“Worked at AMD on Vivado tool releases, focusing on adding and integrating new IP/SoC functionality into the Vivado flow and validating expected behavior through testing. Comfortable engaging with customers and open to travel for hands-on customer-facing work.”

“Backend/platform engineer from Dune Security with strong experience turning messy, fragmented workflows into reusable production systems. They’ve built a shared database abstraction layer, integrated multiple enterprise security platforms into a unified workflow, and shipped AWS Bedrock-powered security insight features with guardrails and human review.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has shipped an LLM-powered enterprise support-ticket agent at Comcast, building a production-grade microservices pipeline (FastAPI, SQS, Redis) with strong observability (OpenTelemetry/Splunk/Prometheus/Grafana) and reliability patterns (async, caching, circuit breakers, idempotency). Demonstrated quantified impact at scale—processing 10k+ tickets/day while improving response SLAs and routing accuracy through evaluation and human feedback loops.”

“Built and shipped an internal Financial Insights Assistant for banking analysts, owning the experience from workflow design through React frontend, FastAPI backend, and AI search integration. Particularly strong in making AI products usable and trustworthy by surfacing sources, experts, suggested prompts, and search history to improve confidence and speed.”

“AI/full-stack engineer who built a computer-usage agent end to end, including a split local/cloud architecture that used a vision LLM to drive real Chrome workflows while avoiding bot detection. Stands out for combining product-minded systems design, rigorous evals, and prompt iteration to achieve sub-2-second latency and a 20% reduction in automation failures in an early-stage environment.”

“Built and shipped an AI-powered support assistant at PNC Bank, owning both the React/TypeScript frontend and Python/FastAPI + LangChain/OpenAI backend. Stands out for applying RAG in a regulated banking environment with measurable impact: 34% better knowledge retrieval accuracy and 27% faster support lookup time.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and cloud platforms

Cupertino, CA15y exp

“Full-stack developer who built a unit billing subscription portal in React, Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL to track employee billable hours and generate paperless invoices, including BambooHR integration and async workflows with RabbitMQ. Also independently exploring agentic AI through a support desk assistant using RAG, ChromaDB, and LangChain, with a strong focus on grounding, type safety, and measurable retrieval quality.”

“Data/analytics-focused engineer who builds end-to-end KPI reporting and validation products used daily by plant leads and leadership to track yield, downtime, and defects. Combines Python/SQL + Power BI data pipelines with strong data-quality practices (automated validation, monitoring/alerts) and has experience designing scalable frontend architecture in TypeScript/React and working in distributed/microservices-style data systems.”

“Runs two lean real estate companies remotely by building local on-the-ground contact networks and leveraging free-tier technology to keep total annual business costs under $100. Brings a cost-elimination and MVP/validation-first mindset, preferring to join an established company unless a clearly viable business idea emerges.”

“Backend engineer with TaskRabbit experience building and operating payment/booking services in Python/Django on AWS (ECS + Lambda) with Kafka/SQS eventing. Demonstrates strong production reliability and incident ownership in high-stakes payment flows (idempotency, strict timeouts, retries, monitoring/alerting) plus data/ETL work in AWS Glue and measurable SQL performance wins.”

“Backend engineer who built an NL-to-SQL system at Target, using a multi-step LLM pipeline with vector-store schema retrieval and SQL validation to safely answer business questions. Strong in production FastAPI systems (async, Pydantic, Docker/Uvicorn, load balancing) and security (OAuth2/JWT, scopes, and database row-level security), with experience migrating Flask apps to FastAPI + PostgreSQL using strangler/feature-flagged canary rollouts.”

“Full-stack engineer who built an internal user-activity tracking and reporting system end-to-end using React/TypeScript, Node/Express, and Postgres, deployed on AWS (EC2/ALB, S3/CloudFront) with CloudWatch observability.
