Vetted Software Engineers in Texas

“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.”

“Full-stack engineer with recent hands-on work across scientific data infrastructure and enterprise analytics. Notably drove a Crossref-to-DataCite DOI migration at CUAHSI, owning metadata mapping, Django integration, ROR funder handling, and safe production rollout, and has contributed broadly to HydroShare, a research data platform used by thousands of researchers.”

Richardson, TX9y exp

“Entrepreneurial product builder who has shipped two live App Store apps (Pixo content-based product marketing platform and Clutch AI dating reply helper). Also helped build a real-estate seller platform end-to-end, using AI matching to find buyers and contributing to onboarding nearly paying users and generating active MRR.”

“Software engineer with end-to-end ownership of a Qt/C++/QML desktop app for monitoring/configuring equipment, including hands-on UI performance optimization. Also built a web-based AI agent interface (React/TypeScript + Python Flask) with strong API contract discipline and async state handling, and improved microservices reliability using idempotency, DLQs, and observability. Created an internal CI/CD automation tool adopted across engineering and operations teams, adding safer rollbacks and better error messaging based on feedback.”

“Full-stack .NET/Azure engineer with end-to-end ownership of policy management microservices (React/TypeScript + C#/ASP.NET Core + Kubernetes) delivering significant performance and quality improvements (e.g., response time -35%, defects -30%, CSAT +18%). Also productionized an AI-assisted analyst workflow using Azure OpenAI with a RAG pipeline on Azure Cognitive Search, including rigorous prompt versioning, guardrails, and measurable impact (review time -40%, errors -55%). Led incremental legacy modernization via Strangler Fig and dual-write migrations with zero production regressions.”

“Full-stack/ML-leaning engineer who has shipped production-grade real-time analytics and an internal AI support assistant using RAG over enterprise documentation. Demonstrates strong systems thinking across scalability, reliability, observability, and LLM safety/evaluation (thresholded retrieval, RBAC, response validation, regression-gated evals), with concrete iteration based on performance metrics and user feedback.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong DevOps/AWS experience who ships end-to-end React/TypeScript + Node/Python systems and operates them in production. Built an LLM-assisted recommendations workflow for a SaaS product with robust reliability controls (schema-validated JSON outputs, fallbacks, caching, monitoring) and measured impact via adoption, time saved, and override rates; also experienced delivering MVPs fast in early-stage startup ambiguity.”

“Built and owned invoice automation and alerting products at Neuralix, automating multi-site electricity invoice ingestion from PDFs into validated JSON with strict schema enforcement and LLM-based validation (reported ~98% compliance). Delivered zero-manual processing at 200+ invoices/month and ~5x faster throughput, and designed a domain-driven alert lifecycle to reduce noisy notifications and improve operational response.”

“Backend engineer with fintech/transaction-processing experience who built and optimized a Spring Boot + PostgreSQL + AWS service handling money transactions, resolving peak-traffic latency via query/index and connection pool tuning. Shipped an LLM-driven risk-flagging workflow integrated via a FastAPI Python service, owning prompt design, validation guardrails, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop escalation to reduce false positives and improve precision over time.”

“Backend/infra-focused engineer who owned production systems for distributed ML experimentation (hyperparameter tuning across a cluster with GPU scaling, custom scheduling, and checkpoint-based fault tolerance). Also built and operated a low-latency log validation service using queued async workflows with idempotency, retries/backoff, and strong observability, plus experience building resilient Selenium-based browser automations for complex multi-step web flows.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in LLM applications, RAG, and OCR automation

Austin, TX3y exp

“At Trellis, built and shipped a production multi-agent, authenticated GenAI chatbot for sensitive financial account inquiries (loan/payment lookups), using dynamic model routing to control latency and cost while improving accuracy. Implemented prompt-injection defenses (Meta Prompt Guard), RAG with LangChain, and LLM-as-a-judge evaluation; the system cut manual support call volume by 40%+ and was refined through close collaboration with QA-driven user testing.”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who modernized a legacy jQuery-based product information management platform into a more modular React application and owned analytics dashboard integration across UI, APIs, and data flows. Brings strong experience with enterprise releases, TypeScript modeling for complex API data, and performance optimization for large, data-heavy product and analytics interfaces.”
