Vetted Research Assistants in New York

“AAA game QA professional from Ubisoft (For Honor) with deep live-service multiplayer experience. Known for owning network/competitive integrity risks and building a custom network simulation tool to reliably reproduce desync issues, accelerating debugging and saving 100+ hours. Strong end-to-end QA process skills spanning test planning, triage, regression, and release verification using JIRA/TestRail.”

“MS candidate with strong backend/data engineering focus who builds research and data systems with production-grade rigor (reproducibility, observability, restartability). Has hands-on experience securing and scaling FastAPI-based gateways in front of Java microservices, leading SQL Server→Snowflake migrations with dual-write/feature-flag rollouts, and hardening Kafka-based fleet-tracking systems against out-of-order and duplicate events.”

“Robotics/perception engineer focused on production-grade, real-time systems—optimized self-supervised segmentation on Jetson Nano from ~6–10 FPS to ~20–25 FPS and scaled experimentation/deployment by unifying 15+ edge models in a modular PyTorch Lightning framework. Experienced integrating distributed LiDAR-camera fusion via gRPC/protobuf into mission planning, migrating ROS1→ROS2 Foxy for multi-drone perception, and adding Prometheus-based observability for long-running deployments.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS2 experience building perception-driven navigation for AMRs, integrating YOLO11 + Depth Anything V2 and multi-sensor fusion (LiDAR/RGB-D/IMU) to boost pose accuracy by 30%. Strong in real-time debugging and edge deployment on NVIDIA Jetson (ONNX/CUDA), plus cloud-enabled telemetry (Azure) and simulation-driven testing (Isaac Sim) that cut physical test cycles by 25%.”

“Robotics/perception engineer who led and owned ARC, a cooperative perception system for autonomous vehicles that aligns and fuses multi-vehicle LiDAR point clouds in real time. Built a ROS-based multi-node pipeline with grid-based spatial reasoning and motion-compensated data sharing, achieving <20 ms compute latency and sub-7 cm alignment error; accepted to ACM SenSys 2026.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on ROS 2 multi-robot coordination, having built task allocation and reliable inter-robot communication for simulated TurtleBot3 fleets. Demonstrates strong integration/debugging skills across Nav2 + gmapping (SLAM drift, TF tree, odometry/sensor fusion) and pairs it with production-minded tooling—Docker/Kubernetes deployments and CI/CD simulation testing via GitHub Actions.”

“Performance-focused paid social creative lead with deep Meta experience in DTC/eCommerce for a bridal brand, owning strategy, briefs, testing, and QA while delegating production. Known for rapid iteration (8–12 variants/week) and measurable lifts (2.8 ROAS; CPA down 25%+), plus strong UGC direction and landing-page alignment that materially improves conversion.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned production TypeScript systems in both fintech-style transaction/rewards flows and HIPAA-regulated healthcare platforms. Deep focus on correctness and reliability (idempotency, retries/DLQs, reconciliation, observability) plus strong infra automation (Docker/Terraform/CI-CD) and measurable performance wins (40% query improvement, 90% test coverage).”

“Robotics/ML engineer who benchmarks and adapts open-source robot action models, building synthetic datasets in Isaac Sim and modifying vendor code to scale training across multiple GPUs. Also built a production-style computer vision pipeline at Zortag—training a tiny YOLO-based classifier for fake-vs-real label detection and deploying it in a real-time iOS app with additional display/spoof detection.”
