Entry-level Software Engineer specializing in backend and cloud systems

New York City, NY1y exp

“Backend engineer who built and scaled a zero-to-one social product backend using Supabase (Postgres, Edge Functions, Auth, Realtime) plus Neo4j for graph-based friend recommendations. Demonstrates strong production rigor: staged rollouts with metrics, incident rollback/postmortems, and complex schema refactors using expand-contract/dual-write with reconciliation and feature flags. Notably proactive about edge cases like geo-boundary realtime delivery and idempotent retry safety.”

“Frontend-leaning engineer at Exchange Lodge who recently took over an entire system end-to-end after team attrition, expanding into backend and platform ownership. They modernized a JSON-driven UI platform into a TypeScript/Angular microfrontend architecture, reporting an ~85% productivity gain, and also rebuilt documentation and developer workflows into a monorepo with AI-friendly Markdown and Mermaid diagrams.”

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 a production RAG chatbot for Worcester Polytechnic Institute that indexes 500+ webpages using FAISS + Llama 3, with strong grounding/hallucination controls (confidence thresholds and citations). Also has internship experience orchestrating multi-step ETL pipelines with AWS Step Functions and delivered a 30x faster fraud/claims triage workflow at Munich Re using association rules and stakeholder-friendly dashboards.”

“New grad focused on AI systems and agent-based development, with hands-on experience using LLMs as a coding partner and building RAG-based document processing workflows. Stands out for practical experimentation with semantic chunking, retrieval optimization, and multi-agent architectures, including redesigning a RAG workflow by adding a reasoning agent to improve response accuracy and reliability.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across Python/Flask microservices and AWS serverless/data platforms (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Glue/PySpark). Demonstrated strong reliability and operations mindset (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts/circuit breakers, CloudWatch/SNS alerting) and measurable performance wins (SQL report runtime cut from 10 minutes to 30 seconds). Seeking ~$150k base and cannot travel for onsite meetings for the next 5–6 months due to family medical constraints.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building a real-time notification API on Flask/Celery/Postgres and scaling it on AWS with Docker, Redis queuing, and SQLAlchemy query optimization. Also delivered AWS serverless deployments (Lambda) using Terraform + GitHub Actions and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines from S3 to Redshift with CloudWatch monitoring and DataBrew data quality checks.”

Senior Full-Stack Developer specializing in React/React Native and SaaS platforms

Edmonton, AB7y exp

“Frontend engineer who has led end-to-end delivery of a climate-risk visualization/financial impact web platform using micro-frontends (Webpack Module Federation), a shared MUI design system, and React Query server-state to keep independent modules consistent and performant. Also improved a complex rules-heavy document editor (Crove.app) by eliminating input lag with memoization + Web Workers and introducing a headless rendering engine reused across products, with disciplined rollout via feature flags and Sentry monitoring.”

“Application-focused software engineer working on AI-heavy products, with hands-on experience building end-to-end document processing, retrieval, and configurable workflow systems. Particularly strong in combining React/TypeScript UX, FastAPI/Postgres backend design, and LLM workflow reliability improvements through validation, prompt iteration, and reusable abstractions.”

“Full-stack and AI engineer who has built both user-facing products and production LLM systems, including an AI log-classification and incident-triage platform that cut manual triage by 60%+ and improved routing accuracy by 35%. Also brings cross-functional systems experience from an AI-driven digital twin project spanning HPC, Unity, AR, and large-scale simulation visualization.”

“Senior frontend engineer who led end-to-end delivery of a large ecommerce platform at Foschini Group and built a complex healthcare operations dashboard for UK-based Ceracare. Strong in React/TypeScript/Next.js architecture, design systems, and performance at scale, with a pragmatic approach to state management (React Query/Redux) and quality (Storybook + testing + code reviews).”
