Senior Unity Developer specializing in AI/LLM systems and multiplayer VR

Orlando, FL11y exp

“Backend/data engineer focused on AWS-native Python systems: built a FastAPI microservice on ECS/Fargate serving real-time analytics at millions of daily requests with strong reliability (OAuth2/JWT, retries/timeouts, correlation IDs) and autoscaling. Also delivered Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines to curated S3 Parquet/Athena with schema evolution + data quality controls, owned Airflow pipeline incidents, and has a track record of measurable performance and cost optimizations (e.g., ~80%+ query latency reduction; reduced logging/NAT/Fargate spend).”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered RAG knowledge system to unify operational/policy information across PDFs, wikis, and databases, emphasizing auditability and low-latency/cost performance. Improved answer relevance at scale by moving from pure vector search to hybrid retrieval with metadata filtering and reranking, and partnered closely with healthcare operations/compliance to define acceptance criteria and human-in-the-loop guardrails.”

“Application-focused software engineer working on AI-heavy products, with hands-on experience building end-to-end document processing, retrieval, and configurable workflow systems. Particularly strong in combining React/TypeScript UX, FastAPI/Postgres backend design, and LLM workflow reliability improvements through validation, prompt iteration, and reusable abstractions.”

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java, React, and distributed systems

Austin, TX7y exp

“Implementation and AI workflow engineer who has owned customer deployments end-to-end for messaging/integration platforms and also built production-oriented LLM systems. Stands out for combining stakeholder-facing delivery leadership with hands-on experience in Kafka/MongoDB integrations, RAG/agent architectures, and resilient document-processing pipelines with strong validation and fallback controls.”

“Backend engineer who has both shipped production systems at work and independently launched tab-review.com, a BI dashboard quality/linting platform. They combine pragmatic early-stage execution with strong instincts around scaling, observability, RBAC, and production reliability, and have also built internal AI-assisted reporting workflows using LangChain and human-in-the-loop review.”

“Built and deployed a production NLP sentiment analysis system at Piper Sandler to turn noisy, finance-specific customer feedback into scalable insights. Demonstrates strong end-to-end MLOps: fine-tuning BERT, improving label quality, monitoring for language drift, and automating retraining/deployment with Airflow and Docker (plus Kubeflow exposure).”

“Full-stack TypeScript engineer who has owned a real-time workflow/communication platform end-to-end in production (Node/TS + React, Postgres/Redis, Kafka, Docker/CI/CD). Demonstrates strong distributed-systems pragmatism—designing for failure with retries, DLQs, idempotency keys, and atomic writes—plus operational practices like structured logging, monitoring, and zero-downtime deployments.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack web, Go microservices, and AI integrations

Remote, USA5y exp

“Backend/LLM engineer who ships production internal tooling end-to-end: automated data-request processing with monitoring-driven improvements (better error diagnostics and lower latency via query/index tuning). Also built a RAG-based internal Q&A system over company docs and operational logs with guardrails (similarity thresholds, fallbacks, response limits) and an eval loop using real user queries and human review to drive prompt/retrieval changes.”

Omar Rahmoun

Senior Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and AI platforms

Chicago, IL5y exp

“Senior engineer transitioning into a lead engineer role who is actively overseeing 5 developers and championing an AI-first development culture. Stands out for a highly structured approach to AI-assisted software delivery, including context engineering, phased planning, multi-agent orchestration, and deliberate hallucination mitigation rather than 'vibe coding.'”

“Repeat founder/CTO with hands-on experience raising capital from friends and family, angels, corporate sources, federal grants, private equity, and venture capital. Built a startup in a software business incubator, later sold the company, and went on to serve as an Engineering Manager at the acquirer inside the Plug and Play accelerator ecosystem.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack cloud and agentic AI systems

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of production systems across maritime tracking, HR tech, and AI-powered document workflows. They combine strong operational instincts with measurable impact—cutting API latency from 10s to 3s, improving query performance by 60%, reducing deployment time by 50%, and driving 70% infrastructure cost savings with serverless design.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has built and operated production Node.js/Express services on AWS (Postgres/Redis) and has hands-on experience shipping an AI-powered support agent using RAG (Pinecone + LLM) with grounding checks and evaluation for hallucination rate. Demonstrates strong production reliability/performance debugging, including reducing peak latency from ~2s back to sub-300ms through query and caching optimizations, plus designing agent workflows with retries and human-in-the-loop escalation.”

Executive Technology Leader (CTO/Head of Engineering) specializing in platform rebuilds, AI, and Web3

California, USA11y exp

“Startup leader with 15+ years of experience, including lead engineer and founding CTO roles across 5 companies from pre-seed to Series A. Actively develops personal venture ideas by creating product specs/SLAs/business plans and engaging in investor pitch sessions and incubators, with a strong focus on early product-market fit via validated learning and data-driven pivots.”

“Built and continuously ships AI features for a recipe website, including a production workflow that ingests Instagram reels via webhooks, extracts/transcribes content, and converts it into structured recipe data. Also brings enterprise async/backend experience from Dot Foods, where they work with Azure Service Bus, Cosmos DB, and a pre-production Teams bot for logistics stakeholder questions.”

“AI automation builder who shipped an OpenAI-powered weekly "trending AI tools" WoW reporting system (65 categories) that reduced a 6–7 hour manual process to ~10 minutes at negligible API cost. Also building a RAG-based content creation prompt engine that turns PDFs into storyboards with fact-checking/traceback to source lines, plus experience with AWS deployment components (Lambda, ECR, App Runner, Bedrock, API Gateway) and GitHub Actions.”
