Vetted Backend Development Professionals

“Unity gameplay engineer with hands-on experience building infinite procedural large-world terrain systems and solving floating-point precision problems in multiplayer scenarios where players can be widely dispersed. Has shipped/operated Photon-based multiplayer and also built custom server-authoritative networking with client-side prediction and reconciliation, including late-stage stabilization work fixing sync bugs that caused soft locks.”

“Unity/VR multiplayer developer with Photon Fusion experience who focuses on "game feel" and networking performance—profiling input/velocity to replace linear interpolation with Animation Curves, and refining camera smoothing to improve playtest feedback. Also has Unreal Engine C++ multiplayer experience with Epic Online Services and applies bandwidth-minimization strategies for smooth real-time VR under latency.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer (Cognizant) who owned a customer-facing document validation platform for onboarding/compliance and emphasized fast, reliable delivery through CI/CD automation (Jenkins/AWS) and containerized releases (Docker/Kubernetes). Also built an internal support dashboard that replaced manual log checks with real-time error visibility, significantly reducing investigation time, and has hands-on experience scaling microservices with idempotency, retries/DLQs, and distributed logging.”

“QA automation engineer with hands-on ownership of both UI and API test automation, including building an API test module from scratch to validate all Swagger-exposed endpoints with positive/negative coverage and pairwise optimization. Experienced stabilizing flaky Cypress tests through improved selectors (data-cy) and API-call synchronization, and integrating tiered test suites into GitLab CI with merge/release gates plus JUnit/HTML reporting and Slack notifications.”

“Built and shipped a production AI booking/quoting system for a Spanish-speaking cleaning business serving English-speaking customers, covering the full booking and payment flow and generating bilingual SEO/AEO content. Uses Gemini/Genkit with multi-agent orchestration (ADK/MCP, LangChain) and a production stack on Vertex AI + Cloud Run + Terraform, with analytics wired from Google Analytics to BigQuery for measurable agent performance.”

“B2B product builder with prior experience taking products from 0-1 and scaling to revenue; previously implemented e-commerce search and turned it into a monetized paid-results/bidding platform requiring architectural changes and GTM alignment. Now exploring a startup idea focused on retention and upsell for B2B companies, targeting the underserved long-tail partner segment and already validating the gap with industry leaders and POC conversations.”

“Built core perception and decision layers for a 3D AI-powered interactive avatar/agent with a robotics-like perception–reasoning–action loop, combining computer vision, NLP, and real-time response. Focused on making multimodal inputs robust (normalization, intent + emotion signal fusion) and improving real-time performance via instrumentation, profiling, and parallelization; also designed distributed, loosely coupled state-based communication and deployed services with Docker.”

“Built Meet.AI end-to-end and made concrete architecture/performance decisions (RPC with type-safe integration; SSR + query prefetching for instant data display). Also created a Python tool at Abbott to resynchronize Ansible inventories and eliminate manual intervention by scheduling it in a Jenkins pipeline; has hands-on Docker/microservices experience including serving a pretrained LLM.”

“Backend/Python engineer focused on real-time sensor/IoT analytics: built dashboards and a high-throughput ingestion pipeline (MQTT -> Python worker -> TimescaleDB) with buffering, batch inserts, and validation. Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner (Dockerized microservices, HPA, probes, ArgoCD) who has handled production incidents like CrashLoopBackOff under peak load and supported an on-prem analytics migration to AWS using shadow traffic and rollback plans.”

“Software engineer and co-founder with 0-to-1 SaaS experience who built and owned an end-to-end reporting/analytics dashboard on Next.js App Router + TypeScript, including Postgres schema design, aggregation query optimization, and post-launch performance/monitoring. Has delivered measurable React dashboard performance gains (~35% improvement in time-to-insight) and built durable, idempotent job/state-machine workflows using serverless functions and Postgres.”

“Unity engineer with experience dating back to 2011 who has taken multiple company games from prototype and architecture through delivery and years of maintenance. Built a dynamic AssetBundle system to optimize memory and loading for a high-fidelity mobile title, and delivered end-to-end multiplayer/social systems (clans/leaderboards) using Firebase (Firestore, Functions, Hosting). Also leverages AI tools to rapidly generate and integrate C# frameworks like ECS to speed up development.”

“Startup-experienced builder exploring an ambitious “internet 2.0” concept: a decentralized wireless mesh network using custom hardware nodes, with a security-first communications goal. Has thought through adoption mechanics via at-cost node distribution, usage-based crypto incentives, and an AR area-control game to drive network growth; also brings practical insight into what VCs value from working at startups including one owned by a PE firm.”
