Vetted C Professionals

“Engineering leader and former CTO/Disney|ABC engineering manager who built white-label mobile app architecture that supported a branded app and successful exit, and later scaled Disney Channel brand app teams across iOS/Android/web and major OTT platforms. Led kid-safety architecture for DisneyNOW (“Junior mode” with PIN) and partnered with product/legal on COPPA compliance, emphasizing maintainable tech choices and strong execution processes.”

“Robotics software engineer/research lead building an off-road mobile base, owning system integration across mechanical/electrical/embedded and developing controls + motion planning deployed from simulation to hardware with ROS 2/ROS 2 Control. Has deep ROS 2 experience (NAV2, MoveIt) and built a GridMap-based off-road elevation-to-traversability mapping stack using nonlinear optimization; also tuned real robots using Vicon and developed a quadcopter geometric/PID controller.”

“ML/NLP leader with 12+ years of impact across LinkedIn, TikTok, and Levi's, building and productionizing multimodal recommendation and embedding-based search systems. Deep experience in entity resolution, vector retrieval, and rigorous evaluation, with cloud-native deployment/monitoring (MLflow, Airflow, SageMaker/Lambda, Azure ML, Kubernetes) and demonstrated double-digit relevance gains at millions-of-users scale.”

“Technology transformation leader who builds board-approved roadmaps and scales engineering orgs with strong Agile execution. Led large modernization efforts (e.g., Scottrade: 3,000 programs/4M LOC in 18 months) and scaled POCs into enterprise SaaS platforms using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform for high-concurrency workloads.”

“Robotics student who built a fully autonomous "Pacman" robot car using ROS 2, integrating LiDAR/IMU sensing with localization, autonomous driving, and a custom RRT + A* planner. Demonstrated practical embedded optimization on an RP2040 by balancing replanning frequency with safety via rapid collision checks.”

“Game UI engineer with shipped experience on Paladins (Unreal Engine 3/C++), including an in-game store with automated grid-based recommendation layout and an inventory UI built for PC/PlayStation/Xbox/Switch. Emphasizes production readiness through clean separation of UI/data, strong documentation for engineering and content workflows, and memory-conscious UI patterns (pooled entries/paged navigation) for constrained platforms like Switch.”
