“Customer-facing technical professional with experience spanning engineering and product who advises on application security tradeoffs (threat modeling, API/auth risks, SOC2 mapping) and drives pragmatic remediation plans. Hands-on with Kubernetes/CI-CD agent integrations, secrets management, and log-driven troubleshooting; documented and escalated complex customer environment issues and reported a 40% reduction in bug reporting through workflow automation.”

“UE5 gameplay scripter/system designer with shipped experience on Killing Floor 3, owning Blueprint-driven destruction/physics props and trap features end-to-end, including replication, performance optimization, and QA workflows. Also built a one-click light auto-generation tool on Maneater that reportedly saved the lighting team hundreds of hours, and uses fast test-map prototyping to validate mechanics (e.g., movement systems on Salem).”

“Has worked at a startup within an incubator program and is a certified mentor with a startup mentorship non-profit focused on early-stage/pre-funded companies. Not currently seeking to found a company or take equity-only roles, but open to working at very early-stage companies (pre-launch/pre-revenue/pre-funded).”

“Sales candidate with 35 years of experience who expressed interest in AI and shared a resume link and LinkedIn profile, but did not provide any concrete deal examples or details about outbound prospecting or recent closes during the screen.”
