Vetted Education Professionals

“Community Liaison for the Seminole Tribe of Florida who supports student-athletes and has deep hands-on experience running youth sports events (tournament director, referee, scorekeeper, facility ops). Uses a deliberate scouting process that blends social media research with in-person evaluation of both performance and character, and has successfully signed/represented a local athlete and helped get them placed on a TBL team.”

“XR professional with 9 years in the industry and 3 years using Unity; built a solo Unity city-building/resource management game (BLEAK) inspired by Anno in a dystopian cyberpunk setting. Has shipped web-based XR experiences (not Unity headset titles) and emphasizes pragmatic scope control and production adaptability, honed further during time at Zappar.”

“Hockey coach with 20+ years across AAA, ACHA, and USA Hockey Tier 2 leadership, leveraging a broad network (youth through minor pro) to place and advance players. Emphasizes development of off-the-puck play, positioning, and decision-making, with examples of moving an AAA player to NAHL (ultimately pro) and developing a team that produced multiple junior and ACHA players.”

“Robotics software engineer with experience spanning safety-critical embedded medical hardware (low-cost neonatal baby warmer with PID temperature regulation) and advanced multi-robot planning research (belief-space planning with abstraction + MCTS to handle uncertainty). Strong ROS/ROS2 practitioner (Nav2/SLAM Toolbox/MoveIt) who builds custom packages (e.g., Insta360 panoramic imaging) and is hands-on debugging real robots from SLAM/frontier exploration to multi-robot collision avoidance and real-time performance.”

“Backend engineer with deep Kafka/FastAPI microservices experience who redesigned a notification pipeline to cut end-to-end latency from ~5s to ~3s (including custom partition assignment and consumer tuning). Led a high-stakes ClickUp-to-Oracle migration of 1M+ records using idempotent ETL, reconciliation, and shadow deployment to achieve >99% integrity with zero downtime, and has hands-on production security implementation with Django/DRF (JWT + RBAC).”

“Canadian AAA hockey player turned NCAA Division I baseball scholarship athlete (University of Dayton) who also gained exposure to the sports agent world through MLB interest and working with an agent. Now based in Pittsburgh with strong Ontario and Pittsburgh hockey networks, combining recruiting insight, team-captain leadership, and social-media education to support players and families through hockey pathways.”

“Music producer and multi-instrumentalist using Ableton and Logic who created a festive Christmas medley music video (shot/edited in an apartment using iMovie) spanning DnB, jazz, and EDM with distinct visual setups and custom musical transitions.

Has hands-on scouting experience both in person and via social platforms, plus video editing/content creation skills and comfort being on camera to educate families about the recruiting process.”

“Robotics/embedded developer with hands-on ROS 2 and micro-ROS experience on ESP32, building a remote-controlled high-power LED system. Worked across power distribution (buck-boost constant 30V), sensor calibration with real-time data checks, and long-range WiFi connectivity using an omnidirectional antenna achieving 100m+ coverage.”

“Built AI-EDU, an AI/LLM-powered learning platform created for a Technology Entrepreneurship class that predicts student engagement and generates personalized learning insights. Emphasizes strong data preprocessing/feature engineering on noisy student data, and has experience operationalizing workflows with basic Airflow/Prefect plus reliability practices (edge-case testing, metrics, logging, guardrails) and stakeholder-friendly dashboards/summaries.”
