Vetted Schema Validation Professionals

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer who has shipped a modular, data-driven combat ability system with strong measurable outcomes (≈80% fewer GC allocations, 15–20% better frame times, 10–12% higher early retention). Also integrated an LLM-driven NPC dialogue/quest hint system with a C#/.NET backend, caching/guardrails, and telemetry-driven iteration, and shipped Photon PUN real-time 4-player co-op plus a shared codebase across Meta Quest VR and iOS/Android.”

“Backend/platform engineer with deep AWS experience who built a high-reliability ingestion platform (Lambda + Step Functions + DynamoDB) that became the single source of truth for training/qualification certification data across an AU region, handling high-volume async updates with strong consistency controls. Also led a major API migration from Lambda to ECS/Fargate to eliminate cold starts and increase throughput, and has hands-on EKS/Kubernetes operations plus Kafka partitioning/ordering expertise.”

“ML/robotics engineer with Apple experience who built a computer-vision-driven industrial defect detection system integrating a robotic arm with ROS-based real-time inference on an edge GPU. Drove major performance gains (cut inference time ~60% via quantization + TensorRT) and improved robustness to lighting/material variation, with strong emphasis on production reliability (health checks, watchdogs, observability, CI/CD) and interest in shaping early-stage startup engineering culture.”

Mid-level Backend/Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech payments

Tempe, AZ4y exp

“Full-stack engineer who has owned an operational reporting/dashboard product end-to-end—building a React UI, designing/implementing FastAPI services, and deploying/operating on AWS. Demonstrates strong performance engineering (Postgres query/index tuning using EXPLAIN ANALYZE) with concrete impact (reports reduced from tens of seconds to a few seconds) and a reliability mindset across observability, migrations, and resilient third-party/ETL integrations.”

“Full-stack builder with hands-on experience shipping both location-based consumer products and AI-driven data platforms. Has owned end-to-end systems across React/Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Streamlit, and geospatial tooling, with a strong emphasis on modular architecture, LLM reliability, and turning messy real-world data into usable product experiences.”

“Full-stack engineer with a strong mix of real-time product engineering and applied AI experience. Built and deployed a production stock trading simulator on AWS and an LLM-based customer support agent with RAG/tooling, and also shipped a zero-to-one in-store detection feature at Meituan that improved CTR by 7% and conversion by 11%.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building FastAPI services with strong reliability patterns (circuit breaker, rate limiting, caching, graceful degradation) and JWT/OAuth2 auth. Has delivered AWS EKS deployments via Terraform with Secrets Manager/IRSA and HPA autoscaling, and built Glue/Spark ETL pipelines on S3 Parquet with schema-evolution and idempotent reruns; also demonstrated measurable SQL tuning impact (20–30s to <10s).”

“Amazon engineer who built an Amazon Bedrock-powered summarization layer over large-scale network/service telemetry (“top talker” insights) to help security engineers triage anomalies faster. Emphasizes production-grade design patterns for LLM features—non-blocking enrichment, deterministic fallbacks, strict structured outputs, and monitoring to preserve trust in source-of-truth telemetry.”

“Built and shipped a production agentic RAG system for healthcare analysts that automated compliance/operations knowledge retrieval across PDFs, reports, and databases. Emphasizes production reliability (monitoring, retries, fallbacks, async queues), strong evaluation/iteration loops, and measurable impact (3–10s responses and ~98% top-k retrieval accuracy).”

“Backend owner at Apple for an AI workflow orchestration service, with hands-on experience stabilizing peak-traffic production systems using OpenTelemetry-style tracing, bounded async concurrency, and database performance tuning. Built and shipped a Python LLM-agent orchestration layer to automate multi-step operational workflows, emphasizing guardrails, auditability, and deterministic fallbacks to keep non-deterministic AI behavior production-safe.”

“Meta engineer focused on reliability/operations tooling who built a unified real-time health dashboard and scalable telemetry pipelines (AWS + Datadog) for thousands of devices. Also shipped an internal LLM-powered knowledge assistant using RAG over wikis/runbooks/logs with strong guardrails and a rigorous eval loop that drove measurable accuracy improvements via automated doc ingestion and embedding updates.”

Junior Backend/Platform Engineer specializing in AI microservices and cloud-native systems

Pittsburgh, PA2y exp

“Cofounder at MeowyAI who shipped a production multimodal (vision/voice/text) AI task manager using Gemini, tackling real-world issues like hallucinations, tool-calling safety, and RAG-based preference memory. Also built a production multi-agent RAG system orchestrated with LangGraph (and contributes to LangChain), with strong emphasis on latency optimization, observability (OpenTelemetry), and rigorous testing/evaluation including A/B tests and adversarial prompting.”

“Built GenMedX, a multi-module clinical AI system for emergency department decision support spanning triage prediction, diagnosis, medication Q&A, and visit summarization. Stands out for combining medical LLM fine-tuning, RAG, and rigorous evaluation/monitoring to drive a major triage recall improvement from 38.5% to 76.6%, with a strong focus on safety, edge-case detection, and production reliability.”

Entry-level AI/ML Software Engineer specializing in generative AI and computer vision

Pittsburgh, PA2y exp

“Built and owned a production RAG coding assistant at Magna International used by 200 engineers, with hands-on work across React/TypeScript, retrieval infrastructure, and Postgres observability. Also brings an unusual blend of product UX thinking from AR game onboarding work, showing strength in both technical systems reliability and user activation.”

“AI/full-stack engineer with hands-on production experience across React/TypeScript, Go, and Python, spanning an early-stage education startup and a compliance-sensitive internal healthcare data platform.
