Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in Unity XR/VR training simulations

Remote, USA8y exp

“Unity/C# VR developer who owned a next-gen replay/review system end-to-end, improving determinism so recorded actions (e.g., shots) replayed consistently. Also built a Jenkins-triggered GameDriver-based VR QA automation suite that ran nightly builds and cut manual QA effort by ~75%, and contributed to Photon PUN multiuser mode with hands-on network debugging.”

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned a real-time data ingestion/processing/reporting API built with FastAPI, Redis, and Celery, including performance tuning via query/index optimization, caching, and async workers. Strong Kubernetes + CI/CD + GitOps (ArgoCD) experience, plus hands-on monitoring/logging (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK) and a Kafka/Spark real-time streaming project from their master’s program.”

“Built and shipped a production RAG system (“TROJAN KNOWLEDGE”) for answering questions over technical PDFs, using a 3-stage retrieval stack (BM25 + FAISS + cross-encoder) to lift F1 from 71% to 84%. Drove major performance gains with a 3-level cache (memory/Redis/disk) cutting latency from ~200ms to ~10ms, and added Prometheus/Grafana monitoring plus LangChain-based fallback logic to handle OpenAI rate limits under load.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in scalable web applications

Memphis, TN5y exp

“Developer who uses AI tools pragmatically to accelerate coding while keeping full ownership of system design and decision-making. Emphasizes rigorous review, testing, and alignment with architecture, security, and performance standards, and stays current on AI through both industry sources and hands-on experimentation.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who has built AI-powered analytics products from 0→1, including a predictive analytics dashboard and an AI orchestrator for natural-language-to-database querying. Particularly strong in making LLM systems production-safe through schema validation, self-healing retries, monitoring, and retrieval optimization, with quantified impact on cost, latency, and quality.”

“Built across cloud infrastructure, AI-powered product workflows, and backend data reliability in environments including Northeastern, Knead, and Grafx. Particularly compelling for roles needing someone who can both ship AWS-based systems end-to-end and debug messy production issues involving caching, APIs, and data pipelines.”

Executive technology leader specializing in cloud architecture and Healthcare IT

Summerville, SC20y exp

“Startup-focused builder currently developing a values-driven multi-platform mobile app in beta. Previously led a major technical turnaround at Lucina Analytics, taking the product from 0-to-1 and rebuilding it into an enterprise Azure-based SaaS platform that contributed to its acquisition by Unified Women's Health.”

“Product engineer/designer with founder mindset who shipped a blockchain-enabled investor group/governance platform using Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Prisma/Postgres, and Temporal. Emphasizes auth-centric onboarding (SSO + embedded wallet) to make dApp UX feel more like SaaS, and brings strong reliability practices (idempotent retries, reconciliation) plus experience demoing to investors and operating in seed-stage teams (ex-Vouched).”

“Full-stack engineer with strong Next.js App Router/TypeScript experience who built production dataset search/filtering and data-heavy dashboards backed by Postgres. Demonstrates hands-on performance work across the stack (EXPLAIN ANALYZE, composite indexes, caching, React profiling/memoization) and has built durable, Temporal-like orchestrated data-processing workflows with idempotency and retry strategies in an early-stage startup environment (Gaia AI).”

“Backend and distributed-systems engineer with experience integrating LLM capabilities into clinical data workflows at CVS. Stands out for treating AI as an engineering accelerator rather than a shortcut, with strong emphasis on validation, observability, Kafka-based async pipelines, and safe multi-agent orchestration for production systems.”
