Principal Software Engineer specializing in SaaS architecture and cloud platforms

Hammond, IN23y exp

“Veteran B2B SaaS engineer/technical leader with 13+ years in production systems across medical, legal, and academic conference markets. Stands out for combining hands-on full-stack and microservices architecture work with measurable business impact, including leading an early startup internationalization effort that more than doubled revenue in under a year and modernizing a declining conference platform into the market leader in its niche.”

“Data engineer in financial services (Northern Trust) who has worked across ingestion, transformation, data quality, orchestration, and serving on AWS (S3/Glue/EMR) with Airflow. Highlights include processing ~15M transactions with validation/anomaly detection for regulatory reporting and improving Snowflake query performance by 27% for risk/compliance reporting. Also built a personal real-time streaming service (FastAPI, Kafka, Redis, Cassandra) and uses production reliability patterns like blue-green/atomic swaps and robust retry strategies.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and Mortgage systems

Auburn Hills, MI3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with deep AWS serverless and reliability experience in fintech/underwriting systems, including eligibility scoring and dynamic rule deployments. Built and productionized an LLM-powered incident RCA assistant (Bedrock Claude 3 + custom RAG + React) achieving 92% precision and ~75% MTTR reduction, with mature guardrails (evals, drift monitoring, HITL, audit logs) and strong operational rigor (canaries, chaos testing, DLQ remediation).”

Executive Technology Leader specializing in Cloud Platforms, DevOps, and AI/ML

Tampa, FL21y exp

“Early-stage startup CTO helping build an AI-powered parenting assistant app with features spanning advice, shopping, task management, and inventory management. The team is currently testing an MVP with their network while the candidate simultaneously learns the seed/Series fundraising process through Connectd and early investor conversations.”

“Analytics-focused candidate with hands-on experience in both supply chain data and AI product analytics. They have built SQL and Python pipelines for messy ERP/inventory data as well as high-volume user event data, and have driven experimentation, retention measurement, and dashboarding for AI avatar and voice/image cloning features.”

Senior Backend Engineer specializing in cloud-native .NET microservices

Frisco, TX8y exp

“Healthcare-focused full-stack engineer who has spent their career in small startup-like teams, owning products end-to-end from business requirements to architecture, implementation, deployment, and support. They’ve built critical hospital-facing systems including patient intake, insurance eligibility, appointment search at scale, and configurable multi-tenant admin platforms using React, Node.js, .NET, AWS, MySQL, and Elasticsearch.”

“Candidate has hands-on experience at Cognizant building production-grade automation and integration solutions across Python ML services, Java microservices, Kafka, and Selenium-based UI testing. They stand out for a strong reliability mindset—covering failure modes, observability, flaky test hardening, and translating ambiguous payment-system business processes into resilient end-to-end automated workflows.”

“Healthcare-focused ML/AI engineer who has built production voice agents and clinical question-answering systems end-to-end, from experimentation through deployment, observability, and iteration. Particularly strong in making LLM systems reliable in real workflows via RAG, fine-tuning, guardrails, evaluation pipelines, and shared Python tooling; cites ~20% clinical QA accuracy gains and ~40% faster physician decision turnaround.”

“Full-stack developer who has built portfolio products from scratch in healthcare and recruiting, including a clinic appointment system and a dual-role job platform. Stands out for combining ASP.NET Core, Angular, SQL Server, and JWT-based authorization with strong architectural thinking around role isolation, relational modeling, and maintainable service-layer design.”

“AI/ML engineer who led Impacter AI’s production deployment of a specialized outreach LLM (CharmedLLM) fine-tuned on GPT-4.1, cutting API costs ~40% while boosting outreach effectiveness ~60%. Built the supporting MLOps and data infrastructure (MLflow, Kubernetes, PySpark, Kafka) and has agentic AI experience from University of Dayton, using LangChain + RAG and vector search (Pinecone) to improve reliability and reduce hallucinations.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer with production experience at Allstate building an end-to-end document intelligence workflow for insurance operations—automating document intake, classification, and risk signal extraction. Emphasizes high-reliability design for regulated/high-stakes outputs using schema enforcement, confidence thresholds, validation rules, and human-in-the-loop routing, with metric-driven offline evaluation and production monitoring.”

Principal Real-Time 3D Software Engineer specializing in Unity/Unreal simulation and HMI

Dubai, UAE16y exp

“Gameplay-focused Unity developer who prioritizes tight, fair-feeling controls—implemented a custom raycast-based character movement system (avoiding Unity physics) to make platforming more deterministic and difficulty tuning more reliable. Has prototyped multiplayer in both Unity (Photon tic-tac-toe replication prototype) and Unreal Engine (shared workshop/crafting environment), and actively uses AI tools (Copilot + asset generation) to speed prototyping and documentation.”

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.”

“UNIX operations-focused candidate with hands-on AIX/Solaris troubleshooting and Bash automation experience, including resolving a production connectivity outage caused by a host table IP misconfiguration. Has supported a re-platform migration of a home-grown application by working directly with developers and running parallel testing prior to cutover; no direct IBM Power (VIOS/HMC/LPAR) or NIM/PowerHA experience.”
