Junior Game Developer specializing in Unity, VR/AR, and AI-driven gameplay

Arlington, VA3y exp

“Unity gameplay engineer with distinctive experience building AI-native game systems, including the backend NPC interaction architecture for AI2U, a generative AI escape room game. They combine Unity/C# gameplay engineering with backend API integration, prompt-driven NPC behavior design, and production-minded resilience for latency and server issues, plus shipped Android AR work using Vuforia.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of a customer-facing advanced performance metrics experience in the Amazon S3 console, spanning React UI, Python/Node services, Redshift/RDS data access, and AWS IaC/CI-CD with CloudWatch/Route53 operational readiness. Demonstrates strong production instincts around resilience (partial failures, multi-region inconsistencies), progressive rollouts/feature flags, and reliable ETL/integration patterns (idempotency, backfills, reconciliation).”

“Software Design Lead on a NAVAIR-sponsored senior design capstone building an Unreal Engine 5 UAV/LiDAR simulation to support sensor spoofing detection. Reverse-engineered and standardized LiDAR packet formats and integrated the sim with Simulink and an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano over Ethernet to enable stable real-time SIL/HIL testing, leveraging strong Linux/kernel networking knowledge to debug latency and packet loss.”

“Robotics software engineer who led localization/SLAM work on an autonomous indoor security drone operating in a pre-mapped environment. Implemented a robust localization strategy combining visual PnP loop closures with point-cloud ICP to mitigate issues like visual map aging, and uses ROS tooling (rosbag/TF/RViz) plus Gazebo and Docker for repeatable debugging, simulation, and development.”

Director-level Cybersecurity Architect specializing in cloud security, threat detection and incident response

Reston, VA18y exp

“Entrepreneur building an AI-enabled platform to help tradespeople (e.g., plumbers/carpenters) find customers, currently moving from ideation toward MVP and user launch. Previously founded Votimo (2012), an early philanthropy/donation-transparency platform, raised ~ $2M in angel funding, and implemented the system before strategic drift from leadership/vision changes.”

Mid-level Full-Stack & AI Engineer specializing in cloud and intelligent systems

Ashburn, VA8y exp

“Builder with experience across government contracting, engineering automation, and solo AI product development. They architected a serverless AWS pipeline that converted unstructured BIM data into IFC 3D models, built an enterprise internal-data chatbot with auditability and guardrails at Steampunk, and independently launched an AI study platform using Claude. Strong fit for early-stage or ambiguous environments where end-to-end ownership and practical AI systems matter.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps-focused engineer working across Linux-based enterprise platforms that include IBM Power/AIX in a broader OpenShift/Kubernetes and cloud ecosystem. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD for containerized deployments and resolved a production deployment failure by tracing ImagePullBackOff to outdated registry credentials in Kubernetes secrets. Uses Terraform (with modular structure) plus Ansible to provision and standardize production environments with pipeline-based validation.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across FastAPI/PostgreSQL APIs and AWS (Lambda, ECS) delivered via Terraform + GitHub Actions. Built Glue-based ETL pipelines into Redshift with schema evolution and data quality checks, modernized legacy reporting into Python microservices, and has demonstrated measurable SQL performance wins (multi-second query reduced to sub-300ms).”

“Cloud-focused engineer experienced deploying and stabilizing complex production systems that span APIs, infrastructure, and automated workflows, with a strong observability and safe-release mindset (feature flags/canaries/rollbacks). Has hands-on, customer-facing incident leadership, including executing DR regional failover during an AWS us-east-1 outage to maintain service and reportedly save a client ~$10M.”
