Vetted Operating Systems Professionals

“Robotics software builder who delivered an end-to-end gesture-controlled drone system using an ESP32+IMU stream and real-time ML inference mapped to Tello SDK commands. Drove reliability improvements by instrumenting the pipeline with timestamps/logging and matching training vs runtime preprocessing, reaching ~94% gesture classification accuracy; experienced with Docker/Compose for reproducible multi-service deployments.”

“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.”

“Built a fault-tolerant distributed IoT sensor network on Raspberry Pi using a token-ring protocol, implementing leader election, timeout-based failure detection, and dynamic reconfiguration when nodes drop mid-round. Focused on reliability and data integrity, including exactly-once processing semantics backed by a MySQL backend and socket-level instrumentation to debug real-time coordination issues.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on perception/SLAM and systems integration, recently built a quasi-dynamic mapping pipeline to track and reconstruct articulated objects (e.g., drawers) from RGB video using SAM2, COLMAP SfM, and 3D Gaussian Splatting. Also has strong ROS2 sensor-pipeline experience (custom messages, MCAP rosbag deserialization, tf2) and demonstrated real-time performance tuning by accelerating an ICP-based LiDAR SLAM component ~30x (from ~3s to <100ms per frame).”

“Built and deployed serverless AWS applications (Lambda/S3/RDS Proxy) including a NASA L’Space React + Python data analysis tool, focusing on performance for large datasets. Demonstrates strong cloud troubleshooting across compute and networking (CloudWatch-driven diagnosis, EC2 scaling, security group fixes) and a user-driven iteration loop that improved product usability with dynamic filtering and interactive UI.”

“Built an OCR backend that trains a custom Tesseract model for proprietary fonts and scales via multi-tenant isolation (tenant-scoped APIs, per-tenant storage, JWT+RBAC). Improved high-load image processing by shifting OCR to async worker queues and adding Redis caching, cutting processing time by ~66%, and also integrated Claude API to auto-generate test cases on code changes.”

“Built SparkyAI, a gamified college-essay writing assistant (hackathon project at ASU in 2025) using React/styled-components, Firebase (OAuth/DB), and OpenAI APIs, with concrete scalability and performance measures like rate limiting, indexed queries, code splitting, and conversation caching. Also designed a global low-latency voice-to-LLM architecture leveraging WebRTC, regional containerized services, global load balancing, streaming STT/TTS, and end-to-end encryption with minimal logging.”

“Healthcare-focused ML/LLM engineer who built a production hybrid RAG workflow to automate prior authorization by retrieving from medical guidelines/historical cases (FAISS) and generating grounded rationales for clinicians. Strong in operationalizing ML with Airflow/Kubeflow/MLflow on SageMaker, optimizing latency (ONNX/quantization/async), and reducing hallucinations via evidence-only prompting; also partnered closely with clinical ops to deploy a readmission prediction tool used in daily rounds.”

“Robotics software engineer with 2+ years of ROS/ROS2 experience who built a mobile robot stack from scratch (Fusion 360 → URDF → ROS) and integrated teleop, SLAM, and navigation. Worked in an ASU lab applying deep learning for person tracking on a TurtleBot setup, and solved real deployment issues like Raspberry Pi video-stream latency via compression and on-board processing. Also reports experience with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins) and Kubernetes.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across Azure and AWS: built FastAPI + PostgreSQL services with Azure AD OAuth2/JWT auth and strong reliability patterns (timeouts, retries, correlation IDs). Delivered AWS Lambda/ECS solutions with Terraform/CI-CD and cost controls (SQS buffering, reserved concurrency), and built/operated AWS Glue ETL pipelines into Redshift while modernizing legacy SAS reporting into Python microservices with parity testing.”

“Full-stack engineer who built an AI-based inventory/procurement query system at Botlily/Botlerly using Flask and Google Sheets as a live knowledge base, overcoming Sheets latency with caching and structured in-memory models. Demonstrated strong LLM product engineering (40% accuracy improvement via preprocessing/prompting) and customer-driven iteration with bar/restaurant owners, evolving the tool into a more comprehensive inventory management and forecasting solution.”

“Full-stack TypeScript/React/Next.js builder who created an end-to-end customer-facing product (AI Job Master) that generates personalized outreach from resumes and job descriptions. Demonstrates strong product + engineering ownership with rapid MVP iteration, instrumentation-driven prioritization, and pragmatic reliability patterns (microservices, queues, correlation IDs, retries) while tackling a key AI challenge: user trust and output consistency.”

“Built and owned a Python/FastAPI backend for a custom translation service used in a showroom application, integrating DynamoDB and connecting the service to a SPA/Next.js frontend. Has exposure to Kubernetes-based deployments and GitHub Actions CI/CD, and contributed to planning an on-prem to cloud/SaaS migration at Sherwin-Williams by gathering requirements across multiple plants/factories.”

“Early-career engineer who built a self-directed production-grade security scanning/analysis pipeline that normalizes multi-scanner results, correlates CVEs, and uses an LLM to generate exploit hypotheses—then hardened it for real-world reliability (timeouts, confidence scoring, feature flags, graceful degradation). Also integrated a real-time audio ML model into Discord/Zoom and debugged intermittent latency/dropouts across Python inference, virtual audio drivers, and network jitter; experienced with IAM integrations (Entra ID/Salesforce) and cloud tooling (AWS/Docker/Kubernetes).”
