Vetted Founding Engineers

“Founding engineer at an early-stage agent marketplace who built the core job lifecycle, live run viewer, and LLM-based verification/settlement flow that gated escrow release. Also worked on a multi-agent diagnostic system using a blackboard architecture with specialized models, structured outputs, and human-in-the-loop review—showing unusual depth in both product engineering and applied AI systems.”

“Full-stack/AI engineer working in early-stage startups, most recently at pre-seed Kassie AI, where they built a real-time transcription engine with objection detection and rebuttal generation for telecom use cases. They also worked on Coopla, a B2B SaaS platform for cooperatives and microfinance institutions that supported over 100 million naira in transactions in six months, showing a mix of AI, backend systems, and fintech product experience.”

“Built a real-time AI meeting assistant using a Chrome extension that streams audio to a backend LLM workflow with transcription and RAG, then hardened it for production with queue-based streaming, async pipelines, security controls, and full observability. Also has hands-on startup sales experience, partnering with customers to define measurable technical win conditions (latency/accuracy) to close deals and drive adoption.”

“Startup-focused engineer who has shipped Python backend features, AI integrations, and Playwright automation for products including an AI coaching platform and hiring workflow tools. Stands out for working through ambiguous zero-spec environments, hardening flaky Firebase-authenticated test flows, and designing practical fallback paths when AI outputs are unreliable.”

“Frontend-focused engineer who built the entire UI architecture for a GenAI product as the sole founding engineer, shipping a unified experience across iOS, Android, and web. Stands out for combining cross-platform Flutter expertise with browser-level performance tuning, accessibility, and design-system thinking, including measurable wins like 45% faster load times, 94% accessibility, and dramatically faster engineer onboarding.”
