Executive CTO specializing in AI, data platforms, and distributed systems

Chicago, IL20y exp

“Former CTO of Mesh Systems for 20 years, now going all-in on building a physical AI product company. He is simultaneously designing four products across eldercare, smart home monitoring, retail theft prevention, and AI-powered building access, with active industry partnerships (Advantech, Compulab) and a potential LATAM pharmacy pilot.”

“AI Software Engineer (student employee) at University of Washington IT who helped deploy "Purple," a governed, explainable LLM platform on Azure used by 100,000+ students/faculty/staff. Independently led scalable reliability efforts by building automated agent quality/load/red-team testing and CI/CD health validation (Playwright/Node.js, Azure DevOps), and previously built an explainable AI scheduling assistant for clinical operations at Proliance Surgeons.”

Executive Technology & Product Leader specializing in games, platforms, and real-time systems

23y exp

“Engineering leader with gaming and fintech/trading-firm experience who built a sponsor-funded gaming rewards platform (AmEx-style) requiring integrations across Steam/Epic/Xbox/PlayStation and Discord. Emphasizes production-grade, 12-factor delivery with Terraform/Docker/CI/CD and automated testing, plus pragmatic org scaling and remote-team culture built on aligned autonomy and trust.”

“Software engineer with 2 years of professional full-stack experience plus a CS master's journey in the US, who has since focused heavily on building hackathon-winning AI systems. Stands out for combining production-minded backend architecture, TypeScript-heavy reliability work, and multi-agent LLM applications spanning physical security and insurance claims automation.”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned an end-to-end financial data ingestion and validation system (Python/Django/FastAPI, Postgres, AWS), including large-file performance tuning, auditability, and CI/CD. Strong Kubernetes/EKS + ArgoCD GitOps practitioner and has delivered both Kafka-based real-time transaction streaming and a legacy on-prem stack migration to AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager) with controlled cutovers and data consistency validation.”

“Serverless-focused engineer (5+ years) who has built and deployed AWS Lambda/API Gateway backends with CloudFormation-based IaC and Jenkins-driven CI/CD across dev/staging/prod. Has experience with AWS Glue/OpenSearch data pipelines and emphasizes data correctness via Golden Data automated tests; also modernized a regulated .NET account-confirmation workflow by eliminating an unreliable SMTP email dependency. Based in San Jose, seeking primarily remote work with quarterly travel to Bethesda, MD and targeting $200k base.”

“Backend Python engineer focused on production-grade automation and reliability, with hands-on experience designing scalable API systems on PostgreSQL and making pragmatic architecture calls (modular monolith over premature microservices). Demonstrated measurable performance wins (50–60% latency reduction) and strong operational rigor via observability, incremental rollouts/feature flags, and security patterns like JWT + RBAC + database row-level security.”

“Backend-heavy engineer with deep experience building enterprise and real-time systems across healthcare, operations monitoring, e-commerce, and 911 call center domains. He has led and personally coded greenfield and customer-facing platforms, including cloud/on-prem integrations, custom workflow tooling, and microservices architectures, while now independently upskilling into modern TypeScript/React-based frontend technologies.”

“University Rover Competition autonomous-systems lead who architects and debugs a full ROS 2 autonomy stack (Nav2, vSLAM, EKF fusion) and backs it with strong engineering hygiene (Docker + GitHub Actions CI running headless Gazebo and colcon tests). Also has industry-facing ROS 2 hardware integration experience, building a ros2_control plugin for a Unitree G1 arm using CycloneDDS and optimizing real-time behavior via QoS tuning.”

“Frontend engineer experienced delivering React + TypeScript dashboards end-to-end, including real-time updates via WebSockets and scalable component architecture. Has improved inherited codebases by building shared component libraries and performance optimizations (lazy loading/memoization), reporting ~20% faster feature delivery, and ships major features with QA rigor and feature-flagged rollouts driven by analytics and user feedback.”

“Backend Python engineer who built core services for a telecom automation engine monitoring thousands of routers in real time and auto-generating support tickets. As the sole Intelygenz engineer on the project, they diagnosed a costly Terraform/GitLab CI/CD resource-leak issue in AWS and implemented a cleanup redesign that eliminated orphaned resources and reduced client cloud spend. Also shipped applied-AI ticket triage suggestions via API integration and built an end-to-end Gmail-to-ticket ingestion workflow.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS 2 experience across drones, mobile robots, and manipulators. Built an end-to-end visual SLAM + navigation stack on a real robot using RTAB-Map, and implemented ROS 2-based coordination between a mobile robot and manipulator for camera-triggered object pickup. Optimizes real-time behavior by moving performance-critical code to C++ and deploying TensorRT-compressed models.”
