Vetted Firebase Professionals

“Frontend engineer who built the full frontend for gameofstreaks.com using React/Next.js with an emphasis on responsive design, accessibility, SEO, and performance profiling. Has experience refactoring legacy HTML/CSS/JS sites into reusable React components and shipping quickly with unit tests, CI/CD, and branch-based deployments; also collaborates with designers in hackathon settings (e.g., an AI interview practice app).”

“Frontend-focused engineer (~8 years) with strong React/TypeScript and Angular experience who leads end-to-end UI architecture, performance budgets, and quality practices at scale. Known for restructuring large, tightly coupled codebases into feature-based domains to eliminate UI freezes and improve team throughput, and for tight Product/Design/QA alignment via a “3 Amigos” process that catches workflow gaps early. Currently seeking a new frontend role due to GE Vernova outsourcing; has been acquired twice by large companies.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in geospatial AI and cloud security automation

San Ramon, CA5y exp

“Cloud engineer and cloud OS SME (Chevron) who productionized large-scale security remediation—using Tanium and Ansible to address CIS benchmark noncompliance across 5,000+ servers with robust logging and RCA handoffs. Also drives adoption of a geospatial AI refinery inspection product by consolidating siloed imagery into an enterprise geospatial database, and presents internally on agentic/LLM tooling (LangChain/LangGraph, LangSmith observability).”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in C++ tooling, CI/CD, and Unreal Engine pipelines

Los Angeles, CA10y exp

“Gameplay programmer with hands-on Unreal Engine multiplayer shooter experience, notably overhauling aiming/ADS using Enhanced Input and curve-table-driven response curves plus subtle aim assist. Demonstrates strong networking judgment (client-side prediction vs server authority for anti-cheat) and a systems mindset, adding automation/analytics to speed iteration and improve decision-making.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in Next.js, AI-driven apps, and payments

Calgary, AB4y exp

“Frontend engineer who has led complex React + TypeScript products end-to-end, including a real-time canvas-based digital signature editor and a multi-step AI workflow dashboard. Demonstrates strong architecture and performance instincts (state machines for streaming async updates, bundle/render optimizations) plus pragmatic shipping practices (feature flags, automated tests, analytics and user interviews), with a quantified impact from refactoring (~30% less duplicated UI code).”

“Unity/C# engineer with hands-on experience building cross-platform VR/mobile prototypes at Verizon Labs, including a networked VR cinema and virtual office application. Particularly strong in performance engineering: they describe custom update architecture, shader work, and low-level iOS optimization that enabled 60 FPS while rendering HD video textures and running voice chat simultaneously. They also bring adjacent computer vision integration experience from Nomad-Go, with a practical focus on latency, inference/render separation, and data consistency.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-driven document verification workflow for a construction firm’s submittals process, moving from a Vercel/Next.js prototype to a FastAPI + LangChain/LangGraph backend with background workers and multi-server deployment. Uses LLM tools (e.g., OpenAI Codex/Cloud Code) for rapid development and log-driven root cause analysis, and partners with customer teams on evaluation metrics and iterative improvements.”

“Healthcare-focused software engineer/lead who has delivered customer-facing portals and internal call-center tools, including rebuilding a legacy Adobe Flash call center app into a modern TypeScript frontend with NgRx state management. Experienced leading onshore/offshore teams, integrating healthcare APIs, and driving adoption by visiting call centers to capture user workflows and bake them into regression testing—work that proved especially valuable during COVID-era shifts to video appointments.”

Senior/Lead Game Developer specializing in Unity and cross-platform multiplayer games

Paphos, Cyprus28y exp

“Veteran Unity game developer with extensive multiplayer networking experience (Photon PUN2/Quantum/Fusion, Unity Netcode), including work on Payday: Crime War and an in-development arena battler using Invector + PUN2. Also builds cloud backends for Unity titles (Azure/PlayFab/Firebase, SQL, CI/CD) and actively uses multiple AI assistants to speed up architecture and implementation.”

“Backend engineer currently at Citigroup working on real-time transaction processing systems with Kafka. Stands out for using AI tools pragmatically in a regulated banking environment to improve debugging, testing, and developer productivity while keeping human control over architecture, security, and performance decisions.”

“Fintech startup veteran (8+ years) building TrustRelay, a control-plane product between ERPs and banks to verify vendors, enforce pre-flight payout policies, automate reconciliation, and produce deterministic audit evidence. Currently at MVP stage and planning to pursue Founders Institute Boston Sprint 2026 while lining up design partners and raising pre-seed/seed.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in React, TypeScript, and microservices

3y exp

“Built and productionized an AI agent-based in-app assistant at ISAFE to guide users through document workflows, piloting with a partner school district and then rolling out across districts. Combines hands-on LLM/agent debugging (logs, fallback rates, state/context tracking) with strong technical demos and sales enablement through live workflows and pilot programs (e.g., Osceola School District).”

“Analytics professional with healthcare and operations experience who turns messy enterprise data from platforms like Teradata, GCP, SQL Server, and Snowflake into trusted reporting layers and reproducible analysis workflows. They combine SQL, Python, PySpark, Power BI, and Tableau to improve reporting accuracy and performance, including a 30% dashboard refresh improvement and 20-25% accuracy gains in healthcare reporting.”

“Enterprise-minded builder who has owned complex, high-impact systems from discovery through stabilization, including a customer master data platform at AB InBev serving 2,000 sales reps across 13 countries. Also demonstrates strong AI product instincts, having built a first-place ReAct-style NYC property intelligence agent at IBM's AI Demystified Hackathon, while showing deep rigor in data quality, integrations, and production reliability.”

“Wayfair ML/AI engineer who has shipped and operated production LLM systems for both internal analytics and customer-facing assistants. Stands out for combining strong RAG/retrieval engineering with production-grade platform work—improving trust, reducing latency by ~30%, and cutting ad hoc reporting demand by ~50%.”

“Built Nexthire-AI, shipping an end-to-end LLM-powered resume–job description matching product (React + Node.js) using embeddings and retrieval to generate match scores and skill-gap recommendations. Improved post-launch engagement by making feedback cleaner and more actionable, and added production guardrails (validation, timeouts, fallbacks) to handle messy resume formats and AI API instability.”
