Hire the Best Java Engineers
Georgetown, Texas
I'm a senior full-stack engineer with ๐๐+ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ of experience, including nearly a decade building at scale for ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ and ๐๐ฆ๐๐ณ๐จ๐ง. Unlike most generalists, I also build production-grade AI features. That combination is rare, and it's why clients hire me. Whether you need a scalable web application, a complex backend system, or AI/LLM capabilities woven into an existing product, I can own it end-to-end, architecture through deployment, frontend through infrastructure. ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ-๐๐ญ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ React + TypeScript frontends with clean component architecture, real-time updates, secure auth flows, and performance tuned for real users. Java backends (Spring Boot, WebFlux, reactive systems), Node.js/TypeScript APIs, REST & GraphQL (Apollo), microservices design, and distributed data layers across DynamoDB, SQL, and NoSQL. I build applications that are testable, maintainable, and designed for scale from day one, not patched together after the fact. ๐๐ & ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง This is where I pull ahead. When a project calls for intelligence, a chatbot, a knowledge assistant, a RAG pipeline, automated workflows, I don't hand it off to a separate AI contractor. I build it myself, integrated cleanly into the same stack. GPT/Gemini integrations, retrieval-augmented generation, context-aware chat systems, prompt pipeline design, structured output with validation, and hallucination mitigation. AI that's engineered into the product, not bolted on. ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ & ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ AWS-native architectures, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and production observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog. SLO-driven monitoring and reliable deployment workflows. Features don't matter if they're not up, I make sure they stay up. ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฌ:: Most full-stack engineers can't touch AI. Most AI freelancers can't architect real systems. I do both, and I've done it inside two of the most demanding engineering organizations in the world. ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฌ: At Apple, built a React + TypeScript platform for large-scale test execution, developed an AI-powered internal support chatbot, and improved system observability, cutting incident resolution time by 30% and reducing deployment time by 30%. At Amazon, migrated critical systems from Oracle to DynamoDB, reduced infrastructure maintenance by 20%, designed resilient AWS-native services, and helped launch Amazon in new international markets. ๐'๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐๐: A senior engineer who can own your product end-to-end. A full-stack application built properly, architecture-first, scalable, maintainable. AI or LLM features added to an existing product without breaking what's already there. A complex backend, a polished frontend, or both. A technical partner who ships production systems, not prototypes. ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค: Architecture-first. MVP fast, production-ready fast. Clean, testable code. Clear communication. Built for scale from day one. I don't build throwaway demos. I build systems that survive production, with or without AI. Let's talk.

Core experience as a Java developer and Backend developer As a Java developer with 8+ years in production systems, my core is Java 8 through Java 21 with the full Spring ecosystem Boot, Cloud, Security, WebFlux, Batch, and Spring AI for AI-integrated backends. I work across both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis) databases, selecting the right store based on access patterns not habit. As a backend developer I've optimised slow MongoDB queries to cut response times, redesigned DynamoDB access patterns for a high-throughput healthcare API, and built Redis caching layers that kept latency flat under load. As an AWS developer, my hands-on stack covers Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB, Cognito, SQS, SNS, SES, S3, API Gateway, Route 53, and CloudFormation built and maintained in a live US healthcare platform. I design serverless pipelines end-to-end, not just deploy to them. For async workloads I wire event-driven systems using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SNS/SQS depending on durability and throughput requirements. On the container side: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenShift, Terraform, and Jenkins full IaC from infrastructure definition to CI/CD pipeline. As an AI developer, I've shipped Spring AI integrations for workflow automation backends, built document intelligence services capable of processing and remediating hundreds-of-pages PDFs against accessibility standards, and connected GraphQL APIs via AWS AppSync for mobile and web AI-driven applications. I also have production experience integrating medical hardware APIs, Stripe subscription billing, and HubSpot CRM sync into Java backends the kind of third-party integration work every backend developer eventually owns in a real product.

Senior backend engineer (Java, Spring Boot, Python) with AI built in. 4,100+ hours, $100K+ earned, 100% Job Success, and enterprise delivery for Apple, PepsiCo, Vodafone, and Walmart. ๐ ๐๐ข, ๐'๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ฒ๐. I've spent 13+ years in software engineering, and I've become the engineer teams trust when the backend simply cannot fail. I'm Expert-Vetted on Upwork (top 1%), Top 3% on Toptal, and a former Specialist Programmer at Infosys (their top 1%), where I built for Apple, British Petroleum, Vodafone UK, and Walmart. Right now I'm Tech Lead on a 500,000-user platform at US Pharmacopeia and a sustaining engineer on PepsiCo's GenAI ordering system through Toptal. What that means for you: you're not handing your product to someone learning on your budget. You're getting an engineer who has already shipped the hard version of what you're trying to build. โ๏ธ ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ ๐น AI-integrated backends. RAG, LLM and agent workflows, vector search, wired into real Java or Python systems with Spring AI, LangChain, and the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. Production, not demos. ๐น Microservices that scale. Java 17/21 and Spring Boot, brittle monoliths broken into services that hold up under load. (Recently: a Java 8 to 25 migration with zero downtime.) ๐น SaaS and FinTech platforms. Multi-tenant, zero-trust auth, payment and ledger logic that reconciles to the cent, audit trails, and the test pipelines that keep regressions out. ๐น Full-stack when you need it. FastAPI, Flask, React and Next.js on top, so one engineer owns the whole arc from schema to screen. ๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐'๐ฉ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ (๐๐ก๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐) โ $50M a year moves through a FinTech ledger I built. 99.99% accuracy, reconciles to the cent. โ 500,000 users sign in through a zero-trust auth platform I architected at US Pharmacopeia. โ 2,500+ venues run on Bar.Stream, where a human-in-the-loop RAG engine I built replaced manual product classification, and 200+ automations replaced manual data entry. โ 100% invoice-parsing accuracy from an AI agent I built for MPI, manual reconciliation gone. โ 60% faster APIs and zero-downtime modernization for 50,000+ educators on KigaPortal. โ 75% more API throughput on Apple's repair backend. Few engineers can put Apple, PepsiCo, a $50M ledger, and production AI on one page. I can, and I can walk you through the architecture and the numbers behind every one. ๐ ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐๐ Java ยท Spring Boot / Cloud / Security / AI ยท Python ยท FastAPI ยท Node.js ยท RAG ยท LangChain ยท LLM + vector databases ยท OpenAI + Anthropic ยท PostgreSQL ยท MySQL ยท MongoDB ยท Elasticsearch ยท AWS ยท GCP ยท Docker ยท Kubernetes ยท CI/CD ยท microservices ยท event-driven ๐ ๐๐ข๐ช ๐ ๐ช๐ข๐ฅ๐ You work directly with me. Not an agency, not a rotating team, and not a junior building it while a senior name sits on the invoice. I take your idea from a rough brief to a written spec, then I build it: architecture, code, the hard parts, and the reviews. I've carried year-long builds end to end on my own, so nothing gets lost in a handoff. I keep it efficient. You get working software and a clear weekly update, not a week full of standups. I'm on a call when it actually matters, and when something is at risk you hear it from me early, before it breaks. You set direction, I run the build. ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ง'๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง Send me a short note: what you're building and where it's stuck. Within a day you'll get a straight read back, how I'd approach it, the first risk I'd kill, and the one question I'd want answered before we start.
