Senior Frontend/Full-Stack Engineer specializing in React and TypeScript

New York, USA7y exp

“Frontend engineer from Meltwater who led delivery of a universal post details modal used across multiple apps, integrating three different frontend frameworks (Vue, React, StencilJS) into a plug-and-play StencilJS feature. Built scalable, reusable UI components and even helped create an internal CSS library/design system, with a strong focus on performance optimization and reliable QA-driven rollouts.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of Python/Flask microservices and recommendation systems across edtech and telecom. Deployed and operated real-time personalization/recommendation platforms on AWS EKS with Jenkins-based CI/CD, GitOps-style declarative configs, and strong observability practices. Has migration experience moving legacy mixed environments to modern containerized Kubernetes and built Kafka pipelines feeding ML services while managing schema evolution.”

“Hands-on LLM practitioner who built a production document-processing pipeline in Python, tackling long-document handling and latency with chunking/batching and a user-driven correction feedback loop. Experienced operationalizing AI workflows with Kubernetes (CronJobs, autoscaling, scheduled data cleaning and weekly retraining) and applying structured testing/evaluation (E2E, LLM-as-judge, HITL) while communicating solutions clearly to non-technical clients using visual diagrams.”

Mid-level Backend Software Engineer specializing in AI workflow automation for finance and healthcare

4y exp

“Backend/AI engineer with healthcare domain experience who built a patient journey analytics API (FastAPI/PostgreSQL/Snowflake/Redis) and debugged peak-hour latency down from ~900ms to ~50ms via indexing and query optimization. Shipped an LLM-powered clinical summary/recommendation assistant end-to-end and designed a multi-step risk evaluation agent workflow with safety guardrails against hallucinations and unsafe outputs.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in FinTech and AI platforms

New York, NY4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with 3 years of AI/ML experience who has shipped production LLM workflows, including a Bloomberg triage dashboard that cut manual processing by 35%. Combines React/TypeScript product sense with AWS/Spring/Lambda backend architecture and unusually strong practical judgment around evals, trust, retrieval, latency, and UX for real-world AI systems.”

“At Esri, the candidate is building a production LLM-powered WebGIS AI framework that embeds an AI assistant into web maps and routes natural-language requests into ArcGIS JavaScript SDK functions via a LangGraph-orchestrated, multi-agent system. They emphasize production reliability and scale (strict tool calling/JSON, live schema validation, query guardrails) and rigorous evaluation/observability using LangSmith, offline prompt datasets, and latency/tool-call accuracy tracking.”

“Robotics software engineer who has built full ROS 2 stacks for both a semi-automated robotic ultrasound system (UR5e + depth camera) and a quadrotor planning/MPC pipeline in Gazebo. Strong in integrating major ROS 2 frameworks (MoveIt/Nav2/RTAB-Map), writing custom packages (URDF, ACADOS-based MPC, laser landmark detection), and optimizing real-time behavior via GPU parallelization and distributed multi-threaded ROS 2 architectures; also contributes to ROS 2 core (structured parameters).”

“Built a production-grade agentic document intake system that converts PDFs into structured records with strict schema validation, confidence-based retries, and a human review UI. Demonstrates strong practical judgment around making LLM systems reliable in enterprise workflows, including custom orchestration, observability, and continuous evals rather than relying on off-the-shelf abstractions.”

“Backend/AI engineer at Intuit who built a production AI-powered case assistant for support agents (FastAPI on AWS EKS) combining Postgres case data, OpenSearch retrieval with embedding reranking, and internal LLMs. Improved peak-season reliability by diagnosing P95/P99 timeout spikes and cutting P95 latency from ~800ms to <400ms via composite indexing, keyset pagination, connection pool tuning, and caching, while adding grounded-generation guardrails (evidence packs, confidence thresholds, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop).”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned high-volume Java/Spring Boot microservices on AWS (Kafka + RDS/DynamoDB) and has hands-on experience debugging complex production latency incidents across DB, JVM/GC, and async consumers. Also shipped applied AI features for ops, including an LLM-powered log analysis assistant and an incident-response agent with strong safety guardrails (schema-validated tool use, retries/backoff, and human-in-the-loop escalation).”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in FinTech and scalable microservices

Texas, USA5y exp

“Backend/platform engineer focused on high-traffic financial systems, owning real-time event-driven ingestion and Kafka streaming pipelines using Python/FastAPI, Avro schemas, and AWS services. Has hands-on Kubernetes (EKS) and GitOps/CI-CD experience (ArgoCD/Jenkins) and supported large-scale migrations from legacy VMs to containerized microservices with zero/low-downtime cutovers.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in MERN and FinTech

Arkansas, AR4y exp

“Software engineer with Walmart experience building full-stack internal products, including an end-to-end email notification system and AI-assisted workflow features using OpenAI. Stands out for combining React/TypeScript frontend work, backend integrations, and pragmatic execution in ambiguous environments such as a React Native barcode-scanning and label-printing app.”

“Built and operationalized intelligent pricing infrastructure for live event ticketing at StubHub, emphasizing iterative prototyping with traders and production-grade monitoring (Splunk, API/data-stream thresholding). Also partnered with customer-facing teams to drive adoption and helped win a significant consignment revenue-share deal by demoing the system to the Philadelphia 76ers and quantifying pricing efficacy and business impact.”

“Backend/ML systems engineer with experience at SDSC, UCSD, and Media.net, building production semantic dataset/model discovery using embeddings + Solr KNN and LLM-based intent/reranking at 5M+ dataset scale. Emphasizes offline/online separation for predictable serving, has delivered measurable gains (23% retrieval accuracy, 38% latency reduction) and helped secure a $3M+ NSF grant.”

Intern Autonomous Driving Software Engineer specializing in ADAS controls and embedded systems

Auburn Hills, MI3y exp

“Embedded control and systems-integration engineer with hands-on experience taking control logic from Simulink simulation through embedded implementation and rigorous MIL/SIL/HIL plus vehicle testing. Has built and tuned nonlinear/decentralized MPC for autonomous driving behaviors (obstacle avoidance, overtaking, multi-agent coordination) and has CI/CD experience (Jenkins/Git); currently ramping into ROS2 with Python/C++.”

“Interned at Paycom and shipped a productionized ML/AI system that automatically regenerates XPath selectors to self-heal Selenium UI tests when the DOM changes. The pipeline handled 1,000+ failing tests/hour with ~90–95% auto-fix accuracy, using confidence thresholds, human-in-the-loop fallbacks, logging/dashboards, and retraining loops to manage distribution shift and maintain reliability.”

“Software engineer who worked at The Tylt (part of Advance Alpha Group incubator), building a CMS and API. Interested in returning to fast-paced incubator/startup environments and emphasizes rapid user validation and improving user experience.”

“Data engineer who has owned end-to-end production pipelines ingesting ~500GB/day from APIs/databases/Kafka into an S3 data lake (Glue/Spark) with Airflow-orchestrated Great Expectations quality gates. Built resilient external data collection systems with idempotent jobs, exponential-backoff retries, raw data capture, and backfills; also shipped Snowflake-backed APIs with caching, versioned endpoints, and backward-compatible data contracts. Led an early-stage Azure data platform build with phased delivery and GitHub Actions CI/CD, resolving schema-mismatch incidents quickly without downstream corruption.”
