Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in high-performance React/Next.js web apps

Remote, Canada8y exp

“Frontend engineer with experience at Autodesk and Quantify, leading and scaling Next.js/React + TypeScript products from architecture through QA. Strong focus on performance (Core Web Vitals, ISR, caching/CDN) and real-time interfaces (WebSockets, Chart.js/D3), with measurable wins like 30–40% bundle reduction and ~60% less data overfetching using GraphQL/Apollo.”

“Backend engineer with experience modernizing a large-scale procurement platform at Jio Platforms by breaking a monolith serving 35 business units into Spring Boot microservices, improving uptime and cutting report latency ~30%. Also built high-concurrency FastAPI systems (200ms at ~500 concurrent users) with strong security (JWT/OAuth2/RBAC), event-driven Kafka integrations, and reliability patterns like exactly-once delivery for ~1M monthly triggers.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI Python APIs and AWS-native platforms (Lambda/API Gateway, SQS, ECS Fargate) with Terraform + GitHub Actions CI/CD and strong reliability practices (JWT/RBAC, retries/timeouts, structured errors/logging). Also built AWS Glue ETL pipelines (S3/RDS to curated S3/Athena) with schema evolution and data quality controls, modernized legacy processing via parallel-run validation and phased cutovers, and has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (seconds to <200ms) plus incident ownership for batch pipeline SLAs.”

“Startup builder (MagicSeven) who designed and implemented a browser-based, agentic video editor end-to-end, including an AWS event-driven multimodal LLM “indexing” pipeline and an orchestration LLM agent for searching and manipulating footage. Demonstrates deep video file/codec knowledge plus practical production hardening of LLM workflows (format validation, plan/execute, S3-based state for debuggability).”

Senior Data Engineer specializing in cloud data platforms and real-time streaming

5y exp

“Data engineer focused on building reliable, production-grade data systems end-to-end: batch and real-time pipelines (Airflow/Kafka/Spark) with strong data quality, monitoring/alerting, and incident response. Has experience integrating external API/web data with retries, throttling, and schema-change handling, and serving curated datasets to analytics (Power BI) and backend consumers with performance optimizations like Redis caching.”

“Backend engineer who replaced an Excel-heavy forecasting workflow with a secure, auditable FastAPI system (React UI + relational model + async workers), emphasizing deterministic processing, idempotency, and versioned ledger-style ingestion. Led a monolith-to-FastAPI migration at Bounteous using a strangler approach, feature-flagged incremental rollout, and data reconciliation/shadow-compare to protect integrity while scaling onboarding workflows.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-driven document verification workflow for a construction firm’s submittals process, moving from a Vercel/Next.js prototype to a FastAPI + LangChain/LangGraph backend with background workers and multi-server deployment. Uses LLM tools (e.g., OpenAI Codex/Cloud Code) for rapid development and log-driven root cause analysis, and partners with customer teams on evaluation metrics and iterative improvements.”

“Built a production LLM-powered fraud detection platform at Wells Fargo, combining OpenAI/Hugging Face models with RAG-based explanations to make flagged transactions interpretable for risk and compliance teams. Delivered low-latency, real-time inference at high scale on AWS (SageMaker + EKS), with strong observability and security controls, reducing manual reviews and false positives in a regulated environment.”

“Robotics software engineer/researcher focused on perception, SLAM, and sensor fusion, with hands-on experience taking systems from simulation to embedded/real-time deployment. Led transparent-surface (glass) detection using GDNet and achieved a major real-time speedup (~7–9 FPS to ~30 FPS) while preserving >90% recall, and has built ROS-based EKF GPS-IMU fusion plus profiled/optimized Visual SLAM for performance and memory stability. Also brings production-style deployment skills via Docker/Kubernetes orchestration of ML inference services with autoscaling and model update rollouts.”

“AI/ML infrastructure-focused engineer who has built production RAG systems from scratch (Supabase/pgvector + OpenAI embeddings) and iterated using formal eval metrics to improve retrieval quality. Also debugged real-time audio issues in a LiveKit-based pipeline by correlating packet loss with VAD behavior, and has deep experience building brittle, customer-specific financial platform integrations in Python/Playwright (2FA, redirects, token refresh, rate limits).”

“Full-stack engineer/product owner who built and scaled a customer-facing job application portal (Skillbridge) using TypeScript/React and Spring Boot/MongoDB, optimizing search performance with indexing, caching (Redis), and payload/lazy-loading improvements. Also built an internal AI-driven analytics dashboard for Salesforce operations using OpenAI sentiment analysis, achieving 70% reduction in manual analysis and driving adoption through demos and iterative feedback.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built a Spring Boot timesheet API on AWS (Postgres, Docker, Nginx) used by hundreds of daily users and resolved severe deadline-driven latency/5XX incidents via query optimization, connection pool tuning, and Redis caching. Also shipped application-layer LLM features (Mistral + LangChain chatbot) and designed a Planner/Executor/Verifier troubleshooting agent with verification-based guardrails to prevent hallucinated root-cause analyses.”

“Engineer with production experience in both high-throughput banking risk systems and LLM agent platforms. Built a real-time transaction risk scoring middleware at JPMorgan Chase (1M+ requests/day) emphasizing HA, observability, and audit/PII compliance, and also architected multi-step LLM agents with strict schema-based tool calling, evaluation loops, and safety guardrails for messy enterprise data.”
