Vetted Education Professionals

“Product-minded full-stack engineer with hospitality tech experience who owned and scaled a multi-region guest verification/check-in workflow (ID/passport scanning, OCR, and government submissions) and built internal tools that cut manual entry up to 80%. Also built a React/TypeScript + FastAPI RAG “second brain” with async ingestion workers and an event-driven e-folio email microservice hardened with idempotency and retries.”

“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.”

“Open-source-focused TypeScript/JavaScript engineer who built a lightweight Node.js utility library to standardize LLM-agent message formatting, tool invocation, and safe schema-validated JSON outputs. Emphasizes composable abstractions, real-world performance profiling/benchmarks, and strong community feedback loops (GitHub issues, structured errors, logging hooks). Also did research at Syracuse University on converting natural language into structured JSON with validation layers.”

“Junior college basketball coach and former AAU organization operator who has also run his own youth tournaments and provides player development from youth through pro levels. Deeply involved in the full pipeline—scouting via film/social, building relationships with families and college coaches, and producing highlight tapes to help athletes get recruited.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on UAV multi-agent collision avoidance, combining Behavior Trees with MPC and validating in a ROS-based simulator via PX4 hardware-in-the-loop. Has hands-on experience debugging real-time estimation/control issues (EKF noise/arming failures), building distributed ROS service architectures, and smoothing MPC trajectories to meet kinematic and FAA right-of-way constraints.”

“Basketball program leader with experience as Assistant Director of the Annual Alaska Basketball Development Program and as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Treasure Valley Community College. Strong in modern scouting infrastructure—transitioning film exchange to digital, managing video/film databases, coordinating opponent scouting, and supporting athlete development through film analysis and individualized training plans.”

“Game developer from a student-led team that shipped a Steam vertical slice (Skyguard), a 3rd-person co-op wave defense shooter. Built core gameplay systems (weapons, movement, wave progression), a UE5 Blueprint/C++ microgame framework, and a gameplay-tag-driven cue system to speed VFX/audio iteration; actively tuned balance using structured playtest feedback and fixed multiple high-impact gameplay bugs.”
