Vetted Kotlin Professionals

“Cloud-focused engineer experienced deploying and stabilizing complex production systems that span APIs, infrastructure, and automated workflows, with a strong observability and safe-release mindset (feature flags/canaries/rollbacks). Has hands-on, customer-facing incident leadership, including executing DR regional failover during an AWS us-east-1 outage to maintain service and reportedly save a client ~$10M.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned a production real-time computer-vision inference platform at Credence, spanning Next.js App Router/TypeScript frontend with SSE/WebSocket streaming, a Flask backend, and Postgres analytics. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (70% fewer re-renders; latency cut to ~40–50ms) and strong production rigor (durable orchestration, idempotency, observability, AWS EC2 + CI/CD) with tight post-launch UX iteration based on analyst feedback.”

“iOS player-coach who led end-to-end development of real-time customer support chat and unified notification systems for T-Mobile’s iOS app using SwiftUI, Firebase, WebSockets, and Core Data (including offline handling). Drove measurable reliability/latency gains (~30%) through a major notification refactor and owned a high-severity push-notification incident from rollback through RCA and backward-compatible hotfix, while also scaling team process and people management.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in LLM agents and full-stack development

Seattle, USA1y exp

“Embedded C++ engineer with Bosch automotive infotainment experience, owning real-time audio middleware modules with strict latency/memory constraints. Strong in profiling/optimizing deterministic behavior, debugging hardware-specific intermittent issues, and building automated test + CI pipelines; currently ramping up on ROS2 concepts (DDS, nodes/topics/services) to transition toward robotics.”

“VR/social platform engineer with experience at AltspaceVR, Mozilla Hubs, and Dopple, spanning Unity/C#, custom engine networking, and early voice-agent systems. Particularly compelling for roles at the intersection of multiplayer, XR, and AI: they’ve built data-driven avatar systems, ownership-based netcode, VR replay capture, and a custom real-time voice->LLM->voice stack integrated with hardware and computer vision.”

“Backend engineer who built a Logistics-as-a-Service platform in Go, proactively refactoring a monolithic REST service into gRPC microservices to improve performance and maintainability. Led a 3-person team with disciplined code reviews, Dockerized DB migrations, and a canary-style rollout (5% traffic) monitored for latency and failures; also implemented JWT/OAuth2 RBAC and production-minded edge-case handling in an ordering system.”

West Covina, CA11y exp

“Backend/data engineer who has built production Python microservices (FastAPI) and AWS-native platforms for event ingestion and analytics, combining ECS/Fargate + Lambda with CloudFormation-driven environments and strong secrets/IAM practices. Experienced modernizing legacy logic with parallel-run parity validation and safe phased cutovers, and has demonstrated measurable SQL tuning wins (20–30s down to 1–2s) plus incident ownership in Glue/Step Functions ETL pipelines.”

Mid-level Mobile Software Engineer specializing in Android performance and growth

Irvine, CA6y exp

“Backend engineer with primary experience in Node.js and serverless AWS/Firebase architectures. At iSharingsoft, owned a data sync protocol optimization effort—used server log analysis to find redundant read/write calls, redesigned sync logic, added caching, and reduced server traffic by 15%, improving performance and cost.”

“Built Bargain Bricks end-to-end as a solo creator, handling product ideation, design, backend, APIs, website, and native iOS/Android apps. They actively maintain and iterate on the product, which has over 1,000 downloads, and have improved conversion through UI changes that surfaced the best deal above the fold.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience scaling a Python/Flask incident-logging platform processing thousands of daily logs. Strong in performance tuning (PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy query optimization, partitioning, summary tables) and reliability patterns (Redis caching, Celery background workers, Docker + Jenkins CI/CD), with some multi-tenant data isolation experience via separate DBs/schemas.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in game development and cross-platform apps

Duvall, WA19y exp

“Client Platform engineer with strong Unity/C# background who built a spec-driven code generation system bridging Unity C# to Kotlin and a React/JavaScript UI layer, reducing feature implementation overhead by hours. Has shipped/implemented networking layers for multiple games (including a mobile MOBA) spanning deterministic action-logging approaches and physics/state sync with latency compensation, and built desync detection to debug divergence. Also prototyped a shared VR/mobile app architecture at Meta (Supernatural) demonstrating a single codebase running on both.”

“Built and stabilized production data pipelines in clinical genomics, including integrating a qPCR step into Baylor Genetics' workflow with a focus on reliability, turnaround time, and reducing manual intervention. Also has hands-on LLM production experience, creating a Python/OpenAI-based translation evaluation pipeline that reduced manual review time by 70% and improved scoring consistency.”

“Built a production AI-powered insights platform for marketing teams analyzing large-scale social and news data, combining Java microservices, Kafka, Spark, React, and LLM-based retrieval workflows. Stands out for shipping customer-facing AI features with measurable gains in accuracy and latency, plus solid reliability practices for high-volume backend systems.”
