Vetted Artificial Intelligence Professionals

“IT Analyst/research background with hands-on experience deploying and hardening a multi-agent AI support/triage system (ticket ingestion + knowledge-base retrieval) with strong emphasis on reliability and observability. Has debugged real production issues spanning backend services and network latency (sync failures/partial writes) and is comfortable in Linux environments; also has academic exposure to robotics simulation and ROS2.”

“Unity VR developer who improved engagement on a space-exploration KIDS VR title by tackling motion discomfort and unclear interaction flow—refactoring XR locomotion, rebuilding onboarding with a state machine, and optimizing rendering to sustain 72+ FPS on standalone headsets. Also brings Photon Fusion multiplayer experience with server-authoritative design, client-side prediction, and rollback-safe deterministic gameplay, plus strong cross-functional iteration with designers and artists.”

Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in React, Node.js, and AWS

Halifax, Canada11y exp

“Frontend engineer who led the Dash Merchant App and Backoffice platform (React/TypeScript/Redux) supporting $50M+ in monthly transactions. Focused on scalable architecture and reliability—introduced typed API layers, centralized error handling, and performance optimizations (including ~40% load-time reduction) while driving team adoption through incremental refactors, templates, and pairing.”

Senior Unity/C# Developer specializing in 3D/VR visualization and industrial automation

13y exp

“Real-time VFX artist specializing in Unity VR/mobile optimization; shipped a Doctor Strange-inspired portal effect for a standalone Meta Quest 2 project ("Projeto Multiverso UNINASSAU") using a custom vertex-offset shader and carefully managed overdraw to hit 50+ FPS. Also building sci-fi VFX (explosions, lasers, environmental effects) for an in-development game ("Star Warfare") and uses AI tools to speed iteration, debugging, and documentation.”

“Unity gameplay engineer with hands-on ownership across core game systems, multiplayer, AI/LLM integration, and cross-platform XR/mobile shipping. Particularly compelling is their combination of deep runtime optimization and systems architecture: they cut match-3 cascade frame spikes by 40-50%, eliminated a class of production race-condition bugs, and also built a local-model FastAPI-backed AI prototype with structured evaluation and cost control.”

Senior Unity/VR Developer specializing in gameplay systems and multiplayer networking

Lahore, Pakistan4y exp

“Unity developer who has built a Meta Quest 3 VR game as a solo developer, handling everything from VR setup and UI to gameplay and builds, including accessibility-focused mechanics for blind users. Also developed the full base-system module for the shipped mobile game "Death Travelers," implementing 30+ rooms with distinct economy and progression functionality (resource conversion, storage, shop).”

“Built and shipped a production Python-based agentic RAG document retrieval system over 80K records using FastAPI, OCR, vector search, and AWS infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on reliability, testing, and observability. Stands out for treating AI failures like production incidents—turning hallucinations, retrieval misses, and OCR issues into regression tests—and for quantifiably reducing document lookup time from about 12 minutes to under 90 seconds.”

Junior Game Developer specializing in gameplay systems and cross-engine development

Lenexa, KS3y exp

“Game-focused QA tester with a developer background who routinely validates builds in player-like environments (including VMs), documents test coverage rigorously, and provides high-signal bug reports with reproducible steps and video evidence. Has partnered closely with designers and engineers on issues like level-loading resource management and prioritizes defects based on player progression and immersion impact; has not shipped a AAA title.”

“Unity gameplay programmer with practical performance optimization experience (object pooling for shooting mechanics) and extensive Photon-based multiplayer work across diverse genres including shooters, sports, and board games (e.g., ludo, chess, air hockey, snakes and ladders). Uses AI tools to accelerate development, including generating and implementing multiple effects programmatically in a single day under deadline pressure.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-based appointment management agent, implementing RAG with Redis and LangGraph plus multi-agent intent handling and rule-based conflict guardrails to prevent double-booking under high load. Experienced in real-time diagnosis of agentic workflow failures using logs/traces and state inspection, and in driving adoption via interactive developer demos and sales-aligned custom customer scenarios.”

“Marketing/concert-event creative designer who leads end-to-end production of cohesive campaign looks (key art, sponsor-integrated assets, and animated promo pieces). Works fully remotely and collaborates closely with sponsors plus Sales/Concerts teams to iterate quickly while keeping work on-brand, and scales output via master files/templates across many deliverable sizes.”

“Sales development professional from SmartFinancial focused on insurance lead generation and SmartFinancial Pro software, driving the majority of pipeline through outbound multi-channel prospecting (calls/email/SMS/LinkedIn) and setting ~40 meetings per month. Helped advance an enterprise deal by diagnosing CPA/conversion issues and aligning a CEO plus multiple stakeholders, resulting in a $300K investment in leads over 3 months; targets $70K base / $100K OTE.”

“Full-stack engineer at an early-stage EdTech startup building an AI-tutoring product; owns most of a Django REST backend, CI/CD, and key customer-facing features like FERPA-compliant auth, subscription payments, and real-time LaTeX input/rendering. Also built a /rPlace-style real-time multiplayer canvas (PolyPlace) using microservices, WebSockets, and event sourcing, with performance-focused client rendering (zoom/pan/viewport-based updates) and stress testing.”
