Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in NLP, LLMs, and MLOps

Remote, USA4y exp

“Built an AI-driven insurance policy summarization platform at Marsh, taking it end-to-end from messy PDF ingestion/OCR and custom extraction through LLM fine-tuning and AWS SageMaker deployment. Delivered measurable impact (25% reduction in manual review time, 99% uptime) and demonstrated strong production MLOps/LLMOps practices with Airflow/Step Functions orchestration, rigorous evaluation (ROUGE + human review), and continuous monitoring for drift, latency, and hallucinations.”

Mid-Level Software Developer specializing in Java, Cloud, and Microservices

Chicago, IL6y exp

“Backend/Python engineer who owned an end-to-end FastAPI + AWS internal natural-language document Q&A system (Textract extraction, embeddings/vector DB, LLM integration) with strong focus on reliability and latency. Hands-on with Kubernetes + GitOps (Argo CD, Helm, rolling updates/auto-rollback) and built/optimized Kafka streaming pipelines using Prometheus/Grafana. Also supported a zero-downtime on-prem to cloud migration with parallel run and gradual traffic cutover.”

“Data engineer focused on building reliable, production-grade pipelines and external data collection systems on AWS (S3/Lambda/SQS/Glue/EMR) using PySpark/SQL, serving curated datasets to Snowflake/Redshift for finance and fraud teams. Has operated a large-scale crawler ingesting millions of records/day with anti-bot tactics, schema versioning/quarantine, and CloudWatch/Datadog monitoring, and also shipped a versioned REST API with caching and query optimization.”

Senior Front-End Engineer specializing in React, micro frontends, and GraphQL

Sunnyvale, CA8y exp

“Frontend engineer with Walmart Labs experience who contributed to the React Query (TanStack) open-source ecosystem by reproducing and helping fix a tricky cache invalidation edge case via a detailed GitHub issue and merged PR. Led measurable runtime performance improvements on a large B2B dashboard (D3.js), using memoization, component refactors, web workers, and virtualization to cut render time ~60% and eliminate UI freezes, and standardized data-fetching patterns to reduce data-related bugs ~30%.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in FinTech and cloud-native microservices

St. Louis, MO5y exp

“Backend/AI engineer who owned a high-scale Java/Spring Boot microservice for a financial application (millions of requests/day) and led major reliability/performance fixes (including ORM/query and PostgreSQL tuning) achieving ~60% latency reduction. Also shipped application-layer LLM features for ops teams (summarization + tool-calling) with strong guardrails (PII redaction, validation, audit/feedback) and designed a state-driven agent workflow with retries, circuit breakers, and human escalation.”

“Candidate approaches AI-assisted coding like a senior developer supervising junior contributors: they define precise technical requirements, enforce code quality and documentation, and review outputs before approval. They also actively lead multi-agent workflows using OpenClaw and a Kanban-style AI project management setup, coordinating both coding and non-technical agents.”

“Built an employee payroll and leave management system end to end at Northwest Missouri State University, owning stakeholder discovery, UI design, frontend implementation, backend APIs, and payroll business logic. Also has experience modernizing legacy transaction processing with an incremental migration approach from COBOL-based batch systems to Spring Boot services.”

“Product leader with deep recruiting-tech and HR-tech experience, including leading an end-to-end ATS rebuild and shipping AI-powered candidate matching across tens of millions of profiles. Stands out for turning ambiguous, spreadsheet-level asks into scalable products, improving user efficiency by 40%, and aligning engineering, design, legal, HR, and global stakeholders around clear delivery.”

“Engineering leader focused on developer platforms and open-source frameworks/SDKs, with strong community and release-engineering chops. Drove major reliability and DX improvements (30–50% faster release cycles; 2–3x repeat contributors; ~50% faster onboarding) and led an incremental Python monolith to TypeScript event-driven migration using Protobuf contracts, feature flags, and a plugin architecture to preserve backward compatibility.”

“Senior project/program leader with 19+ years of experience delivering enterprise B2B and SaaS implementations across highly regulated and operationally complex industries. Brings broad cross-domain expertise spanning CRM, IAM, IoT/fleet, data migration, and platform modernization, with repeated ownership of multi-project portfolios, executive governance, and go-live readiness for high-visibility enterprise releases.”
