Vetted Software Development Engineers

“Worked on an AWS DynamoDB Journal team project building internal operator dashboards end-to-end, creating Java/Spring Boot APIs and integrating them into a Spring Boot/Thymeleaf/JavaScript UI to speed up debugging workflows. Has experience with data-heavy web apps and performance techniques (load balancing, caching, pagination, compression) plus hands-on debugging across unit/integration/E2E tests; also maintained and enhanced a React website at Global Spark.”

“Engineering manager/player-coach in the Alexa media ecosystem who led delivery of a Tier-1 gateway service enabling third-party providers (e.g., Spotify/Pandora) to control playback across users’ Echo devices, driving 10–15% lifts in engagement metrics. Deep in API design, AWS infrastructure choices (EC2 vs Fargate), OAuth/LWA auth flows, and production rigor (security reviews, load testing, feature-gated dial-ups), with demonstrated incident ownership and operational automation wins.”

Senior Backend/Infrastructure Engineer specializing in large-scale integrity and content systems

Menlo Park, CA10y exp

“Backend/platform engineer who built Bilibili’s "Avalon" content moderation platform from a vague CEO mandate into a company-wide service (Go, gRPC, Kafka), including on-call, metrics, transparency tools, and multi-site resiliency work. More recently at Meta, scaled a high-traffic mistake-prevention platform by introducing capacity levers (prefiltering, caching, log sampling, fanout limits) and navigating org-wide constraints, including debugging a rule-engine threading bottleneck.”

“Project lead who partners with PM and customers to gather requirements, adjust project plans, and deliver new functionality that drives customer satisfaction and revenue. Has experience building features end-to-end and presenting successful technical demos to engineering and management audiences; no stated experience with LLM/agentic systems.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer from Rec Room who owned end-to-end systems spanning downloadable avatar content delivery (Addressables + auth/CDN), build automation/CI for asset bundles, and creator tooling (Avatar Studio). Also implemented AI-driven localization and generative mesh features, and has deep multiplayer experience with Photon and Photon Quantum across VR (Meta Quest) and mobile platforms, citing a 20% retention lift from faster content delivery and customization.”

“Former CTO of EzCred, a fintech embedded finance/digital lending infrastructure startup that built an API-first underwriting and servicing platform using alternative data (e.g., GST and bank statements) to cut loan decisions from days to minutes. Helped raise $1M in seed funding, built the engineering org and compliance-ready cloud architecture, and ran partner pilots before the company shut down during COVID-driven lending market contraction.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in data engineering and computer vision

Bellevue, WA1y exp

“Former Amazon intern who owned an end-to-end computer vision system to detect package anomalies in fulfillment centers, from data collection/labeling to production deployment on AWS (EC2/S3) with a Streamlit live-monitoring dashboard. Also has ML-in-production experience deploying and updating a recommendation model on Kubernetes (Minikube) with CI/CD via GitHub Actions, plus prior SDE experience with Jenkins-based pipelines and on-prem to AWS migration work using Glue.”

“Backend/data engineer with Amazon supply-chain experience building production serverless Python services and ETL pipelines on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS, Glue). Has modernized legacy SAS jobs into Python with rigorous parity testing and phased migrations, and has delivered major SQL performance gains (minutes down to seconds) through indexing and partitioning.”

Mid-level Software Development Engineer specializing in robotics and cloud-based device management

North Reading, Massachusetts3y exp

“Amazon Robotics engineer who deployed and scaled the Lumos camera-based package scanning work cell across EU sort centers (100+ work cells in 5+ sites), enabling remote launches via detailed runbooks and troubleshooting. Strong in AWS IoT/edge systems, with hands-on incident recovery (restored 34 down work cells) and secure multi-compute certificate provisioning using IoT Jobs, ACM/CA, and custom roles; delivered ~75% per-cell cost reduction vs Cognex-based approach.”
