Vetted Project Managers in California

“Hands-on engineering manager/lead focused on Azure application deployments and CI/CD automation. Has led design sessions and 1:1 code reviews, and owned a production performance incident end-to-end from measurement and test-environment setup through production validation, while coaching team members via regular 1:1s.”

“System Engineer with Panasonic Avionics and DIRECTV experience who functions as a software integration focal point, owning system-level QA from requirements and ATP verification through regression and release readiness. Brings rigorous, compliance-driven testing (FAA/ISO) plus strong RCA skills, including reproducing critical UI freezes under high memory conditions and supplying logs/memory dumps to drive engineering fixes.”

“Lead game designer/producer who shipped a Fortnite TMNT-themed rogue-like dungeon crawler, owning progression, economy, and tuning. Improved retention measurably by replacing a linear points system with an exponential economy formula, increasing playtime by ~50%, and iterated quickly via playtests (mini-boss pacing, weapon drop-rate balance). Also built UE Blueprints for FPS animation montages and state transitions to address clunky movement feedback.”

“Entrepreneur/fintech product builder who raised a $100K pre-seed from ex-Google/Microsoft execs and built a real-time, direct-to-vendor bill pay micropayments platform. Previously helped scale Norton LifeLock to 1M users (2003) and also created Karma LA, a fraud-resistant, verified donation system (including VA veteran verification) aimed at improving trust and conversion in giving.”

“Application/security-focused customer-facing implementer who has secured multi-customer data aggregation apps using per-tenant isolation, short-lived/scoped tokens, and vault-based secrets management. Troubleshoots production issues via API gateway logs and performance tuning, and runs repeatable onboarding playbooks with strong customer-specific and cross-project documentation. Emphasizes AWS least-privilege IAM and secure agent deployment patterns, plus container scanning practices that catch vulnerabilities pre-production and build developer trust.”

“CRM/lifecycle marketer with healthcare/practice-operations domain fluency who built highly targeted campaigns for a premium insurance-claims product, using customer data signals to find best-fit accounts and generating roughly $800K in incremental revenue. Experienced as a central hub coordinating sales, product, legal, design, pricing/billing, and leadership to deliver consistent messaging without overwhelming customers.”
