Vetted Firebase Professionals

“Unity/C# engineer with hands-on experience building cross-platform VR/mobile prototypes at Verizon Labs, including a networked VR cinema and virtual office application. Particularly strong in performance engineering: they describe custom update architecture, shader work, and low-level iOS optimization that enabled 60 FPS while rendering HD video textures and running voice chat simultaneously. They also bring adjacent computer vision integration experience from Nomad-Go, with a practical focus on latency, inference/render separation, and data consistency.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-driven document verification workflow for a construction firm’s submittals process, moving from a Vercel/Next.js prototype to a FastAPI + LangChain/LangGraph backend with background workers and multi-server deployment. Uses LLM tools (e.g., OpenAI Codex/Cloud Code) for rapid development and log-driven root cause analysis, and partners with customer teams on evaluation metrics and iterative improvements.”

“Healthcare-focused software engineer/lead who has delivered customer-facing portals and internal call-center tools, including rebuilding a legacy Adobe Flash call center app into a modern TypeScript frontend with NgRx state management. Experienced leading onshore/offshore teams, integrating healthcare APIs, and driving adoption by visiting call centers to capture user workflows and bake them into regression testing—work that proved especially valuable during COVID-era shifts to video appointments.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in React, TypeScript, and microservices

3y exp

“Built and productionized an AI agent-based in-app assistant at ISAFE to guide users through document workflows, piloting with a partner school district and then rolling out across districts. Combines hands-on LLM/agent debugging (logs, fallback rates, state/context tracking) with strong technical demos and sales enablement through live workflows and pilot programs (e.g., Osceola School District).”

“Analytics professional with healthcare and operations experience who turns messy enterprise data from platforms like Teradata, GCP, SQL Server, and Snowflake into trusted reporting layers and reproducible analysis workflows. They combine SQL, Python, PySpark, Power BI, and Tableau to improve reporting accuracy and performance, including a 30% dashboard refresh improvement and 20-25% accuracy gains in healthcare reporting.”

“Enterprise-minded builder who has owned complex, high-impact systems from discovery through stabilization, including a customer master data platform at AB InBev serving 2,000 sales reps across 13 countries. Also demonstrates strong AI product instincts, having built a first-place ReAct-style NYC property intelligence agent at IBM's AI Demystified Hackathon, while showing deep rigor in data quality, integrations, and production reliability.”

“Wayfair ML/AI engineer who has shipped and operated production LLM systems for both internal analytics and customer-facing assistants. Stands out for combining strong RAG/retrieval engineering with production-grade platform work—improving trust, reducing latency by ~30%, and cutting ad hoc reporting demand by ~50%.”

“Built Nexthire-AI, shipping an end-to-end LLM-powered resume–job description matching product (React + Node.js) using embeddings and retrieval to generate match scores and skill-gap recommendations. Improved post-launch engagement by making feedback cleaner and more actionable, and added production guardrails (validation, timeouts, fallbacks) to handle messy resume formats and AI API instability.”

“Engineer with a process-driven approach to AI-assisted software development, focused on orchestrating where AI adds value while maintaining human review and verification. Has applied this in backend work such as an S3-based invoice pipeline and used multi-agent workflows to speed up large API refactors across many endpoints.”

“Software engineer with a CS/Computer Engineering background who has worked on ML/NLP (Hugging Face, clinical NLP, text generation and structured extraction) and has a school robotics project integrating a trained ML model with microprocessor-controlled hardware to drive motor movement and writing. Currently focused on building and deploying applications and ML models to AWS/Azure using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD; targeting ~$150K compensation.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who took a PDF-heavy agent from prototype to production for an Africa-based client, combining Pinecone retrieval with robust PDF parsing (unstructured.io, OCR, structured table extraction). Demonstrates strong production mindset (eval metrics, prompt hardening, security/scalability) and measurable optimization impact (30% efficiency gain, 2x faster responses), and has helped close deals by building security-focused POCs for skeptical IT stakeholders.”

“Backend engineer who has delivered large, measurable performance wins (10x throughput, 67% latency reduction) by combining Flask microservices, Redis caching, and AWS autoscaling/observability. Has hands-on depth in SQLAlchemy/Postgres optimization and production scaling pitfalls (cache consistency, connection exhaustion), plus experience deploying real-time ML inference (XGBoost) on AWS Lambda and building secure multi-tenant Kubernetes isolation.”

“AI engineer with hands-on production experience building an end-to-end RAG system that reduced document-answering time from hours to minutes, improving accuracy through chunk overlap and hybrid BM25+semantic retrieval. Also built a LangGraph-based agent that researches company financial news via web search (Google Serper), using Pydantic structured outputs and checkpointing for reliability; experienced collaborating with non-technical stakeholders at JPMC and communicating ROI.”
