“Full-stack engineer with deep serverless AWS experience who built VidToNote, an AI video analysis platform, end-to-end using Next.js App Router/TypeScript and an event-driven pipeline (API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, SQS). Strong on production reliability and observability (CloudWatch, X-Ray, structured logging), plus data/analytics work in Postgres with measurable query optimizations and durable LLM evaluation workflows. Amazon background; integrated 22 AWS services and completed AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification within a month.”

“Full-stack engineer in the investment tracking/financial reporting space who built an automated reporting dashboard and compliance/reporting pipeline end-to-end using Next.js (App Router, server/client components), REST, and Postgres. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (~30% faster loads) through caching and query optimization, and built durable orchestrated workflows in n8n with retries, idempotency, and reconciliation checks.”

Junior Full-Stack/Mobile Engineer specializing in React Native and NestJS

Remote1y exp

“Built an AI-powered restaurant menu rewriting app that generates diet-constrained menus from photos, with a backend designed around bounded contexts and a lightweight CQRS approach. Demonstrates strong multi-tenant PostgreSQL design (RLS, tenant-scoped queries) and performance tuning (partitioning, keyset pagination, composite/partial indexes), plus AI workflow orchestration using Redis/BullMQ and Vercel AI SDK with structured outputs and evals; reduced p95 latency ~35–50% via racing LLM requests and caching.”

“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.”

“Early-career engineer (internship background) who built a production-style notes product using Next.js App Router with Server Components/Server Actions and a Postgres-backed analytics model. Demonstrates strong performance and reliability instincts—measured DB latency improvements via indexing and cursor pagination, plus durable orchestration with Temporal using idempotency and deterministic workflows.”
