Vetted Git Professionals

“Worked on an AWS DynamoDB Journal team project building internal operator dashboards end-to-end, creating Java/Spring Boot APIs and integrating them into a Spring Boot/Thymeleaf/JavaScript UI to speed up debugging workflows. Has experience with data-heavy web apps and performance techniques (load balancing, caching, pagination, compression) plus hands-on debugging across unit/integration/E2E tests; also maintained and enhanced a React website at Global Spark.”

“LLM/agentic systems practitioner who partners directly with customers to productionize prototypes end-to-end—defining business-aligned metrics, building evaluation datasets, and shipping monitored, cost-bounded inference APIs on AWS Lambda. Notably delivered a vehicle damage classification system that cut manual review by 40% and stabilized agent workflows by instrumenting state transitions to uncover and fix a race-condition-driven skipped tool call.”

“ML/LLM engineer who built and shipped an LLM-powered internal knowledge assistant at Meta, focusing on production-grade RAG to reduce hallucinations and improve trust. Deep experience with scaling and serving (FSDP/DeepSpeed/LoRA, Triton, Kubernetes autoscaling) and reliability practices (Airflow retraining, MLflow versioning, monitoring with rollback), including sub-100ms latency and ~35% GPU memory reduction.”

“ML/NLP engineer with experience at NVIDIA and Cruise building production-grade AI systems across genomics/biomedical research and autonomous vehicle data. Has delivered multimodal LLM pipelines, large-scale entity resolution, and hybrid semantic search (BERT embeddings + FAISS + Elasticsearch), with measurable impact (≈40% accuracy/retrieval gains; ≈30% data consistency improvement) and strong MLOps practices (Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLflow, Prometheus/Grafana).”

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in TypeScript, React, and Node.js

Menlo Park, CA7y exp

“Meta engineer who owned a heavily used internal goals/performance management feature end-to-end, driving major responsiveness improvements by restructuring frontend data loading and adding backend caching (Memcached), cache warmups, and query/index tuning. Strong focus on production quality: observability, error monitoring, and improving test coverage to prevent regressions during peak review cycles.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Uber building a near real-time driver rewards service on AWS (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis) with strong reliability and concurrency controls. Also delivered AWS Lambda/ECS containerized deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD and cost governance, built AWS Glue ETL with schema-evolution handling, and drove a ~10x SQL performance improvement while owning incident response via CloudWatch.”

Mid-level Robotics & Automation Engineer specializing in PLC controls and ROS 2 systems

San Jose, CA4y exp

“Masters capstone lead for a search-and-rescue rover that maps earthquake-affected environments using ROS2, SLAM (Cartographer), Nav2, and computer vision (OpenCV/ArUco). Served as both project manager and systems/architecture integrator, debugging IMU-driven navigation issues via RViz and implementing an A*-based planning workaround; also designed a supervisor/robot-side architecture to scale toward multi-robot coordination.”

“NVIDIA engineer who built and shipped a production LLM-powered enterprise knowledge system (summarization, transcription, and Q&A) that cut document retrieval time ~30%. Deep hands-on experience with RAG (FAISS/Pinecone), GPU-accelerated microservices on AWS, and reliability/safety practices (Guardrails AI, prompt A/B testing, canary releases) plus strong MLOps orchestration across Airflow, Step Functions, and Kubernetes GitOps.”

Entry-Level Firmware Engineer specializing in embedded–cloud systems

New York, NY2y exp

“Backend engineer at Samsara with prior Amazon internship experience; built an internal Python chatbot for documentation discovery with a full security model (authn/authz and credential-based response filtering) in a sensitive environment. Currently works on dashcam/device-backend systems, including feature-flagged migrations for audio alert behavior and resilient real-time gRPC streaming under unreliable cellular connectivity, while actively monitoring Buildkite/Toolshed CI/CD rollouts.”

Staff/Tech Lead Software Engineer specializing in identity, data platforms, and cloud systems

Fremont, CA20y exp

“Engineering leader/player-coach who built and owned end-to-end sales-facing data products, including a 360° advertiser insights platform and a sales AI agent for natural-language access to insights. Demonstrated strong architecture and reliability chops (event-driven redesign to eliminate Hive-query throttling; batching/caching to reduce fan-out) plus incident ownership around ads attribution consistency. Also has 0→1 experience building graph-based recommendation/matching systems with explainability and tight user feedback loops.”

Diego Leyton

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AR/VR, metaverse, and game development

Menlo Park, CA14y exp

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer from Horizon Worlds with deep experience shipping multiplayer VR and mobile features, especially scalable real-time animation and object interaction systems. Stands out for redesigning a high-overhead RPC-based animation pipeline into a deterministic client-side playback architecture that reduced network load, improved stability in complex worlds, and enabled previously unpublishable worlds to ship.”
