Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI systems and FinTech

Boston, MA4y exp

“Amazon warehouse-tools engineer with strong full-stack and GenAI systems experience, spanning large-scale provisioning platforms and internal LLM/chatbot products. They’ve owned systems end to end, including React/TypeScript frontends, Java/AWS backend orchestration, and Bedrock-based RAG architectures, with measurable impact on latency, token cost, validation quality, and operational support load.”

“Front-end engineer with significant ownership of sophisticated enterprise admin experiences in Cisco Webex Control Hub. Stands out for building permission-aware, route-driven UI architecture and solving tricky browser/CSS integration issues across shell and remote-entry boundaries while keeping the experience polished and consistent for expert users.”

“Backend engineer with production experience on an AWS Lambda-based payment service (manually deployed) and hands-on modernization work using parallel-run + diffing to prove parity before cutover. Has practical production troubleshooting experience for batch/pipeline incidents using monitoring/logs and emphasizes idempotent rerunnable jobs for safe recovery; also improved GraphQL performance by refactoring overly broad queries.”

“Robotics software engineer who has built end-to-end pipelines spanning backend/data processing through model interfaces and hardware integration. Has hands-on ROS2 experience building Python nodes and debugging real-time behavior via profiling, publish-rate tuning, and latency fixes, plus experience standardizing multi-robot communication with QoS adjustments. Uses Gazebo simulation and Docker/CI/CD to catch integration issues early and speed iteration.”

“Software engineer focused on reliability and scalable systems: built React/TypeScript dashboards backed by Java/Spring Boot APIs and designed Kafka-based microservices with strong contract/versioning discipline. Known for shipping incremental improvements with tight feedback loops and for creating internal observability tools that streamline on-call and incident diagnosis under high-traffic conditions.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who built an end-to-end personalized chatbot service integrating Amazon Redshift context retrieval with Amazon Bedrock, including prompt construction and production-grade reliability controls.
