Dallas, TX5y exp

“Data/NLP practitioner who builds production-oriented pipelines for unstructured text: entity extraction, topic modeling (LDA/BERTopic), and semantic search using Sentence-BERT embeddings with FAISS. Emphasizes rigorous evaluation (coherence/silhouette + manual review), entity resolution with validation, and scalable workflow orchestration using Airflow/Prefect with Spark/Dask.”

“Early-career software engineer who has already owned a real-world web product end-to-end for a 100+ member university ACM organization, including requirements gathering, UI/UX improvements, hosting, CI/CD, and ongoing maintenance. Brings hands-on React and full-stack project experience with a strong bias toward practical execution, mobile-friendly design, and reliable delivery.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on reliability in real-time sensor pipelines and ROS/ROS2 integration, with hands-on experience hardening systems against noisy data, dropouts, and network variability. Uses ROS introspection tools plus simulation (Gazebo/Webots) to diagnose latency and stability issues before hardware deployment, and supports repeatable rollouts via Docker and CI/CD.”

“Full-stack engineer (4+ years) with a Master’s in Computer Science who owned end-to-end customer-facing social networking features at NextBits, building TypeScript/React/Next.js + NestJS systems with microservices, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and Redis. Experienced scaling real-time notifications/messaging/presence to millions of concurrent users with sub-100ms performance targets, zero-downtime CI/CD, and internal tooling for monitoring AI/ML pipelines and queue backlogs.”

“Python backend developer from Larix Technologies who built and scaled microservice APIs for an omnichannel messaging SaaS (WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook) and led production performance fixes during peak traffic, cutting webhook latency ~50%. Also shipped applied AI products end-to-end: a RAG-based PDF assistant (LangChain + Mixtral via Groq + React) and a BI agent that plans/executes/verifies multi-step analytics with strong guardrails and auditability.”
