Vetted Schema Design Professionals

“Data engineer with eBay experience owning end-to-end pipelines for real-time order and user behavior analytics at 10M+ records/day. Strong in PySpark/SQL transformations, Airflow reliability patterns, and production observability (CloudWatch), with measurable outcomes including improved data quality and 30–40% query performance gains. Also built Python data APIs for analytics/ML consumers with versioning and backward compatibility.”

Junior Product Designer specializing in AI-powered SaaS products

New York, NY3y exp

“Product-minded designer/builder who operates at the intersection of UX, support, and engineering. At Miter, they helped launch three products and built the customer-facing readiness layer that contributed to a 15% adoption increase; at Yacht Labs, they designed and implemented high-polish React/Next.js experiences and proposed a spec-driven app generation system to make AI output more controllable and trustworthy.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience using AI coding tools like Claude Code and Augment in daily development, combined with real-world distributed systems work at Arista Networks. Built or worked on a Go-based platform that separated RBAC, audit logging, and provisioning into asynchronously communicating services, enabling scalable and independently evolving access-control workflows.”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience at AWS building a global alarm processing platform (Python, Lambda/SQS/DynamoDB) handling traffic spikes and reliability issues; resolved duplicate alerts and latency under load by fixing hot partitions and enforcing idempotency. Previously at Cognizant, built Java/PostgreSQL backend workflows for healthcare dashboards using pre-aggregated summary tables, strong SQL optimization, and state-driven job orchestration with ELK-based observability and production guardrails.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with e-commerce and analytics experience who modernized synchronous order workflows into a Kafka-based event-driven architecture (Java/Spring Boot) to reduce checkout latency and peak-traffic failures. Has built production FastAPI services with JWT/RBAC and strong testing/observability, delivered React+TypeScript reporting dashboards, and handled AWS scaling incidents end-to-end (RDS read latency mitigated with read replicas and query tuning).”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack SaaS and Healthcare IT

San Francisco, CA8y exp

“Product-minded software engineer from Gusto who has shipped internal AI agent capabilities and end-to-end user-facing features across frontend and backend. Stands out for making pragmatic architecture tradeoffs—moving from OpenAI prototypes to deterministic systems when accuracy, latency, and uptime mattered—while still improving LLM workflow quality and reducing tool-calling errors by 15%.”

“Backend/AI workflow engineer with PayPal experience building workflow-driven financial compliance systems (Python/Java, Postgres, AWS/EKS) at thousands of executions/day. Has shipped production LLM-powered document extraction with strict schema/rule validation, auditability, and human-in-the-loop fallbacks, and has deep expertise in reliability (idempotency, locking, state machines) and Postgres performance tuning.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in cloud platforms, data engineering, and distributed systems

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an AI-assisted job-matching dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, keeping LLM logic server-side and improving performance via deduplication, caching/revalidation, and streaming (35% fewer duplicate LLM calls; 40% faster first render). Also has strong data/backend chops: designed Postgres models and optimized queries at million-record scale (1.8s to 120ms) and built durable AWS multi-region telemetry workflows with idempotency, retries, and monitoring.”

“Full-stack developer who built a learning management web app end-to-end using React, Spring Boot, and MySQL, integrating APIs via Axios and validating/testing with Postman. Has experience handling data-heavy workloads (courses, quiz results) and improving performance with pagination, and is comfortable designing microservice-style endpoints with CI/CD considerations.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered multi-agent system that autonomously generates and publishes YouTube videos end-to-end (trend discovery, script writing, image/caption generation, timestamped video assembly). Emphasizes production readiness with extensive automated testing, Redis/Postgres/TimescaleDB state orchestration, and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, reporting ~100x faster content production and improved engagement/viewership.”
