Vetted Teaching Assistants

“Research-focused software engineer who builds performance-critical Python/C++ systems emphasizing correctness, state-transition precision, and distributed coordination. Created an automated simulation-based testing/validation framework for quantum programs that caught subtle logic/type errors early, reduced debugging time, and improved developer confidence through strong observability and scalable test generation.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered grading platform that automates rubric-aligned scoring and feedback, with strong guardrails (RAG grounding, structured JSON, validation/retries) and operational rigor (metrics, drift monitoring). Experienced using CrewAI to orchestrate multi-agent workflows end-to-end and validating quality via gold-set benchmarking against human graders with regression testing on every prompt/model change.”

“Frontend engineer who led the end-to-end UI for an internal employee catalog tool at Genetec, building React/TypeScript dashboards with complex search filters. Emphasizes tight product-owner feedback loops (weekly demos), Figma-based design alignment, and disciplined delivery practices using CI/CD, automated tests, and version tagging for rollouts/reverts.”

“Built a production SQL chatbot for access-log analytics that replaced manual custom report requests with natural-language querying, using LangGraph and a ChromaDB-backed RAG pipeline for grounded, consistent answers. Implemented a privacy-preserving design where the LLM never sees raw customer data (only query metadata) and has experience building multi-agent/tool-calling systems with LangGraph (DeepAgents), including solving sub-agent communication drift via self-reflection.”

“Backend engineer/technical lead with experience building and operating real-time blockchain analytics systems at Merkle Science. Owned high-traffic Django/DRF services and Kafka streaming pipelines processing millions of events daily, with deep focus on performance (N+1 fixes, indexing, caching) and reliability (DLQs, retries, monitoring). Also led containerization and Kubernetes/GitOps-style CI/CD on Google Cloud, including a migration off Google App Engine to reduce cost and improve scalability.”

“Full-stack engineer who shipped a production "Financial Insight" assistant dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, integrating a RAG pipeline (embeddings + ChromaDB + LLM) via route handlers and owning post-launch performance (latency, token cost, retrieval relevance). Also built/optimized Postgres-backed workflows for an outbound dialer and callback routing engine handling ~10,000 daily contacts, validating query performance with EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS).”

Mid-level Data Analyst specializing in financial and customer analytics

Marietta, GA4y exp

“Analytics professional with experience at KPMG and Robosoft Technologies, working across financial and customer engagement data. They combine SQL, Python, experimentation, and BI dashboards to turn messy multi-source data into decision-ready insights, including a pricing test that improved conversion rates by 9%.”

“Built an AI-powered document extraction system at Copart that moved from initial POC to rollout across multiple yards, with customer-driven iteration including batch processing. Has hands-on full-stack experience spanning Java/Spring Boot backends, React frontends, and LLM-based workflows, with attention to reliability through multi-LLM fallback, retries, and post-processing.”

“Built an itinerary-planning startup MVP (LessGO) using React/TypeScript and a Node/Express backend integrating Google Maps and Gemini AI. Notably optimized Gemini latency from ~40 seconds to ~3 seconds through frontend caching, debugging, and model selection, and has TA experience supporting others with deployments and database connectivity.”

“Backend engineer who built and launched a warehouse locations/inventory microservice for Walmart, supporting a new product rollout with on-call war-room ownership and now running across all US distribution centers. Emphasizes reliability and correctness (background syncs, 2PC concepts, alerting) plus design-first API development in Python/FastAPI with OAuth/JWT and RBAC, and has led staged legacy-to-microservice migrations with continuous data integrity verification.”

“Robotics software engineer who contributed to an autonomous bartender robot (mobile base + ReactorX200 arm), owning manipulation/grasping, Gazebo simulation, and a YOLOv6 object-detection pipeline built from a manually collected/labeled dataset. Also handled system-level hardware bring-up integrating Raspberry Pi to ESP32 over micro-ROS on ROS2 Foxy, and has additional ROS package experience in EKF sensor fusion (IMU+GPS) and an autonomous disaster response boat.”

“Software engineer with experience across data engineering and backend/platform work: owned a Databricks/PySpark real-time pipeline powering customer dashboards with a 15-minute SLA, and helped modernize an investor web app from JSP to React/TypeScript with API + SQL/materialized-view performance improvements. Also contributed to breaking a Java monolith into microservices (Redis + gRPC on AWS EKS) and built an EC2-deployed Play Store/App Store crawler that reduced third-party data costs.”
