Vetted Software Development Engineers in the DMV

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS 2 experience who helped build an autonomous 5-DOF robotic arm that plays Backgammon, owning perception (OpenCV) and game-logic while adding robustness features like lighting tolerance and auto-calibration. Also worked on a Raspberry Pi/LiDAR car project, improving mapping accuracy through data-logged calibration and contributing to multi-robot collision-avoidance coordination via a server-based pub/sub system.”

“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.”

“Backend engineer with AWS multi-region production experience building APIs and workflow automation for data center/storage hardware operations (firmware orchestration, maintenance checks, ticketing, dashboards). Also shipped an internal AI chat tool that parses hardware runbooks and incorporates user feedback to retrain the model, and has a strong testing/quality discipline (95%+ coverage) plus database performance tuning via indexing and query monitoring.”

“Backend engineer on Morgan Stanley’s trade risk and compliance platform, building Java/Spring Boot microservices that validate equity and fixed-income trades at multi-million-events/day scale. Shipped an LLM-assisted trade exception analysis feature using RAG over internal policy documents and trade history, with production-grade guardrails (confidence thresholds, audit logs, human-in-the-loop) and measurable performance wins (~30–35% faster reporting) through PostgreSQL tuning and Redis caching.”
