“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Walmart and HealthSnap building Python services and data pipelines on AWS (EKS, Lambda, Glue, Airflow). Strong reliability and operations focus—implemented idempotency + circuit breakers for peak-traffic consistency issues, GitOps CI/CD, and observability. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (Postgres p95 45s to <5s, ~60% CPU reduction) and modernized SAS batch workflows to Python with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flagged rollout.”

“Backend-leaning engineer with experience at Dropbox, Wayfair, and Etsy who has led cross-product integrations and internal platform tooling. Re-architected a legacy promo code system from a PHP monolith to a Java/Spring Boot microservice achieving a 99% execution-time reduction, and built a React/TypeScript + Supabase product (press.social) with LLM-powered bulk parallel generation and a path to multi-tenancy.”

“Software engineer with 2.5 years at Amazon working on the Package Tracking page (Amazon’s most visited page), delivering new customer actions like Cancel Delivery and Buy Again within a Spring Boot-based stack. Has hands-on experience with feature-flagged rollouts (Weblab), A/B testing, and scaling/load testing for Prime Day-level traffic, and is upskilling into React while leveraging modern AI coding tools on side projects.”

“Full-stack engineer (Snowflake) who shipped an AI/LLM-powered data exploration product end-to-end, spanning Spring Boot/Python services and a polished React UI with streaming responses and robust fallbacks. Experienced operating high-scale AWS deployments (Docker/Kubernetes, SNS/SQS, RDS Postgres, CloudWatch, Jenkins CI/CD) supporting thousands to tens of thousands of concurrent users, including handling real traffic-spike scaling incidents.”

“Bootstrapped-startup CTO and former founding engineer who has built products end-to-end as a solo developer across web and games. Led Grublify’s Next.js/TypeScript site (Strapi + Shopify), including a blog that reached ~5k monthly visitors and performance work like progressive loading/infinite scroll. Also implemented a resilient USDA nutrition ingestion pipeline with retries, partial-failure handling, and computed nutrient metrics.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer who has shipped across console/PC/VR and mobile, including Ace Combat 7 (VR) and mobile titles. Built monetization-impacting gameplay systems (power-ups) and a full server-authoritative multiplayer architecture, and uses LLM-driven editor tooling and multi-agent workflows to rapidly prototype features while adding automated testing, benchmarking, dashboards, and CI/CD.”
