“Startup-focused builder who created and iterated an MVP for Enky, a two-sided marketplace connecting music artists and creators, informed by hundreds of customer interviews. Implemented CI/CD, monitoring (PostHog/Sentry), and a complex payout pipeline involving scraping social platforms and routing escrow payments via Stripe, and has a track record of quickly debugging production issues (e.g., iOS-specific OAuth cookie failures).”

“Software developer who actively integrates AI coding tools like ClaudeCode, Codex, and ChatGPT into day-to-day development for brainstorming, planning, and reducing boilerplate work. They show thoughtful awareness of agent limitations such as hallucinations and use markdown-based project context files to improve output quality.”

“Engineering/CTO-style leader with hands-on architecture experience who has driven end-to-end modernization of a manual antiques auction operation—building centralized web-accessible data systems, digitizing historical records via OCR/freelancers, and defining profitability-focused KPIs with an eye toward predictive modeling. Emphasizes provider-agnostic, containerized SaaS architecture to avoid vendor lock-in and has experience scaling a small engineering team with ownership-based culture and lightweight processes.”

“Product-minded engineer who has owned features end-to-end, including a full onboarding redesign that lifted completion ~25% and a production LLM/RAG report-generation system with strong guardrails (schema-constrained JSON, confidence gating, logging) and an automated eval/regression loop built from real user queries. Also built a scalable research data pipeline ingesting messy PDFs/JSON/CSVs with normalization, idempotent reruns, observability, and cost/latency tradeoffs.”

3y exp

“Built and production-deployed a Streamlit-based PDF RAG chatbot using LangChain (FAISS, embeddings, prompt templates) and OpenAI, optimizing Streamlit’s stateless behavior by caching vector DB + chat history to cut latency and API cost. Demonstrates a rigorous evaluation mindset (gold datasets, unit tests, LLM-as-judge, groundedness KPIs) and has experience communicating privacy/accuracy safeguards (RBAC, data masking, citations) to a non-technical client at Kalven Technologies.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience across platform modernization, production AI agents, and workflow automation. They led a monolith-to-microservices migration that increased deployment speed from weekly to daily, built a self-healing GPT-powered browser agent with an 85% autonomous recovery rate, and founded/ran ZapDash, where they hardened Kafka-based integrations against silent data loss.”

“Full-stack engineer with deep startup experience building products from scratch under ambiguous requirements. Delivered a scalable, admin-configurable notification platform (Spring Boot/Java/Kafka) supporting 50+ notification types across 3 channels for 10k+ users, cutting new notification setup to ~5 minutes. Also built a Tinder-meets-LinkedIn job-swiping app (React/TS + Node/Prisma) and has hands-on AWS production ops (ECS/EKS, RDS, CloudWatch) plus multiple third-party integrations (Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio).”

“Frontend engineer with experience building an orthodontics-focused IoT web product, including a complex React + TypeScript 3D treatment viewer with a layered architecture (data layer plus multiple canvas asset managers). Has applied performance techniques like caching and Web Workers to keep the UI responsive under heavy computation, and shipped monetization features such as payments and coupon/discount flows with structured QA rollout.”

“Backend Python engineer who owned the full backend build of an AI-driven platform for UK golf clubs, including FastAPI microservices, vector search, and a tuned LangChain+Pinecone RAG pipeline focused on cost and hallucination reduction. Experienced deploying Django/FastAPI/Flask stacks on AWS-backed Kubernetes with GitOps/ArgoCD-style delivery, plus executing legacy-to-AWS migrations and building Kafka-based real-time analytics pipelines.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered incident response agent for a microservices platform, automating alert triage and safe remediation recommendations with strong guardrails (RAG grounding, structured JSON outputs, rule-based validation, and human-in-the-loop). Implemented state-machine orchestration (Redis/Kafka), comprehensive eval/monitoring, and an error categorization pipeline that cut hallucination errors ~40% and reduced MTTR ~30%.”

New York City, NY4y exp

“Product designer-builder who codes, with a rare end-to-end profile spanning product strategy, UX, design systems, frontend engineering, and AI integration. Built PetCloud/PetClub as a fully solo product in Next.js/TypeScript/Supabase and has also driven measurable UX gains in company settings, including 25% higher engagement, faster design-to-dev handoff, and fewer UI bugs.”

“Full-stack developer with seven years of experience who has built production systems across AWS serverless infrastructure, Django applications, and user-facing web products in domains like emergency response, fintech/investing, recruiting, and conference management. Particularly notable for combining technical architecture with product thinking—e.g., modernizing a crash-tracking platform for emergency responders and materially improving trust-driven conversion in a trading-card fractionalization product.”

“Startup engineer who owned an end-to-end carpool marketplace experience at FavorIt (React Native, Firebase/Firestore, Cloud Functions, Stripe) and iterated rapidly using Mixpanel + feature flags while applying rigorous integrity controls for booking and payments. Also built a TypeScript/React + Go/Postgres workout tracker and previously worked on Spring Boot microservices for financial-institution workflow automation with event-driven patterns (outbox, idempotency, backpressure tuning).”
