Vetted Java Professionals

“Full-stack/backend engineer with healthcare and enterprise experience: built and secured AWS-hosted services for a clinical EHR product that redacts/transforms hospital patient records for pharma customers (e.g., AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson). At Cisco, led an incremental Ruby-to-Python/Django migration for a compliance backend, and has deep multi-tenant security experience using Postgres RLS tied to JWT plus DLQ patterns to harden data pipelines.”

“Candidate brings an operator-to-founder profile with leadership experience in IT and Business Systems and a strong grasp of how ideas become venture-backable products. They speak fluently about startup evaluation criteria such as TAM, technical defensibility, speed to scale, and AI differentiation, and appear especially motivated by building solutions end-to-end in startup or venture studio environments.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech platforms

Stony Brook, NY6y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built RegArt’s product from 0→1 for enterprise compliance users at clients like HSBC and EY, including the production React frontend, backend APIs, and an LLM-powered search experience. Particularly compelling for startups needing someone who can move across UI, API, and data layers, make pragmatic architecture tradeoffs, and ship fast without over-engineering.”

Mid-level Software Development Engineer in Test specializing in CI/CD and web automation

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“QA automation engineer with ad-tech domain experience (Prebid.js wrapper-based services) who built an end-to-end Python automation framework using Playwright to validate wrapper settings, auction request/response, and analytics payloads. Uses Jenkins-driven CI reporting and feature-categorized regression runs to quickly isolate revenue-impacting defects and coordinate fast fixes with developers.”

“Hands-on production engineer with deep Oracle tuning and observability-driven troubleshooting experience in a 24x7 healthcare system used by pharmacists across the U.S. While not yet hands-on with GCP databases, they bring strong transferable cloud and platform experience from AWS/Azure, including migration work, memory leak remediation, HA/DR operations, and end-to-end performance debugging across DB, JVM, and network layers.”

“Candidate comes from SaaS and healthcare analytics rather than game development, but has strong end-to-end ownership experience building real-time, high-availability systems in Python/AWS. They highlight measurable impact across performance, throughput, uptime, and cost reduction, including queue optimization and predictive ICU utilization pipelines, and are looking to transfer that systems engineering foundation into Unity/gameplay work.”

“Software engineering candidate who built a compiler-like Python tool to translate between Python code and UML-style diagrams (and back). Also has hands-on AWS experience building a distributed pub/sub system using services like Lambda, API Gateway, ELB, WAF, VPC, and DynamoDB, plus ML projects using Kaggle datasets (e.g., diabetes risk analysis).”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in distributed microservices and real-time systems

2y exp

“Software engineer with production experience at DraftKings and SRC, owning high-impact platform changes like early-start lineup validation fixes and a multi-service refactor to support dual-role players (e.g., Ohtani) using backward-compatible, feature-flagged rollouts. Has embedded onsite with military users to rapidly ship improvements to a COP/TAK mapping integration (TrackSync), and leverages AI tools (Claude) to accelerate learning and delivery in new domains (e.g., ESP32 smart deadbolt project).”

“Embedded/real-time robotics-style engineer with hands-on STM32 development, sensor integration, and low-level drivers, focused on deterministic control behavior. Demonstrated systematic debugging of jitter/latency by instrumenting the sensing-to-actuation pipeline and eliminating blocking via interrupts, hardware timers, and DMA; also designs asynchronous, message-based interfaces for distributed real-time components. Familiar with ROS/ROS2 concepts (nodes/topics/callbacks) though not yet deployed a full production ROS system.”

“Full-stack engineer with end-to-end ownership across React/TypeScript frontends, Spring Boot/Node microservices, and production ops on Docker/Kubernetes and AWS (ECS/CloudWatch). Built real-time healthcare eligibility and analytics systems at Cigna and an early-stage seller onboarding platform at Flipkart, driving measurable performance gains (35–40% latency/throughput improvements) through event-driven Kafka pipelines, Redis caching, and strong reliability/observability practices.”

“SDE who worked on an MGICS Lab robotics project building a multi-agent model to help agents understand tasks and generate robot instructions, emphasizing task-splitting, checking, and a reflection agent to improve accuracy. Also has experience using GitHub with automated CI/CD pipelines.”

“Software engineer with experience delivering customer-facing solutions across consulting and engineering contexts (Deloitte, Coherent), including a finance reconciliation system and a firmware validation tool integrated into existing test infrastructure. Demonstrates strong on-site/customer collaboration, rapid iteration, and high-pressure debugging (CARLA demo fix), with measurable impact and a focus on adoption through familiar workflows and clear documentation.”

“Robotics/AV-focused engineer who built an end-to-end gesture controller for a GEM e2 autonomous vehicle using YOLOv8 pose and ROS, including model training, ROS perception nodes, and a safety-oriented state machine (stop override + hold-to-register). Also has internship experience at Intramotev integrating LiDAR object detection via Redis pub/sub and performing sensor-frame calibration (roll/pitch correction using ground-plane normals), plus Dockerized deployments and Gazebo-based testing.”

“Backend engineer who built a serverless AWS Lambda microservices backend for a parenting assistance mobile app, including a personalized recommendation system optimized to sub-500ms via precomputed scoring and DynamoDB caching. Demonstrates strong production pragmatism: CloudWatch-driven performance tuning (provisioned concurrency), zero-downtime phased schema migrations, and robustness patterns like optimistic locking and request deduplication. Also led a refactor of an LLM RAG pipeline to improve retrieval quality and cut latency from ~5s to ~3s.”

“Built and deployed a production credit card fraud detection platform that scores transactions in real time using TensorFlow/scikit-learn models exposed via a Spring Boot REST API, with strict SLAs, fallback to legacy rules, and Splunk-based monitoring/drift tracking. Also has enterprise orchestration experience with TIBCO BusinessWorks (BW 6.6/BWCE), coordinating REST/SOAP services and JMS messaging (TIBCO EMS) with robust error handling and compensation logic.”
