Principal Software Engineer specializing in SaaS architecture and cloud platforms

Hammond, IN23y exp

“Veteran B2B SaaS engineer/technical leader with 13+ years in production systems across medical, legal, and academic conference markets. Stands out for combining hands-on full-stack and microservices architecture work with measurable business impact, including leading an early startup internationalization effort that more than doubled revenue in under a year and modernizing a declining conference platform into the market leader in its niche.”

“Data engineer in financial services (Northern Trust) who has worked across ingestion, transformation, data quality, orchestration, and serving on AWS (S3/Glue/EMR) with Airflow. Highlights include processing ~15M transactions with validation/anomaly detection for regulatory reporting and improving Snowflake query performance by 27% for risk/compliance reporting. Also built a personal real-time streaming service (FastAPI, Kafka, Redis, Cassandra) and uses production reliability patterns like blue-green/atomic swaps and robust retry strategies.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and Mortgage systems

Auburn Hills, MI3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with deep AWS serverless and reliability experience in fintech/underwriting systems, including eligibility scoring and dynamic rule deployments. Built and productionized an LLM-powered incident RCA assistant (Bedrock Claude 3 + custom RAG + React) achieving 92% precision and ~75% MTTR reduction, with mature guardrails (evals, drift monitoring, HITL, audit logs) and strong operational rigor (canaries, chaos testing, DLQ remediation).”

Senior QA Automation Engineer specializing in end-to-end and API test automation

Chicago, IL7y exp

“QA automation engineer in a banking domain who owned an end-to-end automation suite for critical money movement flows (onboarding, funding, transfers). Demonstrated impact through edge-case coverage (min balance, boundary amounts, repeated actions, timeouts), CI/CD gating with smoke vs regression suites, and catching a high-impact timing defect where UI success masked incorrect balance updates.”

Executive Technology Leader specializing in Cloud Platforms, DevOps, and AI/ML

Tampa, FL21y exp

“Early-stage startup CTO helping build an AI-powered parenting assistant app with features spanning advice, shopping, task management, and inventory management. The team is currently testing an MVP with their network while the candidate simultaneously learns the seed/Series fundraising process through Connectd and early investor conversations.”

“Frontend-leaning engineer at Exchange Lodge who recently took over an entire system end-to-end after team attrition, expanding into backend and platform ownership. They modernized a JSON-driven UI platform into a TypeScript/Angular microfrontend architecture, reporting an ~85% productivity gain, and also rebuilt documentation and developer workflows into a monorepo with AI-friendly Markdown and Mermaid diagrams.”

“Frontend engineer (Teradata) who led an enterprise analytics dashboard end-to-end, building complex React + TypeScript interfaces with near-real-time updates and large data volumes. Strong track record in scalable frontend architecture, performance tuning (render optimization, payload reduction), and quality at speed via CI/CD, automated regression testing, and incremental rollouts in an Agile environment.”

“iGaming product leader with 11 years of Product Owner experience, spanning QA automation (built a testing framework) through BA and ultimately PO for an online poker team for nearly 6 years. Has shipped and managed live web/mobile/tablet games and worked closely with compliance/UKGC on game certification and launches, using BI/data and player feedback to prioritize features and F2P retention mechanics (tournament ticket funnels, quests).”

Senior Unity Developer specializing in AI/LLM systems and multiplayer VR

Orlando, FL11y exp

“Backend/data engineer focused on AWS-native Python systems: built a FastAPI microservice on ECS/Fargate serving real-time analytics at millions of daily requests with strong reliability (OAuth2/JWT, retries/timeouts, correlation IDs) and autoscaling. Also delivered Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines to curated S3 Parquet/Athena with schema evolution + data quality controls, owned Airflow pipeline incidents, and has a track record of measurable performance and cost optimizations (e.g., ~80%+ query latency reduction; reduced logging/NAT/Fargate spend).”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered RAG knowledge system to unify operational/policy information across PDFs, wikis, and databases, emphasizing auditability and low-latency/cost performance. Improved answer relevance at scale by moving from pure vector search to hybrid retrieval with metadata filtering and reranking, and partnered closely with healthcare operations/compliance to define acceptance criteria and human-in-the-loop guardrails.”
