Vetted Software Engineers in the Greater Boston

“Founding engineer at a civic-tech startup (Barrow) who built and operated a Next.js/TypeScript product with map-based public reporting, including clustering and dynamic geospatial loading to improve UX and performance. Also implemented a location-aware RAG chatbot using Pinecone, web scraping/transcription, caching, and fallback web search, and owned post-launch observability plus scaling decisions (load balancing/horizontal scaling) based on API usage patterns.”

“Early-stage founder building an engineering alpha product and planning a structured path to pilot and general availability. Active mentor in TechStars and MassChallenge with a strong VC network, emphasizing PMF, MVP-in-market feedback, and early sales while maintaining a sustainable approach to entrepreneurship.”

Director-level application development leader specializing in FinTech and digital transformation

Boston, MA16y exp

“Hands-on engineering leader in a private-company/startup-like environment who builds full-stack financial systems and leads small teams. Notably replaced a failed third-party banking platform with an in-house Azure-based product integrating major bank APIs, driving $200K-$300K in annual savings and major workflow automation and performance gains.”

“Candidate founded a non-profit and developed unconventional funding mechanisms for it, including a book whose proceeds support the organization and a patented AI stack designed for licensing royalties. They also bring early startup experience and acquisition due-diligence exposure, and are specifically interested in contributing their technical and venture incubation background within an existing entrepreneurial company rather than founding a new one.”
