New York, NY5y exp

“Backend engineer with production experience building and scaling a Java/Spring Boot payment processing API on AWS (PostgreSQL/Redis) handling a few thousand RPS, including deep performance debugging (connection exhaustion) and observability (CloudWatch, Actuator, Zipkin). Also shipped application-layer AI features (OpenAI email summarizer with feedback loop, ~40% faster agent response times) and designed reliable multi-step workflow orchestration with retries and manual escalation, plus strong SQL tuning and Python engineering practices.”

California, USA5y exp

“TypeScript backend/full-stack engineer who owned an internal business workflow platform end-to-end in production, including API/data design, relational DB integration, and enterprise integrations. Has hands-on experience operating workflow processing services with Kafka-style event-driven patterns, idempotency, exponential backoff retries, dead-letter queues, and strong observability, plus API design with OpenAPI/Swagger and token-based auth.”

“Software developer with hands-on experience refactoring a legacy .NET CMS into a newer API-driven application (ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript/HTML), including dynamic asset migration and resolving team merge conflicts in Bitbucket. Built automated tests with PyTest and used Postman for API validation, and leveraged Splunk for production issue detection; also worked on an end-to-end ticketing/workflow management project with prioritization and verification steps.”

Shashwat Negi

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML and full-stack systems

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Data Scientist (2–3 years) at ZS Associates who has built and productionized agentic LLM systems, including a LangGraph-based multi-LLM prompt-optimization pipeline for entity extraction deployed as a Spring Boot microservice via Jenkins. Also built an Insightmate.ai chatbot and improved its RAG accuracy by diagnosing vector retrieval issues and implementing HyDE query expansion, while partnering with sales and pharma stakeholders to drive adoption (e.g., Zimmer Biomet platform migration into a multi-year partnership).”

Lokesh Jain

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in supply chain and healthcare systems

Bentonville, AR6y exp

“Built and deployed AcademiQ Ai, a production LLM-based teaching assistant using GPT/BERT with RAG (LangChain + Pinecone) to handle large student notes and generate adaptive explanations/quizzes. Demonstrated measurable retrieval-quality gains (18% precision improvement, 22% less irrelevant context) by tuning similarity thresholds and chunking based on user satisfaction signals. Also orchestrated terabyte-scale, real-time demand forecasting pipelines using Airflow and Kubeflow on GCP with strong monitoring, shadow deployment, and feedback-loop practices.”

Amit Verma

Mid-level Java Full-Stack Engineer specializing in healthcare and enterprise microservices

Birmingham, AL6y exp

“Developer who actively integrates AI tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, and Cursor into day-to-day coding, testing, debugging, and framework learning to improve delivery speed. They also organize multi-agent workflows across code generation, review, testing, and documentation while retaining final ownership of quality and architecture decisions.”

“Software engineer focused on internal platform and workflow automation, with hands-on experience building a React/TypeScript + .NET/MSSQL application that streamlined laptop provisioning for employees. Also contributed in a very early-stage startup setting by introducing Agile process and helping shape initial architecture, and is now expanding Python/AI skills while looking to deepen Go and Kubernetes expertise.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience spanning React/TypeScript frontend architecture, .NET/Entity Framework backend services, and database optimization. Has owned end-to-end features like payment processing flows and also helped ship a 0→1 AI developer productivity capability, showing a mix of product sense, startup speed, and practical performance engineering.”

“Full-stack engineer who has owned an operations/reporting dashboard end-to-end, spanning React/TypeScript frontend architecture, ASP.NET Core APIs, and SQL data access. Stands out for combining strong UI performance optimization with pragmatic backend decisions, post-launch monitoring, and 0→1 startup platform building that improved API speed by 35% while supporting 2,000+ transactions per hour.”

“Data and backend-focused engineer with hands-on experience spanning GenAI applications, production telemetry systems, and large-scale ETL pipelines. They combine modern AI stack work (React, FastAPI, LangChain, ChromaDB) with measurable production impact, including 90% lower DB insertion latency, 50% higher ETL throughput, and 99.9% data quality in distributed environments.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLM automation and healthcare analytics

Dallas, TX4y exp

“Full-stack AI engineer who has repeatedly taken ambiguous automation and agentic products from prototype to production, including a BRD automation platform that cut manual processing by 70% and a healthcare RAG assistant with long-term memory. Stands out for combining backend/AI orchestration depth with strong product instincts around trust, observability, security, and non-technical user experience.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned production retail and order/inventory systems end-to-end, using Spring Boot microservices with Kafka event-driven workflows. Strong in production correctness patterns (idempotency, retries/DLQs, schema versioning) plus observability (Prometheus/Grafana) and developer-facing API design (Swagger, OAuth2/JWT, versioning/deprecation). Also built TypeScript/React SPAs and cited ~40% UI performance improvement.”

Muhammad Ali

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud-native FinTech and AI systems

Virginia, USA9y exp

“DevOps-focused engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience in early-stage startup environments, working on small teams to modernize CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments. They report reducing release times from hours to minutes, improving reliability and production recovery, and building backend APIs and automation for an internal SaaS platform shaped by security, scale, and compliance requirements.”

“Engineering leader focused on developer platforms and identity: led a 5-person team building a multi-tenant IAM framework extending Duende IdentityServer, including governance, API standards, and multi-language SDKs. Drove major API architecture improvements by introducing GraphQL alongside REST, cutting client calls from 4 to 1 and reducing payload size by 60% within 6 months, with strong emphasis on stability (semver, E2E tests, feature flags, blue-green deploys).”
