Vetted Software Engineers in the Greater Seattle

“Built a production AI-powered sales automation system that reads inbound product enquiry emails, extracts structured data, and routes decisions via a rules-based workflow integrated with a product database. Leverages Gemini structured outputs/schema plus option-based prompting and validation to keep responses reliable, and optimizes latency by breaking agent reasoning into smaller LLM calls; evaluates workflows with LangSmith and metrics like completion rate and accuracy.”

“LLM/agent production specialist with strong customer-facing and pre-sales chops: turns demo-grade prototypes into reliable, compliant deployments using RAG tuning, guardrails, evals in CI, and observability with staged rollouts/rollback. Known for engineering-first workshops (including live break-and-fix on retrieval misses, tool timeouts, and prompt injection) that win over skeptical senior developers and drive adoption.”

“Backend engineer with experience in both healthcare (Siemens) and payments (Bitwise), focused on scaling Python APIs and modernizing architectures. Has led monolith-to-microservices migrations and introduced Kafka async processing, Redis caching, and ELK observability, citing ~40% faster issue resolution and improved reliability via idempotency and strong security controls (OAuth2/JWT, RBAC, RLS).”

“Full-stack engineer who built "Workstream AI," an AI-powered engineering visibility product that converts GitHub activity into real-time insights using an event-driven microservices stack (RabbitMQ/Postgres/Express) and GPT-4 with a React frontend. Previously a Founding SWE at a health & wellness startup, building data-driven user management tooling, and also delivered a real-time shuttle tracking/ride request system using Java Spring Boot/Hibernate + React; comfortable owning production deployment details (AWS EC2, DNS, SSL).”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in full-stack and ETL systems

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Backend engineer with end-to-end ownership experience across enterprise SaaS and high-volume data systems, including PostgreSQL/.NET services at Visual Lease and ETL pipelines at Broadridge processing millions of records for Fortune 500 clients. Stands out for combining production support, observability thinking, and pragmatic architecture tradeoffs, while also experimenting with LLM-powered job application automation using Claude.”

“Backend and distributed-systems engineer with experience integrating LLM capabilities into clinical data workflows at CVS. Stands out for treating AI as an engineering accelerator rather than a shortcut, with strong emphasis on validation, observability, Kafka-based async pipelines, and safe multi-agent orchestration for production systems.”

“Built and shipped an AI-driven interview evaluation pipeline at SeekOut that automated recruiter screening via a multi-stage LLM agent workflow (.NET backend, RabbitMQ orchestration, Python workers). Emphasizes production-grade reliability (idempotency, retries, strict JSON/schema validation), strong observability with OpenTelemetry, and measurable efficiency gains including ~40% reduction in token usage/cost.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in AI, geospatial, and full-stack applications

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Early-stage startup engineer with experience at pre-seed and roughly Series A-stage companies, including Rage Events Inc. Shipped production full-stack features with Next.js/TypeScript, designed Postgres-backed workflow systems, and took ownership of post-launch support and fixes in fast-moving environments.”
