Mid-level Backend Engineer specializing in Python microservices and scalable systems

Jersey City, NJ4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience shipping both secure platform features and production AI systems. They combine React/TypeScript, Flask/Node.js, and PostgreSQL fundamentals with practical LLM and NLP implementation, including retrieval, schema-validated outputs, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop safeguards. Notable impact includes cutting manual review by 40% and reducing post-update error rates by over 20%.”

“Backend engineer focused on Java/Spring Boot microservices, workforce scheduling APIs, and event-driven systems. He uses AI tools pragmatically—roughly 25-30% assistance for scaffolding and optimization—while keeping architecture, debugging, testing, and final decisions under tight manual control. Strong on reliability and observability, with hands-on experience in Kafka-based workflows, distributed tracing, and evaluating agent frameworks like LangChain against production needs.”

“LLM/agent engineer with production experience in the insurance claims domain, integrating OpenAI + LangChain into a claims platform to automate unstructured document extraction/classification and cut manual effort by 35%. Built reliable, fault-tolerant AWS/Kubernetes microservices with CloudWatch monitoring plus circuit breakers/retries/fallbacks, and implemented multi-step Spring Boot orchestration with schema validation, confidence gating, and human-in-the-loop handling for low-confidence cases.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Java Developer specializing in cloud-native microservices and React

San Francisco, CA5y exp

“Full-stack engineer who has owned customer-facing analytics and dashboard products end-to-end using TypeScript/React with Spring Boot microservices. Strong in scaling and stabilizing distributed systems (RabbitMQ, DLQs/retries, observability with correlation IDs) and in building internal tooling that consolidates ELK/CloudWatch signals to speed up support and operations; reported ~30% performance improvement on a recent dashboard.”

“Former founding engineer and eventual CTO at 2Plus2 Partners (25 years ago) with additional experience in two private-equity-backed companies (apex analytix and HICX). Interested in helping build another company before retirement; comfortable with entrepreneurial risk but cannot self-fund significant capital.”

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in GenAI and cloud platforms

Colorado Springs, CO10y exp

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on experience turning research-style RAG concepts into production underwriting systems at Prudential Financial. Built an internal document intelligence assistant end-to-end with strong monitoring, safety, and evaluation practices, driving a 38% faster review process and 31% better retrieval accuracy. Also improved platform engineering at VivSoft by standardizing Python-based ML deployment across 60+ models.”

Junior Backend and ML Engineer specializing in distributed systems and LLM infrastructure

San Jose, CA2y exp

“Backend engineer with strong ownership across authentication, API infrastructure, and AI-powered document workflows. They built and operated a production auth microservice supporting 10,000+ users with measurable latency and security improvements, and also shipped hackathon and applied-AI systems including legal document and medical document retrieval/Q&A products.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of Spring Boot microservice deployments in Freddie Mac's mortgage workflow domain, including measurable gains in reliability and MTTR. Brings strong production debugging skills around distributed transaction pipelines and has also built a full-stack AI chatbot project using React, Express, and Google Gemini API.”

“Backend engineer with experience at HSBC and Machinations who has delivered major production performance wins (cutting large trade-file upload times from ~13–15s to ~2s) using chunked parallel processing with strong reliability controls. Also built and shipped an applied AI RAG workflow using Langflow + Cohere embeddings + FAISS with hosted/local LLM fallbacks (Hugging Face, Ollama) and production-grade guardrails, observability, and evaluation.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in distributed cloud-native FinTech systems

Texas, USA5y exp

“Full-stack/backend engineer with deep experience building real-time fraud and credit-risk systems. Shipped an event-driven fraud monitoring platform (Kafka→MongoDB/Redis→WebSockets) delivering sub-200ms updates to 3000+ concurrent internal users, and built a Java/Spring Boot credit risk decisioning API that improved turnaround time by 30–40%. Strong AWS production operations (ECS Fargate/RDS/Redis) with proven incident response and performance tuning.”

“Full-stack engineer focused on fintech risk and fraud products, with hands-on experience building React/TypeScript dashboards and Spring Boot microservices backed by PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. Has also contributed to AI-driven fraud detection workflows using AWS Bedrock, with a strong emphasis on production reliability, analyst usability, and measurable quality metrics.”

“Built an employee payroll and leave management system end to end at Northwest Missouri State University, owning stakeholder discovery, UI design, frontend implementation, backend APIs, and payroll business logic. Also has experience modernizing legacy transaction processing with an incremental migration approach from COBOL-based batch systems to Spring Boot services.”

“Backend-focused engineer with production experience across finance and healthcare, currently building real-time payment microservices at JPMorgan Chase handling 3M+ transactions daily and 100k TPS peak. Stands out for combining high-scale distributed systems design, measurable database and ETL performance wins, and strong compliance-minded architecture in regulated domains.”

Entry-Level Software Engineer specializing in Java backend and distributed systems

New York, NY

“Built and shipped a production AI mock-interview platform where an LLM “interviewer” generates role-specific questions, runs multi-turn follow-ups, and outputs structured scoring/feedback using RAG. Demonstrates strong production-readiness practices (Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, retries/timeouts, fallback models/templates, schema validation, replay-based debugging) and achieved 99%+ availability with ~40% higher session completion. Also has experience integrating agents with messy SAP/ERP-style data sources using a data middleware layer, cleaning/validation, and idempotent write safeguards.”

“Built an end-to-end GenAI underwriting copilot at TD Bank for complex financial documents, combining RoBERTa-based risk classification with Azure OpenAI RAG to deliver grounded, citation-based insights. Drove a 40-50% reduction in manual underwriting review time and created reusable FastAPI ML services that cut integration effort for other teams by 30-40%.”
