Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in backend systems and AI applications

Remote13y exp

“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.”

“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.”

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices and React

Los Angeles, CA14y exp

“Backend/data engineer with strong AWS production experience spanning high-traffic FastAPI APIs (Postgres/Redis/Kafka) and serverless+container deployments (Lambda/ECS) managed via Terraform and CI/CD. Has built Glue-based data lake ETL (S3 Parquet, Athena/Redshift) with schema drift/data quality controls, modernized legacy batch systems via parallel-run parity validation, and demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (60–90s down to 3–5s).”

“Backend engineer who evolved the X-Ray gaming analytics platform, leading a zero-downtime MongoDB→AWS DocumentDB migration with dual-write, checksum-based validation, and Kubernetes canary rollouts while maintaining real-time monitoring for millions of concurrent sessions. Strong in FastAPI/Python API scaling and performance tuning (cut latency from ~2s to <150ms and reduced DB load 90%) plus production-grade auth/RLS security patterns (JWT, Supabase Auth, PostgreSQL RLS).”
