Vetted Software Engineers in the NYC Metro

“Backend/AI engineer who built production-grade intelligence systems in high-stakes domains including tax/legal document analysis and brain tumor MRI workflows. Stands out for combining LLM/RAG product delivery with strong engineering rigor around retrieval evaluation, grounding, validation, observability, and safe fallbacks—turning impressive demos into systems users could actually trust.”

“Built a production ad-spend optimization system that combined deterministic audit logic with LLM-generated explanations, surfacing severe inefficiencies including 70-90% wasted spend in some Google Ads accounts. Stands out for pairing measurable business impact with pragmatic AI safety and usability decisions, including approval-gated execution and structured, human-readable recommendations.”

“FinTech engineer who has owned customer-facing onboarding deployments end-to-end, combining React/Node.js application development with workflow automation and post-launch operational metrics. They also implemented an LLM-driven onboarding assistant using contextual prompts and backend orchestration, and showed practical production experience debugging non-deterministic AI behavior caused by stale pipeline context.”

“Master’s capstone at Stevens: conceptualized and helped build a cross-platform assistive mobile app for visually impaired users with currency detection (ML), voice-driven AI chatbot (OpenRouter), and a guided navigation video-call feature using a shared room code. Personally implemented Firebase login/sign-in, facial-recognition login, video calling, chatbot integration, and led integration/testing across the full app.”
