Vetted Software Engineers in California

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered grading platform that automates rubric-aligned scoring and feedback, with strong guardrails (RAG grounding, structured JSON, validation/retries) and operational rigor (metrics, drift monitoring). Experienced using CrewAI to orchestrate multi-agent workflows end-to-end and validating quality via gold-set benchmarking against human graders with regression testing on every prompt/model change.”

“Built a production SQL chatbot for access-log analytics that replaced manual custom report requests with natural-language querying, using LangGraph and a ChromaDB-backed RAG pipeline for grounded, consistent answers. Implemented a privacy-preserving design where the LLM never sees raw customer data (only query metadata) and has experience building multi-agent/tool-calling systems with LangGraph (DeepAgents), including solving sub-agent communication drift via self-reflection.”

“Backend-focused JavaScript/Node.js engineer with e-commerce domain depth from Decathlon, working on foundational microservices for order management, inventory, and fulfillment integrations. Led an infrastructure redesign and shipped a Shopify-based persistent cart experience, diagnosing early production issues via monitoring/log analysis and improving reliability through stronger session persistence and fault-tolerant architecture.”

“Cross-platform (web + mobile) product engineer working on coupon clipping experiences. Built and shipped category-based filtering informed by external market data (Rakuten/Honey) and internal user-journey analytics, validated via A/B testing and resulting in a 30% traffic lift. Experienced handling on-call production incidents, including rapid root-cause analysis and hotfixing a mobile crash that was blocking a release.”

“Robotics engineer with hands-on experience scaling a multi-vendor heterogeneous warehouse robot fleet, building a distributed “traffic manager” for collision avoidance and real-time rerouting using CBS/MAPF and DCOP-style negotiation. Strong real-time/safety-critical systems background (RTOS, deterministic lock-free multithreading) plus modern perception and simulation tooling (CNN-LSTM/transformers, CARLA/Isaac Sim, VIO/GTSAM, camera-IMU calibration). Startup-oriented and comfortable moving quickly from prototype to production.”

“Hands-on backend/AI engineer who solo-built two production Claude-based agent systems: an internal Slack RAG over Confluence/Jira/code/regulatory docs and a HIPAA/GDPR-compliant patient chatbot with embedding guardrails and expert-in-the-loop evals. Also architected a multi-region patient portal + microservices platform with Terraform/CI-CD and federated gateways, delivering major onboarding automation and strong reliability wins (PgBouncer, chaos/perf testing).”

“Full-stack engineer who shipped a production "Financial Insight" assistant dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, integrating a RAG pipeline (embeddings + ChromaDB + LLM) via route handlers and owning post-launch performance (latency, token cost, retrieval relevance). Also built/optimized Postgres-backed workflows for an outbound dialer and callback routing engine handling ~10,000 daily contacts, validating query performance with EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS).”

“Backend engineer with healthcare domain experience building AI-driven radiology workflow systems. Evolved tightly coupled APIs into secure, reliable FastAPI-based services by moving heavy imaging/data processing into idempotent asynchronous pipelines with retries, feature-flagged incremental rollout, and strong data-integrity controls (constraints, backfills, validation). Strong focus on defense-in-depth security for sensitive patient data (OAuth2/JWT, RBAC, and database-level protections).”

“LLM/agent builder who has shipped production AI systems in the wellness space, including an LLM-powered food tracking product used by 5000+ users and a voice/call-routing onboarding workflow using LangGraph/LangChain with LiveKit and Twilio. Strong focus on practical reliability work: latency reduction, retrieval/embedding tuning, and CI-driven evaluation with simulations and metrics.”

“Software engineer with BitSight experience owning and revitalizing a critical internal Entity Management Portal (Django/React), clearing 30+ backlog items and boosting internal workflow efficiency ~40% through performance re-architecture (Redis caching) and disciplined testing. Also built a collaborative chore management platform (React/FastAPI) emphasizing responsiveness (optimistic UI) and scalability (connection pooling, Docker), and improved microservices security by centralizing secrets management with AWS Secrets Manager across multi-cloud environments.”

“Built a college AI chatbot during a master’s program, owning the full Python/Flask backend plus Google Gemini integration and a Postgres persistence layer (course info + conversation history), including caching/performance tuning. Also deployed and migrated ETL/ELT workloads from AWS Lambda into Kubernetes/EKS with GitHub Actions-based GitOps CI/CD, IRSA permissions, and Secrets Manager/S3/Postgres connectivity.”

“Early engineer at a fast-growing startup who owned an AI-powered portfolio/site generation workflow end-to-end (frontend in Next.js App Router/TypeScript through backend orchestration). Emphasizes server-first security/performance (Server Components/Actions, revalidation), and production hardening with validation, caching, observability, retries/idempotency, and CI/E2E testing.”

“Built an end-to-end automated trading system for Polymarket, including Go/Python execution services, Terraform-scheduled ETL/feature pipelines, and monitoring on modest hardware. Also shipped a production LLM+RAG signal verifier/explainer that grounds trade decisions in external context (news/social) with vector DB retrieval and guardrails, plus a lightweight RAGAS-style eval loop on ~50 resolved markets that improved signal faithfulness by ~15%.”

“Backend-focused intern who built and refactored the backend for an LLM-driven gifting mobile app using FastAPI, tackling high-latency LLM + product-API workflows. Implemented async worker-pool/queue processing with Redis caching plus retries/fallbacks, cutting end-to-end suggestion latency from ~4–5 seconds to ~1 second while improving reliability and rollout safety via staged migrations and testing.”

“Software engineer who owned an Order Management System end-to-end at Reliance Jio, improving large-table performance via UI virtualization shipped behind feature flags and refined through direct ops-user observation. Also built an OCR automation tool at Piramal Realty using Python/Tesseract with validation and manual correction fallbacks, driving adoption by operations teams. Experienced integrating with Kafka-based microservices and improving observability using structured logging and correlation IDs.”
