Mid Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and AI-enabled platforms

California, USA4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of a support ticket intelligence platform, spanning React/TypeScript frontend work and backend API, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker-based deployment. They stand out for driving practical architecture and performance improvements in production, including moving heavy processing async and cutting response times from about 300ms to 150ms while improving reliability.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production ML/LLM systems: built a real-time FastAPI inference API on Kubernetes with strong reliability patterns (timeouts, idempotent retries, centralized error handling). Delivered AWS platforms using EKS + Lambda with GitHub Actions/Helm CI/CD and built Glue-based ETL from S3/Kafka into Snowflake with schema evolution and data-quality controls; also modernized legacy analytics/recommendation workflows into Python services with safe, feature-flagged cutovers.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in event-driven FinTech backend systems

San Francisco, CA5y exp

“Senior/Staff-level backend/platform engineer who owned Stripe’s global payout settlement system end-to-end, building an event-driven Python/Kafka platform processing millions of events daily across 30+ countries. Deep experience operating high-reliability distributed systems in production (incidents, replays/backfills, schema evolution, observability) and scaling on AWS/EKS with strong testing and deployment practices.”

“Meta engineer who emphasizes AI-native development workflows, using Claude Code heavily to ship UI and performance fixes quickly. Notable examples include a location-aware ad relevance feature that increased CTR and revenue, and a vehicle insights chatbot whose UX improved through metric-driven prompt tuning.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer with strong systems architecture depth who has reworked core gameplay ability frameworks, shipped across mobile and standalone VR, and solved multiplayer synchronization issues with server-authoritative netcode. Also brings an unusual crossover into AI tooling, having owned an AI-powered debugging assistant at Arm and integrated LLM workflows into CI/development pipelines.”

“Engineer with startup experience at a Series B company, where they worked through high ambiguity and personally led an observers feature for a video conferencing platform. They also bring B2B SaaS experience building feature-flagged, permission-sensitive products for customers ranging from startups to large enterprises, plus migration experience moving an acquired app from .NET into a React/Next.js ecosystem.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS2 experience building an audio conversion node and integrating Whisper LiveKit for streaming speech-to-text in a simulated hostile (outer space) robot environment. Also worked on a 2023 LiDAR + ML vision obstacle-detection project for a hospital-nurse-assistant robot, and has strong large-scale CI/CD deployment experience from AWS (2022–2024) across alpha/pre-prod/prod stages.”
