“Software/full-stack engineer focused on deploying and integrating microservice applications into production AWS and hybrid cloud/on-prem industrial environments. Demonstrated end-to-end troubleshooting by tracing intermittent user failures to network routing/packet loss caused by load balancer and NIC misconfiguration, then adding monitoring to prevent recurrence. Also delivers customer-specific Python extensions with strong validation, testing, and backward compatibility.”

“Built and productionized Azure-based LLM/RAG systems for regulatory/compliance use cases, including automating analyst research and compliance report generation across large unstructured document sets. Demonstrates strong practical depth in hallucination mitigation, hybrid retrieval tuning (BM25 + embeddings), and production MLOps (Databricks, Cognitive Search, AKS, Airflow/MLflow), plus proven ability to deliver auditable, explainable solutions with non-technical compliance teams.”

“Software engineer with experience at PTC (Onshape cloud CAD) and Firebolt building customer-facing features end-to-end—from user research and prototyping (tooltips, CSV imports) through deployment and usage monitoring. Also handled urgent production crashes in a Flutter mobile app across iOS/Android by diagnosing state-management conflicts and shipping a stabilizing patch; enjoys hands-on, customer-facing work and travel.”

“Cloud-focused engineer with hands-on experience deploying production cloud-native REST APIs on AWS using Pulumi IaC, containerization, and CI/CD, with strong emphasis on secure credential management and operational monitoring via CloudWatch. Also has IoT troubleshooting experience across edge hardware constraints and networking (TLS handshake failures), plus Python-based configurable data-processing tools and customer-facing requirements translation.”

“Frontend engineer who has led end-to-end delivery of a bag tag management application and contributed to a bank wealth application using micro-frontends. Emphasizes scalable architecture, reusable component systems (Storybook), performance techniques (lazy loading/code splitting), and quality/security tooling (Veracode, Wiz Scan, SonarQube) with a disciplined multi-environment release process.”

“Darwinbox team member who supported talent/recruiting operations while also driving product improvements across HR modules (recruitment, onboarding, payroll, performance). Led a small team (5–6) and implemented discovery-driven configuration and BI reporting (Power BI/Tableau/Confluence), including a reported 30% reduction in recruitment configuration issues and real-time funnel reporting to support fast hiring.”

“Engineering/IT leader with 12+ years of people management and deep ERP ecosystem experience, including SAP S/4HANA and large-scale integrations (APIs/EDI/e-commerce). Managed an 11-person cross-functional team supporting multiple business domains and led process improvements like support-cycle/ticketing and documentation, plus regression test automation strategy driven by business-critical prioritization.”

“Project/operations leader who helped a growing company (2023–2024) overhaul its internal delivery operations by standing up a PMO and customizing PMI-based project management frameworks end-to-end (requirements, sprint cadence, bug handling, dashboards/KPIs).
