“Global operations/program leader from PSI who ran concurrent transformation initiatives across US/APAC/EMEA—AI-driven proctoring automation, vendor consolidation, and BI/exec dashboards—while overseeing delivery of millions of exams in 120+ countries. Known for KPI-based governance (RACI, steering cadences, shared dashboards) that drove measurable outcomes: +20% throughput, $5M annual cost reduction, and 30% reduction in executive meeting load with faster decision cycles.”

“Unreal Engine (UE5) gameplay engineer who built large-scale open-world RPG systems end-to-end, including world streaming, AI ecosystems, and networked combat. Strong multiplayer focus: used Unreal Insights/custom profilers to identify replication/physics bottlenecks and delivered >40% frame stability improvement via relevancy checks and proxy-physics strategies, plus deterministic fixed-step simulation with rollback/state correction.”

“Music editor/mixer specializing in narrative longform and YouTube-focused audio post, with documented experience shaping a 2018 documentary on Syriac chant traditions through chant-based drones, dynamic builds, and tightly timed musical phrasing. Works in Pro Tools with a template- and stems-based workflow, and uses retention data plus producer notes to iteratively improve pacing and engagement.”

“Built and shipped production LLM/AI agent systems including an NL-to-SQL query agent with semantic search and Redis-based caching, using schema-aware prompting and threshold validation to reduce hallucinations. Has orchestration experience running ML microservices on Kubernetes and automating event-driven insurance (P&C) workflows (claims/policy + fraud checks), reporting ~60% manual overhead reduction and ~99% uptime, with strong monitoring/drift-detection and business-facing Power BI reporting.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS2 autonomy experience across F1TENTH and Turtlebot platforms, building planning/control behaviors (Pure Pursuit, Follow-the-Gap, emergency braking, PID wall following) and validating in Gazebo/RViz. Also integrated a custom curvature-based speed planning node into Autoware (with AWSIM), demonstrating practical autonomy stack integration and strong debugging of LiDAR pipelines.”

“Development manager focused on developer productivity and platform enablement in a polyglot microservices environment. Drove ~50% productivity gains by evaluating and rolling out AI coding copilots with team training and cross-team demos, and designed a Disaster Recovery framework adopted by 50+ microservice teams. Also led edge-focused Python runtime optimization and relies on heavy test automation to safely execute large refactors during major platform upgrades.”

“Operations leader who helped scale Kaseya from ~500 to ~5,000 employees, building and scaling core back-office teams (procurement, risk, corp ops, supply chain) with repeatable operating models and cadences. Combines hands-on "walk the floor" observation with financial analysis (e.g., inventory/balance sheet) to drive scalable efficiency improvements, including evaluating RPA and moving work to a lower-cost location (Costa Rica).”

“Backend/DevOps-focused engineer with healthcare and financial systems experience, including an ICU readmission risk platform delivering real-time ML scores via a secure FastAPI service (PyTorch model serving, PostgreSQL, Celery/Redis) deployed on AWS with strong observability.
