Vetted Software Development Engineers

“Backend/platform engineer who owned an end-to-end financial data ingestion and validation system (Python/Django/FastAPI, Postgres, AWS), including large-file performance tuning, auditability, and CI/CD. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + ArgoCD GitOps practitioner and has delivered both Kafka-based real-time transaction streaming and a legacy on-prem stack migration to AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager) with controlled cutovers and data consistency validation.”

“Built and deployed a production Task Prioritization App using Python/Streamlit/MongoDB with Gemini API to score and rank tasks by context (deadlines, dependencies, urgency). Focused on reliability challenges like prompt tuning for nuanced task understanding, concurrent DB updates, and performance via async LLM calls, and validated usability through iterative feedback with a non-technical end user.”

“Full-stack engineer in the healthcare domain (Humana) who owned an end-to-end member portal for benefits/claims/appointments, built with React and Spring Boot microservices on AWS. Notably migrated legacy batch data flows to a Kafka streaming pipeline and tuned consumers/partitions/backpressure to improve real-time consistency and achieve ~12% processing performance gains.”

“Graduate project contributor/maintainer in the open-source JavaScript ecosystem who built “Intersect,” a blockchain-based certification verification platform. Developed a front-end component library integrating QR generation/scanning and Ethereum smart contract interactions, and improved real-world QR scan reliability across devices via custom image preprocessing and performance profiling-driven React optimizations.”

“Built and shipped LLM-enabled decision systems focused on real production reliability rather than chatbot demos, including a multimodal radiology retrieval platform with 28% relevance gains and 35% lower latency. Also architected a 4-agent employee analytics workflow with structured outputs, traceable orchestration, and strong safeguards for messy real-world data.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience embedding AI into software delivery workflows, including Claude-powered PR review, testing, debugging, and multi-agent coding pipelines. They pair AI automation with strong systems thinking around microservices, fault tolerance, multi-AZ design, caching, and security controls like WAF and rate limiting, and also experiment independently with RAG and multi-agent search projects.”

“LLM/agentic-systems practitioner who has repeatedly taken LLM-driven pricing/decision services from prototype to production using pilots, guardrails, observability, and staged rollouts. Demonstrates strong real-time incident troubleshooting (dependency timeouts, cached fallbacks) and post-incident hardening (isolation/async/alerts), and also supports go-to-market via developer workshops, technical demos, and sales-aligned POCs.”

“Software engineer who has owned customer-facing/internal platforms end-to-end, emphasizing fast iteration through small releases backed by monitoring and rollback safety. Built SurveyAI with reusable React/TypeScript components and a stateless Node.js REST backend with clear API contracts/validation, and created an internal Airflow + AWS Lambda automation tool integrated with Slack alerts to reduce manual work and improve response time.”

“At Delta Airlines, built and shipped a production LLM-powered semantic search/troubleshooting assistant over maintenance logs and operational documentation using OpenAI embeddings and a vector database. Implemented hybrid ranking, query enrichment, and structured filters to improve relevance ~35% while optimizing latency via caching and vector tuning. Also designed a scalable Kafka + AWS (Lambda/SQS) ingestion pipeline with strong reliability/observability and an eval loop using real engineer queries and human review.”

“Backend Java engineer with strong platform/DevOps experience: modernized an insurance claims legacy monolith into DDD-aligned microservices, deployed containerized services on Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and static analysis gates, and implemented GitOps using ArgoCD. Also led major AWS migration planning with dependency mapping and network monitoring to uncover hidden dependencies, and built Kafka-based real-time event streaming with schema-registry-driven evolution.”

“AI Backend Engineer in MetLife’s claims technology group who built and deployed a production LLM-based decision support system that helps claim adjusters quickly find relevant policy rules from long PDFs and historical notes. Designed it as multiple production-grade services with retrieval-first guardrails, continuous validation, and Airflow-orchestrated pipelines for ingestion, embeddings, and vector index updates to keep the system reliable as policies and data evolve.”

“Built OpenGPU features spanning React/TypeScript, Go orchestration, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Stripe, with a strong focus on reliability, transaction integrity, and low-latency distributed systems. Also shipped LLM product infrastructure, including persona-conditioned frameworks and reusable prompt/model abstractions, showing a blend of systems engineering and fast product iteration.”

“Built an AI-powered loan automation dashboard using React and open-source JavaScript libraries, with hands-on experience improving real-world performance by reducing re-renders and optimizing/caching multiple API calls. Also produced developer-friendly API documentation for a voice assistant project, helping teammates integrate features faster with fewer errors.”

“Full-stack product engineer with hands-on experience shipping React/TypeScript applications on AWS serverless infrastructure with Postgres. Stands out for combining measurable performance optimization (~30% faster APIs), UX improvements that lifted activation by 25%, and pragmatic platform thinking through reusable hooks and safe multi-tenant dashboard customization.”

“Backend/distributed systems engineer with Apple-via-Infosys experience who is applying production-grade engineering patterns to LLM workflows. Built a log summarization and anomaly-surfacing pipeline that cut manual triage by ~30-40%, with strong emphasis on structured outputs, retries, fallbacks, and stability under noisy real-world conditions.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience scaling a CVE processing platform by re-architecting it into a Kafka-based distributed system, boosting throughput to 200k+ records/min while designing for HA, deduplication, and fault tolerance. Also led a Flyway-driven migration affecting 15M+ records with staged dev→stage→prod rollout, and has implemented production security patterns (Auth0, OAuth2/HTTPS, AWS IAM RBAC) including least-privilege hardening.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who builds modular Flask services on AWS and specializes in performance/scalability work across data-heavy APIs. Has concrete wins in query optimization (1.5s to <200ms) and high-throughput async processing (Celery+Redis, ~40% throughput gain), plus experience serving scikit-learn text classification models via containerized REST services and designing multi-tenant data isolation strategies.”

“Backend engineer who built an AI RAG quoting system for the fastener industry, reducing quote turnaround from weeks to ~30 minutes and raising retrieval accuracy to ~90% by solving a semantic-collision issue with a parent-document retrieval design. Strong in production AWS integrations (Cognito auth, S3 pre-signed uploads), performance optimization (multithreading/out-of-core), and real-time streaming (Kafka/Spark Kappa architecture achieving sub-second latency), plus Kubernetes logging and GitHub Actions CI/CD to ECR.”
