Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in cloud-native web apps and APIs

Tampa, FL5y exp

“Backend engineer with experience building microservice-based systems that integrate LLM workflows (code review suggestions, documentation generation, test scaffolding) using REST APIs, Celery/Redis, and OpenTelemetry for observability. Demonstrates hands-on database and performance optimization in PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy (bulk inserts, lock mitigation, cursor-based pagination) plus multi-tenant data isolation via tenant-aware models, middleware scoping, and schema/row-level strategies.”

Intern Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud data pipelines and internal tools

1y exp

“Built an internal Meta tool (HiVA Bot) for notification customization and end-to-end task tracking around advertiser-reported issues, including chat-thread creation, org-hierarchy opt-ins, SLA reminders, and search/typeahead features. Implemented the system with a Java/Spring Boot microservices approach and asynchronous patterns, and supported adoption via internal wiki documentation.”

“Amazon engineer who owned customer-facing Alexa features and built automation-heavy delivery practices (API/service-level testing in CI/CD) to ship quickly without sacrificing stability. Also built an internal self-service feature management/beta access platform (Angular + Spring Boot + event publishing) that replaced a multi-team ticket workflow with instant, auditable operations, and has deep microservices/Kafka experience with strong observability and reliability patterns.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG assistant for enterprise internal document search (PDFs, knowledge bases, structured data), addressing real-world issues like noisy documents, hallucinations, and latency with grounded prompting, retrieval-confidence fallbacks, and performance optimizations. Also partnered with compliance and business teams at JPMc to deliver a solution aligned with regulatory constraints, supported by monitoring, feedback loops, and systematic evaluation.”

“AI/ML engineer (Cognizant) who built a production, real-time credit card fraud detection platform combining deep-learning anomaly detection with an LLM-based explanation layer. Strong focus on regulated deployment: addressed class imbalance and feature drift, and added guardrails (SHAP/structured inputs, fine-tuning on analyst reports, rule-based validation) to keep explanations accurate and compliant. Orchestrated the full pipeline with Airflow + Databricks/Spark and used MLflow/Prometheus plus A/B and shadow deployments for measurable reliability.”

“AI/full-stack engineer with experience delivering production-critical healthcare AI at Roche (digital pathology imaging platform using Microsoft Gigapath for cancer diagnosis) and building scalable LLM-backed products. Strong in designing async AI backends (Django/Celery/Postgres/Redis on GCP), reliability engineering (Datadog, incident response), and agent-style document analysis workflows with evaluation loops.”

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

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Full-stack/platform engineer who has owned real-time analytics products end-to-end and built scalable TypeScript/React + Node.js systems using event-driven and microservices architectures (Kafka/RabbitMQ). Also created a widely adopted Go CLI that standardized AWS/Terraform provisioning across multiple teams, cutting environment setup from days to minutes through opinionated defaults, documentation, and cross-org partnerships.”

Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in LLMs and RAG for healthcare

Remote, USA2y exp

“AI Engineer (Medtronic) who deployed a production RAG-based clinical assistant grounded in curated biomedical literature (no patient-identifiable data). Deep hands-on experience orchestrating and hardening LLM workflows with LangChain/LangGraph, including stateful agentic flows, rigorous testing, and evaluation; reports a 72% accuracy improvement through retrieval enhancements (query rewriting, multi-query expansion, MMR reranking).”

“ML/AI engineer with strong end-to-end production ownership across predictive ML and Generative AI use cases. They built a churn prediction platform that cut churn 12% and preserved about $1.2M in annual revenue, and also shipped a RAG-based support assistant that reduced ticket resolution time 30% while improving agent satisfaction and onboarding speed.”

Abhirup Chakraborty

Junior Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, AI, and search

Champaign, IL3y exp

“Built a complex graph-based search engine to find connections between people and has hands-on experience designing multi-agent coding pipelines that move features through implementation, test generation, testing, and sanity checks. Stands out for treating AI agents like an engineering team, with shared-memory coordination, queue signaling, and completeness-focused guardrails to improve reliability and reduce ambiguity.”

“Backend/platform engineer with experience at Fidelity and PayPal, spanning financial systems, payment pipelines, and regulated AI workflows. They’ve owned large-scale deployments end-to-end, including a brokerage platform for 150,000+ accounts, and have hands-on experience integrating OpenAI into internal research tooling with compliance-safe validation and human review.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of both classical ML and GenAI systems in production. They built an end-to-end churn prediction service on AWS and also shipped RAG-based document search/summarization features, with clear experience in monitoring, hallucination reduction, cost/latency optimization, and creating shared Python/LLM infrastructure used across teams.”
