Vetted Error Handling Professionals

“Backend-focused engineer who uses AI pragmatically as a force multiplier rather than a substitute for engineering judgment. They stand out for applying structured, agent-style workflows to code generation, debugging, and production log analysis while maintaining strong emphasis on correctness, performance, and reliability in backend and microservices environments.”

“Data engineer with experience at Moderna and Block owning high-volume (≈10TB/day) production pipelines on AWS, using Kafka/S3/Glue/dbt/Snowflake with strong data quality and observability practices (schema validation, anomaly detection, CloudWatch monitoring). Also built external financial API ingestion with Airflow retries, throttling/token rotation, and schema versioning, and helped stand up an early-stage biomedical data platform with CI/CD and incident debugging.”

Mid-level Generative AI Engineer specializing in RAG, agentic copilots, and regulated AI

5y exp

“Senior engineer who built and productionized an Azure-based Enterprise AI Copilot for financial/compliance teams, focused on grounded, auditable answers with citations to reduce hallucinations in regulated workflows. Experienced designing multi-step agent orchestration and improving reliability through targeted iterations (e.g., fixing chunking/parsing to materially improve citation accuracy), plus building defensive pipelines for messy ERP/operational finance data.”

“Built an AI-powered job outreach application for his own job search and took it from idea to production use, owning architecture, FastAPI backend, retrieval/generation pipeline, frontend workflow, deployment, and iteration. Especially compelling for teams needing a pragmatic full-stack engineer who can turn LLM-based product ideas into usable, maintainable tools with measurable workflow impact.”

“Data/pipeline engineer with experience in space and scientific data systems, including JPL-related satellite transmission workflows and customer deployments involving NOAA/Argo standards. Stands out for building autonomous production pipelines, debugging subtle logic failures in data integrations, and improving processing efficiency while reducing manual operational work.”

“Full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience who built real-time data visualization and analytics systems at Uber, spanning React/TypeScript frontends, Node/GraphQL services, Kafka pipelines, and PostgreSQL. Particularly compelling for teams needing a hands-on builder who can turn ambiguous customer needs into scalable products, and who has also applied RAG with LangChain/OpenAI over 1.8M support files to surface actionable insights.”

Junior Game Developer specializing in Unity, VR/AR, and AI-driven gameplay

Arlington, VA3y exp

“Unity gameplay engineer with distinctive experience building AI-native game systems, including the backend NPC interaction architecture for AI2U, a generative AI escape room game. They combine Unity/C# gameplay engineering with backend API integration, prompt-driven NPC behavior design, and production-minded resilience for latency and server issues, plus shipped Android AR work using Vuforia.”

“LLM/agentic workflow practitioner (Continuum AI) who productionized an LLM system for manufacturing RMA intake and warranty claims by moving from a brittle prompt to a modular pipeline with RAG, function-calling extraction, deterministic validation, and strong observability. Also diagnosed and fixed an agentic ticket-triage misrouting issue by tracing failures to retrieval timeouts, adding guardrails/fallbacks, and implementing retries plus continuous evaluation—bringing misroutes near zero while creating a repeatable debugging playbook.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based multi-agent chatbot during an internship to help consultants answer client questions and guide users through new IT systems with step-by-step instructions. Demonstrates hands-on experience with LangGraph/LangChain/Google ADK, unstructured document parsing and chunking for RAG, and a reliability-first approach to agent workflows (metrics, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop, guardrails).”

Mid-level Technical Consultant specializing in cloud infrastructure and enterprise automation

Clinton, NJ7y exp

“AI/LLM engineer focused on production-grade agent systems in high-stakes workflows, including a tax modernization initiative that automated tax form generation for 50,000 users. Demonstrates strong depth in reliability engineering, evaluation loops, and safe orchestration, with quantified improvements including pass-through gains from 62% to 94%, 30% lower token cost, and accuracy improvement from 88% to 99%.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience building Flask REST APIs (auth, CRUD, S3 media uploads) and driving measurable Postgres/SQLAlchemy performance gains (p95 reduced to 200–400ms by eliminating N+1s and switching to keyset pagination). Implemented multi-tenant isolation with strict tenant scoping plus Postgres RLS, and built an OpenAI-powered quiz generation pipeline using queued workers, structured JSON outputs, and Celery/Redis optimizations to stabilize high-throughput workloads.”

“Cloud infrastructure/product engineer with end-to-end ownership of cloud-native storage/observability products, including taking an internal CMS to Google Cloud Marketplace and scaling to ~40,000 deployments. Strong in Kubernetes-based platforms (Operators, microservices, RabbitMQ) and performance/scalability work (e.g., 200% cluster capacity increase) plus internal tooling that materially improved SRE/QA debugging and release velocity.”

“Data/analytics professional with experience across manufacturing and enterprise environments (Wisconsin School of Business project with CNH Industrial; roles/projects at Ascensia Technologies, S&C, and Adobe). Has hands-on work combining warranty/lifecycle tables with technician free-text notes using TF-IDF + tree models (XGBoost/Random Forest), and deep experience in entity resolution/reconciliation across mismatched financial systems using Python/SQL and fuzzy matching, with production-grade pipeline practices in Azure Data Factory/Databricks.”

“Full-stack engineer with Cisco supply-chain and Wipro internal platform experience, focused on customer-facing UI performance and secure backend services. Built a bulk Excel inventory upload feature (Spring Boot/Apache POI) that cut manual effort ~80%, and delivered high-scale Angular/React dashboards with strong reliability/observability (FastAPI, JWT, Docker, AWS, AppDynamics).”
