Vetted Software Engineers in the DMV

“Backend engineer with AWS multi-region production experience building APIs and workflow automation for data center/storage hardware operations (firmware orchestration, maintenance checks, ticketing, dashboards). Also shipped an internal AI chat tool that parses hardware runbooks and incorporates user feedback to retrain the model, and has a strong testing/quality discipline (95%+ coverage) plus database performance tuning via indexing and query monitoring.”

“Master’s student at UC San Diego who built an LLM-powered healthcare chatbot for patient history-taking and sepsis-related output, using a Node.js backend integrated with FastAPI for RAG/LLM interactions and a Flutter client. Also has healthcare AI startup experience deploying on AWS (ECS/Terraform/Docker) and implementing Kubernetes autoscaling to improve efficiency and reduce costs, with strong iterative evaluation in collaboration with a physician.”

“Cloud-focused engineer experienced deploying and stabilizing complex production systems that span APIs, infrastructure, and automated workflows, with a strong observability and safe-release mindset (feature flags/canaries/rollbacks). Has hands-on, customer-facing incident leadership, including executing DR regional failover during an AWS us-east-1 outage to maintain service and reportedly save a client ~$10M.”

“Python/AWS engineer focused on batch-processing and data workflows, including building reusable S3/boto3 utilities with reliability features and IAM-based auth. Has led low-risk legacy modernizations using parity testing plus a month of parallel production runs, and has owned production issues end-to-end (including fixing a client-side Excel macro) while contributing to significant AWS cost reductions (~$10k/month).”

“Built and productionized an LLM-based PDF extraction pipeline for Medicaid policy documents by fine-tuning Gemini Flash 2.0 and deploying via Vertex AI, adding validation/guardrails to improve trust and reliability. Also built and scaled a SaaS platform (cnotes) for cable operators and regularly partners with customers and sales teams through interactive demos, rapid iteration, and real-time workflow debugging.”

“Customer-facing technical professional who designs solution architecture and builds PoCs for regulated customers, iterating via biweekly demos and direct feedback to reach production-ready implementations. Regularly delivers technical demos (~2/month for nearly a year) and partners with sales/customer-facing teams by refining technical implementations until they match customer requirements.”

“Software engineer with Capital One experience contributing to shared internal “open-source style” JavaScript/React/TypeScript libraries (component library and hooks/utilities). Drove measurable performance gains (~25% improvement) by refactoring hooks to prevent unnecessary re-renders, and improved adoption via stronger documentation, testing (Jest), semver discipline, and code review/PR workflows; also stabilized a backend service by adding monitoring and automated tests in an unstructured project.”
