“Backend/platform engineer with payments and insurance domain experience (Cognizant), owning high-volume production systems end-to-end. Shipped a Spring Boot payment tokenization service with strong observability and phased migration that cut transaction latency ~30% and improved payment efficiency ~25%. Also productionized an ML-driven financial health/risk analytics pipeline with near real-time dashboards across 70+ schools, emphasizing interpretability, data quality, and drift monitoring.”

“Software engineer with a graphic design/marketing background who led a 4-month U.S. Department of State Diplomacy Lab project delivering a proprietary React/Electron + Flask + PostgreSQL scheduling app, including OKTA SSO integration under strict government confidentiality constraints. Also has hands-on production web experience fixing a broken WordPress/Elementor content system by scripting automated recategorization and date corrections.”

“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.”

“Backend engineer with deep experience modernizing a provider credentialing/compliance platform with multiple upstream/downstream integrations. Focused on building predictable, scalable REST APIs (primarily ASP.NET Core; framework-agnostic approach applicable to FastAPI), improving performance via DB/query optimization, and hardening workflows with idempotency, transactions, feature flags, and strong auth/RBAC patterns.”

“Full-stack engineer focused on data-heavy platforms, building Spring Boot microservices and Angular/React dashboards end-to-end. Has hands-on experience improving large-scale API and UI performance (including cutting 8–10s response times) and ensuring cross-service consistency using Kafka, idempotent consumers, and strong validation/transaction patterns on AWS with CI/CD and observability (Prometheus/ELK).”

“LLM/RAG-focused engineer who repeatedly takes agentic workflows from impressive demos to dependable production using rigorous evals, SLOs, and deep observability. Has led high-impact incident mitigation (22-minute MTTR during a major sale) and developer enablement workshops, and partnered with sales to close a $410k ARR enterprise deal with a tailored RAG pilot (FastAPI/pgvector/Okta/InfoSec-ready).”
