Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in data engineering and cloud platforms

Bentonville, AR3y exp

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who has shipped production-critical data/reporting features at Walmart and built an end-to-end workflow automation product (FastAPI + React/TypeScript + PostgreSQL) deployed on AWS. Strong in performance/reliability engineering (parallel ETL, batch DB operations, indexing via EXPLAIN ANALYZE), secure API design (JWT/RBAC), and pragmatic incident-driven scaling (separating workers from API layer).”

Mid-level QA Automation Engineer (SDET) specializing in API and test automation

Los Alamitos, CA4y exp

“QA automation engineer who owns and modernizes end-to-end test automation across Selenium (Java) and Cypress (JavaScript), integrating suites into GitLab CI/CD with PR gating, nightly runs, and Sauce Labs reporting/recordings. Demonstrated impact by catching a session-timeout workflow issue in CI that manual testing missed and by reducing flakiness through stack upgrades, coding standards, and API-synchronized assertions.”

“Software developer with hands-on experience refactoring a legacy .NET CMS into a newer API-driven application (ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript/HTML), including dynamic asset migration and resolving team merge conflicts in Bitbucket. Built automated tests with PyTest and used Postman for API validation, and leveraged Splunk for production issue detection; also worked on an end-to-end ticketing/workflow management project with prioritization and verification steps.”

“Built and shipped production LLM agents including an AI patient appointment assistant for Kyron Medical that automated specialist matching and end-to-end booking with email/SMS confirmations and a voice mode. Strong focus on production reliability (double-booking prevention with DB constraints and pre-write checks), deterministic multi-step orchestration with LangGraph, and rigorous monitoring/evaluation using LangSmith trace replay for prompt regression testing.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer with strong multiplayer systems experience, including shipping a DarkRift-based server-authoritative architecture with prediction/reconciliation and measurable gains: frame time improved from ~30ms to 18ms and packet sizes dropped by roughly 40%. Also brings practical thinking around AI-assisted content tooling, using async service layers, JSON pipelines, and validation rules to support designers without disrupting production workflows.”

“Engineering leader who grew from Lead Developer to CTO at Clips4Sale, scaling the org to around 30 people while restructuring engineering around revenue-driving initiatives like search, payments, reliability, and creator tools. Also built AI-powered event discovery and chatbot systems at FOSH using Claude, combining human feedback, prompt evaluation, and product simplification to improve output quality and user experience.”
