“Backend/data engineer who has owned production Python APIs and high-throughput async workflows on AWS (FastAPI, Docker, ECS/EKS/Lambda) with mature reliability practices like idempotency, bounded retries, circuit breakers, and strong observability. Also built AWS Glue ETL into an S3/Redshift lakehouse and modernized legacy batch systems via parallel-run parity testing and feature-flagged migrations, including a SQL tuning win cutting a multi-minute query to under 10 seconds.”

“Backend-leaning engineer with experience at Dropbox, Wayfair, and Etsy who has led cross-product integrations and internal platform tooling. Re-architected a legacy promo code system from a PHP monolith to a Java/Spring Boot microservice achieving a 99% execution-time reduction, and built a React/TypeScript + Supabase product (press.social) with LLM-powered bulk parallel generation and a path to multi-tenancy.”

“Software engineer with 2.5 years at Amazon working on the Package Tracking page (Amazon’s most visited page), delivering new customer actions like Cancel Delivery and Buy Again within a Spring Boot-based stack. Has hands-on experience with feature-flagged rollouts (Weblab), A/B testing, and scaling/load testing for Prime Day-level traffic, and is upskilling into React while leveraging modern AI coding tools on side projects.”

“Full-stack engineer (Snowflake) who shipped an AI/LLM-powered data exploration product end-to-end, spanning Spring Boot/Python services and a polished React UI with streaming responses and robust fallbacks. Experienced operating high-scale AWS deployments (Docker/Kubernetes, SNS/SQS, RDS Postgres, CloudWatch, Jenkins CI/CD) supporting thousands to tens of thousands of concurrent users, including handling real traffic-spike scaling incidents.”
