Vetted Vercel Professionals

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who ships AI-enabled products end-to-end: built CodeChat, a production internal codebase Q&A tool using RAG with Pinecone and a model-agnostic wrapper across OpenAI/Anthropic/AWS Bedrock, cutting AWS costs ~50% and latency ~45%. Also built and operated RealityStream, a Flask-based real-time forecasting API with JWT/RBAC, MLflow model versioning, and Prometheus/Grafana observability, including handling a real production latency incident via rollback, preloading, and caching.”

“QA engineer with Citibank experience owning mobile automation and cross-platform validation (Android/iOS), including push notifications, RBAC, and backend API/data sync checks. Demonstrates strong Cypress/JavaScript E2E expertise—stabilizing CI-flaky React tests via cy.intercept—and builds pragmatic GitLab CI pipelines with smoke/regression gating plus rich reporting (Cypress Dashboard, Slack).”

“Early engineer at a fast-growing startup who owned an AI-powered portfolio/site generation workflow end-to-end (frontend in Next.js App Router/TypeScript through backend orchestration). Emphasizes server-first security/performance (Server Components/Actions, revalidation), and production hardening with validation, caching, observability, retries/idempotency, and CI/E2E testing.”

“Former co-founder at PreConception (acquired) who partnered closely with Operations, Legal, and Medical teams to deliver a HIPAA-compliant product meeting technical and regulatory requirements. Motivated by mission and team fit, and interested in a Venture Studio CTO path with a focus on 0-to-1 building and early validation via beta testing/PMF.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, AI/LLM integration, and cloud infrastructure

Brooklyn, NY6y exp

“Backend engineer with experience in highly regulated and high-stakes systems, including an airline crew messaging platform requiring near-zero-error real-time operations and a HIPAA-compliant mental health application built from an early-stage concept. They also show strong operational maturity, having owned a GoDaddy production incident through resolution and then led deployment pipeline improvements that reduced build failures by 40% and doubled deployment frequency.”

“Front-end developer with experience spanning agency, product, and brand-driven web work, including Just Eat and SEO-focused client projects. Particularly strong in building multi-brand, config-driven booking flows, improving conversion with analytics, and modernizing legacy sites with cleaner CMS and TypeScript/React-based approaches.”

“Software engineer with Prudential Financial experience building enterprise Spring Boot microservices for policy/risk assessment, including integrating Python ML models via Flask and hardening services with resiliency patterns. Also led an AWS lift-and-shift modernization during an internship (EC2/ELB/Route53/Auto Scaling) and built a personal diffusion-model text-to-music project using BERT tokens mapped to Mel spectrograms.”

“Full-stack engineer with 8 years of experience spanning regulated healthcare IoT and enterprise security SaaS. Has worked on a high-growth healthcare equipment platform and DigiCert's certificate lifecycle management product, combining hands-on React/Node.js development with compliance, auditability, and reliability requirements. Currently seeking a more code-heavy role after moving into a more advisory position.”

“Built and deployed a live production LLM document Q&A platform (DocumindAI) with an adaptive RAG pipeline (Claude + Cohere embeddings + pgvector), source-cited structured outputs, and engineered fallbacks for reliability and sub-2s latency. Also has enterprise integration experience at Tech Mahindra working with messy IFS ERP XML integrations, using validation/normalization and JTA transactions to prevent partial writes and data corruption.”

Senior Creative Technologist & Full-Stack UX Engineer specializing in Generative AI and XR

Los Altos, CA12y exp

“Design engineer/product designer who built an end-to-end creator + review/moderation system for a UGC platform, spanning automated checks, human QA, final review, and creator feedback. Comfortable working directly with HTML/CSS/TypeScript and component systems, using prototyping and field observation to reduce reviewer hesitation, improve consistency, and prevent creator errors upstream.”

“Analytics-focused candidate with experience building SQL/Python pipelines and dashboards for donor, campaign, and website performance reporting. They have worked with messy multi-source data, standardized metric definitions, and delivered automated reporting that reportedly reduced manual effort by about 80%.”

“Front-end engineer with hands-on ownership of a React/TypeScript workforce management platform used by site managers and field workers in the energy sector. Stands out for building scalable, reusable UI architecture for complex task/checklist workflows while also improving real-world usability and performance through pagination, bulk actions, and close feedback loops with operational users.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production-grade Python microservices and AWS platforms, including a hybrid Lambda + ECS Fargate architecture managed with Terraform and CI/CD. Has hands-on reliability experience (JWT/OAuth, timeouts, retries, centralized error classification) and built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines consolidating PostgreSQL/RDS, MongoDB, and S3 sources into curated partitioned Parquet datasets. Demonstrated measurable SQL tuning impact (8 minutes to 25 seconds) and disciplined legacy-to-modern migrations with parity validation and UAT sign-off.”

“Founding/solo engineer who rebuilt an early-stage product from the ground up: Ask NETA, an AI assistant for electricians to answer complex electrical code questions. Delivered a full-stack TypeScript system (React web + React Native iOS/Android, Express API, Postgres on AWS) with CI/CD, observability, and a Vertex AI RAG pipeline, reaching 3,000 MAUs in the first month; also built a real-time distributed scoring system handling unreliable hardware data with sequencing and retries.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on production experience building real-time customer-facing features (order tracking + push notifications) across React/React Native and Node/Spring Boot with Postgres/MySQL. Demonstrates strong reliability patterns (transactional outbox, background workers, idempotent webhook ingestion) and has deployed/operated systems on AWS (ECS/Fargate/ALB, CloudWatch, CodePipeline) with structured observability and environment separation.”

“Engineer focused on AI-assisted software development and enterprise legacy modernization, with hands-on experience designing multi-agent workflows for code analysis, business logic extraction, BRD generation, and validation. Stands out for combining prompt design and agent orchestration with strong engineering discipline, including testing, CI/CD, and human review checkpoints.”

“Built both a React/Supabase kanban product and CodeVoyage, a multi-agent platform for navigating large TypeScript/Node.js codebases. Stands out for being unusually rigorous about AI-assisted development: they quantify AI usage, manually verify generated code, and have firsthand experience debugging failures in persistence layers, retrieval quality, and long-context agent orchestration.”
