Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and full-stack web development

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Backend engineer at Electric Hydrogen who built a serverless device-log ingestion and processing platform in Python/Flask, scaling throughput (4x peak ingestion) while keeping sub-300ms API latency. Strong in Postgres/SQLAlchemy performance (partitioning, materialized views) and production ML integration (ONNX model served via FastAPI microservice with async batch inference, Redis feature caching, and drift monitoring via S3/Lambda). Experienced designing secure multi-tenant systems with schema-per-tenant isolation and KMS-backed encryption.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has built a rule-service platform on AWS and evolved it into an agentic RAG system using LangChain, ReAct, tool calling, and LLM-as-judge review. Notable for combining heavy AI-assisted development with production safeguards like manual CR, CloudWatch monitoring, fallback strategies, benchmark testing, and user-feedback-driven model improvement.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and cloud-native microservices

Novi, MI4y exp

“Backend engineer (4 years) who built an end-to-end Python backend for a patent-pending in-car massager/heater system, including GraphQL data modeling and Bluetooth integration with an ESP32 microcontroller (reverse engineered a niche protocol). Also has strong platform experience: on-prem Kubernetes/CI-CD (Jenkins/GitLab, exploring ArgoCD GitOps), Terraform-based infra workflows, a RabbitMQ messaging library used across microservices, and an on-prem migration of ~30 critical applications with rollback/parallel-run strategy.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in AI agents, RAG pipelines, and semiconductor systems

Taipei, Taiwan3y exp

“Built a web-based interface that connects an internal bug system to an LLM for initial debugging and issue classification, aiming to boost QA and software engineer efficiency while balancing latency and accuracy. Worked as a one-person project and managed constraints like limited hardware and difficulty extracting team debugging context, relying on manager communication and rapid modeling to validate direction.”

Executive AI/ML technology leader specializing in healthcare, biotech, and legal AI

Irvine, CA17y exp

“Repeat founder and startup advisor with experience spanning academic, health tech, legal tech, sports, and gaming. Has participated in fundraising and due diligence and has built companies, engineering teams, and software platforms from scratch, with a strong product-design-first approach to product-market fit and market selection.”

“Entrepreneurial consultant who relocated to Boston to build a practice from scratch through intensive networking and pro-bono work, leading to being listed as a trusted provider in Leader Bank's CEO toolbox and generating qualified leads. Uses structured strategic frameworks (OODA, Porter's Five Forces, SWOT) to evaluate risk, resource lift, and enterprise/customer impact, with a strong ownership-and-accountability orientation.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AI-powered developer tooling and backend platforms

Marin, CA10y exp

“Backend/product engineer from Postman Flows who has owned complex platform features end-to-end, including production versioning and an LLM-powered flow-building orchestration layer. Stands out for combining product-minded backend design, agentic AI workflow implementation, and strong production reliability work, including re-architecting a failing event pipeline from in-memory to managed queues.”

“CTO-minded builder seeking to join a startup; previously created an AI-driven platform that abstracted away DevOps and infrastructure for drug discovery researchers. Emphasizes high-leverage, zero-to-one execution with managed cloud/open-source tooling, and a strong reliability/reproducibility mindset validated against existing scientific pipelines.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in GPU inference and LLM platforms

San Francisco, CA5y exp

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered platform that turns models into scalable REST/gRPC APIs, focusing on keeping GPU-backed inference fast and stable during traffic spikes. Experienced with AWS orchestration (EKS/ECS/Step Functions), safe model rollouts, and production-grade monitoring/testing for reliable AI agents and workflows.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned a production recruiting platform end-to-end (TypeScript/Node microservices for scraping/cleaning/serving job data, RabbitMQ for spike handling, MongoDB + Elasticsearch, AWS containers) with pragmatic CI, logging/alerts, and Docker Compose E2E tests. Also operated high-traffic event pipelines during a Binance internship using Kafka + Redis idempotency, with strong observability and failure-mode/rollback/degradation practices, and has experience designing developer-friendly REST APIs and resilient browser automation for E2E flows.”

“Technology-first venture builder with strong familiarity in the VC/accelerator landscape, specializing in greenfield innovation, M&A, and large-scale transformation/modernization. Described building a venture-funded retail banking greenfield startup to integrate lending-as-a-service for SME lending while meeting federal and local financial services compliance requirements.”
