Vetted Software Engineers in the Bay Area

“Full-stack/backend engineer with healthcare and enterprise experience: built and secured AWS-hosted services for a clinical EHR product that redacts/transforms hospital patient records for pharma customers (e.g., AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson). At Cisco, led an incremental Ruby-to-Python/Django migration for a compliance backend, and has deep multi-tenant security experience using Postgres RLS tied to JWT plus DLQ patterns to harden data pipelines.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who shipped a civic-tech Next.js/TypeScript app (Boston Police Index) with SSR, dynamic routing, and server-side data fetching, then iterated post-launch with UX and performance improvements. At Walmart (Seller Center micro-frontends), drove large-scale React/TypeScript refactors—standardizing state management, improving hook usage, and cutting type errors ~50%—and earned trust to serve as a code reviewer enforcing quality standards.”
