“Backend-focused software engineer building distributed, event-driven Java/Spring Boot microservices with Kafka for low-latency, high-frequency processing. Has hands-on experience modernizing a legacy Java system into containerized microservices deployed on Kubernetes with GitHub Actions CI/CD, and has integrated retrieval-based AI components into production workflows; no ROS/robot hardware experience yet.”

“Built and shipped “LabMate,” a production AI assistant specialized in laboratory hardware, using a weighted multi-source RAG pipeline with reranking and reasoning-focused query decomposition to handle complex user questions. Deployed on a local GPU cluster with vLLM and NVIDIA MPS (plus OCR/VLM components), and established evaluation using synthetic + public reasoning datasets while collaborating weekly with non-technical admins to align requirements and resource constraints.”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience owning a production e-commerce platform end-to-end (TypeScript/Node/Express, React, MongoDB, Redis) including RBAC and contract-based API development. Also worked at Infosys on a large healthcare management system built with Spring Boot microservices, using Kafka for messaging/retries, circuit breakers for resilience, and OpenTelemetry/Swagger for observability and API documentation.”

“Full-stack engineer who built "Workstream AI," an AI-powered engineering visibility product that converts GitHub activity into real-time insights using an event-driven microservices stack (RabbitMQ/Postgres/Express) and GPT-4 with a React frontend. Previously a Founding SWE at a health & wellness startup, building data-driven user management tooling, and also delivered a real-time shuttle tracking/ride request system using Java Spring Boot/Hibernate + React; comfortable owning production deployment details (AWS EC2, DNS, SSL).”

“Outside sales engineer and full-cycle seller with hands-on outbound ownership across manufacturing (machine vision solutions) and real estate. Uses a highly structured, data-driven approach—ZoomInfo-based targeting, A/B-tested Salesforce cadences, and AI (Gemini 2.5) to automate personalized messaging at scale (~300 custom emails/week). Also has early-stage startup experience creating investor-facing marketing roadmaps and team operating rhythms.”

“Full-stack engineer who built an end-to-end low-code/no-code IDE for creating AI/ML workflows for industrial IoT sensors using Next.js/TypeScript and NestJS microservices. Focused on scaling high-volume sensor dashboards—improved UX and performance via WebSockets, debouncing, pagination, and API payload reduction—validated with profiling tools and user feedback in a startup environment.”

“Built and shipped AI-powered workflow automation at Oracle, including an MCP-based agentic workflow with tool-calling and guardrails, plus Grafana monitoring and Confluence documentation. Also led a Django monolith-to-microservices migration at Chamsmobile using blue-green deployment and load balancer traffic splitting to avoid regressions while modernizing production systems.”

Junior QA Automation Engineer specializing in Playwright E2E and API testing

San Francisco, CA3y exp

“QA automation-focused engineer who hardens production CI/CD by integrating and stabilizing end-to-end automated tests (tackling async UI flakiness, resilient assertions/selectors, and controlled test data). Demonstrates strong cross-layer troubleshooting by correlating logs and system metrics to resolve intermittent service reachability, then adding monitoring/alerts and documentation. Also partners directly with operators to improve real-world workflows by enhancing validation logic and error messaging.”

Intern Data Analyst specializing in data pipelines and LLM/RAG applications

San Francisco, CA1y exp

“Built and deployed LLM-powered analytics and reporting systems, including a RAG-based assistant over Snowflake that let business users ask questions in plain English instead of writing SQL. Experienced orchestrating LLM agents (LangChain) and serverless reporting pipelines (AWS Lambda/S3/RDS), with a strong focus on grounded outputs, monitoring/evaluation, and data quality—used daily by non-technical finance and operations teams at Cigna.”
