Vetted Software Engineers in New York

“Recent master’s graduate in robotics with applied experience across reinforcement learning and ROS 2 autonomy stacks. Built an RL-based drone vertiport traffic controller (PPO) focused on reward design and simulation integration, and has hands-on navigation work in ROS 2 including LiDAR preprocessing, SLAM/path planning, and stabilizing TurtleBot3 wall-following. Also brings deployment experience containerizing robotics nodes and scaling them with Kubernetes on AWS.”

“Data science/AI intern at University at Buffalo Business Services who built and deployed production systems spanning classic ML and LLM assistants. Delivered real-time competitor intelligence for a Cornell-partnered, $1B beverage launch by scraping/cleaning 5,000+ SKUs and deploying models via API, then built a domain-aware LLM assistant to modernize Excel-based workflows with strong grounding, privacy controls, and sub-5s latency.”

“Full-stack engineer who builds and scales customer-facing and internal AI products end-to-end (React/TypeScript/FastAPI/MongoDB) with strong product instrumentation and rapid MVP iteration. Built an AI-powered code review assistant adopted across teams and integrated into CI/CD, reducing manual review time by 30%+, and has hands-on experience with LLM retrieval/reasoning systems (LangChain + FAISS) and microservices scaling using RabbitMQ, Docker, and AWS.”

“Backend engineer who built and scaled a zero-to-one social product backend using Supabase (Postgres, Edge Functions, Auth, Realtime) plus Neo4j for graph-based friend recommendations. Demonstrates strong production rigor: staged rollouts with metrics, incident rollback/postmortems, and complex schema refactors using expand-contract/dual-write with reconciliation and feature flags. Notably proactive about edge cases like geo-boundary realtime delivery and idempotent retry safety.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has shipped production LLM systems end-to-end, including an AI request-routing service (FastAPI + BART MNLI + OpenAI/Gemini) that improved accuracy ~25% after launch via eval-driven prompt/category iteration. Also built an enterprise document intelligence/RAG platform on Azure (Blob/SharePoint/Teams ingestion, OCR/NLP chunking, embeddings in Azure Cognitive Search) with PII guardrails (Presidio), confidence gating, and scalable event-driven pipelines handling millions of documents.”

“Early-career backend engineer and solo builder of FrameFindr, an AI/OCR-based marathon photo tagging product used at live events. Demonstrated pragmatic scaling under tight infrastructure constraints (2GB VPS) and hands-on ownership of architecture, API design, auth (Google OAuth/JWT), and a MongoDB-to-MySQL migration with data-integrity safeguards.”
