Vetted Software Engineers in the Los Angeles Metro

“Backend/AI engineer with production experience in legal tech: built a high-scale licensing/subscription API (FastAPI/Postgres/Stripe) and shipped a RAG-based chatbot for an eDiscovery platform. Designed a robust legal document ingestion workflow that processes thousands of documents into a searchable vector index with clear retry/escalation logic, and has demonstrated measurable Postgres performance wins (200ms to 10ms) using EXPLAIN ANALYZE and composite indexing.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built a time-sensitive data retrieval system for a source with no public API, using an AWS EC2-hosted persistent browser session plus a PostgreSQL TTL caching layer—cutting manual retrieval by 99% and achieving sub-10-second average retrieval. Emphasizes production security (Secrets Manager, encryption, IP allowlisting, rate limiting) and robustness via testing and edge-case handling (atomic file operations).”

“Master’s thesis focused on building and deploying a gait-based biometric authentication system using mobile accelerometer time-series data as an alternative to passwords/2FA. Emphasized real-world robustness by addressing sensor noise and variability (phone placement, walking speed, footwear) and improving safety using biometric metrics like FAR/FRR and EER, while collaborating closely with a non-ML thesis advisor.”

“Built both a full-stack AWS file-processing pipeline and a production AI document Q&A system ('smart-doc'). Stands out for combining strong cloud engineering with practical LLM/RAG architecture, including hybrid retrieval, reranking, structured outputs, confidence-based retries, and production monitoring.”

“Backend ERP developer specializing in Odoo (Python MVC) with hands-on experience integrating ERP workflows with external SQL databases and handling cloud deployment compatibility issues. Led a migration of ~40 years of legacy data into a modern ERP using scripted transforms and unique identifiers to preserve data integrity, and has experience implementing role-based permissions and preventing failure modes in SQL status update flows.”

“Backend engineer who built and scaled AmazonProAI, a multi-tenant SaaS platform for Amazon sellers, using a modular Django/DRF monolith with strict seller-level isolation and security controls. Led a controlled SQLite-to-PostgreSQL migration and hardened bulk Excel ingestion with idempotency and data integrity constraints to prevent duplicate metrics and noisy alerts while keeping the system ready for future service extraction.”
