Vetted Software Engineers in the Los Angeles Metro

“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.”

Mid-level XR Software Engineer specializing in real-time AR/VR digital twins

Los Angeles, CA8y exp

“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.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in React/Node.js and backend APIs

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“Built and deployed a production Incident Tracking System using Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript with Postgres (Neon) and Prisma, including RBAC (User/Support/Admin), tickets/comments, and audit logging. Uses Zod for schema/type validation and relies on Chrome/React DevTools to debug and refine UI/UX and performance.”

“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).”

Junior Machine Learning & Full-Stack Engineer specializing in applied AI systems

Los Angeles, CA2y exp

“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.”
