“Built and operated a production warehouse metadata collection platform at Sigma Computing, integrating Go/gRPC services with a TypeScript backend and MySQL, with strong emphasis on idempotency, retries, bounded-concurrency job queues, and Datadog-based observability. Also created Kurral (kurral.com), an AI agent runtime security and observability/governance SDK/proxy concept, iterating via pilot-customer feedback and market research; targeting founding engineer roles with $180–200k base and ~2–5% equity.”

Staff Software Engineer specializing in scalable backend and full-stack web systems

Burlingame, CA32y exp

“Frontend-leaning full-stack product engineer with IMVU experience who designed both user-facing flows and the production telemetry behind them. Most notably, they built a JavaScript crash detection system using signature-based aggregation and Redis that helped reduce crash volume from millions per day to tens of thousands, and they pair that reliability mindset with reusable UI architecture and onboarding design for consumer social products.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who described owning an artist search and detail experience across UI, backend integrations, and data modeling. They show practical strength in scalable React architecture, TypeScript safety, and performance tuning, with a product-minded approach to shipping 0→1 features quickly and iterating after launch.”

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.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has built a rule-service platform on AWS and evolved it into an agentic RAG system using LangChain, ReAct, tool calling, and LLM-as-judge review. Notable for combining heavy AI-assisted development with production safeguards like manual CR, CloudWatch monitoring, fallback strategies, benchmark testing, and user-feedback-driven model improvement.”

“Freelance CTO with a track record of founding and building early web products, including an award-winning baby website creation platform that was acquired by eStyle after gaining traction via retail/mail-order distribution and PR. Also built a sports event text-alert product, engineering around missing data APIs via a replaceable scraping layer.”

“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).”
