Recruiter's Note

Gildardo is your strongest Django-first match. Four consecutive full-stack roles all centered on Django + DRF, with hands-on React Native on every project. He has the exact stack you need: scalable REST APIs, PostgreSQL optimization, and AWS deployment. His track record in fully remote teams, owning features end-to-end, maps directly to how Wingz operates. At $4K/mo he sits at the top of your budget but brings the deepest technical alignment of the three.

$3,000/mo · Full-time · EST hours
Resume Intro Video
Recruiter's Note

Fernando brings the most seniority (8 years) and the strongest mobile pedigree of the batch. Enterprise clients through Globant (Backcountry, Banco de Chile) and Samsung give him exposure to SOC security standards and large-scale apps. His Django experience is lighter than the other two, but he has real backend production work at Urbano Express and Telefonica. He also brings native module depth (Swift, Kotlin) that the others don't. Best fit if you need someone who can lead on the mobile side and contribute to the backend. At $3K/mo, he's the most cost-effective option.

Resume Intro Video
Recruiter's Note

Edgard is the most well-rounded engineer in this batch. His Django + DRF work at IMP Sistemas handles thousands of daily transactions, and he has direct experience building booking flows in React Native, which is close to what Wingz needs. The measurable wins speak for themselves: 40% faster API response times, 30% fewer mobile issues, and 80%+ test coverage. His DevOps and observability stack (Terraform, Sentry, Datadog, Grafana) means he can own reliability, not just features. At $3.7K/mo, strong value for the depth he brings.

Why Juan C
  • Most senior engineer in the batch: 12+ years spanning Python (9yr), Java (12yr), Kotlin, Go, and JavaScript across leadership roles
  • Proven team lead who has migrated monoliths to microservices at scale, including a PHP-to-NX migration with 11 microservices, web app, and React Native mobile app
  • Deep AI/ML experience: GPU-accelerated semantic search, LangChain, Claude AI integration, and RAG pipeline development in production
  • Migrated React Native to native Kotlin for 100,000 users and PHP API to Python/FastAPI for 80,000 daily users at Devsu
  • Strong DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS (AppSync, CloudFront, Lambda, EC2, S3), CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure management
$4,000/mo · Full-time · EST hours
Resume Intro Video
Recruiter's Note

Juan C is the standout of Batch 2. With 12+ years of experience and four consecutive team lead roles, he brings both technical depth and leadership maturity. His migration track record is exactly what Wingz needs: he has taken monoliths to microservices multiple times (PHP to NX, React Native to native Kotlin, PHP to FastAPI). His AI/ML skills (LangChain, Claude, GPU-accelerated search) add a forward-looking edge. At $4K/mo for a senior tech lead with this range, he is strong value. English C1.

David O

Agência M2BR
Apr 2019 - Apr 2022
Full Stack Developer
Code Farm
Dec 2017 - Jun 2019
Why David O
  • The closest stack match in this batch: 3+ years building Django + DRF backends with React Native mobile at Zco Corporation, a US company
  • Deep PostgreSQL expertise: schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning across all three roles
  • Direct experience with real-time transactional workflows, authentication systems, and third-party API integrations through REST and webhooks
  • Strong analytics background from M2BR: built high-volume data platforms, automated data pipelines, and reporting dashboards
  • Production e-commerce experience at Code Farm: payment gateways, order processing, and logistics integrations
$4,000/mo · Full-time · EST hours
Resume Intro Video
Recruiter's Note

David O is the tightest Django + DRF + React Native alignment in this batch. His current role at Zco Corporation (3+ years, US company, remote) mirrors exactly how he would work at Wingz: building Django APIs consumed by React Native mobile apps. His PostgreSQL optimization runs deep across every role. The analytics engineering background at M2BR adds a data-pipeline dimension the other candidates lack. His e-commerce experience (payment gateways, order flows) maps well to the NEMT booking and transaction model. Math + CS degree from a top Brazilian university. At $4K/mo, same rate as Juan C but with tighter Django+DRF alignment.

Jesús A
Mexico
6 years experience
B.Sc. Computer Science
Python Django (DRF) FastAPI .NET Core React Node.js Kafka gRPC AWS GCP Kubernetes Terraform
Key Experience
Sr. Software Engineer

Aug 2025 - Mar 2026
Full Stack Developer
Wizeline
Jan 2023 - May 2025
Web Developer
Runa
Jan 2020 - Nov 2022
Why Jesús A
  • Bilingual (English and Spanish) with deep experience at top-tier Mexican tech companies: Softtek, Wizeline, and Runa
  • Production Django (DRF) and FastAPI experience building high-concurrency APIs consumed by React frontends and mobile apps
  • Built a real-time stream processing service at Wizeline that increased accepted rides by 5%, directly relevant to Wingz's NEMT ride model
  • Advanced infrastructure skills: Kubernetes, Terraform, event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)
  • AI systems builder: deployed production RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop AI at Softtek using OpenAI and Claude
$3,500/mo · Full-time · EST hours
Resume Intro Video
Recruiter's Note

Jesús A brings the most sophisticated backend architecture skills of this batch. His Wizeline work on a real-time ride-matching service (stream processing, dynamic pricing, 5% lift in accepted rides) is the closest domain match to Wingz's NEMT platform. He is fully bilingual, has worked at three respected companies (Softtek, Wizeline, Runa), and his infrastructure depth (Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, Prometheus/Grafana) means he can own both features and reliability. At $3.5K/mo he is the best value-for-depth option in Batch 2. The one trade-off: his React Native experience is lighter than the others, though his React frontend work is strong.

  • Deep Django specialization: designed and optimized PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and queries across every role, with PyTest-driven testing practices
  • Hands-on React Native mobile development for iOS and Android at Predictably, plus Flutter experience for additional mobile depth
  • AWS infrastructure experience (EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, API Gateway, CloudWatch) with Docker and Terraform for infrastructure-as-code
  • Reduced API latency by 25% at Arazas through backend optimization, demonstrating measurable performance impact
$4,000/mo · Full-time · EST hours
Resume Intro Video
Recruiter's Note

Nicolas B is the most stable and specialized Django engineer in this batch. Seven years at a single company (Predictably) building Django + DRF SaaS platforms is rare and signals reliability, deep ownership, and institutional knowledge. His PostgreSQL work is consistent across every role. The React Native mobile experience at Predictably, combined with Flutter skills, gives him solid cross-platform coverage. CS degree from the University of Tokyo adds academic rigor. His profile is the safest pick for someone who will integrate quickly and deliver consistently on Django + React Native work. At $4K/mo, you are paying for proven stability and deep Django specialization.
