Director-level Brand Strategist and Creative Producer specializing in media and entertainment

Brooklyn, NY8y exp

“Startup operator from a fast-scaling media company who grew from associate to building and scaling the brand solutions team while working closely with founders. Brings a rare mix of client leadership, team building, and operating design, including helping restructure the company from department-based teams into cross-functional silos and crafting accessible messaging for a Web3 marketplace client.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on ROS 2 multi-robot coordination, having built task allocation and reliable inter-robot communication for simulated TurtleBot3 fleets. Demonstrates strong integration/debugging skills across Nav2 + gmapping (SLAM drift, TF tree, odometry/sensor fusion) and pairs it with production-minded tooling—Docker/Kubernetes deployments and CI/CD simulation testing via GitHub Actions.”

“Computer-vision engineer with hands-on experience designing UAV-based production imaging systems for object detection/tracking, including camera selection and resolution/zoom tradeoffs. Improved segmentation/measurement accuracy by implementing orthorectification using ground points plus intrinsic/extrinsic calibration to correct perspective distortion, and has built Python/OpenCV pipelines (including barcode-focused grayscale processing and multithreaded execution).”

Isha Harne

Intern Software Engineer specializing in ML applications and LLM platform engineering

New York, NY1y exp

“Full-stack engineer who builds and scales customer-facing and internal AI products end-to-end (React/TypeScript/FastAPI/MongoDB) with strong product instrumentation and rapid MVP iteration. Built an AI-powered code review assistant adopted across teams and integrated into CI/CD, reducing manual review time by 30%+, and has hands-on experience with LLM retrieval/reasoning systems (LangChain + FAISS) and microservices scaling using RabbitMQ, Docker, and AWS.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of a production expense management platform built on Next.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. Stands out for solving real production scale issues—optimizing 2M+ record query performance, redesigning cross-database sync with an outbox/event-driven approach, and cutting API latency from 2-3 seconds to under 300 ms.”

Comfortable scouting talent in person and via social media, with a recruiting lens focused on intangibles and team fit, and creates side-by-side video breakdowns connecting skill work to in-game results.”

“Robotics software engineer who led an energy-aware persistent monitoring project on TurtleBot4/ROS2, building the full stack from simulation and motion control to an energy consumption model and control algorithm implementation. Developed custom ROS2 Python nodes (battery + cmd_vel logging), integrated with Nav2, and handled multi-robot coordination via DDS while troubleshooting network/QoS issues. Also built and tuned a human-aware navigation behavior using Gazebo-based testing and data-driven threshold optimization.”

“Longtime operator who spent 12 years helping build a NYC hair care brand from a tiny manual operation into a broader wholesale and hospitality business with distribution across the US, EU, UK, and China. Currently serves as COO and sole employee of the brand while also acting as Director of Operations for a sister salon business, owning everything from product development and fulfillment to HR, payroll, and Shopify operations.”

“Analytics-focused candidate with hands-on project experience in SQL data preparation and Python-based churn modeling. They demonstrated a practical approach to turning messy multi-source data into reporting tables, validating data quality rigorously, and translating churn insights into targeted retention strategies.”

“Master’s capstone at Stevens: conceptualized and helped build a cross-platform assistive mobile app for visually impaired users with currency detection (ML), voice-driven AI chatbot (OpenRouter), and a guided navigation video-call feature using a shared room code. Personally implemented Firebase login/sign-in, facial-recognition login, video calling, chatbot integration, and led integration/testing across the full app.”
