Vetted Software Engineers in the NYC Metro

“Frontend-focused engineer with experience in healthcare and fintech dashboards, especially around real-time data delivery and performance. In a growth-stage startup environment, improved dashboard architecture by replacing polling with React Query and GraphQL, leading to more responsive and reliable user experiences and fewer stale-data complaints.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built an enterprise RAG chatbot over 40,000+ technical documents, owning the system from ingestion and retrieval design through launch, optimization, and incident prevention. Stands out for treating LLM reliability as a data, retrieval, and observability problem—delivering 90%+ benchmark accuracy, ~50% fewer hallucinations, and major gains in lookup speed and latency.”

“Built AI-powered products across both healthcare and financial services, including a privacy-conscious assistant for elderly health check-ins and a production RAG system for high-stakes financial document analysis. Stands out for combining full-stack engineering with strong LLM reliability practices—grounding, structured outputs, fallback handling, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop controls—while delivering measurable impact on accuracy, speed, and system performance.”

“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.”

“Front-end engineer in cybersecurity who has been a key owner in moving a legacy Razor-based risk mitigation platform to Vue 3. Stands out for practical UI modernization work: standardizing architecture, improving responsiveness, and creating reusable table/filtering components that made a complex internal application more consistent and efficient for users.”

“Full-stack/backend-leaning engineer who owned Shoptaki's Smart ID authentication platform end to end, building a centralized identity system that secured four services and removed duplicated auth logic. Also introduced and operationalized Claude Code in a TypeScript microservices environment, using prompt refinement, CI, and code review guardrails to improve development speed without compromising architecture or security.”
