Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in real-time platforms and AI tools

Cambridge, MA3y exp

“Early-career full-stack engineer with unusual depth in mission-critical environments: helped build a cybersecurity operations platform from scratch as the third engineer and shipped it to the National Election Commission of South Korea. Also worked on defense-focused situational awareness software, combining React/WebGL frontend performance work with backend data transformation for real-time weather and map overlays.”

“Full-stack engineer who has owned customer-facing AI recommendation and analytics dashboards end-to-end (backend APIs/data processing through React UI, deployment, and monitoring). Demonstrates strong systems thinking around scaling microservices—using observability, caching, async workflows, and resilience patterns—and also built an internal ops dashboard that became the default tool for on-call incident reviews.”

“Software engineer with recent hands-on production work across Go, Python, and React/TypeScript, spanning healthcare APIs, compliance systems, and data engineering. Stands out for delivering under ambiguity: replaced a legacy SOAP eligibility service, built a Kafka-based compliance pipeline handling 14,000 events per second, and created a modular banking data pipeline that cut month-end work by 30%.”

Senior Full-Stack .NET Developer specializing in cloud migration and enterprise systems

Leander, TX10y exp

“Enterprise full-stack engineer with strong Microsoft-stack depth, including modernizing a legacy Sun Life insurance platform into Azure-based microservices. They combine backend architecture, Kubernetes-based delivery, frontend dashboard work in React/Redux, and measurable database optimization results, including cutting a major supply-chain report from 11 minutes to about 20 seconds.”

“Startup-focused technology leader who has supported two startups over ~10 years, including conducting initial M&A/technology-fit research and serving as CTO to build required platforms. Recently automated manual marketing lead processing with agentic AI and drove workflow standardization through user interviews to align teams on a common process.”

“Zero Trust security product lead focused on UI/API delivery, stability, and customer adoption at enterprise scale, including deployments serving 1200 customers. Stands out for hands-on production debugging across the full stack, customer-facing incident ownership, and a pragmatic approach to turning failures into automated regression coverage.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end agentic RAG chatbot platform for Baptist Health that helped clinicians access policy and clinical documents faster, reducing manual lookup by 80% and delivering about $2M in annual savings. Brings strong healthcare GenAI production experience, including HIPAA-aligned governance, PHI redaction, observability, evaluation, and scalable Python/Kubernetes deployment practices.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in FinTech and AI platforms

New York, NY4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with 3 years of AI/ML experience who has shipped production LLM workflows, including a Bloomberg triage dashboard that cut manual processing by 35%. Combines React/TypeScript product sense with AWS/Spring/Lambda backend architecture and unusually strong practical judgment around evals, trust, retrieval, latency, and UX for real-world AI systems.”

“Sole developer behind BirdieAI, an AI-powered golf booking platform built from the ground up, spanning frontend UX, backend services, AWS infrastructure, and Postgres database management. Worked directly with a cofounder in a startup setting to scope and ship an MVP, then improved production reliability significantly by reducing a key extraction failure from 1 in 15 to 1 in 300 while adding operational safeguards and user-driven product improvements.”

“Lead front-end engineer focused on large-scale React microfrontend enterprise platforms, with experience spanning telecom e-commerce and financial services. Stands out for combining architecture ownership with deep browser-level performance expertise, including a 42-45% route transition improvement and UX changes that cut workflow completion times by about 25% for demanding institutional users.”

“At Esri, the candidate is building a production LLM-powered WebGIS AI framework that embeds an AI assistant into web maps and routes natural-language requests into ArcGIS JavaScript SDK functions via a LangGraph-orchestrated, multi-agent system. They emphasize production reliability and scale (strict tool calling/JSON, live schema validation, query guardrails) and rigorous evaluation/observability using LangSmith, offline prompt datasets, and latency/tool-call accuracy tracking.”

“Backend-focused engineer building customer support/order-tracking platforms with Java 17/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript frontend. Deep experience running event-driven systems on Kubernetes (Kafka, Redis, MySQL) with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Splunk), SLOs, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, canaries). Also built an internal monitoring/debugging dashboard that consolidated metrics and logs for on-call engineers and was adopted by other teams to speed incident response.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based LLM Q&A and summarization platform for internal documents, emphasizing grounded answers with structured prompting and citations to reduce hallucinations. Experienced orchestrating end-to-end LLM workflows with LangChain plus cloud pipelines (Azure ML Pipelines, AWS), and runs iterative evaluation using both metrics (accuracy/hallucination/latency/cost) and real user feedback to drive reliability.”

Alp Komban

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision for medical imaging

Mountain View, CA2y exp

“Applied ML/LLM practitioner working in healthcare-facing products, using RAG and LoRA fine-tuning on medical data and implementing production monitoring (confidence scoring) for clinician oversight. Has hands-on experience debugging agentic/LLM pipelines (including OCR preprocessing fixes) and regularly delivers technical demos to doctors, investors, and conferences—contributing to adoption and even helping close a funding round through end-to-end pipeline walkthroughs.”

Syed Daim Ali

Intern Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and AI platforms

Sunnyvale, CA0y exp

“Systems-focused engineer who built an OS kernel with multithreading, priority scheduling, system calls, and synchronization primitives, and debugged race conditions end-to-end. While not yet hands-on with ROS/SLAM, they clearly connect low-level concurrency and scheduling decisions to deterministic, reliable robotics-style real-time workloads.”

“Built a production-grade agentic document intake system that converts PDFs into structured records with strict schema validation, confidence-based retries, and a human review UI. Demonstrates strong practical judgment around making LLM systems reliable in enterprise workflows, including custom orchestration, observability, and continuous evals rather than relying on off-the-shelf abstractions.”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned high-volume Java/Spring Boot microservices on AWS (Kafka + RDS/DynamoDB) and has hands-on experience debugging complex production latency incidents across DB, JVM/GC, and async consumers. Also shipped applied AI features for ops, including an LLM-powered log analysis assistant and an incident-response agent with strong safety guardrails (schema-validated tool use, retries/backoff, and human-in-the-loop escalation).”

“Backend/AI engineer at Intuit who built a production AI-powered case assistant for support agents (FastAPI on AWS EKS) combining Postgres case data, OpenSearch retrieval with embedding reranking, and internal LLMs. Improved peak-season reliability by diagnosing P95/P99 timeout spikes and cutting P95 latency from ~800ms to <400ms via composite indexing, keyset pagination, connection pool tuning, and caching, while adding grounded-generation guardrails (evidence packs, confidence thresholds, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop).”

“FinTech/AI engineer who has shipped an end-to-end discrepancy-detection product for financial managers using Next.js, FastAPI/GraphQL, Pinecone, and AWS (with dev/staging/prod, observability, A/B testing, and documentation). Also built an AI-native “AI Genesis” system with agentic cyclic workflows, routing, and tool use, and has experience modernizing legacy systems via the strangler fig pattern while coordinating with senior stakeholders on a 5G autonomous simulation platform.”
