“Candidate is deeply focused on AI-native software development, using a deliberate planner/implementer agent workflow with tools like Cursor, Claude, and Kimi. They also built a personal project called Config Proctor, an AI-agent-driven Terraform/AWS self-healing system that identifies infrastructure configuration gaps and proposes fixes.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and full-stack web development

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Backend engineer at Electric Hydrogen who built a serverless device-log ingestion and processing platform in Python/Flask, scaling throughput (4x peak ingestion) while keeping sub-300ms API latency. Strong in Postgres/SQLAlchemy performance (partitioning, materialized views) and production ML integration (ONNX model served via FastAPI microservice with async batch inference, Redis feature caching, and drift monitoring via S3/Lambda). Experienced designing secure multi-tenant systems with schema-per-tenant isolation and KMS-backed encryption.”

“Robotics-focused engineer with ROS 2 experience who has built and debugged real-time, distributed control/orchestration systems under production-like latency and safety constraints. Led platform changes at Persona for a real-time verification orchestration system using deterministic state machines and async workers, and has hands-on experience stabilizing multi-robot navigation/SLAM behavior using rosbag, RViz, and stress testing in simulation (Gazebo).”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned a production recruiting platform end-to-end (TypeScript/Node microservices for scraping/cleaning/serving job data, RabbitMQ for spike handling, MongoDB + Elasticsearch, AWS containers) with pragmatic CI, logging/alerts, and Docker Compose E2E tests. Also operated high-traffic event pipelines during a Binance internship using Kafka + Redis idempotency, with strong observability and failure-mode/rollback/degradation practices, and has experience designing developer-friendly REST APIs and resilient browser automation for E2E flows.”

“Co-founded academic-index (10,000+ users) and built a full-stack Next.js 14 document upload + client-side OCR + Gemini-powered analysis pipeline with strong production reliability (custom monitoring, retries, quality gates) and measurable gains (accuracy ~94%→98.5%, failures down ~60%). Also owns end-to-end biometric data visualization and a data-driven brand/UX overhaul at pre-seed health/performance startup Absolute Rest, with a background running a multi-client dev studio (Zen Digital).”

Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed microservices and event-driven systems

Fremont, CA10y exp

“Backend engineer with production experience building a high-scale notification pipeline (~20M/day) using Java/Dropwizard with Kafka and Azure Queue, including DLQ/poison-message handling and the outbox pattern for reliability. Also led a batch-based migration of Yammer Messaging user data from PostgreSQL to Azure Cosmos DB for global multi-region scale, addressing throttling and network failures via retries, escalation policies, and dynamic throughput tuning.”

“Full-stack engineer with Uber experience building finance/billing reconciliation systems: shipped and owned an internal operations dashboard (Next.js App Router/TypeScript) that cut investigation time from hours to minutes and improved load time from ~6–7s to <2s. Deep in Postgres modeling and performance (sub-200ms optimized queries) plus durable event-driven workflow orchestration with idempotency, retries/backoff, DLQs, and reconciliation jobs; also has seed-to-Series C startup experience emphasizing end-to-end ownership.”
