Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in SaaS platforms and AI systems

Remote, USA26y exp

“Entrepreneurial candidate building an LLC focused on applying AI to improve call center customer service, with an early go-to-market focus on local government call centers. They are already in discussions with a government prospect and have a clear thesis around solving high turnover and low knowledge retention through AI-assisted training and support systems.”

“Geospatial/simulation specialist who built and shipped high-fidelity 3D visual databases for a DoD-used simulation/render engine, owning the full pipeline from dataset selection and ingestion (imagery/LiDAR/OSM/elevation) through performance testing and delivery. Implemented Python-based AI scripts to auto-detect terrain features and drive automated 3D scene population, and has experience with authoritative client-server synchronization (DIS) plus VR headset performance constraints (Varjo/Oculus/HoloLens at 90Hz).”

“Early-career engineer with Charles Schwab internship experience building and testing production-bound internal APIs, emphasizing architectural fit, stakeholder alignment, and systematic debugging. Also has academic Python/ML experience analyzing Oura Ring biometric data and exposure to multi-agent robotics through coursework and RoboSub.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer in lending/financial services (Kotak Mahindra Bank Autos360; currently at Ally Financial) working on Spring Boot microservices with React dashboards. Has built reliability improvements for credit-bureau integrations (Experian) and created an internal monitoring/reporting platform that aggregates metrics/logs/ETL across services, cutting troubleshooting by ~40%.”

“Open-source JavaScript library contributor/maintainer focused on performance and usability—uses profiling and user feedback to optimize large-dataset processing and modernize abstractions. Refactored a nested-callback event handling system into an observer-pattern dispatcher with batched event queues, reducing CPU usage and improving maintainability; also handles community-reported crashes by reproducing issues, fixing memory leaks, and updating docs.”

“Full-stack engineer with startup experience who owned an end-to-end rebuild of a production analytics page at VideoNest (Next.js/TypeScript frontend, FastAPI/Python backend, Postgres), including third-party data ingestion/sync and query/index optimization; the feature reached 2,500+ users and received positive feedback from large clients. Also built a habit/community mobile app (Celeri) with near-real-time step updates using polling and UI optimizations like pagination and selective re-rendering.”

“Data/analytics engineer who owned Angi’s service-request funnel event pipeline end-to-end, routing events server-side to bypass ad blockers and recovering ~15% lost tracking at millions of events/day. Built Snowflake/dbt reporting tables powering Looker dashboards, with strong emphasis on validation, monitoring/alerting, and safe schema evolution. Also shipped a reusable flow state management backend service with TTL storage, CI/CD, and developer-friendly APIs.”

Junior Full-Stack Developer specializing in MERN and AWS

Birmingham, AL3y exp

“Backend engineer focused on Python/Flask APIs and cloud-native delivery: builds stateless services with JWT auth, validation, and scalable deployment on Kubernetes using a GitOps workflow (ArgoCD-style) with easy rollbacks. Has also implemented Kafka-based real-time event pipelines and supported phased hybrid cloud/on-prem migrations with parallel runs and controlled cutovers.”

MO, USA4y exp

“Backend engineer with Morgan Stanley experience building and owning an end-to-end Python FastAPI microservice for high-volume market data used by trading and risk systems. Strong in performance tuning and reliability (PySpark, Redis caching, async APIs), real-time streaming with Kafka, and production operations (Docker/Kubernetes, GitOps-style CI/CD, monitoring). Has led cloud/on-prem migration work across AWS and Azure, including fixing Azure Synapse performance issues via query and pipeline redesign.”
