Junaid Aziz
@junaidaziz
Senior full-stack engineer building production LLM systems and RLHF evaluation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 10+ years across Node.js, TypeScript, React/Next.js, and AWS Serverless. I’m currently contracting as an AI Training Engineer on Mercor, where I evaluate frontier-model code for clients including OpenAI and Anthropic.
I build production LLM systems end to end—RAG pipelines, OpenAI and Claude orchestration, pgvector, and Function Calling—while also evaluating AI-generated code for RLHF. I focus on structured feedback writing, comparative failure mode analysis, and rigorous correctness/efficiency/security review.
Previously, at Modus Create, I led the full-stack build for Audi Business Innovation’s React operator dashboard on a Node.js/NestJS serverless backend, cutting API latency 25% and lifting throughput 60%. I also integrated OpenAI and Claude APIs into Midpage’s legal-research platform, achieving 99.9% uptime, and I’ve consistently improved reliability through CI/CD, TDD, and secure, event-driven architectures.
