Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI platforms and FinTech

USA3y exp

“Built full-stack and AI-driven products spanning banking KYC modernization and enterprise software testing automation. Particularly strong in productionizing LLM workflows in regulated environments, using deterministic orchestration, RAG, and human-in-the-loop controls to improve test coverage to 80% and reduce QA reporting burden by over 50%.”

“Full-stack/backend engineer with healthcare and enterprise experience: built and secured AWS-hosted services for a clinical EHR product that redacts/transforms hospital patient records for pharma customers (e.g., AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson). At Cisco, led an incremental Ruby-to-Python/Django migration for a compliance backend, and has deep multi-tenant security experience using Postgres RLS tied to JWT plus DLQ patterns to harden data pipelines.”

“Candidate brings an operator-to-founder profile with leadership experience in IT and Business Systems and a strong grasp of how ideas become venture-backable products. They speak fluently about startup evaluation criteria such as TAM, technical defensibility, speed to scale, and AI differentiation, and appear especially motivated by building solutions end-to-end in startup or venture studio environments.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech platforms

Stony Brook, NY6y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built RegArt’s product from 0→1 for enterprise compliance users at clients like HSBC and EY, including the production React frontend, backend APIs, and an LLM-powered search experience. Particularly compelling for startups needing someone who can move across UI, API, and data layers, make pragmatic architecture tradeoffs, and ship fast without over-engineering.”

“Candidate comes from SaaS and healthcare analytics rather than game development, but has strong end-to-end ownership experience building real-time, high-availability systems in Python/AWS. They highlight measurable impact across performance, throughput, uptime, and cost reduction, including queue optimization and predictive ICU utilization pipelines, and are looking to transfer that systems engineering foundation into Unity/gameplay work.”

“SDE who worked on an MGICS Lab robotics project building a multi-agent model to help agents understand tasks and generate robot instructions, emphasizing task-splitting, checking, and a reflection agent to improve accuracy. Also has experience using GitHub with automated CI/CD pipelines.”

“Backend engineer who built a serverless AWS Lambda microservices backend for a parenting assistance mobile app, including a personalized recommendation system optimized to sub-500ms via precomputed scoring and DynamoDB caching. Demonstrates strong production pragmatism: CloudWatch-driven performance tuning (provisioned concurrency), zero-downtime phased schema migrations, and robustness patterns like optimistic locking and request deduplication. Also led a refactor of an LLM RAG pipeline to improve retrieval quality and cut latency from ~5s to ~3s.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered multi-agent compliance copilot (life sciences/finance) using LangChain/LangGraph + RAG over vector databases, delivered via async FastAPI on Kubernetes. Emphasizes audit-ready, deterministic outputs with schema constraints and citations, plus rigorous evaluation/monitoring; reports 60%+ reduction in manual research time and successful production adoption.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built a resume processing and job application platform using Python/MongoDB/Streamlit, including OpenAI-powered skill/keyword extraction and recruiter-facing search/filtering. Has hands-on cloud deployment experience on AWS/Azure and executed an on-prem reservation portal migration to Azure using a phased trial-and-cutover approach; also automated CI/CD with Jenkins and GitHub Actions.”

“LLM/agent workflow engineer with healthcare experience (CVS/CBS Health) who built and deployed a production call-insights platform using Azure OpenAI + LangChain/LangGraph, including sentiment and compliance checks. Demonstrates deep HIPAA/PHI handling (tenant-contained processing, redaction, RBAC/encryption/audit logging) and production rigor (testing, eval sets, validation/retries, autoscaling) to scale to thousands of transcripts.”

“Built and deployed a production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform in a healthcare setting to automate clinical documentation review and summarization, targeting near-real-time, explainable outputs. Emphasizes grounded generation to reduce hallucinations, latency optimizations (chunking/embedding reuse), and PHI-safe workflows with access controls, plus strong orchestration experience using Apache Airflow.”

“Built and productionized a telecom-focused RAG assistant by LoRA fine-tuning LLaMA-2 and integrating LangChain+FAISS behind a FastAPI service, with dashboards and a human feedback UI for engineers. Demonstrated measurable impact (≈40% faster document lookup, +8–10% retrieval precision) and strong MLOps rigor via Airflow orchestration, CI/CD, and monitoring for drift and failures.”

“Built a production GenAI-powered analytics assistant to reduce reliance on data analysts by enabling natural-language Q&A over Databricks/Power BI dashboards, backed by vector search (Pinecone/Milvus) and a Neo4j knowledge graph, including multimodal support via OpenAI Vision. Demonstrates strong real-world LLM reliability engineering with strict RAG, LangGraph multi-step verification, and Guardrails/custom validators, plus broad orchestration and production monitoring experience (Airflow, ADF, Step Functions, Kubernetes, Prometheus/CloudWatch).”

“ML/NLP engineer currently working in NYC on a system that connects complex unstructured data sources to deliver personalized insights, using embeddings + vector DB retrieval and a RAG architecture (LangChain, Pinecone/OpenSearch). Strong focus on production constraints—especially low-latency retrieval—using FAISS/ANN, PCA, index partitioning, and Redis caching, plus PEFT fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) and KPI/SLA-driven promotion to production.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer building complex internal platforms and customer-facing demos at the intersection of infrastructure and product. Shipped a no-code Product Lifecycle Manager for manufacturing (3 manufacturers, 1000+ evolving tests) using AWS S3/SQS ingestion and extensible Postgres (EAV+JSONB) with end-to-end traceability. Also built a FastAPI-based company data intelligence platform with Okta-secured RBAC and an LLM/MCP layer for ChatGPT-like analytics over enterprise data sources.”

“Built and shipped a real-time oncology risk prediction system used by doctors during patient visits, trained on clinical data in AWS SageMaker and deployed via FastAPI with sub-second responses.
