Vetted Software Engineers in California

“Full-stack engineer who built and iterated a CRM dashboard at ReplyQuick by sitting with end users, prioritizing blockers, and shipping frequent updates—improving usability and performance enough to replace a spreadsheet workflow within ~2 months. Demonstrates strong security fundamentals (OAuth2/JWT + RBAC) and practical microservices experience (decoupling a CRM API from a PDF-processing service via async processing and status tracking).”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned an enterprise Django REST + PostgreSQL reporting backend and built Python ETL pipelines to normalize 3M+ legacy customer records, improving data reliability by 85%. Strong Kubernetes/GitOps practitioner (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with real-world production debugging experience, plus Kafka streaming at 5M events/day and a zero-downtime monolith-to-event-driven microservices migration on AWS that cut infra costs by 42%.”

“Automation and customer-facing technical specialist with experience at QA Wolf and Kalmar, taking Playwright E2E testing from prototype scripts into CI-gated production pipelines (80%+ automated coverage). Also trained both software teams and industrial operations audiences (Fleet View for automated straddle carriers) and partnered with sales/customer teams to translate technical results (e.g., Siemens PLC updates, QA ROI) into adoption and faster closes.”

“Backend engineer who has designed and evolved high-traffic event/activity management systems using Node/Express and PostgreSQL, prioritizing scalability and reliability with a layered architecture. Has led zero-downtime refactors/migrations using parallel runs, dual writes, and rigorous validation/monitoring, and brings a security-focused API approach (JWT, RBAC/ABAC, rate limiting, DB-enforced tenant/RLS filters).”

“Software engineer turned solutions/technical support engineer with 5+ years of experience supporting and migrating a custom CRM used by U.S. House of Representatives offices. Has hands-on ownership of database export/import scripting, API key-based integrations, and production troubleshooting, and also consults government customers on procurement/CLM workflows while partnering with sales/marketing on demos and adoption use cases.”

“Enterprise workflow/product engineer (DXC) who owned a customer-facing workflow application for 500+ users and improved performance ~30% through API/SQL optimization, caching, and CI/CD-backed iteration. Experienced designing React/TypeScript + Java/Spring Boot systems and operating microservices with RabbitMQ/Kafka-style messaging, emphasizing reliability via DLQs, backpressure, and strong observability. Also built an internal automation dashboard adopted by support/ops teams to cut manual work and reduce SLA misses.”

“Cloud/platform engineer with hands-on delivery across Azure and AWS, including standing up a CIS-compliant Azure environment and integrating Azure OpenAI Foundry to automate finance invoicing. Has scaled platform capabilities across large org footprints (dynamic CI/CD pipelines for ~94 teams across 200+ repos) and replaced a $1M/year vulnerability patching vendor by building an internal AWS-based patching and monitoring solution for ~1000 servers.”

“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.”

“QA automation-focused candidate with hands-on ownership of unit and integration test suites, including CI/CD integration in GitLab. Caught a database-query regression that would have shipped incomplete API data by relying on automated integration tests, and has practical Cypress experience stabilizing flaky tests using cy.intercept()/cy.wait() and stable selectors.”

“Full-stack engineer at an early-stage startup (AirKitchenz) who owned the hourly booking/availability and first paid booking flow end-to-end—React/TypeScript frontend, Node backend, Postgres modeling, and Stripe payments/webhooks. Experienced operating production on AWS (EC2/Elastic Beanstalk, Docker, RDS, CloudWatch) and building reliable, idempotent integrations while iterating quickly in a pre-PMF environment through direct host/renter feedback.”

“Backend engineer who built and evolved a serverless AWS platform for large-scale live screening events with real-time chat/feedback and streaming (API Gateway/Lambda/DynamoDB/WebSockets/IVS, IaC via Pulumi). Led production refactors and phased migrations using feature flags and dual-write strategies, and has hands-on experience implementing JWT auth, RBAC, and database-enforced row-level security for multi-tenant systems.”
