“Internship experience at Paycom owning an end-to-end personalized course recommendation feature for an LMS, spanning SQL-based data pipelines, ML integration, and FastAPI REST services for real-time recommendations. Focused on production tradeoffs (latency vs. accuracy), scaling/SQL optimization, and post-launch iteration driven by engagement metrics.”

“UK-based Unity developer who served as the sole developer building VR training scenarios for the oil & gas industry, deploying to Meta Quest and Pico 4 via OpenXR. Experienced translating complex real-world procedures (e.g., offshore rigging/lifting) into interactive VR flows using storyboards, C# scripting, and iterative client testing; also built a Unity web-based SCORM-compliant training course integrating with a SCORM backend via JavaScript.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building Python/Django APIs on PostgreSQL and delivering AWS serverless + containerized architectures (API Gateway/Lambda, IaC, CI/CD, secrets/config). Has operated AWS Glue pipelines ingesting S3 log/3rd-party data with schema evolution monitoring, modernized legacy batch logic into API-based services via parallel-run parity testing, and improved Postgres query performance by several seconds; prefers fully remote work and targets $120–130k base.”

“Frontend engineer with enterprise B2B and healthcare web experience, specializing in React/TypeScript architectures for complex, permissioned workflows and data-heavy admin dashboards. Has modernized legacy codebases with improved state management (Redux/Zustand/Rematch, IndexedDB caching) and shipped fast Next.js SEO/performance-focused builds under tight deadlines, including measurable bug-ticket reduction via improved error reporting.”

“Data/ML engineer from HCLTech who modernized enterprise data by linking fragmented financial and supply-chain data across SAP/SQL Server/Snowflake using NLP entity linking and embeddings (FAISS). Delivered measurable impact including ~40% reduction in manual error-log triage and entity-linking accuracy improvements from ~86% to ~93%, with results surfaced in Power BI for real-time analytics.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience at Western Union and Aptly (for Microsoft), building production systems spanning React/TypeScript frontends and .NET Core/microservices backends. Has delivered an engineer-facing diagnostics/configuration console with TanStack Query caching/background refresh and has hands-on experience hardening transaction-processing workflows with Kafka, Azure Functions, and Resilience4j, plus Postgres modeling and query optimization.”

“Has experience working with venture capital firms evaluating target companies for potential acquisitions, focusing on technology maturity, technical stack, and team/human resources assessment.”

“Full-stack .NET/Azure engineer with end-to-end ownership of policy management microservices (React/TypeScript + C#/ASP.NET Core + Kubernetes) delivering significant performance and quality improvements (e.g., response time -35%, defects -30%, CSAT +18%). Also productionized an AI-assisted analyst workflow using Azure OpenAI with a RAG pipeline on Azure Cognitive Search, including rigorous prompt versioning, guardrails, and measurable impact (review time -40%, errors -55%). Led incremental legacy modernization via Strangler Fig and dual-write migrations with zero production regressions.”

“Backend engineer experienced in evolving high-scale legacy on-prem systems into cloud-native, event-driven microservices on AWS/Kubernetes (noted peak traffic ~1.5M QPS). Strong focus on reliability engineering and operational excellence—SLO-driven observability, GitOps/canary rollouts, chaos testing, and preventing cascading failures (e.g., retry-storm mitigation).”

“Built and deployed a production GenAI resume screening and matching system for Florida Atlantic University, focused on improving recruiter efficiency and search relevance. Demonstrates strong RAG engineering (embeddings, query rewriting, metadata filtering, threshold tuning) plus practical reliability work (grounding constraints, fallbacks, and evaluation using real user queries) using Python REST APIs and orchestration frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex.”

“Founding engineer at a startup building LLM/agentic workflows for public-safety customers, with hands-on experience delivering a hybrid on-prem + secure cloud solution to meet strict compliance needs. Implemented OpenTelemetry observability for multimodal agentic systems behind closed networks and used the resulting traces to optimize prompting/token usage for customer-specific security integrations. Regularly runs technical workshops and supports pre/post-sales by translating integration feedback into product roadmap decisions.”

“QA tester with ~9 years of IT/game QA experience testing console titles across PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, with a track record of finding platform-specific stability/performance issues (e.g., traced a Switch FPS drop/crash to a memory leak before submission).

“Backend/data engineer who built a production analytics data service (Python/FastAPI on AWS/Postgres with PySpark ETL) handling millions of records per day and drove major latency improvements (10–15s to <2s) via indexing, Redis caching, and shifting aggregations into ETL. Also shipped an LLM-based natural-language-to-SQL assistant end-to-end with strong guardrails (schema restrictions, read-only validation, RBAC, masking) and designed a multi-step agent workflow with verification and fallback logic.”

“Junior web developer turned applied AI builder who has shipped both user-facing web UX improvements (Vue.js + Drupal/Twig) and production LLM systems. Built a Google Cloud-hosted Llama/Ollama RAG customer-service chatbot with citation-based guardrails and a metrics-driven eval loop, and also delivered a large-scale Python pipeline analyzing 14M Amazon consumer reviews for flavor-trend detection.”

“Built and owned a production RAG search/Q&A platform at Data Integrity First for a client with a large, hard-to-search document library, deployed on AWS.
