Vetted Software Engineers in the Bay Area

“Hands-on builder and workshop facilitator focused on getting LLM/agentic and dev-tools products from prototype to production. Has delivered iterative production deployments for a construction client (estimating/invoicing on EC2), debugs LLM regressions with monitoring plus prompt optimization, and has facilitated multiple developer workshops while helping founders improve onboarding and time-to-first-success using tools like PostHog.”

“Backend/platform engineer at Aryaka Networks who built a centralized resiliency and security Spring Boot library to standardize Keycloak RBAC and fault-tolerance across 25+ Kubernetes-migrated microservices. Uses profiling and observability (Prometheus/Grafana) to drive measurable performance and reliability gains (25% faster APIs, 70% faster environment setup) and accelerates adoption via golden-path starter repos and Swagger/OpenAPI live docs.”

“Software engineer with limited robotics background but deep experience building end-to-end document ingestion and image understanding systems, including a CAD-specific pipeline using a custom model to extract components and bounding boxes for user-facing visualization and Q&A. Also brings strong infrastructure/DevOps skills (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Terraform) with emphasis on reliability, cost optimization, and uptime.”

“Backend engineer who built a high-stakes, privacy-first platform at be Still Analytics for survivors of domestic violence, emphasizing anonymity, security, and reliability. Experienced with GenAI backends (LangChain + AWS Bedrock) including RAG to prevent hallucinations, plus cloud-native scaling (Docker/Kubernetes) and cost-saving migrations from legacy VMs to serverless (30% reduction).”

“Built and deployed “ApartmentFinder AI,” a multi-agent system using Google ADK, Gemini, and Google Maps MCP to automate apartment shortlisting and commute-time analysis, cutting a 45–70 minute user workflow down to ~30 seconds. Also has strong delivery/process chops from serving as an SDLC Release Coordinator, managing 52+ releases and reducing SDLC issues by 84%.”

“Backend engineer with production experience at KeyBank building high-volume Java/Spring Boot services on Azure with PostgreSQL/Oracle, including async job ingestion and tracking. Demonstrates strong reliability/performance debugging (HikariCP pool exhaustion, DB contention) and has shipped an LLM-powered data analysis/summarization feature with robust production guardrails (validation, shadow testing, deterministic fallbacks, audit logs).”
