Hire mid-level freelance developers in Tampa Bay in United States

Software engineer with 8 years of experience across QA, full-stack development, and mentorship. Comfortable picking up unfamiliar technologies quickly and delivering production-ready code in whatever stack the project demands. Practices TDD religiously, takes ownership of bugs, and ships polished features (not just “done”). Mentored apprentices into client-ready software craftsmen. Actively builds side projects, contributes to open source, and invests personal time and money into professional growth.

I didn't start my career staring at a terminal — I started with a sketchbook. After studying illustration and industrial design at Kendall College of Art and Design and Ringling College, I found myself drawn less to the canvas and more to the craft of how things are built. The same instinct that made me obsess over composition, proportion, and user experience in art turned out to translate perfectly to frontend engineering. Code, it turns out, is just another medium — and I've been pushing its limits ever since. Over the last decade-plus I've grown from building responsive marketing sites into leading large-scale platform engineering at Deloitte, where I work at the intersection of frontend architecture, delivery operations, and AI-assisted tooling. I've shipped enterprise React applications, designed automation pipelines that replaced hours of manual work with a single command, and turned chaotic multi-repo environments into well-documented, auditable systems that teams can actually trust. Some recent highlights: 🚀 Led cps-process-automation, an end-to-end workflow automation initiative that reduced manual processing, improved SLA adherence, and gave stakeholders real-time visibility into operational runs 🔧 Drove 30+ repository modernization across Project Omnia — coordinating dependency upgrades, PR waves, and release execution in Azure DevOps with zero dropped balls 🤖 Built AI-driven automation tools that streamlined CI/CD, PR validation, and testing workflows — shipping faster without sacrificing quality 📚 Converted tribal knowledge into reusable SOPs and operational playbooks that improved onboarding, reduced execution variance, and made audit season a lot less painful Where I can help where others can't? I'm the rare engineer who thinks like a designer, documents like a tech writer, and automates like someone who really hates doing the same thing twice. I bridge the gap between technical execution and human workflows — whether that means partnering with designers in Figma, translating ambiguous business requirements into production-ready systems, or just making sure the team actually understands what shipped and why. If you need someone who can own a project from whiteboard to production and leave the codebase better than they found it — let's talk.

I’m a backend-focused software engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable systems and AI-driven applications. Recently, I’ve been working as a Founding Software Engineer at an early-stage startup, where I built end-to-end AI features including a speech processing pipeline (91% accuracy) and a RAG-based conversational system for long-term user memory. I enjoy working in 0→1 environments where I can take ownership of systems from design to deployment. My experience includes building backend services using Node.js and PostgreSQL, integrating cloud services like AWS, and designing systems that handle real-world usage and scale. I’m currently looking for backend or software engineering roles where I can contribute to building high-impact products, especially in AI, platform, or data-driven systems.

I’m a front-end developer with a love for crafting clean UIs with maintainable code to match. My strengths are in the front of the front of development: making sure UIs sparkle. I really enjoy working with and coaching my team on integrating design systems in order to maintain visual consistency throughout the product. Also I'm a huge lover and enthusiast of AI! Have been working remote a long time; looking to get back to my roots and connect with other creatives and find opportunities in the Tampa Bay area.

Java Backend Engineer with 2.6 years of enterprise experience who genuinely enjoys the moment a hard problem clicks. Not just understanding it — but building something that fixes it, and watching other people benefit from that fix. That loop of learning, building, and seeing real impact is what keeps me going. My foundation is in enterprise backend systems — Spring Boot, Kafka, microservices, the kind of infrastructure where getting it wrong has real consequences. At Cognizant I worked in mobile banking, where I rebuilt a loan approval pipeline that was leaving 10,000+ users waiting four days for a decision. After redesigning it with Kafka and an embedded Python ML service, that dropped to 24 hours. I also cut AWS infrastructure costs by 40% through JVM tuning and batch job optimization — not by scaling up, but by actually diagnosing the problem. Beyond the technical depth, I've stepped into leadership as a Pod Captain — and I find just as much challenge in unblocking a team as I do in debugging a system. We all hit small friction points every day, and I genuinely enjoy turning something I've learned into a tool that removes one of them for good. What excites me most right now is applied AI and GCP — not as trends to follow, but as practical layers that make production systems smarter. I've fine-tuned BERT models, built FastAPI inference services, and integrated ML directly into production pipelines. I recently completed my Master's in Computer Science at Cal State San Bernardino with a 3.9 GPA, which deepened my conviction that the best engineering quietly makes someone's day easier. I'm based in Orlando, open to Tampa Bay opportunities, and at my best when the problem is messy enough that most people would rather avoid it.

I started my career as a software engineering intern at Jacobs Engineering Group supporting NASA projects, where I built automation tools and got my first taste of what it means to write code that actually matters. That early experience set the tone for how I approach development: build things that work reliably, automate what can be automated, and always think about the person on the other end. Since then I've worked across the full stack — from writing QA automation suites in Python at a healthcare organization to shipping production web apps with payment integrations, real-time dashboards, and cloud infrastructure at my current role. I've managed AWS deployments, built CI/CD pipelines, consolidated messy internal tooling into clean unified systems, and migrated large datasets without breaking anything in production. Beyond my day-to-day work, my deepest passion is applying machine learning to medical problems. I believe we're at an inflection point where AI has the genuine potential to save lives — catching what clinicians might miss, speeding up diagnoses, and making expert-level analysis accessible everywhere. I've been pursuing this hands-on, most recently building a 3D U-Net deep learning model to detect intracranial aneurysms in brain CT scans as part of the RSNA 2024 Kaggle competition. It's the kind of problem I want to keep solving — where getting it right isn't just good engineering, it actually matters to real patients. I'm a CS grad from UCF, based in Tampa, and always looking for problems worth solving.
