Vetted Software Developers in the Greater Boston

“Technical founder at Mightier, a clinically-validated mental health video game system for kids, where the company has raised $30M. Brings 25+ years of game development experience, has built zero-to-one titles with millions of players, and has scaled core functions from product/dev through QA, customer support, and even manufacturing for a physical-shipping business; currently leading an agentic coding transformation.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience at HubSpot, Accolite, and an early-stage USC alumni startup (Workup). Built and shipped end-to-end workflow automation features (dynamic input configuration with strict schema validation) driving ~25% faster configuration, and delivered an AI interview customization feature in a high-ambiguity startup setting that increased adoption by ~40%. Comfortable operating production systems on AWS with CloudWatch observability and CI/CD, and has built real-time web apps with caching/indexing for performance.”

“MMORPG numerical/economy designer who built and tuned a dual-currency system (gold/agate), progression gates, and late-game sinks using quantitative models (including exponential curves) and telemetry segmentation by player level/assets. Implemented engagement drivers like roguelike repeatable dungeons and weekly leaderboard rewards, and partnered cross-functionally to resolve economy risks such as item tradability to keep outputs stable and controllable.”

“Backend engineer with experience building and modernizing high-volume healthcare transaction systems, including migrating Java services to Spring Boot microservices and adopting Kafka-based event-driven architectures. Strong focus on production reliability and operability (observability, CI/CD, standardized patterns) plus security (OAuth/JWT, RBAC, Postgres/Supabase RLS) and resilient stream processing (idempotency, DLQs).”

“Backend/platform engineer who has owned end-to-end production systems in financial/claims domains, including a transaction analytics microservice platform processing ~10M daily operations and cutting latency from ~150ms to <70ms. Also productionized an LLM-powered monitoring/alerting capability (Llama 3 + FastAPI) with prompt design, guardrails, and production evaluation, and led monolith-to-microservices modernization on AWS using feature flags and parallel runs.”

“Space/heliophysics ML engineer who built a PyTorch GRU model to propagate solar wind from L1 to the magnetopause with probabilistic outputs for uncertainty quantification, achieving ~25% better CRPS than standard approaches. Also developed production-grade Python ETL and an open-source telemetry processing package for a mission (LEXI), using Docker and GitHub Actions CI/CD and iterating with scientist/engineer stakeholders.”

“Significant contributor/maintainer to an open-source JavaScript event-tracking client SDK, owning API consistency/backward compatibility, high-load batching and retry/backoff improvements, and test/CI + documentation upgrades. Diagnosed production-like issues (missing events under load) via reproduction and logging, then reduced GC pressure and improved predictability with a ring-buffer-based batching redesign while actively triaging issues and reviewing PRs.”

“Candidate claims responsibility for end-to-end technical delivery and describes a structured four-phase delivery process (discovery, design/wireframes, build/testing with quality and velocity focus, and smooth launch). They declined to provide any specific project case studies, technologies, incidents, management examples, or compensation details during the screen.”
