USA5y exp

“Software engineer/product-minded builder who owns customer-facing products end-to-end and ships in 1–2 week increments using CI/CD, automated testing, and feature flags. Built a TypeScript/React/Node platform that cut page load times by 40% and scaled to 3x concurrent users, and designed RabbitMQ-based microservices with Prometheus/Grafana monitoring. Also delivered an internal real-time support analytics dashboard that reduced response times by 30%.”

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.'”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned an enterprise Django REST + PostgreSQL reporting backend and built Python ETL pipelines to normalize 3M+ legacy customer records, improving data reliability by 85%. Strong Kubernetes/GitOps practitioner (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with real-world production debugging experience, plus Kafka streaming at 5M events/day and a zero-downtime monolith-to-event-driven microservices migration on AWS that cut infra costs by 42%.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on backend/integration for indoor autonomous mobile robots, with hands-on ROS 2 experience integrating Nav2/AMCL/TF2 and LiDAR/camera pipelines. Emphasizes production readiness—robust failure recovery, QoS-tuned distributed communication, and strong observability (logging/health checks)—validated through Gazebo simulation, sensor-data replay debugging, and Docker-based CI/CD deployment.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned a near-real-time patient feedback ingestion system, building a FastAPI + Kafka service with Snowflake/Airflow orchestration. Demonstrates strong production Kubernetes/GitOps practices on AWS EKS (Helm, Argo CD, Sealed Secrets) and solved real-time data integrity issues via idempotent processing with Redis.”
