Mid-level Backend Engineer specializing in Python microservices and scalable cloud systems

Jersey City, NJ4y exp

“Backend engineer focused on high-throughput Python/Flask systems on AWS, with strong scaling and performance tuning experience (e.g., PostgreSQL join reduced from ~3s to <200ms; background aggregation cut from 10 minutes to <90 seconds with 8x throughput). Has also integrated ML model serving into production APIs (churn prediction) using Celery/Redis batching and AWS Lambda/S3, and designed secure multi-tenant architectures with PostgreSQL schema isolation and row-level security.”

“Built and owned Citigroup's ASTRA AI-powered test case generation platform end to end, from full-stack product experience to multi-agent LLM orchestration and RAG infrastructure.

“Backend/data platform engineer who led a major redesign of a hybrid streaming+batch analytics platform processing 10+ TB/day (Airflow/Hive/BigQuery) with strong data-quality automation. Also built a production RAG PDF assistant with concrete mitigations for hallucinations and prompt injection (re-ranking, grounding, verifier step) and has deep experience executing low-risk migrations (dual-write, blue-green, rapid rollback) and implementing JWT-based row-level security.”

“Built and deployed a compliance-sensitive LLM pipeline that extracts rebate logic from hospital–supplier medical contracts, using multi-layer redaction (regex/NER/dictionary), schema-validated structured outputs, and secure placeholder reinsertion. Hosted models on Amazon Bedrock to avoid retraining on sensitive data and improved both accuracy and cost by splitting the workflow into a lightweight section classifier plus a fine-tuned extraction model, orchestrated with LangChain and evaluated via layered, test-driven agent assessments.”

“Backend engineer who designed and evolved an AWS-based event-processing system in Python/PostgreSQL, achieving a 60% p95 latency reduction while improving reliability during traffic spikes.

“Backend engineer who built an async FastAPI data pipeline at GHN Career Academy to replace a manual Excel-based workflow, migrating 30k+ contact records into Airtable with validation/deduplication and best-effort GPT-based enrichment. Emphasizes reliability under messy real-world data and partial failures via structured logging, retries, and resumable processing, unlocking downstream automations (e.g., Zapier and chatbots).”

“Backend/data engineer who builds production FastAPI microservices and AWS serverless/Glue pipelines for SMS analytics and marketing segmentation. Led a legacy batch modernization into modular services (FastAPI + Glue/Athena + ClickHouse) using shadow-mode parity checks, feature flags, and incremental rollout. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (12s to sub-second SQL; ~40% CPU reduction) and strong incident ownership with proactive schema-drift prevention.”

“Candidate indicated they live in New York but did not provide substantive details about their experience; they declined to discuss at least one topic as restricted and did not answer role-related questions with concrete examples.”

“Built a web-based online Sudoku game in JavaScript (multiplayer format supporting up to 6 teams with up to 5 players each) and demonstrates strong product/analytics orientation. Uses a KPI-driven approach (DAU/WAU, ARPU, session duration, LTV) and structured prioritization methods (MoSCoW, story mapping, cost of delay, DFV) to iterate toward targets; seeking a remote role around $70k/year.”

“Backend engineer who has built high-throughput analytics and fraud-detection systems, combining Python/Flask + Celery/RabbitMQ with strong PostgreSQL performance tuning (indexing, partitioning, EXPLAIN ANALYZE). Has production experience integrating ML inference (scikit-learn/TensorFlow → TensorFlow Lite) into Spring Boot microservices with caching and model versioning, plus designing secure multi-tenant architectures using JWT-based tenant routing and PostgreSQL RBAC/RLS.”

“Master’s-in-Data-Science candidate (UHV) with 4+ years in AI engineering building production LLM and multimodal systems. Designed an LLM-powered workflow automation platform using RAG over vector stores with guardrails (schema/output validation, fallbacks) and a rigorous evaluation/monitoring framework including drift tracking and shadow deployments. Experienced orchestrating large-scale vision-language pipelines with Airflow and Kubernetes (OCR, distributed training) and partnering with non-technical ops stakeholders to cut cycle time and reduce errors.”
