Mid-Level Software Development Engineer specializing in AWS data pipelines and forecasting systems

3y exp

“Built and deployed (via an Upwork contract) an LLM-powered agent for options trading that detects large options trade events, enriches them with market/filing data (price history, earnings transcripts, insider trading), and delivers recommendations via Telegram. Implemented schema-constrained outputs (Pydantic/Google GenAI), robust orchestration, logging, and error-notification handling, plus vector-DB-based reuse of prior outputs to improve consistency.”

Portland, OR3y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on Next.js App Router + TypeScript experience (built a RateMyProfessor-style platform end-to-end using RSC, dynamic routing, debounced search, and cache invalidation). Also has AWS backend depth—built a Step Functions-based wave rollout/feature access control framework for MediaPackage V2 with idempotency, retries, rollback, and ongoing correctness reconciliation.”

“Software engineer with practical, day-to-day experience embedding AI into development workflows across coding, testing, code review, and AWS data pipelines. Uses tools like Claude, Cline, JUnit, Mockito, and Amazon Bedrock, and stands out for having a realistic, mature view of agent limitations, hallucinations, and the need for strong prompting and human validation.”

“Software engineer with experience spanning early-stage startup architecture and large-scale Amazon product development. They’ve driven search and data-platform decisions in a 20-person startup, built full-stack React/Python tools that automate internal workflows, and shipped marketplace expansion and personalization features impacting 200k sellers and millions of end users.”
