“Full-stack/AI product engineer who has shipped both a production-style React finance app and multiple LLM-powered systems end-to-end. Particularly strong in turning early-stage AI concepts into production workflows, including a Bedrock-based multi-turn chatbot with durable session memory and a medical credentialing document parser that cut pipeline failures by 50%+ on large, messy real-world files.”

“Built a technically demanding OS simulator dashboard in React/TypeScript that visualized memory, CPU registers, and processes with 100ms live updates. Demonstrated strong frontend performance instincts by pre-caching hundreds of DOM elements, using CSS Grid for precise layout, and debugging tricky address-translation and context-switch synchronization issues.”

“Senior product leader who helped transform Submittable from a single-program grant tool into a multi-program impact platform, driving ARR from $20M to $70M+ while improving retention and margins. Particularly strong in enterprise platform strategy and human-centered AI, with a clear philosophy of using AI to augment expert judgment rather than replace it.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered agent for supply chain operations that integrates ERP data and automates multi-step decision-making with tool calling, state management, and structured JSON outputs. Emphasizes production reliability (guardrails, fallbacks, monitoring, idempotency) and reports strong business impact: 40% faster decisions, 30% higher throughput, and 25% efficiency gains.”

“AI/full-stack builder with a track record of shipping practical LLM products in both hackathon and professional settings. Built ScoutR, an agentic football scouting platform that won Best Use of Gemini at HackCU 2026, and at Merkle shipped a GPT-4-based review-tagging tool that cut analyst tagging time by 90%.”

Mid-level Frontend Engineer specializing in FinTech web applications

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“Frontend engineer with enterprise experience at Silicon Valley Bank / First Citizens Bank, focused on complex React and TypeScript interfaces. Has built multi-application workflow switching, optimized production rendering performance with profiling tools, and delivered map-based dashboards handling large datasets while keeping UX responsive and maintainable.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-driven data harmonization/record-matching pipeline for pharmaceutical datasets, combining normalization, embeddings/vector search, and an LLM validation step. Emphasizes production reliability via guardrails, confidence thresholds, idempotent/retryable stages, and human-in-the-loop fallbacks, with monitoring focused on manual review and error rates to reduce false positives.”

“Senior full-stack engineer with strong healthcare domain experience who has shipped an Azure OpenAI RAG-based patient medication support chatbot to production, driving ~10K queries/month and a reported 38% reduction in call center volume. Also builds polished real-time React/TypeScript pharmacy tooling and operates large-scale Python/Spark ETL pipelines (~12M records/day) with strong API design, observability, and cloud deployment experience across Azure/Kubernetes and AWS.”
