“Full-stack builder with strong product and AI systems ownership, spanning data infrastructure, React/TypeScript apps, and LLM-powered agents. Particularly notable for building a crypto analytics MVP with catalog-driven ETL, config-based charting, and AI-generated dashboards, plus an options-strategy agent and an ops automation tool that cut a 10-minute workflow down to 10 seconds.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building credit/fraud enrichment services and checkout pipelines on AWS (EKS + Lambda) using FastAPI, Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, with a strong focus on reliability patterns (timeouts/retries/circuit breakers) and observability. Has also built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL into S3/Redshift with schema evolution and data quality controls, and modernized legacy credit decisioning into Java/Node microservices with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flag rollouts.”

“Performance marketer with hands-on ownership of $50K+/month spend across Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, and SEO, including healthcare work for Orlando Epilepsy Center. Demonstrated measurable efficiency gains (Meta CPL $300→$90 and 3x ROI) through structured testing, segmentation, and analytics-driven optimization, plus creator strategy improvements on TikTok by shifting to local influencers.”

“Engineering leader who managed a 20-person cross-functional team building customer-driven software solutions, delivering a 50% reduction in simulation/test lifecycle and securing a long-term strategic SLA. Strong in scalable data ingestion architectures (FastAPI + Kafka + multiprocess workers), operational diagnostics (correlation IDs/centralized logging), and microservice decoupling for analytics/visualization. Active open-source contributor who shipped a NATS bug fix and improved SDK onboarding with automation that cut ramp time by 30%.”

“IBM engineer who shipped an LLM-powered knowledge transfer platform (Transition Engine) for federal contract handoffs, deployed on a production OpenShift cluster in AWS GovCloud with FedRAMP-aligned compliance and strict data-boundary constraints. Led retrieval strategy, prompt engineering, and production deployment (PostgreSQL/Milvus/Keycloak), driving a reported 50% reduction in contract transition ramp-up time and positioning the tool for revenue-critical federal deals.”

Austin, TX5y exp

“Backend engineer with Apple experience who owned production platform improvements end-to-end, including a Redis caching layer that cut API latency ~35–40% and reduced DB load. Has hands-on on-call/incident response and observability (CloudWatch), plus experience scaling Docker/Kubernetes microservices and operating Kafka-based telemetry pipelines with schema evolution, deduplication, and replay/backfill handling.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience shipping production Python integrations and designing for reliability from day one, including idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling, contract checks, and full observability. Also brings web automation experience with Puppeteer and has implemented high-availability failover using load balancer liveness checks, backup environments, and cold standby architecture.”

“Internship experience at TikTok and nCino, with hands-on work spanning production Python data pipelines, recommendation-system feature workflows, Salesforce Apex automation, and flaky UI automation for a live stock recommendation platform. Stands out for a reliability-focused approach: anticipating failure modes, instrumenting observability, and turning ambiguous business processes into maintainable automated systems.”
