Senior Full-Stack Developer specializing in React/Next.js and NestJS

Toronto, ON4y exp

“Frontend-focused full-stack engineer who built and shipped Atlas Link (atlaslink.io), an ops/admin dashboard for an alumni directory designed to scale across clients and large datasets. Strong on architecture boundaries, typed API contracts, and performance-heavy table UIs, with a rigorous testing approach (TypeScript/Jest/React Testing Library) and experience modernizing a legacy ASP.NET MVC app with a new component layer and cleaned-up CSS system.”

“Built production-style backend and AI systems across internship and project work, including a real-time sports platform backend and a Smart Email Assistant using GPT-4. Stands out for combining classic backend performance engineering with practical LLM workflow design, including measurable latency improvements, high uptime, and debugging of non-deterministic model behavior.”

“Unity/C# gameplay programmer with professional experience at Fabwelt Studios on the play-to-earn title "Arsenal," implementing player mechanics, interaction systems, and event-driven gameplay features. Also built a research-focused Tetris prototype as a master’s thesis, adding seedable RNG controls, data logging, and a playtest harness to study how randomness affects player perception.”

“FAU-based analytics candidate with hands-on academic project experience across SQL data preparation, Python/NLP sentiment analysis, and predictive modeling. They stand out for turning messy datasets into clean reporting tables, building reproducible analysis workflows, and translating findings into practical recommendations around operations, credit risk, and marketing ROI.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in React, Node.js, and real-time collaboration

Remote1y exp

“Frontend-focused engineer and former frontend team lead who built a React product from zero-to-MVP (including complex UI like tables and chat) and implemented scalable architecture, shared typing, and UI quality workflows (Storybook/Chromatic). Also built a React+TypeScript internal dashboard for sales/marketing with filtering/search, and has experience collaborating with designers in Figma while iterating quickly in a startup environment.”

“Software engineer actively using AI-first development workflows, including Cursor, prompt engineering, and multi-agent setups, to dramatically compress development time. Most notably, they say they built a Regression Optimizer product end-to-end from scratch and used multi-agent approaches to improve troubleshooting and response quality.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience delivering an end-to-end NIH application using Angular and scalable .NET Core microservices backed by MySQL. Has hands-on depth in complex approval/workflow implementations (RBAC + workflow engine) and performance tuning for million-record, data-driven systems, plus 5 years with Java/Spring Boot microservices and React.”

“Application security engineer/advisor with hands-on experience securing AWS-based, containerized services and embedding SAST/DAST/SCA and container scanning into GitHub/GitLab CI/CD. Drove measurable outcomes (50% faster vuln triage, 40% fewer misconfigs) and has deep operational troubleshooting experience in Kubernetes (agent failures due to CPU throttling/network policies), plus pragmatic strategies to reduce developer friction and handle API rate limits.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in React, Node.js, and TypeScript

3y exp

“Frontend-focused engineer who has led complex React/TypeScript analytics dashboards end-to-end, including a Next.js internal customer dashboard scaled to thousands of daily users. Emphasizes scalable architecture (feature-based structure, typed models, React Query/Zustand), strong quality gates (Jest/RTL, linting, monitoring with Sentry/LogRocket), and performance optimization, with tight collaboration with design/product via Figma and rapid prototyping.”

“Analytics and automation candidate with experience delivering data and AI solutions for major public-sector and enterprise clients including STC, Abu Dhabi Ports, and the Ministry of Culture. They combine SQL, Python OCR pipelines, dashboards, and cloud LLMs to turn messy unstructured data into scalable workflows, with reported impact including 70% faster document processing and 80-85% reduction in manual resume screening.”

“Full-stack engineer working on a medical practice SaaS, who owned an end-to-end charge entry module handling patient charges/payment workflows and complex client-side data transformations. Also built a fintech rating platform with real-time WebSocket streaming and TradingView-based charting, and has 10 years of university experience mentoring student "startup" capstone projects under tight deadlines.”

“Unity developer with hands-on experience evolving enemy AI from event-driven logic to FSMs and ultimately behavior trees, improving both performance and debuggability while making enemy reactions feel faster and more consistent to players. Has built multiple multiplayer games using Photon PUN 2 and Unity NetCode, focusing on server-authoritative synchronization and minimizing network traffic; also applies AI tools to accelerate prototyping and diagnose complex issues like OPC UA tag mismatches.”

“Unity developer who has published multiple games (e.g., "Hole people", "beads out") and reports building nearly everything inside the games himself, including gameplay, remote config, and A/B testing. Also built "Age of battles PvP" with backend server, economy, multiplayer, analytics, and blockchain/Web3/NFT functionality, including custom verification logic to mitigate third-party transaction delays. Currently earning about $3,000/month due to covering both backend and Unity/multiplayer responsibilities.”

“Robotics-focused engineer with hands-on experience building a lab robotic arm, combining software engineering with circuit design and hardware integration (DC motors, Raspberry Pi, gamepad control). Has worked on mapping (GMapping) debugging and implemented MQTT-based communication between Raspberry Pi and ESP32, plus used MATLAB/Simulink to simulate STM32 behavior for system-level testing.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Developer specializing in web apps, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure

Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada4y exp

“Frontend engineer (~4 years) who led an admin dashboard for potato farmers end-to-end, integrating real-time and historical weather data to drive disease-severity predictions. Built scientifically validated calculation pipelines (FAO Penman-Monteith, late blight models), rigorous Cypress/unit testing, and print/PDF-ready reporting, while optimizing performance and API load with debouncing, caching, and feature-flagged rollouts.”

“Unity developer with several years of experience building and publishing games, including an 8-month largely solo FPS demo featuring physics-heavy interactions and a procedural enemy reaction system blending animation and ragdoll. Has prototyped VR interactions with XR Interaction Toolkit and explored Meta SDK integration for Meta devices, and uses AI assistants to speed up prototyping and performance optimization.”
