Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and Mortgage systems

Auburn Hills, MI3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with deep AWS serverless and reliability experience in fintech/underwriting systems, including eligibility scoring and dynamic rule deployments. Built and productionized an LLM-powered incident RCA assistant (Bedrock Claude 3 + custom RAG + React) achieving 92% precision and ~75% MTTR reduction, with mature guardrails (evals, drift monitoring, HITL, audit logs) and strong operational rigor (canaries, chaos testing, DLQ remediation).”

Mark Wlodawski

Senior Unity Developer specializing in AI/LLM systems and multiplayer VR

Orlando, FL11y exp

“Backend/data engineer focused on AWS-native Python systems: built a FastAPI microservice on ECS/Fargate serving real-time analytics at millions of daily requests with strong reliability (OAuth2/JWT, retries/timeouts, correlation IDs) and autoscaling. Also delivered Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines to curated S3 Parquet/Athena with schema evolution + data quality controls, owned Airflow pipeline incidents, and has a track record of measurable performance and cost optimizations (e.g., ~80%+ query latency reduction; reduced logging/NAT/Fargate spend).”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered RAG knowledge system to unify operational/policy information across PDFs, wikis, and databases, emphasizing auditability and low-latency/cost performance. Improved answer relevance at scale by moving from pure vector search to hybrid retrieval with metadata filtering and reranking, and partnered closely with healthcare operations/compliance to define acceptance criteria and human-in-the-loop guardrails.”

“Candidate has hands-on experience at Cognizant building production-grade automation and integration solutions across Python ML services, Java microservices, Kafka, and Selenium-based UI testing. They stand out for a strong reliability mindset—covering failure modes, observability, flaky test hardening, and translating ambiguous payment-system business processes into resilient end-to-end automated workflows.”

“Group CTO at Airobod who combines executive-level engineering leadership with hands-on technical depth across architecture, cloud, performance debugging, and AI-enabled platforms. He has led platform modernization, scaled engineering organizations in high-growth environments, and implemented rigorous multi-tenant SaaS architecture with zero cross-tenant data leaks over 12 months.”

“Customer-facing application security/support professional who helps teams operationalize SAST/DAST/SCA in CI/CD, reduce false positives, and prioritize remediation by business risk. Has hands-on experience troubleshooting intermittent pipeline failures (rate limiting/timeouts under parallel load) using logs/metrics/traces, and driving durable outcomes via runbooks/KB documentation and phased security rollouts across stakeholders.”

Senior Backend/Full-Stack Engineer specializing in data platforms and cloud microservices

Chicago, Illinois7y exp

“Backend engineer who built and shipped an end-to-end AI outreach product (LazyMails) combining a LinkedIn-scraping Chrome extension with a FastAPI/Postgres backend and Gemini-powered email generation, achieving major personal productivity gains. Also has enterprise experience at TCS on Humana’s 500k+ user wellness platform running Kubernetes microservices with Azure DevOps CI/CD, plus Kafka-based real-time eligibility event streaming and GitOps-driven operations.”

“AWS-focused Python backend/data engineer who builds production analytics APIs and ETL pipelines using API Gateway, Lambda, Step Functions, ECS, Glue, S3, and RDS. Strong in operational reliability and performance tuning (including SQL indexing/partitioning) and has modernized legacy SAS statistical processing into validated Python services with phased rollouts and stakeholder sign-off.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning serverless APIs and containerized workers (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS) plus data pipelines (Glue, S3, Athena/Redshift). Has modernized legacy SAS/cron batch systems into Python/AWS with parallel-run parity validation and low-risk cutovers, and has owned ETL incidents end-to-end (CloudWatch detection, backfills, and preventative controls). Targeting $130k–$150k base and strongly prefers remote, with occasional Bethesda onsite acceptable.”

Omar Rahmoun

Senior Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and AI platforms

Chicago, IL5y exp

“Senior engineer transitioning into a lead engineer role who is actively overseeing 5 developers and championing an AI-first development culture. Stands out for a highly structured approach to AI-assisted software delivery, including context engineering, phased planning, multi-agent orchestration, and deliberate hallucination mitigation rather than 'vibe coding.'”

Tarun Gowda

Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI and multimodal RAG

Morristown, NJ3y exp

“Full-stack engineer who helped build and launch an internal genAI platform called GAIL, supporting multiple LLMs, confidential document upload for RAG pipelines, and collaborative chat. Worked across FastAPI, React/TypeScript, AWS/DynamoDB, and Azure, with notable ownership of backend RAG logic, MCP integration architecture, and frontend fixes that improved chat usability.”
