Vetted Java EE Professionals

“Full-stack engineer with payments/settlement domain experience who modernized a payment tracking workflow from REST to GraphQL and delivered a production payment status dashboard using Next.js App Router + TypeScript. Strong in performance and reliability work (Postgres indexing/Explain Analyze, Redis caching, Datadog observability) and in durable event-driven processing with Kafka (DLQs, idempotency, reconciliation, event replay).”

“Full-stack developer who has built portfolio products from scratch in healthcare and recruiting, including a clinic appointment system and a dual-role job platform. Stands out for combining ASP.NET Core, Angular, SQL Server, and JWT-based authorization with strong architectural thinking around role isolation, relational modeling, and maintainable service-layer design.”

“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.”

“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.”
