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.'”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned an enterprise Django REST + PostgreSQL reporting backend and built Python ETL pipelines to normalize 3M+ legacy customer records, improving data reliability by 85%. Strong Kubernetes/GitOps practitioner (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with real-world production debugging experience, plus Kafka streaming at 5M events/day and a zero-downtime monolith-to-event-driven microservices migration on AWS that cut infra costs by 42%.”

“Lead developer on a Warner Brothers Discovery media management platform, building Python/Flask APIs and AWS-based workflows. Delivered a serverless search overhaul (Lambda + API Gateway + OpenSearch Serverless) while maintaining parity with legacy Rekognition tag-based search, and implemented event-driven ETL (SNS/SQS) to ingest/validate CSV metadata into PostgreSQL with strong logging and incident response practices.”

“LLM/agentic systems builder who has deployed production solutions for a resource management firm, using an MCP-driven architecture with Neo4j + Elasticsearch and a ChatGPT frontend to generate candidate/company “SmartPacks” and answer entity Q&A. Also built a LangGraph/LangSmith-orchestrated multi-agent workflow that automates data-infra change requests end-to-end (impact analysis, SQL + tests, and PR creation), and delivered a ~60% latency reduction through TTL-based context caching while improving accuracy via a business data dictionary.”

Senior Engineering Manager specializing in AI platforms and cloud-native backend systems

Sunnyvale, CA11y exp

“Player-coach engineering leader who stayed hands-on (coding/reviews) while leading delivery, including designing an event-driven AI workflow engine with explicit state modeling and robust retries. Built near real-time enterprise analytics for campaign measurement and drove reliability/process improvements (observability, incident runbooks, release management). Introduced lightweight CI/CD and automated testing to cut release time by ~40% while maintaining quality.”

“AI/ML engineer who shipped a production blood-test report understanding and personalized supplement recommendation product, using a LangGraph multi-agent pipeline on AWS serverless with OCR via Bedrock and RAG over vetted clinical research. Also built end-to-end recommender system pipelines at ASANTe using Airflow (ingestion, embeddings/features, training, registry, batch scoring/monitoring) with KPI reporting to Tableau, with a strong focus on safety, evaluation, and measurable reliability.”

“Cloud/SRE-style engineer at TDS supporting revenue-critical transportation SaaS platforms on AWS/GCP with Kubernetes. Has hands-on experience leading high-impact production work including DDoS mitigation, zero-downtime MSSQL→PostgreSQL migration using CDC, and building secure GitHub Actions + ArgoCD delivery pipelines and Terraform-based GKE infrastructure.”

“Built and deployed a production AI document Q&A (RAG) platform that lets non-technical users query hundreds of PDFs/Word files, cutting search time from hours to seconds. Experienced with scaling retrieval pipelines (chunking, embeddings, vector search, batching/caching) and orchestrating reliable workflows using AWS Step Functions/Airflow with robust retries, monitoring, and fallbacks.”

Software Engineering Manager specializing in cloud-native mobility and enterprise Java

Amsterdam, The Netherlands15y exp

“Backend/architecture-focused player-coach who designed and built two partner-facing data APIs using a contract-first (OpenAPI) governance model in Java (Quarkus/Spring Boot). Strong in technical standards, incident response, and delivery systems—improved reliability under peak load (DB/index fix) and sped up delivery by streamlining PR/review processes while maintaining production stability.”

“ML/AI engineer with strong healthcare insurance domain depth who has owned fraud detection and LLM claims products end-to-end in production. Stands out for combining modern MLOps and RAG architecture with measurable business impact, including millions in fraud savings, 40% faster analysis, and reusable platform tooling that accelerated multiple teams.”
