Oakland, CA5y exp

“Early-stage startup full-stack engineer who built an inventory and billing management product for retail shop owners in India, iterating quickly based on customer feedback. Has hands-on experience designing scalable cloud infrastructure on GCP with Kubernetes and applying clean architecture for testable, modular systems; also built internal monitoring dashboards for error and performance visibility.”

“Frontend engineer experienced delivering React + TypeScript dashboards end-to-end, including real-time updates via WebSockets and scalable component architecture. Has improved inherited codebases by building shared component libraries and performance optimizations (lazy loading/memoization), reporting ~20% faster feature delivery, and ships major features with QA rigor and feature-flagged rollouts driven by analytics and user feedback.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with healthcare payer experience at HCSC, focused on connecting messy unstructured clinical notes to structured claims/provider data to improve fraud-analytics workflows. Has hands-on experience fine-tuning transformers in AWS SageMaker, building large-scale embedding search with FAISS, and implementing robust entity resolution using golden datasets, precision/recall calibration, and production monitoring for drift.”

“QA automation engineer with 7+ years across finance/healthcare/utility/services, specializing in Selenium + Cucumber and building automation frameworks. Has tested machine-learning-powered claims prediction features and uncovered complex timing/concurrency failures in subscription payments by simulating delayed webhooks and parallel execution, then driving production fixes end-to-end using disciplined Jira workflows.”
