Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure

Atlanta, GA5y exp

“GCP-focused database/platform engineer with hands-on production experience operating Cloud SQL at scale, especially around performance tuning, reliability, and day-2 operations. Has supported migration from a single-instance database setup to a more scalable GCP architecture and built Terraform/Python automation for provisioning and recovery workflows.”

“AI/full-stack product engineer currently owning Fleck Intelligent Survey Chatbot at E15, a production RAG analytics assistant embedded in Compass Group dashboards for 300+ field operators. Stands out for combining LLM orchestration, analytics engineering, and strong systems thinking—cutting hallucinated numeric answers from 14% to 2%, reducing backlog 62%, and previously delivering a low-level protocol redesign at Amadeus that cut P99 latency by 56%.”

“Full-stack/backend-heavy engineer with experience across real-time product systems and high-scale financial analytics, citing work on Flashcode, Netflix, and Bank of America via TCS. Particularly strong in Kafka-based event-driven architecture, streaming pipelines, and production performance tuning, with concrete wins including a 15% latency reduction and scaling reliability from 30k to 50k+ concurrent events.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an end-to-end real-time engineering dashboard for Medtronic robotic surgical systems, streaming high-frequency sensor/kinematic data via Python WebSockets to a React/TypeScript UI. Differentiates through performance/reliability practices (stable core vs experimental layer, observability, caching) and high-impact 3D visualization + session playback that became part of engineers' regular bench-testing workflows.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and analytics platforms

Remote, USA4y exp

“JavaScript engineer with a track record of diagnosing and fixing real performance issues end-to-end—profiled a charting library freeze on large datasets, rewrote layout logic to batch updates, added tests, and got the PR merged upstream. Also has experience stabilizing backend services in ambiguous, fast-moving projects by defining priorities, tightening API contracts, and owning delivery through deployment.”

“GenAI/ML engineer with hands-on experience building production financial intelligence and document summarization systems at Citibank. Stands out for combining LLM fine-tuning, hybrid RAG, multi-agent workflows, and strong MLOps/observability practices to deliver measurable business impact, including 60% faster analyst retrieval, 31% higher precision, and 99%+ uptime.”

“AI/full-stack engineer with hands-on experience shipping both computer vision and LLM products in production across marketplace and healthcare settings. Built an automated device grading system at Northladder and improved a Deloitte healthcare chatbot using RAG, with a strong emphasis on grounding, validation, uncertainty handling, and human review for high-impact decisions.”

“ML/AI engineer with strong production ownership across predictive ML and Generative AI systems. They’ve delivered measurable business impact through real-time churn/drop-off prediction, RAG-based document QA, and scalable LLM optimization, with a consistent focus on reliability, safety, latency, and developer productivity.”

“Backend engineer in airport operations who built a highly customizable BFF-based system connecting airport staff workflows to a baggage sortation engine. Their architecture cut per-airport customization from 100-150 engineering hours to 1-5 hours, improved long-running operation performance by 45%, and shipped in 4 months instead of 6. They also explored AI-assisted backend customization with human validation and test-based safeguards.”

“Early-career/new-grad candidate who built TrendScout AI, an evidence-first market intelligence agent that ingests messy news, extracts entities/events, builds a Neo4j knowledge graph, and answers questions via RAG with citations. Achieved ~95% retrieval relevance by combining ChromaDB semantic search with graph-based retrieval and validating outputs through human evaluation and guardrails to prevent hallucinations.”

“Full-stack engineer with financial services experience (Lincoln Financial) who owned a customer-facing financial portal end-to-end using TypeScript/React and Node/Express. Has hands-on microservices and RabbitMQ event-driven workflows, addressing scale issues like retries/duplicates with idempotency and traceable logging, and built an internal real-time ops/support dashboard to improve monitoring and incident response.”

“Infrastructure/operations engineer with hands-on production IBM Power/AIX (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC) and PowerHA/HACMP clustering experience, including DLPAR changes, failover testing, and incident recovery. Also delivers modern cloud DevOps work—GitHub Actions CI/CD for Docker-to-Kubernetes on AWS and Terraform-based provisioning of core AWS infrastructure (VPC/EKS/RDS/IAM) with controlled rollouts and drift checks.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has built production Spring Boot APIs on AWS (JWT auth, Redis/MySQL) and solved a real-world silent data integrity issue by implementing idempotency keys plus DB constraints/transactions. Also shipped an LLM-based document Q&A feature using a RAG pipeline with evaluation + human review, and designed multi-step agent workflows with verification, retries, and escalation guardrails.”

“Built and shipped production LLM agents including an AI patient appointment assistant for Kyron Medical that automated specialist matching and end-to-end booking with email/SMS confirmations and a voice mode. Strong focus on production reliability (double-booking prevention with DB constraints and pre-write checks), deterministic multi-step orchestration with LangGraph, and rigorous monitoring/evaluation using LangSmith trace replay for prompt regression testing.”

Shashwat Negi

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML and full-stack systems

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Data Scientist (2–3 years) at ZS Associates who has built and productionized agentic LLM systems, including a LangGraph-based multi-LLM prompt-optimization pipeline for entity extraction deployed as a Spring Boot microservice via Jenkins. Also built an Insightmate.ai chatbot and improved its RAG accuracy by diagnosing vector retrieval issues and implementing HyDE query expansion, while partnering with sales and pharma stakeholders to drive adoption (e.g., Zimmer Biomet platform migration into a multi-year partnership).”

“Built from scratch a social media analytics MVP featuring an LLM-powered semantic search agent that became a core part of the product experience within a 6-week deadline. Stands out for focusing on production readiness early—retrieval-first design, explicit tool constraints, structured outputs, idempotent services, and practical eval/monitoring loops rather than demo-only AI.”

Lokesh Jain

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in supply chain and healthcare systems

Bentonville, AR6y exp

“Built and deployed AcademiQ Ai, a production LLM-based teaching assistant using GPT/BERT with RAG (LangChain + Pinecone) to handle large student notes and generate adaptive explanations/quizzes. Demonstrated measurable retrieval-quality gains (18% precision improvement, 22% less irrelevant context) by tuning similarity thresholds and chunking based on user satisfaction signals. Also orchestrated terabyte-scale, real-time demand forecasting pipelines using Airflow and Kubeflow on GCP with strong monitoring, shadow deployment, and feedback-loop practices.”
