Vetted Software Engineers in Texas

“JavaScript engineer with open-source library contribution experience, including diagnosing a validation-related bug, shipping a tested fix, and improving documentation with practical examples and edge-case guidance to reduce repeated community questions. Emphasizes profiling-driven performance work, small safe refactors, and proactive ownership in fast-moving, unstructured teams.”

“Backend engineer with Paycom experience who deployed a TypeScript web app on AWS and is re-architecting Stripe webhook handling using Kafka for durable, high-throughput asynchronous processing. Also delivered a freelance Python solution for a hospital that ingested sensor API data, normalized inconsistent readings, generated reports, and sent threshold-based email alerts while collaborating directly with hospital staff.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has built and operated production Node.js/Express services on AWS (Postgres/Redis) and has hands-on experience shipping an AI-powered support agent using RAG (Pinecone + LLM) with grounding checks and evaluation for hallucination rate. Demonstrates strong production reliability/performance debugging, including reducing peak latency from ~2s back to sub-300ms through query and caching optimizations, plus designing agent workflows with retries and human-in-the-loop escalation.”

“QA automation engineer focused on backend/API quality who owned an end-to-end API regression suite and integrated Cypress/JS automation into GitLab CI with smoke-vs-nightly regression gating. Caught a critical auth security regression (expired tokens returning 200 instead of 401) before production and is strong in stabilizing flaky tests using network interception and actionable CI reporting.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who owned high-traffic internal services end-to-end (FastAPI/Django) including REST/GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL optimization, async task processing via SQS, and full CI/CD. Strong Kubernetes-on-EKS and GitOps (ArgoCD + Helm) experience, plus Kafka real-time streaming work and phased cloud-to-on-prem migration support.”

“Backend/data engineer with strong production experience across Python microservices (FastAPI) and AWS serverless/data platforms (Lambda, API Gateway, Glue, Redshift). Demonstrates reliability and incident ownership (rate limits, retries/circuit breakers, monitoring) and has delivered measurable SQL performance gains (12–15s to <800ms, ~60% CPU reduction). Seeking fully remote work and not open to relocation/onsite meetings.”

“Backend engineer who built an Emergency Alert System with Virginia Tech for the City of Alexandria, focusing on real-time ingestion, secure dashboards, and AI-assisted prioritization. Emphasizes high-stakes reliability with guardrails (hybrid rules+LLM, confidence-based fallbacks), scalable async processing, and defense-in-depth security (JWT/RBAC plus database row-level security).”

“AI research engineer who has built and tested LLM agents end-to-end, including a Telegram real-time voice-to-typing assistant integrated with calendar scheduling. Emphasizes production concerns (security via mic-triggered activation, multi-model fallbacks, monitoring) and agent predictability using a GPT-3.5-based critic plus structured outputs (Pydantic) and ReAct-style orchestration.”

“Full-stack product engineer who builds and owns production features across Next.js/React/TypeScript and Java Spring Boot, with strong Postgres data modeling and performance tuning. Has delivered measurable improvements (60%+ faster renders, 2s→100ms queries, 50% lower workflow latency) and built reliable Kafka-based workflows with robust observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager) and high test coverage.”
