Vetted Education Professionals

“Robotics software engineer with extensive ROS2 experience building and integrating full autonomous navigation stacks (sensor fusion, ICP/occupancy-grid mapping, planning). Hands-on computer vision work for drones, including monocular depth-from-RGB pipelines (Open3D/OpenCV) and model swaps to improve low-light performance. Also experienced in multi-drone coordination with Crazyswarm2 and Vicon-based state estimation, plus Gazebo simulation for TurtleBot, Franka Emika, and a Lunabotics-style excavation rover.”

Senior Data Scientist specializing in computer vision and medical imaging

San Diego, CA4y exp

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered RAG system (PubChemRAG) for a 4D Mitospace project to compare mechanisms across a ~100-drug glossary and surface expected pathway/phenotypic differences in mitochondrial imaging. Worked closely with biochemistry and microscopy experts to design tiered evaluation benchmarks, iterating on prompts, retrieval quality (corpus hygiene, chunking strategy), and model outputs under GPU constraints using LangChain.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end VR surfing simulator in Unity/C#, integrating Arduino inputs, external tracking, and a motion platform with multisensory feedback. Deep focus on VR comfort and control stability (PD control, quaternion-based orientation, latency/jitter mitigation) validated via IMU measurements and 200+ user studies, plus some Unreal gameplay framework and replication/prediction experience.”

“Backend-focused engineer with hands-on experience modernizing a legacy SNMP/PNM data collection system at CableLabs into a cloud-accessible Kubernetes pipeline, feeding Prometheus-formatted metrics into VictoriaMetrics and visualizing real-time network health in Grafana for 100+ modems. Also built a FastAPI + Supabase appointment booking portal for a clinic with encryption and phone-number-based auth, and has frontend experience debugging S3-based HEIF image rendering issues.”

“Postdoctoral/PhD researcher focused on Alzheimer's disease who has built scalable end-to-end AI systems across pathology imaging, transcriptomics, and longitudinal neuroimaging. Particularly strong in turning novel research ideas into robust Python pipelines on GPU/HPC infrastructure, with pathologist-facing impact and scientifically novel findings such as image-derived disease severity trajectories and subtype discovery.”

Executive engineering leader specializing in platform engineering, AI systems, and SaaS

Detroit, MI24y exp

“Senior engineering executive who has repeatedly rebuilt and scaled product engineering organizations in high-growth environments, including restarting Rocket Auto’s stack from scratch and hiring 100+ engineers during StockX’s hypergrowth phase. Particularly differentiated by being unusually hands-on for an executive leader, with active open source work and a strong focus on AI-native engineering workflows, developer automation, and modern architecture transformation.”

“University robotics researcher graduating May 2026 who integrated an Intel RealSense D435i onto a TurtleBot3 (Jetson Nano) and built a ROS 2 node + OpenCV pipeline to feed color-based cues into navigation/path planning for RL grid-world experiments. Has hands-on ROS 2 experience spanning Gazebo simulation, Nav2, ros2_control, multi-robot namespacing, and ROS1-to-ROS2 bridging, plus CI/CD exposure (GitLab CI, Jenkins) from internships including aircraft navigation work.”

“Robotics software/perception engineer with production AMR experience at Symbotic, building a real-time SKU case re-identification pipeline used in high-volume Walmart/Target warehouse operations. Strong in ROS2 + Docker deployments on Jetson (TensorRT quantization) and system-level performance debugging, including cutting inference latency from ~13s to ~2s through architecture changes. Also has lab experience integrating SLAM/MPPI/behavior trees for rule-compliant navigation and distributed perception-to-UR5e manipulation systems (MoveIt/ros_control) with multi-camera sensing and 3D reconstruction.”
