hands-on experience building SQL data pipelines and Python-based forecasting workflows for inventory and planning use cases. They emphasize data quality, stakeholder trust, and operational adoption, citing a 19% forecast accuracy improvement and strong experience translating analytics into dashboard-ready business metrics.”

“ML/LLM infrastructure engineer who built and shipped a production internal evaluation + failure-analysis agent (Arthur AI / R3AI context) that orchestrated end-to-end benchmarks with deterministic lineage, regression detection, and root-cause reporting at 5,000+ benchmarks/week. Also built backend observability and data validation systems for analytics pipelines at FullStory processing ~3.4B weekly events, emphasizing schema validation, quarantine fallbacks, and idempotent operations.”
