Vetted Software Development Engineers in the Bay Area

“Software engineer with experience spanning an SEL internship and Walmart, combining backend/data pipeline work (Python, Kafka, relational DBs) with DevOps practices (Docker, Grafana, GitHub/Jenkins CI/CD, GitOps). Notably contributed to a REST-to-GraphQL migration aimed at reducing cloud utilization and implemented testing strategies to validate the transition.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in low-latency ad targeting and distributed backend systems

Santa Clara, CA9y exp

“Backend/platform engineer who built a high-scale audience segmentation and real-time targeting system using Spark/Glue + S3/Hudi and low-latency API services backed by Redis/relational stores. Demonstrates strong production rigor: Spark performance tuning to eliminate OOM failures, API idempotency/caching to cut p95 latency ~40%, and careful dual-run/feature-flag migrations with reconciliation and rollback runbooks. Experienced implementing layered security with JWT/OAuth, RBAC/ABAC, and database row-level security to prevent privilege escalation.”

Mid-Level Software Development Engineer specializing in distributed systems and event-driven architectures

Santa Clara, California4y exp

“Built and maintained an internal JavaScript/React real-time event monitoring UI used by multiple Goldman Sachs teams (e.g., Private Wealth Management and Bulk Trading Systems). Focused on scaling performance under hundreds of events/sec—using profiling, memoization, batching, and debouncing—and paired it with strong internal documentation and disciplined incident diagnosis via synthetic load testing and logs/metrics.”

“Full-stack engineer who shipped a production "Financial Insight" assistant dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, integrating a RAG pipeline (embeddings + ChromaDB + LLM) via route handlers and owning post-launch performance (latency, token cost, retrieval relevance). Also built/optimized Postgres-backed workflows for an outbound dialer and callback routing engine handling ~10,000 daily contacts, validating query performance with EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS).”

Mid-level Backend & Applied ML Engineer specializing in LLM systems and scalable APIs

Palo Alto, CA3y exp

“Backend engineer who significantly evolved an internal analytics/reporting platform (Python API + Postgres) powering self-service dashboards for product/business teams, focusing on reliability under heavy concurrent load and fast query performance. Demonstrates strong production engineering practices across API design (FastAPI), observability, incremental rollouts with feature flags, and data security using JWT/RBAC plus Postgres row-level security.”
