Vetted Java EE Professionals

“Frontend engineer who led a React/TypeScript real-time live-streaming web platform end-to-end, including interactive chat, live polling, and monetization (subscriptions/tipping via Authorize.Net). Built a scalable component system (Tailwind + Storybook) and handled complex real-time state with optimistic UI patterns across WebSocket and server-validated events, collaborating closely with product/design (Figma) and QA in an agile release cadence.”

“Engineering/product leader in early-stage environments who has repeatedly driven major pivots and scaling efforts: pandemic-era refactor at NameCoach and multi-community expansion at Nolodex (now ~20 communities). Comfortable going from executive roadmap/stakeholder alignment to hands-on implementation (e.g., webhooks), and has led architecture shifts (monolith-to-distributed, Heroku-to-AWS) while managing outsourced/offshore teams through organizational friction.”

“Built a production LLM-powered clinical note summarization and retrieval system that structures patient/provider/payer discussions into standardized outputs (symptoms, treatments, clinical codes, and prior-auth decisions) and stores notes as embeddings for hybrid search and proactive prior-authorization prediction. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, RAG, and grounding against medical code databases, and has communicated model feasibility/limitations to business stakeholders (Virtusa/Comcast).”

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning serverless APIs and containerized workers (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS) plus data pipelines (Glue, S3, Athena/Redshift). Has modernized legacy SAS/cron batch systems into Python/AWS with parallel-run parity validation and low-risk cutovers, and has owned ETL incidents end-to-end (CloudWatch detection, backfills, and preventative controls). Targeting $130k–$150k base and strongly prefers remote, with occasional Bethesda onsite acceptable.”

“Built and deployed a production AI document Q&A (RAG) platform that lets non-technical users query hundreds of PDFs/Word files, cutting search time from hours to seconds. Experienced with scaling retrieval pipelines (chunking, embeddings, vector search, batching/caching) and orchestrating reliable workflows using AWS Step Functions/Airflow with robust retries, monitoring, and fallbacks.”

“Backend/architecture-focused player-coach who designed and built two partner-facing data APIs using a contract-first (OpenAPI) governance model in Java (Quarkus/Spring Boot). Strong in technical standards, incident response, and delivery systems—improved reliability under peak load (DB/index fix) and sped up delivery by streamlining PR/review processes while maintaining production stability.”

“Unity developer who improved the feel and usability of a text-heavy game by implementing satisfying UI scrolling and adding keyboard-based navigation, earning positive feedback from both the dev team and users. Also has professional client/server experience (REST) and contributed to a Unity industrial application for AI-managed smart-home/domotics control, leveraging Agile/Jira and AI coding assistants to boost delivery.”
