Vetted Education Professionals in the Greater Detroit

“Backend engineer (4 years) who built an end-to-end Python backend for a patent-pending in-car massager/heater system, including GraphQL data modeling and Bluetooth integration with an ESP32 microcontroller (reverse engineered a niche protocol). Also has strong platform experience: on-prem Kubernetes/CI-CD (Jenkins/GitLab, exploring ArgoCD GitOps), Terraform-based infra workflows, a RabbitMQ messaging library used across microservices, and an on-prem migration of ~30 critical applications with rollback/parallel-run strategy.”

“Built and deployed a production multimodal language translation platform (text-to-text, speech-to-text, text-to-speech) using fine-tuned pretrained models (NLLB, XLSR), MLflow-orchestrated pipelines, and Docker/Kubernetes on AWS. Worked closely with non-technical linguists to tackle data cleaning and dialect variation in minority languages, improving accuracy through consistent evaluation and monitoring.”

“ML engineer with hands-on experience taking a Gaussian Process Regression-based intelligent survey timing system from build to real-world deployment, including a 3-week RCT on 120 participants and measurable improvements (15% response rate, 23% data quality). Also served as a key technical resource at CData for customer-facing demos and debugging hundreds of production issues, bridging engineering with Sales and Customer Success.”

“Master’s thesis researcher building an intelligent fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance stack for autonomous quadcopters—covering simulation-based fault injection, signal processing (Id/Iq), ML fault classification, and real-time edge deployment on Raspberry Pi with Hailo-8 acceleration. Previously delivered production C++ middleware/microservices at Accolite and has hands-on experience with constrained networking via a LoRaWAN IoT communication stack.”

“Detroit-raised AAU/travel-ball alum who later coached youth (including girls) and helped run showcases, clinics, summer leagues, and tournaments—combining on-court talent evaluation with event logistics and family/player guidance. Also produces recruiting-style basketball media (highlights/spotlights/recaps) and has created onboarding/training videos for startups supporting distributed teams.”

“Gym teacher and new hockey devotee pivoting into the sport by leveraging a strong mentor network (including ex-players and high-level connections) and producing game-film analysis for a state-championship high school program. Has hands-on experience teaching hockey basics to students and is comfortable creating promotional social content, seeking ~$50K–$70K/year.”
