Vetted Education Professionals in Michigan

“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.”

“Robotics software engineer with Samsung Research America internship experience as primary developer on a real-time dense mapping system producing point clouds, plus a monocular depth-estimation framework using positional data. Hands-on ROS 2 and CAN integration from a University of Michigan autonomous shuttle project, and practical SLAM/motion-planning experience including handling the kidnapped robot problem and Dockerizing ORB-SLAM3 environments.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience building a dual-arm (Kawasaki duAro) Cranfield assembly task-planning and motion-planning stack in ROS/MoveIt, using PDDL + behavior trees and OMPL for collision-free execution. Improved tight-tolerance insertions by integrating RGB-D visual servoing into the task planner loop, and also built an LLM-driven navigation pipeline with ORBSLAM3 for natural-language command parsing and real-time replanning.”

“Autonomous marine surface algorithms engineer at CURLY contributing across the full autonomy stack in ROS 2 (C++/Python), from GNSS-IMU InEKF localization (100 Hz) and GTSAM object-level SLAM to semantic mapping and A*/Lie-group MPC planning/control. Strong focus on real-time optimization for constrained embedded hardware, with disciplined debugging/validation using ros2_tracing, rosbag2 replay, and Gazebo, and reproducible deployment via Docker/CI.”

“Product/UX designer with large-scale consumer and omnichannel experience across Nykaa and Swiggy (100M+ users), combining deep research with high-polish UI and scalable design systems. Demonstrated measurable business impact across ops efficiency (1500 hrs/year saved), app quality (4.3→4.8 rating), and e-commerce conversion (48% uplift), and has owned a growth pod while collaborating closely with UA/growth and engineering.”

“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.”
