Vetted PHP Professionals

“Full-stack/backend engineer with healthcare and enterprise experience: built and secured AWS-hosted services for a clinical EHR product that redacts/transforms hospital patient records for pharma customers (e.g., AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson). At Cisco, led an incremental Ruby-to-Python/Django migration for a compliance backend, and has deep multi-tenant security experience using Postgres RLS tied to JWT plus DLQ patterns to harden data pipelines.”

“Candidate brings an operator-to-founder profile with leadership experience in IT and Business Systems and a strong grasp of how ideas become venture-backable products. They speak fluently about startup evaluation criteria such as TAM, technical defensibility, speed to scale, and AI differentiation, and appear especially motivated by building solutions end-to-end in startup or venture studio environments.”

“Backend engineer with experience building queue-driven Python/Flask systems using Celery, Redis/RabbitMQ, and SQLAlchemy/Postgres, including async/non-blocking architectures for concurrency. Also built a patient-facing full-stack app integrating LLMs (OpenAI/Claude) with streaming responses for real-time UX, and previously delivered high-throughput, reliability-critical background workflows at Dropbox (document expiration with batching, retries, and cache/side-effect handling).”

“Entrepreneurial builder using Claude Code to rapidly prototype multiple product ideas and validate them with target users via social channels. Created and launched NotePulse (a lower-priced Notionlytics alternative), acquiring a dozen early users through Reddit-driven discovery and light paid experiments, with a strong emphasis on MVP scoping and product polish.”

“Engineering lead/player-coach working on project management software, owning a high-impact scheduling algorithm rewrite focused on performance, maintainability, and documentation after prior team turnover caused regressions. Previously at EOX Vantage, helped an insurance client modernize monolithic workflows by scoping ambiguous requirements into a roadmap and shipping a day-one MVP before iterating with value-add features.”

“Former PwC Director with hands-on early-stage venture experience (e.g., BridgeLights, a big-data analytics concept for early fintech) spanning concept creation, platform architecture, and go-to-market experimentation. Strong focus on building scalable, modular data platforms with rigorous governance/compliance (data lineage, quality controls) and supporting technical diligence in investor-aligned environments.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience building and owning high-traffic e-commerce checkout flows in Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript across microservices (REST/GraphQL). Demonstrated measurable performance wins (30% checkout improvement; 85% initial load reduction at 20th Century FOX) and strong production rigor (APM/logs, CloudWatch, Postgres indexing + EXPLAIN ANALYZE), including offloading PDF generation to AWS Lambda.”

“Data engineer/backend engineer who owns large-scale, real-time event pipelines on AWS end-to-end, including a petabyte-scale CDC ingestion flow from multiple Postgres DBs into Redshift. Re-architected a legacy DynamoDB+S3 approach into a Delta Lake + DuckDB/PyArrow-compatible design, improving performance dramatically (e.g., ~600s to ~10s for 1k records) and increasing reliability at high file volumes.”

Intern Software Developer and ML Researcher specializing in medical imaging and computer vision

Chicago, IL0y exp

“AI/ML practitioner with experience spanning audio/LLM applications (built "Iota" using Whisper, tiktoken, and a local Ollama-served LLM) and healthcare ML (Facemed.ai; UChicago Radiology). Demonstrates a production-oriented mindset—focus on data/model fit, deterministic field testing, and operational safeguards—and has improved research evaluation workflows via a hash-table-based concurrent model tracking approach.”

Senior Python Full-Stack Developer specializing in cloud, data engineering, and ML/GenAI

New York, NY10y exp

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI services on AWS and implementing strong reliability/observability (CloudWatch, ELK, correlation IDs, alarms). Has delivered serverless + container solutions with IaC (CloudFormation/Terraform) and Jenkins CI/CD, and built AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution and data-quality safeguards; demonstrated large-scale SQL tuning (45 min to 3 min on a 500M-row workload).”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in LLM agents and full-stack development

Seattle, USA1y exp

“Embedded C++ engineer with Bosch automotive infotainment experience, owning real-time audio middleware modules with strict latency/memory constraints. Strong in profiling/optimizing deterministic behavior, debugging hardware-specific intermittent issues, and building automated test + CI pipelines; currently ramping up on ROS2 concepts (DDS, nodes/topics/services) to transition toward robotics.”

“VR/social platform engineer with experience at AltspaceVR, Mozilla Hubs, and Dopple, spanning Unity/C#, custom engine networking, and early voice-agent systems. Particularly compelling for roles at the intersection of multiplayer, XR, and AI: they’ve built data-driven avatar systems, ownership-based netcode, VR replay capture, and a custom real-time voice->LLM->voice stack integrated with hardware and computer vision.”

“Worked on Sophia the humanoid robot, building production animation pipelines and enhancing human-robot interaction via perception and behavior orchestration. Experienced in stabilizing noisy perception-driven state transitions and designing smooth, user-centered behavioral flows, collaborating closely with artists, animators, and experience designers to translate creative intent into measurable system behavior.”

“Backend engineer with experience at Comcast and in healthcare/pharmacy automation (PrimeRx), building Python/Flask services that orchestrate large-scale batch workflows (Airflow) and high-throughput event processing (Kafka). Demonstrated measurable performance wins (cut provisioning latency to ~150–200ms) and strong multi-tenant isolation strategies (Postgres RLS, partitioning), plus practical integration of ML model outputs into production systems with validation and fallback controls.”
