Vetted Database Schema Design Professionals

“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.”

“Backend engineer who evolved and migrated a real-time smartwatch telemetry ingestion/analytics platform in a healthcare context, focusing on reliability under poor network conditions. Experienced with Python/FastAPI and Java microservices, PostgreSQL performance tuning, and production-grade security (JWT/OAuth, RBAC, RLS) with incremental rollout and parallel-run migration strategies.”

“Full-stack engineer at an early-stage EdTech startup building an AI-tutoring product; owns most of a Django REST backend, CI/CD, and key customer-facing features like FERPA-compliant auth, subscription payments, and real-time LaTeX input/rendering. Also built a /rPlace-style real-time multiplayer canvas (PolyPlace) using microservices, WebSockets, and event sourcing, with performance-focused client rendering (zoom/pan/viewport-based updates) and stress testing.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, cloud, and applied LLM/NLP

IN, USA4y exp

“Applied LLMs to classify long nonprofit mission statements into 8 segments without labeled data, using an ensemble of clustering/embedding methods plus zero-shot RoBERTa/BART and a Tree-of-Thought prompting pipeline with LLM-as-judge evaluation (Gemma). Also built LangChain/LlamaIndex agentic RAG workflows including a text-to-SQL data analysis assistant grounded on DB schema with retries and performance optimizations on an HPC cluster.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in web platforms and cloud-based systems

Boulder, CO1y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on document extraction experience: built an end-to-end handwritten OCR pipeline using OpenCV + EasyOCR with spellcheck post-processing and a Tkinter-based manual correction workflow. Also brings practical distributed-systems and e-commerce reliability experience (REST orchestration, retries, logging, Stripe idempotency), and is candid about not yet shipping LLM agents to production.”

“Backend engineer who built a production retrieval-augmented narrative analysis platform for 100-page screenplays using a Node/Express orchestrator and a Python/FastAPI AI engine, including a key redesign from disk-based uploads to in-memory streaming to eliminate Windows file-lock failures. Also led a refactor of a municipal vehicle tracking system into a C-based distributed engine handling 4M+ daily packets with 99.99% data integrity and automation that reduced manual ops by 50%.”

“Frontend engineer who has led customer-facing React + TypeScript products end-to-end, building complex dashboards with robust async state patterns (caching, deduping, cancellation, optimistic updates) and strong quality practices (TypeScript standards, layered testing, production monitoring). Experienced modernizing inherited codebases through modularization and performance work (code splitting/memoization) while aligning stakeholders and shipping safely via feature flags and staged rollouts.”

Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in web platforms and real-time systems

Toronto, ON2y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built a real-estate professional marketplace platform (Maison) end-to-end as the sole engineer, including a multi-portal Next.js/React architecture, real-time WebSocket collaboration, Prisma/Postgres data modeling, and Stripe subscription billing. Also modernized a government disability case-management system from legacy VB.NET to an Angular + Spring Boot web app, citing measurable performance and workflow improvements.”
