Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI-powered web applications

San Francisco, CA1y exp

“Startup-focused engineer who has shipped Python backend features, AI integrations, and Playwright automation for products including an AI coaching platform and hiring workflow tools. Stands out for working through ambiguous zero-spec environments, hardening flaky Firebase-authenticated test flows, and designing practical fallback paths when AI outputs are unreliable.”

“IBM Power/AIX engineer who has owned a large production estate (20+ Power9/Power10 frames and 400+ LPARs) with vHMC and dual-VIOS HA. Has hands-on incident recovery experience (NPIV/RMC issues, LPM restores) and PowerHA failovers, plus modern DevOps exposure using Terraform on AWS and CI/CD with GitHub Actions/Jenkins (including deploying AI/RAG and vision workloads).”

“Manual QA tester with ~3 years of experience and a strong gamer/end-user mindset, aiming to transition into console game testing. Has provided UX-focused feedback to product leadership and prefers a collaborative, less-structured workflow (e.g., live testing with engineers in local environments to reduce downstream defects). Not yet familiar with console certification standards (TRC/XR/LOT) but highly motivated to learn.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based internal document Q&A system using LangChain, vector search, and a dockerized FastAPI LLM service. Focused on reliability by systematically reducing hallucinations and improving retrieval through prompt grounding/abstention strategies, chunking and top-k tuning, and iterative evaluation with logged metrics and manual validation.”

Junior Full-Stack Developer specializing in JavaScript, Python, and cloud-deployed web apps

Remote, USA1y exp

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered travel assistant (Globe Trote) that automates end-to-end trip planning using a multi-step agent pipeline with RAG, external API calls, and enforced structured JSON outputs. Focused on reliability (validation, retries, fallback prompts, logging) and reported a ~30–40% reduction in irrelevant/generic responses after adding retrieval grounding.”

“Robotics software engineer with ROS 2 Humble/Nav2 experience on a warehouse robot fleet, focused on improving throughput in dynamic human environments. Implemented C++ local-planner and velocity-control changes using LiDAR-based motion prediction and real-time costmap tuning under a 20ms control loop, and built a Gazebo digital twin with custom failure-injection plugins plus Docker/Kubernetes deployment tooling.”

Junior Backend & Full-Stack Engineer specializing in Python/FastAPI and cloud services

Binghamton, NY4y exp

“Robotics software contributor from Binghamton University’s drone research lab who built a Dockerized, multithreaded Python control stack integrating Crazyflie firmware for low-latency, real-time coordination of multiple drones. Hands-on with telemetry/command pipelines, profiling and control-loop optimization, and wireless comms using CrazyRadio PA.”

Citlalli Trejo

Entry-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in web, iOS, and ML applications

Buena Park, CA1y exp

“Builder-minded software engineer who has shipped a live iOS budgeting app and a solo full-stack web app, with strong evidence of production discipline in both ML and fintech-style integrations. Particularly compelling for roles involving ambiguous product problems, third-party API reliability, and end-to-end ownership from backend logic through user-facing recovery flows.”

“Early-career software engineer who has already owned a real-world web product end-to-end for a 100+ member university ACM organization, including requirements gathering, UI/UX improvements, hosting, CI/CD, and ongoing maintenance. Brings hands-on React and full-stack project experience with a strong bias toward practical execution, mobile-friendly design, and reliable delivery.”

“Frontend engineer who led end-to-end delivery of a React/Next.js platform and real-time analytics dashboard at HacknoTech, emphasizing scalable UI architecture and performance. Uses a pragmatic state strategy (React Query for server state, Redux Toolkit for UI state), built shared component libraries with Tailwind, and improved load times by ~40% through code splitting/lazy loading and Lighthouse-driven tuning.”

“Backend engineer who built and scaled a FastAPI-based backend for an AI-driven maintenance system automating vendor sourcing/bidding/communication. Emphasizes async, message-driven architecture with strong observability and state-machine-driven workflows, plus robust webhook/idempotency patterns to prevent duplicate/out-of-order events from causing bad bids or state changes.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in AI-powered SaaS

United States, USA1y exp

“Worked on an AI-adjacent search/results product with a React front end and an API-driven backend, focusing on scalability and performance. Emphasizes decoupled JSON API architecture, React rendering optimizations (useMemo/useCallback), and large-dataset techniques like virtualization, plus strong user-issue triage via log analysis and edge-case fixes in query handling/ranking.”

Maheswari Thokala

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud microservices and REST APIs

CA, USA4y exp

“Backend engineer building an AI-powered social media platform on AWS, with hands-on experience shipping LLM-backed application features and improving production performance under high traffic. Strong focus on reliability/observability (CloudWatch, structured logs, health checks) and database optimization (MongoDB explain/slow logs, indexing, caching, connection pooling).”

“Internship-built full-stack systems spanning HR employee-record portals and internal data-quality dashboards (Flask + SQL + React), emphasizing data integrity and rapid MVP iteration. Also implemented Flask microservices with RabbitMQ for distributed task processing, addressing duplication/ordering issues with idempotency, durable queues, and correlation-ID logging; delivered quantified productivity gains for HR teams.”
