Vetted Software Engineers in Illinois

“Robotics software engineer focused on backend and distributed systems for real-time robot operations, including sensor ingestion, robot state management, and robot-to-cloud communication. Hands-on with ROS/ROS2 integration and real-time navigation debugging, plus production-grade monitoring, CI/CD, and containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes) to improve stability and performance.”

“Backend/ML platform engineer who owns end-to-end delivery of ML-serving APIs (FastAPI + TensorFlow) and runs them reliably on Kubernetes using ArgoCD GitOps. Has hands-on experience solving production-only issues (probe tuning for model warm-up, resource profiling) and building scalable Kafka streaming pipelines, plus supporting phased on-prem to AWS migrations with dependency discovery and recreation of hidden jobs/workflows.”

“Hands-on engineer focused on taking complex/LLM-style workflows from prototype to production, emphasizing robust error handling, CI/CD + Docker deployment, and deep observability (Kibana/Rancher/Grafana). Experienced customizing client integrations and data transformations (XML/JSON/PDF to SFTP) and debugging agent workflows with traces, prompt verification, and human-in-the-loop safety controls. Partnered with product/ops to drive adoption, including a MuleSoft migration that improved partner onboarding speed by ~50%.”

“ML/NLP engineer with healthcare and industrial IoT experience: built an Optum pipeline that converted 2M+ physician notes into structured entities and linked them with claims/pharmacy data to create an actionable patient timeline. Deep hands-on expertise in production NER, entity resolution, and hybrid search (Elasticsearch + embeddings/FAISS), plus robust data engineering practices (Airflow, Spark, data contracts, auditability) and experimentation-to-production rollout via shadow mode and feature flags.”
