Engineering Manager specializing in payments, risk, and high-scale distributed systems

San Jose, CA14y exp

“Engineering leader/player-coach on a risk core transaction platform (payments/branded checkout) who led major migrations from a monolithic stack to microservices, including API contract redesign and performance improvements (reported ~500ms latency reduction). Experienced running high-stakes production incidents (upgrade-related outage/degradation) end-to-end with RCA and rollout-process changes, and has accelerated delivery via documentation/tooling (audit sign-off cycle reduced from ~3 sprints to ~1).”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in game platforms and player-facing systems

Brier, WA27y exp

“Senior engineer with a rare mix of game-platform and mobile content-delivery experience: helped ship the Xbox 360 Party system and later architected the custom multi-catalog asset pipeline behind Netflix Stories. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can design scalable, low-memory, high-stability systems for live content across many titles and external partners.”

“Software engineering intern who built an internal AI-agent automation using the Gemini API to reduce manual CRM data entry, iterating prompts closely with analysts to address precision concerns. Also worked on a medical image-diagnostics LLM project involving fine-tuning and benchmarking multiple model approaches, and has quant/sales-trading experience building automated pricers for complex options and persuading sales teams to adopt them with ROI-focused metrics.”

“Project lead who partners with PM and customers to gather requirements, adjust project plans, and deliver new functionality that drives customer satisfaction and revenue. Has experience building features end-to-end and presenting successful technical demos to engineering and management audiences; no stated experience with LLM/agentic systems.”

“Built and productionized a real-time enterprise RAG pipeline to improve factual accuracy and reduce LLM hallucinations by grounding responses in constantly changing internal knowledge bases (policies, manuals, FAQs). Experienced in orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows (Airflow/Kubernetes), handling messy multi-format data with schema enforcement (Pydantic/Hydra), and maintaining freshness via streaming incremental embeddings plus batch refresh. Also delivers applied ML solutions with non-technical teams (marketing/CRM) for segmentation and personalized engagement.”

“P&G operator who is also building and selling an AI receptionist (voice agent) SaaS for healthcare/service clinics, using EHR + calendar API compatibility to target accounts and letting the Voice AI run parts of the demo to prove value. Has already closed and deployed to two clients in the last two months, with production impact via reduced front-desk overhead and automated scheduling/FAQs, and brings a structured, scalable deployment/process mindset from global WMS rollouts.”

“Built and shipped an end-to-end LLM agent during an AT&T internship to automate network troubleshooting, with production-style reliability safeguards (timeouts/retries/fallbacks) and structured, state-machine orchestration; project won 3rd place in AT&T’s nationwide intern innovation challenge and was demoed to leadership. Also handled messy multi-partner data at Tencent by implementing schema validation/normalization, confidence-threshold fallbacks, and idempotent Python/ORM-based pipelines.”

“Google backend engineer with strong experience in large-scale identity, membership, and access-control systems. Notable work includes reconciling customer IDs across 2B+ roster records and leading a 0-to-1 Drive sharing feature to classify external users as crossover members, with a strong emphasis on correctness, rollout safety, and low-latency service design.”

“Backend engineer who helped redesign and refactor Forma’s backend during an app rewrite, emphasizing modularity, maintainability, and A/B testing support while delivering feature parity on a quarter-long timeline. Led a careful database migration using parallel databases with schema differences, validating integrity via staging and SQL checks, and has experience debugging subtle computer-vision overflow edge cases.”

“Intel veteran who applied multiple linear regression and time-series drift analysis to semiconductor lithography overlay/metrology data, feeding model outputs into automated process control. Comfortable working across Python, VBA, and JMP/JSL, with a pragmatic approach to validation (RMSE + trend visualization) and data quality via close coordination with measurement/metrology teams.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in data engineering and computer vision

Bellevue, WA1y exp

“Former Amazon intern who owned an end-to-end computer vision system to detect package anomalies in fulfillment centers, from data collection/labeling to production deployment on AWS (EC2/S3) with a Streamlit live-monitoring dashboard. Also has ML-in-production experience deploying and updating a recommendation model on Kubernetes (Minikube) with CI/CD via GitHub Actions, plus prior SDE experience with Jenkins-based pipelines and on-prem to AWS migration work using Glue.”

Intern/Junior Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML and cloud-based systems

Mountain View, CA0y exp

“Embedded/robotics software engineer with Hyundai Motors experience who owned an AI-driven perception validation pipeline using a Transformer-based approach to generate stable synthetic in-cabin audio for autonomy/ASR testing, cutting downstream testing time by 50%+. Has hands-on ROS integration (IMU sensor streaming, inference, control nodes), MQTT-based distributed messaging, and cloud/container deployment experience (Docker, Node/Express, AWS, CI/CD).”

“Robotics/ML engineer with internship experience at Valeo building a deep-learning prototype to replace parts of a legacy SLAM backend for autonomous parking, focused on making models run reliably in real time on embedded hardware (quantization/distillation + TensorRT). Also brings strong MLOps/deployment experience (Docker, Kubernetes on AWS EKS, CI via GitHub Actions) and has supported patent filing by explaining the technical approach to legal stakeholders.”

“LLM/Conversational AI engineer who built a production multi-turn dialogue system using LoRA fine-tuning on LLaMA, cutting training compute/memory by 90%+ while maintaining low-latency inference via quantization and streaming generation. Experienced in orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Prefect/Airflow/Kubeflow (including hyperparameter sweeps and W&B tracking) and improving agent reliability through benchmark-driven testing, shadow-mode rollouts, and stakeholder-informed guardrails.”

“Internship at BlueFoxLabs building and deploying an AI/ML RAG system for a biopharma client on top of LibreChat, including an AWS Textract ingestion pipeline and PGVector retrieval deployed to AWS EKS. Demonstrated production-minded scalability work by moving from a vertically scaled EC2 setup to a horizontally scaling Kubernetes/EKS deployment, using CI/CD to safely incorporate requirement changes like tabular document data.”

“Backend engineer who scaled a food delivery platform by migrating from a single-service architecture to Spring Cloud microservices with an API gateway and Kafka-based event-driven order pipeline. Reported outcomes include ~50% latency reduction, stable ~2K RPS throughput, and 99.8% uptime, with strong emphasis on safe migrations (dual writes, canaries, schema versioning) and security (JWT/RBAC/Postgres RLS).”
