Vetted Software Engineers in California

“Backend/platform engineer who built an LLM-driven QA automation system (“mockmouse”) using a Flask orchestration microservice, Socket.IO real-time updates, Redis caching, and strict Pydantic schemas to turn prompts into reliable action graphs and automated browser tests. Has hands-on Kubernetes delivery experience (Docker/Helm/Jenkins) and has supported large migration programs, validating ETL cutovers with 1M+ synthetic records and rigorous output comparisons; also built event-driven monitoring/anomaly detection streaming into Grafana.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of production systems, including a Kafka-based notification/alerting platform (Node.js + React) deployed on AWS with Docker/GitHub Actions, achieving ~95% email delivery reliability. Demonstrates strong operational maturity (observability, CI/CD, zero-downtime migrations) and experience shipping in ambiguous environments (SJSU project) with evolving requirements.”

“Backend/AI engineer with production experience in legal tech: built a high-scale licensing/subscription API (FastAPI/Postgres/Stripe) and shipped a RAG-based chatbot for an eDiscovery platform. Designed a robust legal document ingestion workflow that processes thousands of documents into a searchable vector index with clear retry/escalation logic, and has demonstrated measurable Postgres performance wins (200ms to 10ms) using EXPLAIN ANALYZE and composite indexing.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built a time-sensitive data retrieval system for a source with no public API, using an AWS EC2-hosted persistent browser session plus a PostgreSQL TTL caching layer—cutting manual retrieval by 99% and achieving sub-10-second average retrieval. Emphasizes production security (Secrets Manager, encryption, IP allowlisting, rate limiting) and robustness via testing and edge-case handling (atomic file operations).”
