Senior Full-Stack/AI Engineer specializing in mobile and web product development

San Francisco, CA14y exp

“Built an end-to-end mobile + web Q&A marketplace connecting users with professionals, including real-time chat and Stripe-based monetization (products/subscriptions). Hands-on with scaling Firebase/Firestore (subcollections, composite indexing, pagination) and mobile caching/sync challenges. Also created an internal AI-driven report generator that turned chatbot outputs into curated graphs and PDFs for marketing, iterating based on stakeholder feedback.”

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.”

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).”

Entry-level Software Engineer specializing in backend and cloud systems

New York City, NY1y exp

“Backend engineer who built and scaled a zero-to-one social product backend using Supabase (Postgres, Edge Functions, Auth, Realtime) plus Neo4j for graph-based friend recommendations. Demonstrates strong production rigor: staged rollouts with metrics, incident rollback/postmortems, and complex schema refactors using expand-contract/dual-write with reconciliation and feature flags. Notably proactive about edge cases like geo-boundary realtime delivery and idempotent retry safety.”

Senior Unity Developer specializing in AI/LLM systems and multiplayer VR

Orlando, FL11y exp

“Backend/data engineer focused on AWS-native Python systems: built a FastAPI microservice on ECS/Fargate serving real-time analytics at millions of daily requests with strong reliability (OAuth2/JWT, retries/timeouts, correlation IDs) and autoscaling. Also delivered Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines to curated S3 Parquet/Athena with schema evolution + data quality controls, owned Airflow pipeline incidents, and has a track record of measurable performance and cost optimizations (e.g., ~80%+ query latency reduction; reduced logging/NAT/Fargate spend).”

“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.”

“Group CTO at Airobod who combines executive-level engineering leadership with hands-on technical depth across architecture, cloud, performance debugging, and AI-enabled platforms. He has led platform modernization, scaled engineering organizations in high-growth environments, and implemented rigorous multi-tenant SaaS architecture with zero cross-tenant data leaks over 12 months.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across Python/Flask microservices and AWS serverless/data platforms (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Glue/PySpark). Demonstrated strong reliability and operations mindset (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts/circuit breakers, CloudWatch/SNS alerting) and measurable performance wins (SQL report runtime cut from 10 minutes to 30 seconds). Seeking ~$150k base and cannot travel for onsite meetings for the next 5–6 months due to family medical constraints.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building a real-time notification API on Flask/Celery/Postgres and scaling it on AWS with Docker, Redis queuing, and SQLAlchemy query optimization. Also delivered AWS serverless deployments (Lambda) using Terraform + GitHub Actions and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines from S3 to Redshift with CloudWatch monitoring and DataBrew data quality checks.”

“Frontend engineer who led a React/TypeScript real-time live-streaming web platform end-to-end, including interactive chat, live polling, and monetization (subscriptions/tipping via Authorize.Net). Built a scalable component system (Tailwind + Storybook) and handled complex real-time state with optimistic UI patterns across WebSocket and server-validated events, collaborating closely with product/design (Figma) and QA in an agile release cadence.”

“Application-focused software engineer working on AI-heavy products, with hands-on experience building end-to-end document processing, retrieval, and configurable workflow systems. Particularly strong in combining React/TypeScript UX, FastAPI/Postgres backend design, and LLM workflow reliability improvements through validation, prompt iteration, and reusable abstractions.”

“Senior frontend engineer who led end-to-end delivery of a large ecommerce platform at Foschini Group and built a complex healthcare operations dashboard for UK-based Ceracare. Strong in React/TypeScript/Next.js architecture, design systems, and performance at scale, with a pragmatic approach to state management (React Query/Redux) and quality (Storybook + testing + code reviews).”
