Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and FinTech analytics

Maryland, USA5y exp

“Engineer with a pragmatic, high-leverage approach to AI-assisted development: uses AI and multi-agent workflows aggressively for implementation and internal tooling, while maintaining strict human oversight for user-facing features. Stands out for treating agents like junior engineers, breaking work into actionable tasks, and combining robust testing, local E2E validation, and feature-flag rollouts to safely ship production code.”

“Backend engineer focused on reliability and production operations, with hands-on experience implementing an outbox pattern to keep database updates and downstream events consistent. They also described diagnosing transaction-related latency under heavy client traffic and using monitoring data to validate performance improvements, showing a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to scaling integrations.”

“Robotics software engineer from Bigbot who led localization and perception for an outdoor autonomous delivery robot, building ROS2/Nav2-based autonomy with EKF sensor fusion (IMU/odometry/GPS) and perception-driven dynamic costmaps. Experienced taking systems from Gazebo simulation to real-robot deployment, optimizing real-time behavior via logging-driven debugging and latency reduction, and integrating heterogeneous comms (MAVROS/MAVLink, UART/CAN, MQTT) for distributed and multi-robot setups.”

Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in React, Node.js, and AWS

Halifax, Canada11y exp

“Frontend engineer who led the Dash Merchant App and Backoffice platform (React/TypeScript/Redux) supporting $50M+ in monthly transactions. Focused on scalable architecture and reliability—introduced typed API layers, centralized error handling, and performance optimizations (including ~40% load-time reduction) while driving team adoption through incremental refactors, templates, and pairing.”

“Built a LangGraph-based, tool-routing LLM chatbot to deliver fast, trustworthy investment-stock insights (including tariff impact) and deployed it to production on Snowflake after initially developing in Azure with AI Search and the Microsoft Agent Framework. Improved routing robustness by moving from LLM-based decisions to a deterministic router backed by schema-relationship graphs and YAML metadata, and ran the project iteratively with non-technical stakeholders over an 8-month engagement.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered text-to-SQL/document intelligence chatbot on AWS that lets non-technical business users query complex enterprise databases in plain English. Demonstrates deep practical expertise in schema-aware prompting, embeddings-based schema retrieval, SQL safety/validation guardrails, and rigorous offline/online evaluation with human-in-the-loop approvals for risky queries.”

“Engineer focused on real-time collaborative canvas products and AI-assisted design workflows, with hands-on ownership of both multiplayer infrastructure and LLM-powered generation systems. They combine strong TypeScript/full-stack architecture with production-grade AI evals and observability, and cite meaningful outcomes including zero sync-conflict bugs, rollout to 50,000+ DAUs, and major gains in onboarding speed and engagement.”

“AWS-focused backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building serverless APIs (Lambda/API Gateway) secured with Cognito/JWT, deploying via Terraform + CI/CD, and managing secrets with Secrets Manager/Parameter Store. Also built AWS Glue ETL from S3 to RDS with schema evolution and data-quality controls, modernized a monolith into microservices using parallel testing, and delivered major SQL performance gains (minutes to seconds) while owning incident response for batch pipelines.”

“Backend engineer who rebuilt and refactored high-traffic systems at Phenom using Java/Spring Boot/Play and also designs Python/FastAPI services. Focused on measurable reliability and performance gains through DB/query optimization, async processing, and strong observability, with disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, parallel runs, rollback) and security patterns including token auth and row-level security.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-enhanced version of the WeDAA platform to auto-generate microservice architecture diagrams and support code generation from user prompts, including a practical solution for non-overlapping canvas object placement via coordinate templates. Experienced in diagnosing agentic workflow failures using AWS Strands agents with feature-flagged debug logging, and frequently supports sales through tailored demos and POCs to drive adoption.”

“Built and deployed an LLM product called "Content Craft" combining BART-based summarization with a RAG Q&A chatbot using LangChain, embeddings, and a vector database. Has hands-on MLOps experience containerizing and serving models with FastAPI and running them on Kubernetes with monitoring, self-healing, and autoscaling, and has practical experience reducing hallucinations through structured prompting.”

“Software engineer who deployed and stabilized a real-time analytics platform at Senecio Software, focusing on production reliability, observability, and performance under load. Experienced debugging issues spanning distributed services and networking (e.g., tracing timeouts to packet loss from misconfiguration) and extending Python (FastAPI/Django) APIs for customer-specific analytics features in a configurable, maintainable way.”

“Built and deployed a production-grade, multi-agent Text-to-SQL assistant that lets non-technical stakeholders query large enterprise databases in natural language. Uses Pinecone-based schema retrieval + LLM reasoning (Gemini/Claude/GPT) with a dedicated validation agent (schema/syntax checks and safe dry runs) to reduce hallucinations and improve reliability, while optimizing latency and cost via async execution and embedding caching.”

“Backend engineer who evolved and migrated a real-time smartwatch telemetry ingestion/analytics platform in a healthcare context, focusing on reliability under poor network conditions. Experienced with Python/FastAPI and Java microservices, PostgreSQL performance tuning, and production-grade security (JWT/OAuth, RBAC, RLS) with incremental rollout and parallel-run migration strategies.”

“Full-stack engineer at an early-stage EdTech startup building an AI-tutoring product; owns most of a Django REST backend, CI/CD, and key customer-facing features like FERPA-compliant auth, subscription payments, and real-time LaTeX input/rendering. Also built a /rPlace-style real-time multiplayer canvas (PolyPlace) using microservices, WebSockets, and event sourcing, with performance-focused client rendering (zoom/pan/viewport-based updates) and stress testing.”
