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

Santa Clara, CA4y exp

“Built and shipped a production AI-powered Q&A/RAG onboarding assistant at One Community Global that unified knowledge across Notion, Google Docs, and Slack, cutting volunteer onboarding time by 45%. Demonstrates strong end-to-end ownership: LangChain agent orchestration integrated into a FastAPI backend, rigorous evaluation (200-query dataset, ~85% accuracy), and production feedback/monitoring with source-attributed answers to build user trust.”

“Backend/ML engineer who has shipped high-scale real-time systems across e-commerce and healthcare: built a PharmEasy real-time recommendation engine for ~2M monthly users (cut feature latency 5 min→30 sec; +15% cross-sell) and architected a HIPAA-compliant multimodal clinical diagnostic workflow (DICOM+EHR) with XAI, MLOps (MLflow/Airflow/K8s), and drift/monitoring guardrails supporting 10k+ daily predictions.”

“Robotics software engineer/researcher focused on perception, SLAM, and sensor fusion, with hands-on experience taking systems from simulation to embedded/real-time deployment. Led transparent-surface (glass) detection using GDNet and achieved a major real-time speedup (~7–9 FPS to ~30 FPS) while preserving >90% recall, and has built ROS-based EKF GPS-IMU fusion plus profiled/optimized Visual SLAM for performance and memory stability. Also brings production-style deployment skills via Docker/Kubernetes orchestration of ML inference services with autoscaling and model update rollouts.”

“Software engineer with strong full-stack and platform experience (TypeScript/React/Node.js) who has built real-time analytics dashboards and microservices using RabbitMQ. Demonstrates production-minded decision-making under launch pressure (manual fallback for payment-impacting third-party API issues) and has delivered internal DevOps tooling that automates compliance checks via GitHub/Jira integrations.”

“Full-stack engineer/product owner who built and scaled a customer-facing job application portal (Skillbridge) using TypeScript/React and Spring Boot/MongoDB, optimizing search performance with indexing, caching (Redis), and payload/lazy-loading improvements. Also built an internal AI-driven analytics dashboard for Salesforce operations using OpenAI sentiment analysis, achieving 70% reduction in manual analysis and driving adoption through demos and iterative feedback.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an internal analytics dashboard for sales (React/TypeScript + Node/Express + NoSQL), delivering it two weeks early with zero production issues and a reported 10% sales-efficiency lift. Experienced with microservices and async messaging patterns (retries/DLQs/idempotency), and emphasizes rapid iteration with strong CI/CD and automated testing plus user-driven adoption.”

“Backend engineer at Cerebrone.ai building cloud-native Flask microservices for an AI-driven automation platform on GCP (Cloud Run/App Engine), including dedicated inference services integrating OpenAI and internal ML pipelines. Demonstrated strong performance and scalability wins across Postgres/SQLAlchemy optimization, multi-tenant (healthcare/HIPAA-grade) data isolation, and high-throughput background processing with Celery/Redis/RabbitMQ, with multiple quantified latency/CPU/throughput improvements.”

“Deloitte engineer who built and shipped AI-powered, Kafka-driven workflow automation for transportation/document processing, including LLM-based semantic search. Strong in production reliability (idempotency, offset management, retries), observability (Datadog/CloudWatch), and database performance tuning (PostgreSQL/Flyway), with measurable latency improvements.”

“Backend engineer on Morgan Stanley’s trade risk and compliance platform, building Java/Spring Boot microservices that validate equity and fixed-income trades at multi-million-events/day scale. Shipped an LLM-assisted trade exception analysis feature using RAG over internal policy documents and trade history, with production-grade guardrails (confidence thresholds, audit logs, human-in-the-loop) and measurable performance wins (~30–35% faster reporting) through PostgreSQL tuning and Redis caching.”

“Backend engineer with recent Barclays experience building a Python asyncio + Kafka risk reporting service for trading desks, including a major refactor from blocking batch processing to event-driven incremental pipelines to restore intraday/EOD performance. Also shipped an applied AI feature using OpenAI fine-tuning to classify risk-breach severity and generate trader/risk-manager summaries with robust retry/fallback handling, plus demonstrated strong database/query optimization (triggers, materialized views, partial indexes) in a risk-limits/breaches domain.”
