Vetted Distributed Systems Professionals

“Backend-focused engineer with experience spanning research and healthcare: owned a Python/SQL data pipeline that transformed vulnerability-fix code data from SQLite into model-ready JSON for LLM analysis. Also deployed Dockerized Spring Boot microservices to Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and built Kafka-based real-time event streaming (appointment/report events) with idempotent consumers to avoid duplicate processing.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of production systems, including a Kafka-based notification/alerting platform (Node.js + React) deployed on AWS with Docker/GitHub Actions, achieving ~95% email delivery reliability. Demonstrates strong operational maturity (observability, CI/CD, zero-downtime migrations) and experience shipping in ambiguous environments (SJSU project) with evolving requirements.”

Intern Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in web apps and healthcare APIs

1y exp

“Full-stack developer who built an end-to-end e-commerce application with admin/blog/announcement features using Node/Express and AWS S3, emphasizing security via expiring presigned URLs. Also has strong distributed-systems fundamentals from implementing the Raft consensus algorithm (replication logs, majority acks, leader elections) and has created build automation tools (GNU Makefiles/scripts) to streamline team workflows.”

Entry-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision and systems

Buffalo, NY1y exp

“ML-focused builder who has shipped an end-to-end income-class prediction product: built the data pipeline, trained models, deployed via Streamlit with a live UI, and tracked success via accuracy (84%), adoption, and latency. Demonstrates strong practical MLOps instincts (Docker/Streamlit Cloud, logging/monitoring, caching) and data engineering reliability patterns (schema checks, idempotency, retries, backfills) while iterating quickly in ambiguous, solo-project environments.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and real-time systems

Bellevue, WA7y exp

“Full-stack product engineer with a strong real-time systems focus: built and rolled out a WebSocket-based notifications system (with robust reconnect/resync and event ordering protections) that cut update latency to under 200ms. Also owned a workflow automation platform backend in FastAPI (JWT/RBAC, versioned APIs, standardized errors), designed the PostgreSQL schema for workflows/tasks/executions, and operated deployments on AWS ECS Fargate with blue-green CI/CD and performance stabilization via caching and autoscaling.”

Junior AI Full-Stack Engineer specializing in LLM automations and RAG systems

Nashua, NH2y exp

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered customer support assistant using a Python/FastAPI backend with RAG (embeddings + vector search) over internal docs and product/operational data. Instrumented the system with logging/metrics and ran continuous eval loops; post-launch improvements focused on retrieval quality (chunking/ranking) and performance/cost tradeoffs (query classification, caching, validation guardrails).”

“Machine learning lab assistant at Eastern Illinois University who productionized a voice-enabled conversational AI system: redesigned it with RAG, LoRA fine-tuning (including text-to-SQL), and safety guardrails, then deployed a scalable API supporting ~1,000 daily queries. Also partnered with customer-facing teams during a BlueFi internship by building demos/APIs and accelerating releases via Terraform + AWS CI/CD automation.”

“Software engineer with demonstrated production performance wins (37% latency reduction) through SQL optimization, backend API redesign, and disciplined rollout practices (staging, feature flags). Experienced debugging distributed pipeline issues across infrastructure layers (memory pressure and network timeouts) and building AWS-based systems (Lambda + RDS) to handle request spikes, including work on a business-focused chatbot.”

“Backend Python engineer who owned a real-time manufacturing insights streaming service, building FastAPI async microservices with Kafka-style queue buffering, batching/backpressure, and a low-latency snapshot store. Led a serverless-to-Kubernetes (EKS) migration at UGenomeAi using GitOps-style GitHub Actions pipelines, standardized config/secrets, and improved deployment consistency with pinned dependencies and multi-stage Docker builds.”

“Full-stack system analyst/programmer at PeakPlay Sports (startup) who built an AI "coach" product end-to-end in ~2 months, using a LangGraph-orchestrated multi-agent architecture with a FastAPI backend. Shipped production RAG grounded in athlete history (OpenAI embeddings + vector store) with guardrails and a structured eval loop (golden set + LLM-judge + human review) to improve engagement and reduce hallucinations.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on reliability in real-time sensor pipelines and ROS/ROS2 integration, with hands-on experience hardening systems against noisy data, dropouts, and network variability. Uses ROS introspection tools plus simulation (Gazebo/Webots) to diagnose latency and stability issues before hardware deployment, and supports repeatable rollouts via Docker and CI/CD.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in AI-powered SaaS

United States, USA1y exp

“Worked on an AI-adjacent search/results product with a React front end and an API-driven backend, focusing on scalability and performance. Emphasizes decoupled JSON API architecture, React rendering optimizations (useMemo/useCallback), and large-dataset techniques like virtualization, plus strong user-issue triage via log analysis and edge-case fixes in query handling/ranking.”

“Python backend developer from Larix Technologies who built and scaled microservice APIs for an omnichannel messaging SaaS (WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook) and led production performance fixes during peak traffic, cutting webhook latency ~50%. Also shipped applied AI products end-to-end: a RAG-based PDF assistant (LangChain + Mixtral via Groq + React) and a BI agent that plans/executes/verifies multi-step analytics with strong guardrails and auditability.”
