Vetted Collaboration Professionals

“Unity/Meta Quest programmer with 2 years of experience shipping two award-winning VR games (Spatial Ops and Twenty Guys) now live on the Meta Store with 4.8+ ratings. Contributed major gameplay/tech systems including co-location, an in-game map editor, and active ragdoll/physics interactions, and has also built Unity apps largely solo spanning rendering, shaders, serialization, VFX, and async/state management.”

“AI/LLM practitioner who has deployed production chatbots across e-commerce, HRMS, and real estate, focusing on retrieval-first workflows for factual tasks like product and property search. Optimized intent understanding and significantly improved latency by using lightweight embeddings and tuning the inference pipeline on Groq (Llama 3.3), while applying modular orchestration and measurable production evaluation.”

“Unity VR developer with long-standing experience shipping on the Oculus/Meta Quest ecosystem (dating back to before the Facebook acquisition). Recently drove a high-stakes OpenXR migration for a live service app using release branches, QA, feature flags, and staged rollouts. On Border Bots VR, owned the robot character editor and major performance work, including a manual scene optimizer to reduce overdraw and enable higher-fidelity set pieces.”

“Backend engineer who owned and shipped a campaign analytics API (FastAPI/Postgres/Redis/Celery) with ingestion from Instagram/YouTube, JWT auth, tests, and Docker deployment; improved performance from >1s to <150ms using precomputed aggregates and composite indexes. Experienced with Kubernetes GitOps using GitHub Actions + ArgoCD (zero-downtime rollouts, one-click rollbacks), Prometheus/Grafana observability, hybrid cloud-to-on-prem migrations, and real-time notification streaming via Redis Pub/Sub + WebSockets.”

“Candidate is actively exploring AI-driven development and modern coding assistants like Claude AI, Cursor, Gemini, and other LLM-based tools. While they have not yet led AI-agent projects or used multi-agent systems in production, they are proactively building knowledge through AI coursework and the Microsoft AI Engineering specialization.”

“Pro Tools–certified music supervisor/editor and sound designer (10+ years) who shapes narrative and pacing through structural music edits, stem-based rearrangement, and retention-driven YouTube mixing techniques (dynamic EQ/sidechaining/automation). Has led global audio teams in fast-turnaround environments and handles end-to-end audio including music licensing, SFX/foley, and platform-specific loudness compliance.”

“Cloud/SRE-style engineer at TDS supporting revenue-critical transportation SaaS platforms on AWS/GCP with Kubernetes. Has hands-on experience leading high-impact production work including DDoS mitigation, zero-downtime MSSQL→PostgreSQL migration using CDC, and building secure GitHub Actions + ArgoCD delivery pipelines and Terraform-based GKE infrastructure.”

“Data science/AI intern at University at Buffalo Business Services who built and deployed production systems spanning classic ML and LLM assistants. Delivered real-time competitor intelligence for a Cornell-partnered, $1B beverage launch by scraping/cleaning 5,000+ SKUs and deploying models via API, then built a domain-aware LLM assistant to modernize Excel-based workflows with strong grounding, privacy controls, and sub-5s latency.”

“Music editor/composer with feature film and TV experience (including Hulu’s 'Mother/Android'), specializing in stem-based cue reshaping to support story beats and transitions. Brings a retention-focused approach for comedy/YouTube pacing (using silence and quick-evolving musical ideas) and runs an organized, template-driven Logic Pro workflow with LUFS-targeted deliverables (masters + stems).”

“Frontend engineer with telecom and fintech/banking experience in the Dominican Republic, building React/Angular apps with authentication and real-time data. Notable wins include optimizing an Oracle-backed workflow from ~10s to ~2s via DB indexing plus React memoization, and shipping a SignalR real-time transaction table in one week (award-winning) with strong unit-test-driven QA outcomes.”
