Ohio, United States3y exp

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned a real-time business analytics dashboard backend (Python/Flask/MongoDB) and built Kafka event-streaming pipelines with idempotent processing and DLQs. Strong DevOps/GitOps experience deploying containerized microservices to AWS EKS with CI/CD (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/CodePipeline) and ArgoCD auto-sync/drift detection, plus hands-on support for phased hybrid cloud/on-prem migrations using feature flags and replication.”

“Hands-on implementation-focused candidate with experience owning cloud deployments and putting LLM/RAG workflows into production. They stand out for combining customer-facing deployment ownership with practical AI systems work, including retrieval tuning, hallucination mitigation, production incident response, and document-processing pipelines for messy real-world inputs.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of banking microservices from initial design to launch and production support, including security, CI/CD, observability, and incident response. Stands out for measurable modernization impact—~35% faster backend processing, ~40% lower query latency, and ~30% better deployment cycles—and for a pragmatic approach to both Kafka-based async systems and controlled LLM integration in enterprise workflows.”

“Built an internal RAG assistant for financial documents using FastAPI, OpenAI APIs, and vector search, improving document search speed and reducing manual effort for the business team. Stands out for a pragmatic approach to AI engineering: uses AI heavily for productivity, but keeps human judgment central and has designed retrieval, validation, and summarization workflows end-to-end.”

“AI and platform engineer with 5 years of experience who built a production knowledge assistant for Verizon end-to-end, from architecture through deployment, monitoring, and incident hardening. Stands out for combining modern LLM/RAG systems with enterprise-grade rigor, including validation layers, observability, versioning safeguards, and measurable impact on technician productivity and retrieval quality.”

“Engineer working on high-throughput financial systems who uses AI pragmatically to accelerate development without sacrificing design ownership, correctness, or compliance. Particularly interesting for teams building regulated, real-time platforms: they have hands-on experience integrating fraud detection models into microservices, handling transaction ingestion, scoring, decisioning, and throughput-sensitive asynchronous workflows.”

“Currently building a DBC (Digital Birth Certificate) agentic AI system to speed root cause investigation for quality issues at their company. They bring hands-on experience designing and leading multi-agent workflows, including orchestrator/root-agent patterns, evaluation agents, clarification agents, and practical guardrails for hallucination, bias, and rate-limit management.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience at Vanguard, PNC, and Humana building customer-facing investment/banking flows and internal ops tools using Angular/React/TypeScript with Spring Boot microservices. Strong in shipping time-sensitive changes safely via automated testing/CI (JUnit/Mockito, Jenkins, SonarQube) and in operating event-driven microservices with Kafka (idempotency, retries, correlation IDs). Improved internal tool adoption by responding to ops/support feedback with query optimization and clearer search results.”

“Software engineer with experience at Walmart and Amex building customer-facing backend services and microservices at scale (RabbitMQ). Built an internal developer tooling platform integrating Figma with GitHub Copilot to automate consistent React component creation, adopted across multiple teams; emphasizes fast, safe iteration using metrics, feature flags, gradual rollouts, and automated testing.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building a large-scale healthcare claims and provider-enrollment system end-to-end (React frontend, Spring Boot microservices, PostgreSQL on AWS). Optimized high-volume claims processing (millions of records/day) using indexing/pagination and asynchronous workloads via AWS Lambda/Kafka, and deployed containerized services with Docker/Jenkins on AWS.”

“Engineering/technology leader who stays hands-on while driving executive-level roadmap execution, with deep experience modernizing cloud-based LIMS/LIS platforms and building AI-driven lab analytics. Led a monolith-to-microservices cloud migration with containerization and CI/CD, and delivered a reported 30% reduction in lab turnaround time while strengthening compliance.”

“Backend engineer who built Flask-based microservices for a high-throughput risk engine, using Kafka for streaming decoupling and Redis for low-latency caching, with PostgreSQL + Cassandra for mixed relational and time-series needs. Has hands-on experience productionizing ML inference (Azure OpenAI/TensorFlow) behind REST APIs with async queues, batching, and caching, plus multi-tenant isolation via schema separation and RBAC with per-tenant rate limiting.”

“Backend/ML engineer working on a battery energy storage system operations dashboard: built a Flask backend integrated with OAuth and a separate FastAPI optimization/simulation service, deployed via Docker CI/CD to Azure Container Apps. Strong in productionizing ML (AzureML to batch endpoints) and in performance/scalability patterns (Postgres indexing/JSONB, per-unit data isolation, async throttling + caching for year-long CPU-intensive simulations across 40+ scenarios).”

“Full-stack engineer with Bank of America experience modernizing a large-scale financial reporting platform. Built React frontends and Java/Spring Boot microservice APIs end-to-end, optimized data-heavy SQL performance (indexing/caching/pagination), and implemented an AI feature for forecasting and anomaly detection using Python/scikit-learn, with deployments supported on AWS.”

“Maintained and improved a set of JavaScript packages at JPMorgan, including a major refactor of an event-emission layer used in LLM streaming that delivered ~20% runtime speedup with no API changes. Known for a measurement-driven performance approach (profiling + simplification + validation), strong backward-compatibility discipline, and documentation that accelerates internal adoption and reduces support questions.”

“Software engineer with hands-on AWS operations experience who owned an end-to-end manufacturing image ingestion pipeline (on-prem to AWS S3) integrated with MES/WMS. In an early-stage SaaS internship, diagnosed a load bottleneck using K6/New Relic and shipped an NGINX least-connection load-balancing solution that scaled to ~4000 RPS while reducing latency. Also improved maintainability and performance in a React/Node e-commerce codebase, cutting page load time from ~10s to 2.8s.”

“Software engineer with Citi Bank experience building real-time fraud validation/scoring for loan processing, spanning Spring Boot microservices and a FastAPI Python service secured with OAuth2/JWT. Delivered React/TypeScript operations dashboards and deployed containerized services via Docker/Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD, while also tuning databases (Oracle/Postgres) and handling high-volume latency/scaling issues using ELK, caching, and autoscaling on AWS.”

“GenAI/LLM ML engineer (currently at Webprobo) building an enterprise GenAI platform with document intelligence and automation on AWS and blockchain. Has hands-on experience with RAG, LLM evaluation tooling, and orchestrating production LLM workflows with Apache Airflow, plus deep exposure to reliability challenges in globally distributed/edge deployments. Also partnered with business/marketing stakeholders at a banking client to deliver an AI-driven customer retention insights solution.”
