Senior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack enterprise SaaS and digital marketing

Mountain View, CA10y exp

“Atlassian engineer who grew from frontend into full-stack ownership, spanning React/TypeScript UI architecture, backend data pipelines, observability, and Kotlin/Spring Boot integrations. They describe owning Confluence profile-service integration tied to signup growth, plus building a marketing analytics platform with caching, reusable components, and data-quality tooling that increased stakeholder adoption by 30%.”

“Frontend-leaning product engineer who has owned complex, data-heavy interfaces across Stitch Fix, Amplitude, Salesforce, and C3Drone. Stands out for modernizing legacy UIs into React, improving performance for large and real-time datasets, and stepping beyond frontend into backend sync logic, middleware, and query/parser work to ship collaborative product features.”

“Staff-level engineer with a track record of building greenfield, high-impact platforms inside major enterprises like Apple TV, CAA, and Disney. Particularly compelling for teams that need startup-style ownership with enterprise-grade execution: they’ve driven cross-department adoption, built AI and real-time systems hands-on, and delivered measurable operational gains in media, content, and ERP environments.”

“Senior full-stack engineer with seed-stage fintech experience who has led payment API development, implemented compliance-related standards, and built production systems across React, Go, Python, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. Notable impact includes enabling a first major client launch, reducing logistics response times by 30%, improving page load times by 40%+, and cutting analytics report generation from minutes to seconds.”

“Built and shipped customer-facing AI systems in banking, including an AI fraud support workflow and virtual assistant at Citi/Citibank that handled over 1 million conversations per month. Combines full-stack engineering, LLM/RAG architecture, and strong compliance-minded design with PII masking, audit logging, confidence thresholds, and human escalation for regulated environments.”

“Product-minded software engineer with experience shipping AI-powered financial insights (spend forecasting, cashflow, credit optimization) and building real-time analytics systems using React/TypeScript and FastAPI. Has designed microservices with RabbitMQ/gRPC and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry), and also built an internal Figma plugin adopted by designers that reduced export time by 50%.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building credit/fraud enrichment services and checkout pipelines on AWS (EKS + Lambda) using FastAPI, Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, with a strong focus on reliability patterns (timeouts/retries/circuit breakers) and observability. Has also built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL into S3/Redshift with schema evolution and data quality controls, and modernized legacy credit decisioning into Java/Node microservices with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flag rollouts.”

“Technology leader with experience owning enterprise roadmaps and executing large-scale platform standardization during rapid M&A—most notably driving a tech roadmap across a 37-company portfolio at Regent, tackling technical debt and security gaps via unified cloud-native architecture, IAM/logging, CI/CD, and a global SRE model. Previously scaled an Adobe engineering org from 8 to 40+ across four regions, implementing clear org design, KPIs, and an extreme-ownership culture to support 24/7 operations and enterprise needs.”

“Entrepreneur building a bootstrapped AI-based personal agent (inspired by Claude desktop) aimed at making AI assistance accessible to non-technical users. Motivated by improving individuals' daily lives by helping them organize their day and offload simple, repeatable tasks; plans to explore VC/accelerator options but has not raised capital yet.”

Mid-level Backend Software Engineer specializing in Java/Spring microservices and FinTech

Austin, TX5y exp

“Backend engineer with Apple experience who owned production platform improvements end-to-end, including a Redis caching layer that cut API latency ~35–40% and reduced DB load. Has hands-on on-call/incident response and observability (CloudWatch), plus experience scaling Docker/Kubernetes microservices and operating Kafka-based telemetry pipelines with schema evolution, deduplication, and replay/backfill handling.”

“Internship experience at TikTok and nCino, with hands-on work spanning production Python data pipelines, recommendation-system feature workflows, Salesforce Apex automation, and flaky UI automation for a live stock recommendation platform. Stands out for a reliability-focused approach: anticipating failure modes, instrumenting observability, and turning ambiguous business processes into maintainable automated systems.”
