Vetted Visual Studio Code Professionals

Ashi Sinha

Screened

Junior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack and ML/NLP systems

New York City, NY2y exp

“Entry-level full-stack engineer with internship experience at Amazon (Appstore IAP flow + uninstall recommendation workflow) and a health-tech startup (OneVector) where they built a DSUR reporting workflow end-to-end, including document generation, S3-backed versioning/metadata, and secure preview/download. Demonstrates strong production debugging and reliability mindset (instrumentation, deterministic retrieval, idempotent writes) and focuses on UX/performance in high-stakes user flows.”

Osvaldo Calles

Screened

Senior Software Engineer specializing in developer tools, cloud automation, and generative AI

Redmond, WA13y exp

“Built and deployed a production chatbot on osvaldocalles.com and iterated through real-world LLM engineering issues: model quota/cost tradeoffs (migrating to Nova Pro), RAG accuracy via semantic chunking, AWS IAM/guardrail/security pitfalls, and Lambda/API Gateway streaming constraints (prefers JS for streaming layer). Experienced with agent orchestration using Strands SDK (AWS-focused) and LangGraph (Vercel/container deployments), plus evaluation pipelines using LLM-as-evaluator, dashboards, and staged model rollouts.”

YAKKALI PAVAN

Screened

Mid-level Machine Learning & Generative AI Engineer specializing in NLP, CV, and RAG systems

USA6y exp

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered RAG document intelligence system used by non-technical enterprise stakeholders, cutting document search time by 40%+ while improving answer consistency. Demonstrates strong MLOps/data workflow orchestration (Airflow, AWS Step Functions, managed schedulers across GCP/Azure) and a metrics-driven approach to reliability, evaluation, and cost/latency optimization with guardrails and observability.”

Shahmeer Malik

Screened

Junior Software Development Engineer specializing in cloud security and CI/CD

Herndon, VA2y exp

“Backend/security-focused engineer supporting a service with 100k+ monthly users. Built an automated load-testing suite that reproduced and mitigated catastrophic host failures from oversized SCP/rsync transfers via host-level throttling, and proposed a future sharding approach for very large transfers. Also created an internal agent to summarize anomalous metrics and provide ready-to-run debug queries, significantly reducing ops review time.”

“Front-end engineer who significantly owned the Microsoft Teams personal copilot web experience for enterprise customers, including real-time streaming chat powered by WebSockets and bot infrastructure. Stands out for combining browser UI architecture, accessibility/localization work across 30 languages, and strong production telemetry/incident ownership for reliability at scale.”

“Data science/NLP practitioner with experience at NVIDIA and Microsoft building production-grade NLP and data-linking systems. Has delivered high-performing pipelines (e.g., F1 0.92) and large-scale entity resolution (F1 0.89), plus semantic search using embeddings and Pinecone with ~30–40% relevance gains, backed by rigorous validation (A/B tests, ROUGE, MRR) and strong MLOps/workflow tooling (Airflow, Databricks, FastAPI, MLflow, Prometheus/ELK).”

Blake Bequette

Screened

Senior Software Engineer specializing in autonomous UAV systems

Austin, TX9y exp

“Frontend engineer with deep experience building a ground control station UI, including a technically demanding 3D mission editor that synchronizes waypoint lists, flight profiles, and a Cesium-based map. Stands out for combining React/TypeScript architecture, heavy visualization performance tuning, and game-engine-inspired interaction design for complex map workflows.”
