Vetted Software Engineers in the Los Angeles Metro

“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).”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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).”

“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).”

“Startup-style full-stack/backend engineer with hands-on AWS architecture experience who shipped an LLM-driven assessment-question automation feature (Python microservice calling AWS Bedrock via SQS, deployed on Lambda) with strong validation/guardrails and retry strategies. Also improved production scalability by moving a CPU/IO-heavy file upload path out of a Go API into a queue/Lambda design monitored with CloudWatch, and has React+TypeScript experience optimizing analytics dashboards.”

“Unity gameplay programmer with hands-on multiplayer networking experience (Photon Fusion, Mirror, SmartFox, Unity networking), including client-side prediction and rollback to smooth networked movement under lag/packet loss. Recently improved a fast-paced 2D platformer’s feel by adding momentum/velocity “gears,” validated through internal cohorts and volunteer/friends-and-family playtests. Comfortable in both startup and large-company environments and currently seeking a high-impact, intensive project.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end real-time IoT telemetry backend that powers a digital twin experience on a Meta Quest headset, integrating Cisco LoRaWAN sensors and external REST data sources. Migrated from Azure Functions to a FastAPI service to overcome firewall constraints, add caching/fallback reliability, and significantly reduce operating cost while improving performance and evolvability.”
