Senior Backend Engineer specializing in GenAI, LLMs, and scalable data pipelines

Chicago, IL12y exp

“Backend/ML platform engineer from Snapsheet who owned production Python services and data pipelines for insurance claims, including an AI document classification/summarization FastAPI service on ECS/Fargate processing 1M+ documents/year. Strong in AWS infrastructure (Terraform, CI/CD, secrets/IAM, autoscaling), Glue/PySpark ETL with schema evolution controls, and legacy SAS-to-microservices modernization with safe, feature-flagged rollouts and measurable performance wins.”

“Built a production LLM-powered root cause analysis agent for supply chain alerts that helped operations managers avoid manual dashboard investigation. Demonstrates unusually strong depth in agent reliability, orchestration, and observability, with concrete production practices like hallucination blocking, shadow testing on 500 cases, and data-driven improvements that raised user agreement to 94% while cutting GPT-4 usage by 60%.”

“Backend-focused engineer with Walmart Global Tech experience building shipment and seller workflow systems using Spring Boot, GraphQL, Kafka, and async processing. Stands out for improving bulk label API performance by 60-75%, designing item-level partial-failure workflows that improved user clarity, and also exploring AI-powered debugging/RCA platforms with Java, Python, LangChain, and LLM integrations.”

“Backend/data engineer with experience at Nike building high-volume order orchestration and validation APIs using FastAPI microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka, Redis, and Postgres. Strong in production reliability (timeouts/retries/idempotency), GitOps (Argo CD) + Terraform deployments, and data pipelines (AWS Glue/S3), with hands-on incident ownership and legacy modernization into API-driven services.”

“Senior, product-focused engineer who has built real-time customer-facing web applications and a microservices backend (TypeScript/React/Node) using RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and Redis. Demonstrates strong operational maturity (idempotency, tracing/observability, backpressure) and built an internal console that became the primary tool for debugging, replaying jobs, and managing system behavior.”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on scalable data security scanning and risk detection in hybrid cloud, owning architecture and core implementation of an incremental/parallel DSPM scanning engine. Shipped production improvements including 60% lower scan latency and 30% fewer false positives, with strong emphasis on correctness under concurrency, multi-tenant observability (SLOs/burn-rate alerts), and disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, shadow scans, canaries).”

Executive Technology & Security Leader specializing in FinTech, AI platforms, and enterprise modernization

Denver Metro Area36y exp

“Technology transformation leader who builds board-approved roadmaps and scales engineering orgs with strong Agile execution. Led large modernization efforts (e.g., Scottrade: 3,000 programs/4M LOC in 18 months) and scaled POCs into enterprise SaaS platforms using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform for high-concurrency workloads.”

“Software engineer with experience across early-stage startups and production full-stack systems, including migration work from a Go monolith to a Node.js backend and a clinical research application deployed on Kubernetes in AWS. Has worked across Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, SQL databases, and B2B SaaS data-streaming products.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong startup experience across small distributed teams, owning everything from React UIs to Go services and Python data pipelines. He stands out for designing stable APIs and data models in ambiguous compliance-heavy environments, with measurable impact including a 38% reduction in manual cleanup and a 27% drop in customer-visible incidents. He has also worked deeply in B2B SaaS at Ashby, supporting mission-critical recruiting workflows where data correctness, permissions, and integration stability were essential.”
