Vetted Software Engineers in the Greater Philadelphia

“Full-stack engineer at Vanguard who architected and shipped a production AI onboarding chatbot using React, Python, LangChain, RAG, and AWS Bedrock, reaching 50,000+ prospects in two months and reducing drop-off by 26%. Particularly compelling for teams building regulated AI products: they combine hands-on full-stack delivery with guardrails, observability, and experimentation, and also build consumer AI products on the side in endurance coaching.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience spanning a lean startup at AppLovin and production financial systems at Vanguard. They’ve built core user-facing platforms from scratch, including a B2B advertiser/publisher dashboard and a resilient client onboarding system using Spring Boot, NestJS, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, and AWS. Particularly strong in ambiguous environments where they work directly with stakeholders and own delivery end to end.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong AI systems and B2B SaaS experience across BrightOps, Zapier, Nordstrom, and Calendly. They’ve owned architecture for an AI-powered tutoring platform, improved retrieval quality with a hybrid vector-plus-keyword approach, and built Go services processing over 1 million student events per day. Particularly compelling for teams building data-intensive, reliability-critical products with LLM, workflow automation, or compliance-oriented use cases.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience owning a customer-facing data platform at GDIT, built on Django and Next.js. Demonstrated pragmatic architecture choices to handle image-heavy deployments and helped evolve the frontend from Alpine.js to a consistent React-based stack.”

“Full-stack product engineer who owned a live-events digital ticketing platform end-to-end, including blockchain-based ticket validation and high-traffic booking flows. Stands out for combining Angular/React frontend work with Java/Spring Boot backend architecture, plus strong production reliability practices around concurrency control, queues, observability, and UX optimization.”

“Product-minded full-stack engineer focused on internal operations tooling, with hands-on ownership across React/TypeScript, serverless APIs, and Postgres. They combine UX simplification with deep performance and reliability work, citing a transaction-exception workflow redesign that cut task completion time by roughly 25%, and they’ve also built multi-tenant configurable systems with strong guardrails.”

“Backend engineer who shipped a Spring Boot transactions/points feature while using AI selectively for boilerplate and test ideas, keeping core system design decisions in human hands. Stands out for rigorous validation of AI output against database behavior, concurrency, idempotency, and failure scenarios, and has also built a lightweight planner -> code gen -> validator agent-style pipeline with step-level logging and retries.”
