Vetted Software Engineers in the Los Angeles Metro

“Full-stack engineer with payments/settlement domain experience who modernized a payment tracking workflow from REST to GraphQL and delivered a production payment status dashboard using Next.js App Router + TypeScript. Strong in performance and reliability work (Postgres indexing/Explain Analyze, Redis caching, Datadog observability) and in durable event-driven processing with Kafka (DLQs, idempotency, reconciliation, event replay).”

“Engineering leader for a facial-recognition edge platform who drove a full-stack modernization to scale from ~100 edge devices to thousands of locations. Led a major distributed-systems re-architecture (NATS streaming), database migration (MongoDB to PostgreSQL + TimeScaleDB), and UI/API modernization (React), while scaling the team 5→15 and implementing CI/CD + automated QA to improve release velocity and reliability.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and iterated a CRM dashboard at ReplyQuick by sitting with end users, prioritizing blockers, and shipping frequent updates—improving usability and performance enough to replace a spreadsheet workflow within ~2 months. Demonstrates strong security fundamentals (OAuth2/JWT + RBAC) and practical microservices experience (decoupling a CRM API from a PDF-processing service via async processing and status tracking).”

“Backend/data platform engineer who owned an enterprise Django REST + PostgreSQL reporting backend and built Python ETL pipelines to normalize 3M+ legacy customer records, improving data reliability by 85%. Strong Kubernetes/GitOps practitioner (Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with real-world production debugging experience, plus Kafka streaming at 5M events/day and a zero-downtime monolith-to-event-driven microservices migration on AWS that cut infra costs by 42%.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in QA automation and full-stack web development

Los Angeles, CA7y exp

“Automation and customer-facing technical specialist with experience at QA Wolf and Kalmar, taking Playwright E2E testing from prototype scripts into CI-gated production pipelines (80%+ automated coverage). Also trained both software teams and industrial operations audiences (Fleet View for automated straddle carriers) and partnered with sales/customer teams to translate technical results (e.g., Siemens PLC updates, QA ROI) into adoption and faster closes.”

“Backend engineer who has designed and evolved high-traffic event/activity management systems using Node/Express and PostgreSQL, prioritizing scalability and reliability with a layered architecture. Has led zero-downtime refactors/migrations using parallel runs, dual writes, and rigorous validation/monitoring, and brings a security-focused API approach (JWT, RBAC/ABAC, rate limiting, DB-enforced tenant/RLS filters).”

“QA automation-focused candidate with hands-on ownership of unit and integration test suites, including CI/CD integration in GitLab. Caught a database-query regression that would have shipped incomplete API data by relying on automated integration tests, and has practical Cypress experience stabilizing flaky tests using cy.intercept()/cy.wait() and stable selectors.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and web applications

Huntington Beach, CA5y exp

“Software engineer turned solutions/technical support engineer with 5+ years of experience supporting and migrating a custom CRM used by U.S. House of Representatives offices. Has hands-on ownership of database export/import scripting, API key-based integrations, and production troubleshooting, and also consults government customers on procurement/CLM workflows while partnering with sales/marketing on demos and adoption use cases.”

“Full-stack engineer at an early-stage startup (AirKitchenz) who owned the hourly booking/availability and first paid booking flow end-to-end—React/TypeScript frontend, Node backend, Postgres modeling, and Stripe payments/webhooks. Experienced operating production on AWS (EC2/Elastic Beanstalk, Docker, RDS, CloudWatch) and building reliable, idempotent integrations while iterating quickly in a pre-PMF environment through direct host/renter feedback.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AWS serverless and React/Node.js

Los Angeles, CA5y exp

“Backend engineer who built and evolved a serverless AWS platform for large-scale live screening events with real-time chat/feedback and streaming (API Gateway/Lambda/DynamoDB/WebSockets/IVS, IaC via Pulumi). Led production refactors and phased migrations using feature flags and dual-write strategies, and has hands-on experience implementing JWT auth, RBAC, and database-enforced row-level security for multi-tenant systems.”

“Healthcare software sales candidate with hands-on experience building outbound campaigns, refining ICP and messaging in a small, iterative environment, and selling AI-enabled EMR capabilities. Demonstrates strong consultative discovery in nuanced care settings like home health and home care, with measurable outbound results including a 12% reply rate, 5-10 demos, and 25% demo conversion.”

“AI/LLM engineer with crypto/social-data domain experience who built an end-to-end AI trading signals and analysis backend using Next.js, Inngest, Gemini, and Supabase, including real-time progress UX and robust rate-limit/reliability handling. Also published an MCP SDK on NPM for authenticated agent tool access and built autonomous Twitter-based AI agents; strengthened reliability at LunarCrush by adding CI-gated E2E testing across web and mobile (Cypress/Maestro).”
