Strong in reliability/observability and incident leadership, plus modernizing legacy healthcare workflows and building resilient AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines with schema evolution and data quality controls.”

“Hands-on LLM practitioner who built a production document-processing pipeline in Python, tackling long-document handling and latency with chunking/batching and a user-driven correction feedback loop. Experienced operationalizing AI workflows with Kubernetes (CronJobs, autoscaling, scheduled data cleaning and weekly retraining) and applying structured testing/evaluation (E2E, LLM-as-judge, HITL) while communicating solutions clearly to non-technical clients using visual diagrams.”

“Worked on onboarding a Middle East logistics client processing thousands of invoices/month, building a production-ready pipeline that routes known vendor PDFs to deterministic regex parsers via Tax ID matching and falls back to LlamaParse for unknown layouts. Added financial consistency validation plus human-in-the-loop review and logging/metrics to continuously reduce LLM usage and improve template coverage.”

Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in real-time platforms and AI tools

Cambridge, MA3y exp

“Early-career full-stack engineer with unusual depth in mission-critical environments: helped build a cybersecurity operations platform from scratch as the third engineer and shipped it to the National Election Commission of South Korea. Also worked on defense-focused situational awareness software, combining React/WebGL frontend performance work with backend data transformation for real-time weather and map overlays.”

“Full-stack engineer who has owned customer-facing AI recommendation and analytics dashboards end-to-end (backend APIs/data processing through React UI, deployment, and monitoring). Demonstrates strong systems thinking around scaling microservices—using observability, caching, async workflows, and resilience patterns—and also built an internal ops dashboard that became the default tool for on-call incident reviews.”

“Software engineer with recent hands-on production work across Go, Python, and React/TypeScript, spanning healthcare APIs, compliance systems, and data engineering. Stands out for delivering under ambiguity: replaced a legacy SOAP eligibility service, built a Kafka-based compliance pipeline handling 14,000 events per second, and created a modular banking data pipeline that cut month-end work by 30%.”

Senior Full-Stack .NET Developer specializing in cloud migration and enterprise systems

Leander, TX10y exp

“Enterprise full-stack engineer with strong Microsoft-stack depth, including modernizing a legacy Sun Life insurance platform into Azure-based microservices. They combine backend architecture, Kubernetes-based delivery, frontend dashboard work in React/Redux, and measurable database optimization results, including cutting a major supply-chain report from 11 minutes to about 20 seconds.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps-focused engineer working across Linux-based enterprise platforms that include IBM Power/AIX in a broader OpenShift/Kubernetes and cloud ecosystem. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD for containerized deployments and resolved a production deployment failure by tracing ImagePullBackOff to outdated registry credentials in Kubernetes secrets. Uses Terraform (with modular structure) plus Ansible to provision and standardize production environments with pipeline-based validation.”

“Zero Trust security product lead focused on UI/API delivery, stability, and customer adoption at enterprise scale, including deployments serving 1200 customers. Stands out for hands-on production debugging across the full stack, customer-facing incident ownership, and a pragmatic approach to turning failures into automated regression coverage.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end agentic RAG chatbot platform for Baptist Health that helped clinicians access policy and clinical documents faster, reducing manual lookup by 80% and delivering about $2M in annual savings. Brings strong healthcare GenAI production experience, including HIPAA-aligned governance, PHI redaction, observability, evaluation, and scalable Python/Kubernetes deployment practices.”
