Vetted Engineering Professionals in the Austin Metro

“LLM/agentic systems practitioner who specializes in moving customer prototypes into production within microservices environments, emphasizing reliability, latency, security, and measurable success metrics. Experienced in real-time troubleshooting using logs/traces and in enabling adoption through hands-on developer workshops (including live coding in Java Spring Boot) and pre-sales POCs that address technical objections and integration risk.”

“QA/automation engineer with experience at Riot Games’ player platform, owning E2E automation for mission-critical authentication/account flows using Playwright/JavaScript plus API automation. Built CI merge gates and nightly verification with Slack reporting, and repeatedly caught backend-driven session/authorization regressions before production. Known for stabilizing flaky UI tests via selector strategy and network intercepts, and for influencing design early with testability hooks and telemetry.”

“Interned at Zonda where he built an AI-driven semantic search solution over ~280M housing/builder records. Iterated from local LLMs via llama.cpp quantization to a vector-embedding retrieval system, then boosted semantic accuracy with a custom spaCy NER layer and re-ranking, optimizing for latency through precomputation. Collaborated with economics-focused stakeholders to reduce manual document/paperwork time by enabling natural-language search over internal data.”

“Unreal Engine (UE5) gameplay engineer who built large-scale open-world RPG systems end-to-end, including world streaming, AI ecosystems, and networked combat. Strong multiplayer focus: used Unreal Insights/custom profilers to identify replication/physics bottlenecks and delivered >40% frame stability improvement via relevancy checks and proxy-physics strategies, plus deterministic fixed-step simulation with rollback/state correction.”

“Platform-focused engineer/technical program leader working in silicon/wafer validation environments, with hands-on experience securing access to sensitive test results and engineering tooling. Has implemented RBAC/least-privilege controls with Azure Entra ID, Key Vault, PAM and integrated Checkmarx into dev workflows, while also deploying ML services on AKS using Bicep/Helm/Docker and Azure DevOps CI/CD with strong monitoring and incident response practices.”

“Software engineer with strong end-to-end ownership across frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure, including real-time systems (Kafka/Postgres) and observability (Datadog). Built and productionized an AI-native RAG support assistant (OpenAI embeddings + Pinecone) with prompt/guardrail design, achieving 48% agent adoption and 30% faster responses. Experienced in legacy modernization and reliability work using feature flags, event/transaction replay, and rapid embedded delivery.”
