Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and Mortgage systems

Auburn Hills, MI3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with deep AWS serverless and reliability experience in fintech/underwriting systems, including eligibility scoring and dynamic rule deployments. Built and productionized an LLM-powered incident RCA assistant (Bedrock Claude 3 + custom RAG + React) achieving 92% precision and ~75% MTTR reduction, with mature guardrails (evals, drift monitoring, HITL, audit logs) and strong operational rigor (canaries, chaos testing, DLQ remediation).”

Junior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, multimodal ML, and applied machine learning

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Software engineer with a disciplined, production-minded approach to AI-driven development: uses ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and scoped coding agents to accelerate delivery without giving up architectural judgment. Notably applied a multi-agent workflow on ClinicOps Copilot, using agents for planning, Bedrock/RAG scaffolding, and failure testing while personally owning architecture, grounding quality, and end-to-end review.”

Principal Real-Time 3D Software Engineer specializing in Unity/Unreal simulation and HMI

Dubai, UAE16y exp

“Gameplay-focused Unity developer who prioritizes tight, fair-feeling controls—implemented a custom raycast-based character movement system (avoiding Unity physics) to make platforming more deterministic and difficulty tuning more reliable. Has prototyped multiplayer in both Unity (Photon tic-tac-toe replication prototype) and Unreal Engine (shared workshop/crafting environment), and actively uses AI tools (Copilot + asset generation) to speed prototyping and documentation.”

“Front-end engineer with strong experience building high-performance browser UIs for financial professionals, especially complex onboarding flows and real-time data dashboards in React. Stands out for combining browser-level performance tuning, asynchronous architecture expertise, and measurable business impact, including 30% faster onboarding and 15% higher client satisfaction; also brings Angular/C#/D3 experience from higher-ed analytics platforms.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and AI platforms

Chicago, IL5y exp

“Senior engineer transitioning into a lead engineer role who is actively overseeing 5 developers and championing an AI-first development culture. Stands out for a highly structured approach to AI-assisted software delivery, including context engineering, phased planning, multi-agent orchestration, and deliberate hallucination mitigation rather than 'vibe coding.'”

“Repeat founder/CTO with hands-on experience raising capital from friends and family, angels, corporate sources, federal grants, private equity, and venture capital. Built a startup in a software business incubator, later sold the company, and went on to serve as an Engineering Manager at the acquirer inside the Plug and Play accelerator ecosystem.”

“Full-stack product engineer who has shipped customer-facing features end-to-end, including a product detail page backed by Java/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript UI. Demonstrated measurable impact through performance and maintainability improvements (30% faster APIs, 25% less duplicated UI code, 40% reduced API complexity via GraphQL) and has operated/scaled apps on AWS with CI/CD, monitoring, and incident-driven scaling fixes.”
