Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and FinTech analytics

Maryland, USA5y exp

“Engineer with a pragmatic, high-leverage approach to AI-assisted development: uses AI and multi-agent workflows aggressively for implementation and internal tooling, while maintaining strict human oversight for user-facing features. Stands out for treating agents like junior engineers, breaking work into actionable tasks, and combining robust testing, local E2E validation, and feature-flag rollouts to safely ship production code.”

“IT Analyst/research background with hands-on experience deploying and hardening a multi-agent AI support/triage system (ticket ingestion + knowledge-base retrieval) with strong emphasis on reliability and observability. Has debugged real production issues spanning backend services and network latency (sync failures/partial writes) and is comfortable in Linux environments; also has academic exposure to robotics simulation and ROS2.”

Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in React, Node.js, and AWS

Halifax, Canada11y exp

“Frontend engineer who led the Dash Merchant App and Backoffice platform (React/TypeScript/Redux) supporting $50M+ in monthly transactions. Focused on scalable architecture and reliability—introduced typed API layers, centralized error handling, and performance optimizations (including ~40% load-time reduction) while driving team adoption through incremental refactors, templates, and pairing.”

“Analytics-focused candidate with hands-on project experience in SQL data preparation and Python-based churn modeling. They demonstrated a practical approach to turning messy multi-source data into reporting tables, validating data quality rigorously, and translating churn insights into targeted retention strategies.”

Junior AI/ML & Mobile Engineer specializing in LLMs, synthetic data, and React Native

New York, United States1y exp

“Currently at Uplift AI shipping production LLM features that generate personalized growth insights from user reflections using BERT + embeddings + RAG, with strong safety/guardrail practices for sensitive contexts. Also built an end-to-end React Native UGC challenge submission/moderation system that improved repeat submissions and 7-day retention, and has applied rigorous clinical-style evaluation methods on a dental X-ray disease detection project to reduce false negatives.”

“Analytics professional with operations-grounded experience at WWEX Group who built a Snowflake/dbt fleet-efficiency data model combining telematics, ERP, and driver logs into near real-time executive reporting. They pair strong SQL/Python workflow automation with practical stakeholder enablement, and cite measurable impact including cutting reporting time from 72 hours to 15 minutes and helping drive $450K in quarterly fuel savings.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in web apps, automation, and cloud systems

Louisville, KY2y exp

“Engineer with hands-on experience owning end-to-end industrial automation deployments and real-time data systems. Most notably led a multi-million dollar warehouse automation implementation that reduced manual intervention by 25%, while also building streaming text analytics pipelines and strengthening production reliability through robust observability and pipeline controls.”

“Backend engineer with deep Kafka/FastAPI microservices experience who redesigned a notification pipeline to cut end-to-end latency from ~5s to ~3s (including custom partition assignment and consumer tuning). Led a high-stakes ClickUp-to-Oracle migration of 1M+ records using idempotent ETL, reconciliation, and shadow deployment to achieve >99% integrity with zero downtime, and has hands-on production security implementation with Django/DRF (JWT + RBAC).”

“Backend engineer who rebuilt and refactored high-traffic systems at Phenom using Java/Spring Boot/Play and also designs Python/FastAPI services. Focused on measurable reliability and performance gains through DB/query optimization, async processing, and strong observability, with disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, parallel runs, rollback) and security patterns including token auth and row-level security.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-assisted recommendation and insights platform that unifies structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data via a modular ingestion pipeline, canonical schemas, embeddings, and late-fusion modeling. Experienced in operationalizing ML/LLM systems with Airflow and Kubernetes (Dockerized services, autoscaling, rolling updates) and emphasizes reliability through layered testing, guardrails, monitoring, and A/B experimentation while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders.”

“Data/ML practitioner who has built a production RAG-based knowledge assistant integrated into Microsoft 365/internal dashboards to help employees query internal documents in plain English. Experienced orchestrating and hardening ETL pipelines with Airflow and Azure Data Factory (validation, retries, monitoring) and running end-to-end model evaluation and production performance tracking via Power BI.”

“Enterprise Customer Success/implementation leader in fintech (Optimus) specializing in payment reconciliation platforms, complex integrations (API/SFTP), and data normalization across processors/banks/ERPs. Demonstrated measurable impact (60–70% reduction in manual reconciliation) and strong cross-functional/product influence, including roadmap improvements for exception management and successful land-and-expand into fee management.”

“Data/ML platform engineer with ~6 years in financial services and enterprise data platforms, building regulated fraud/credit-risk pipelines on AWS (Airflow, EMR/Spark, MLflow) and an Azure lakehouse ingesting 50+ sources and serving ~100M records/day. Also led an early-stage deployment of a RAG-based internal AI search tool using AWS Bedrock and LangChain with automated evaluation to validate LLM accuracy.”
