Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in microservices and payments

New York, USA5y exp

“Full-stack engineer with experience at T-Mobile, Cisco, and Bharti Airtel, owning production plan upgrade/billing flows end-to-end from React/TypeScript UI through Spring Boot services to Docker/Jenkins/Kubernetes deployments. Demonstrated reliability and performance wins by migrating synchronous service calls to Kafka-based async processing with circuit breakers and by tuning Postgres queries/connection pools, achieving a reported 25% API response-time improvement and faster incident resolution via improved observability.”

“VR/social platform engineer with experience at AltspaceVR, Mozilla Hubs, and Dopple, spanning Unity/C#, custom engine networking, and early voice-agent systems. Particularly compelling for roles at the intersection of multiplayer, XR, and AI: they’ve built data-driven avatar systems, ownership-based netcode, VR replay capture, and a custom real-time voice->LLM->voice stack integrated with hardware and computer vision.”

“Built Bargain Bricks end-to-end as a solo creator, handling product ideation, design, backend, APIs, website, and native iOS/Android apps. They actively maintain and iterate on the product, which has over 1,000 downloads, and have improved conversion through UI changes that surfaced the best deal above the fold.”

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in microservices and cloud-native systems

New York City, NY4y exp

“Backend/infra engineer with experience across Nestle, J.P. Morgan, and Capgemini, combining ML systems work (YOLOv8/PyTorch object detection with TFLite edge deployment) with production-grade cloud/Kubernetes operations. Has delivered measurable impact via AWS migrations (25% cost reduction, 99.9% availability), microservice modernization (35% faster processing), and low-latency Kafka streaming for financial dashboards (<100ms) using DLQs and idempotent consumers.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in AI and full-stack development

New York, NY1y exp

“Consulting-background AI practitioner who led a production LLM pipeline on Snowflake Cortex to map hundreds of thousands of messy OCR/form-based contract fields into standardized Salesforce fields, including confidence scoring and an LLM-driven feedback loop. Strong focus on real-world constraints—token limits, cost control, and evaluation without ground truth—paired with frequent stakeholder-facing progress reporting.”

“McKinsey data/ML practitioner who led production deployment of an entity resolution + semantic search platform for unstructured finance and healthcare data, integrating with legacy systems under HIPAA constraints. Deep hands-on stack across transformers (spaCy/HF BERT), embeddings + FAISS, and production MLOps/workflow tooling (Airflow, Docker, CI/CD, Prometheus/Grafana), with reported gains of +30% decision speed and +25% search relevance.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in backend microservices and FinTech data pipelines

New York, NY4y exp

“Backend engineer at Goldman Sachs who built LLM-powered reconciliation/reporting services and high-throughput Kafka pipelines (8M+ events/day). Strong in production-grade Python/FastAPI microservices on Kubernetes with GitOps-style CI/CD, plus experience migrating legacy reporting/settlement services onto an internal Kubernetes platform using shadow deployments and gradual cutovers.”

Entry-level Computer Science graduate specializing in software and engineering

Jersey City, NJ

“Backend engineer focused on high-throughput Python/Flask systems on AWS, with strong scaling and performance tuning experience (e.g., PostgreSQL join reduced from ~3s to <200ms; background aggregation cut from 10 minutes to <90 seconds with 8x throughput). Has also integrated ML model serving into production APIs (churn prediction) using Celery/Redis batching and AWS Lambda/S3, and designed secure multi-tenant architectures with PostgreSQL schema isolation and row-level security.”

“Backend/automation engineer who led the design of an OOP Python test automation framework for AWS infrastructure (Behave + Jenkins), cutting regression effort from weeks to a 3–4 hour run. Has hands-on cloud and DevOps experience across AWS (boto3, ECS, AMI automation via GitHub Actions) plus data/migration work including on-prem-to-cloud Oracle Retail DB migration with rollback planning and a Kafka + ML fraud-detection streaming pipeline.”

“Full-stack engineer with fintech/trading domain experience (Fidelity) and startup SaaS CRM/billing platform work (Zoho), building real-time portfolio analytics and trade-processing systems. Strong in microservices, event-driven architectures (Kafka/WebSockets), and AWS/Kubernetes operations with measurable performance gains (~34–35% latency reduction) and maintainability improvements (~40% faster deployments). Targeting a founding full-stack engineer role in NYC with meaningful equity.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in cloud data platforms and LLM applications

New York, USA4y exp

“LLM/agent builder with experience shipping production LLM features at an early-stage ed-tech mental wellness startup (conversation analysis + structured feedback via FastAPI, OpenAI API, Render, CI/CD). Also built a multi-step dining concierge agent using OpenSearch over Yelp data with fallback query relaxation, and has enterprise data engineering experience at Capgemini migrating databases to Snowflake with robust ETL normalization and data-quality handling.”
