Staff AI Engineer specializing in LLM systems, retrieval, and ML infrastructure

Remote10y exp

“ML/LLM engineer from Cohere who has owned retrieval, reranking, agentic workflows, and internal evaluation infrastructure end-to-end in production. Particularly strong in turning brittle RAG and research-heavy ideas into scalable enterprise systems with grounded outputs, lower customer escalations, and adoption by major clients like Notion and Fujitsu.”

“Meta engineer who owned end-to-end production systems for AI-enabled smart glasses, spanning React/TypeScript apps through Node/Java microservices on AWS EKS with Kafka/Postgres. Built and productionized a real-time RAG pipeline (LangChain + OpenAI + Elasticsearch) with rigorous guardrails (shadow/canary, fallbacks, monitoring), delivering major improvements in latency (~35–40%), error reduction (~30%), and engagement (reported +40% DAU).”

Staff Full-Stack AI Engineer specializing in FinTech and Enterprise SaaS

San Jose, CA12y exp

“Full-stack engineer with Yahoo Finance experience building AI-powered investment and analytics features. They combine modern TypeScript/React/NestJS development with strong backend systems skills in PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, and Kubernetes, and have driven architectural improvements from synchronous workflows to event-driven microservices in a high-traffic financial environment.”

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned real-time reporting and streaming analytics systems end-to-end, combining FastAPI/Postgres APIs with Kafka consumers, Celery background jobs, and Redis caching. Strong DevOps/GitOps experience deploying Python/Node microservices to AWS EKS with Helm, ArgoCD/FluxCD, and CI pipelines, and has supported phased on-prem to AWS migrations using Terraform and traffic cutovers.”

“Engineering leader who drove Lightroom Mobile’s roadmap at Adobe by enforcing reuse of Photoshop imaging tech to deliver RAW, non-destructive mobile editing with full Creative Cloud compatibility. In startup environments, has repeatedly scaled and professionalized engineering orgs (career ladders, evaluation systems, delivery process) and led high-stakes cloud/platform transformations—migrating off Heroku and consolidating fragmented AWS/GCP usage into a single GCP platform—improving reliability, deploy speed, and cutting cloud costs by 20%+.”

“Senior engineering leader with deep hands-on architecture experience across fintech and enterprise software. At DriveWealth, he led a major backend replatform for a brokerage platform handling 10M+ trades per day, combining event-driven design, Kinesis/Kafka, and regulatory-grade accuracy; at TIBCO, he built a Kubernetes-based API management product from near scratch into a successful revenue-generating offering.”

Bellevue, USA9y exp

“Backend engineer on Amazon’s Geospatial Data team (Amazon Maps) who built a real-time road-layer service ingesting third-party and internal signals to deliver road closures/traffic overlays to delivery drivers on a ~3-minute cadence while minimizing mobile data egress. Demonstrates strong production reliability skills (rate limiting, idempotency, cache stampede prevention) and security depth (IAM, RBAC, tenant row-level security), plus careful handling of edge cases like manual override protection against automated feed overwrites.”
