“Frontend engineer/lead who has owned end-to-end architecture for large customer-facing React/Next.js platforms, emphasizing strong API contracts (GraphQL + TypeScript codegen), automated quality guardrails, and performance as a feature. Built complex workflow UIs including a multi-step patient booking flow for New York’s largest healthcare provider and an admin dashboard handling 400,000+ USDA ingredient records, with disciplined state management, staged rollouts, and real-user monitoring.”

“Infrastructure engineer with deep production IBM Power/AIX experience (AIX 7.2/7.3, HMC, dual VIOS, PowerHA) supporting ~25–30 LPARs and handling live DLPAR tuning, HA failovers, and Power7→Power9 migrations. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps CI/CD deploying Dockerized microservices to Kubernetes with Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, strong controls around secrets, drift, and safe rollouts.”

“Backend/platform engineer in healthcare and consulting (Molina Healthcare, TCS) who productionized real-time eligibility/authorization and care navigation workflows with strong reliability and HIPAA security. Demonstrated measurable performance gains (≈40% latency reduction, ~99% uptime) using Spring Boot APIs, SQS decoupling, Redis caching, and deep observability, and regularly leads technical demos that accelerate client adoption.”

“Backend engineer with insurance/claims domain experience who modernized legacy claims processing systems to support AI-assisted claim review. Emphasizes production-ready API design in Python/FastAPI (schemas, async, caching, graceful degradation), strong observability with Prometheus, and layered security including JWT auth plus database row-level security (Supabase/Postgres).”

“Former CEO of GravyWork with hands-on experience building an org-wide strategic plan and modernization roadmap for a growing company. Uses Michael Gerber’s innovation/orchestration/quantification framework and structured as-is/gap/to-be analysis to drive cost reduction, automation/outsourcing decisions, and leadership alignment through change.”

“Game developer/designer building an open-world MMO/RPG largely solo in Unreal Engine 5, combining Blueprints and C++ and integrating Steam plus AWS/Amazon GameLift. Demonstrates strong playtest-driven iteration, including major redesigns to PvP balance and inventory/progression systems, and uses disciplined design documentation (rules, states, tuning tables) with Agile/Scrum practices.”

“AI startup co-founder and CTO who helped raise $2.6M in seed funding at RedRex and drove product strategy from ideation through execution. Experienced with rapid experimentation and AI-driven prototyping to validate ideas quickly, and has direct exposure to the VC/accelerator ecosystem (Gener8tor) with a market-first approach to building and pitching startups.”

“Director of Projects with experience owning HR operations processes from onboarding through exit and partnering with engineering to build/fix HRMS-related systems. Led cross-functional teams (engineering, QA, DevOps, operations, legal) to resolve data/tooling issues and improve operational rigor through Jira/Confluence documentation and multi-level code checks; also managed org-wide Jira licensing and user provisioning.”

“Backend/DevOps-leaning engineer managing multiple customer service platforms end-to-end (requirements through deployment). Built an in-house Python monitoring/alerting solution for Salesforce-to-Java contact sync jobs (Snowflake dependencies) that increased uptime ~60%, and helped modernize delivery by moving the team from manual releases to automated Jenkins-based deployments while coordinating an Oracle EBS→Fusion transition with business/data/IT stakeholders.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer (Geico) focused on AWS and Kubernetes at production scale. Has hands-on experience building secure GitHub Actions CI/CD for EKS, provisioning core AWS infrastructure with Terraform/CDK, and leading end-to-end incident response with post-incident automation to prevent recurrence; no direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

“Frontend engineer focused on React/TypeScript dashboards for manufacturing-cycle analytics (downtime/wait time/cycle time). Has hands-on experience building reusable charting components (JSON-to-graph) with React ECharts, scaling data flows with Redux/RTK Query, and refactoring monolithic UI code into modular components while shipping on a ~3-week release cadence.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer with hands-on production experience across Power8/Power9 frames, VIOS and HMC, including resolving a production LPAR outage caused by vFC mapping issues. Has operated PowerHA clusters for critical finance workloads, running quarterly failover tests and handling an unplanned failover triggered by a network adapter failure, then improving resilience with redundancy and monitoring automation.”

“IBM Power/AIX infrastructure engineer who has owned a sizable production estate (50 Power servers / ~200 LPARs) spanning VIOS/HMC, SAN/NFS, and PowerHA clusters. Demonstrates strong incident leadership (LPAR outage + split-brain recovery) and a process-improvement mindset with measurable reductions in recurrence/MTTR, while also bringing modern DevOps/IaC experience (Jenkins, ArgoCD, Terraform, security scanning, canary/blue-green).”

“Backend/full-stack Java engineer at PNC Bank specializing in real-time fraud detection systems. Built event-driven Spring Boot + Kafka microservices with PostgreSQL/Redis performance tuning, and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG feature for fraud analysts with strong guardrails (grounded internal data, structured prompts with references, human-in-the-loop) plus an evaluation loop using labeled historical fraud cases.”
