“Backend engineer (IpserLab) who owned Python services for a production quiz/analytics platform, focusing on reliability and low-latency behavior under peak load. Hands-on with Kubernetes + Docker deployments and GitHub Actions CI/CD in a GitOps-style workflow, including solving configuration drift and enabling fast rollbacks. Also implemented Kafka-based event streaming with idempotent consumers and strong observability (lag tracking, structured logging, alerting).”

“UNIX infrastructure engineer with hands-on AIX 7.x and Solaris 11.4 operations, including high-severity Oracle/NFS I/O incidents resolved via MTU/Jumbo Frame tuning and performance tooling (iostat/vmstat/top/fio). Experienced in IBM Power (P5–P9) environments with VIOS/LPAR and PowerHA/HACMP (up to 8-node clusters), plus legacy Sun/Oracle SPARC and AIX migrations using custom Bash/Python discovery scripts and rsync-based cutovers.”

“Frontend engineer with telecom and fintech/banking experience in the Dominican Republic, building React/Angular apps with authentication and real-time data. Notable wins include optimizing an Oracle-backed workflow from ~10s to ~2s via DB indexing plus React memoization, and shipping a SignalR real-time transaction table in one week (award-winning) with strong unit-test-driven QA outcomes.”

“Cloud/Linux infrastructure engineer focused on high-availability AWS platforms (EKS/EC2) with strong observability and incident response ownership. Has hands-on experience building secure CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) and Terraform-based IaC at scale, including resolving real production issues like peak-traffic latency and Terraform remote state locking; transparent about not having direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA production ownership.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who builds and operates Spring Boot microservices with React/TypeScript frontends, using Kafka/RabbitMQ for event-driven workflows. Created an internal ops dashboard for Support/SRE with tracing, alert correlation, and self-serve actions, improving MTTR and reducing escalations while maintaining regulatory-grade reliability and security.”

Boston, MA4y exp

“Backend/embedded-focused engineer with hands-on experience designing real-time, memory/power-constrained firmware architectures and also building Python/FastAPI services. Demonstrates strong production rigor across migrations (strangler pattern, shadow reads, feature flags), security (OIDC/JWT, RBAC/ABAC, Postgres RLS), and robustness for async workflows (idempotency, event ordering, state machines).”

“LLM/RAG-focused engineer who repeatedly takes agentic workflows from impressive demos to dependable production using rigorous evals, SLOs, and deep observability. Has led high-impact incident mitigation (22-minute MTTR during a major sale) and developer enablement workshops, and partnered with sales to close a $410k ARR enterprise deal with a tailored RAG pilot (FastAPI/pgvector/Okta/InfoSec-ready).”

“ML/NLP engineer with banking domain experience who built a GenAI-powered fraud detection and risk intelligence system at Origin Bank, combining RAG (LangChain + FAISS), fine-tuned BERT NER, and GPT-4/Sentence-BERT embeddings. Delivered measurable impact (25% higher fraud detection accuracy, 40% less manual review) and emphasizes production-grade pipelines on AWS SageMaker/Airflow with strong data validation and scalable PySpark processing.”

“Gameplay/systems developer with shipped VR experience on Meta Quest (Litesport), owning a real-time workout scoring and progression system end-to-end including hit validation, HUD/UI, session state, and persistence. Known for event-driven architecture that decouples gameplay from UI, data-driven tunables for multiple modes, and rigorous VR performance work to hold 72 FPS using on-device profiling and debugging.”
