Vetted GitHub Copilot Professionals

“Game developer with hands-on experience shipping Unity/C# systems across live ops, multiplayer, AI-driven gameplay, and cross-platform VR/mobile optimization. Particularly notable for building a data-driven live events pipeline for Tomb Raider Reloaded that empowered non-developers and cut release turnaround from days to roughly 50 minutes across four store variants.”

“Full-stack developer who uses AI deliberately rather than blindly, keeping generated code to a minority of core feature work so they retain full understanding of data flow. Built a React/TypeScript + Supabase task management app and shows strong judgment around debugging hallucinated schema/query output, refactoring for maintainability, and prioritizing security and logic over boilerplate speed.”

“Full-stack engineer who built a custom LMS end to end with Next.js, TypeScript, Python, AWS, and S3, owning the learning module experience and structured progress tracking. Also shipped a bilingual English-Swahili caregiver support WhatsApp chatbot using OpenAI, with strong attention to safety boundaries, anonymous logging, prompt iteration, and real-world deployment in a sensitive support context.”

“Unity VR/AR developer with 10 years of experience who built a complex multiplayer online Jenga game from scratch, including VOIP and a custom physics synchronization approach to make heavy physics work smoothly online. Has also delivered VR simulation experiences for an educational institution using drone-recorded 360 video placed into a virtual cockpit flight experience (deployed directly to Quest headsets, though not launched on the Quest store).”

“Serial entrepreneur with 30+ years of professional software engineering experience who co-founded Food Truck Stars, initially a food-truck search engine and later pivoted into a catering marketplace to overcome adoption barriers. Validated the model by prototyping at car enthusiast events across the U.S. and turning a profit, using hands-on customer discovery with low-tech, time-constrained operators.”

Director-level Unity Engineer specializing in multiplayer, WebGL/WebGPU, and XR

Stockholm, Sweden15y exp

“Lead Unity engineer who shipped a Meta Quest VR free-to-play poker title, tackling hand-tracking controls, physics-driven chip interactions, and large-room multiplayer with anti-cheat needs. Also independently built a mobile real-time multiplayer racing game through beta, including backend, progression, on-demand track delivery, and a custom car physics engine.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-enhanced version of the WeDAA platform to auto-generate microservice architecture diagrams and support code generation from user prompts, including a practical solution for non-overlapping canvas object placement via coordinate templates. Experienced in diagnosing agentic workflow failures using AWS Strands agents with feature-flagged debug logging, and frequently supports sales through tailored demos and POCs to drive adoption.”

“Full-stack engineer who has delivered production customer analytics/dashboard features using Next.js App Router + TypeScript on the frontend and Java Spring Boot microservices on the backend. Demonstrates strong production ownership (monitoring latency/error rates/adoption) plus hands-on performance work across React rendering and Postgres query/index optimization, and has implemented Temporal-like durable workflows with retries and idempotency.”

Mid-Level Technical Game Designer & Unity/Unreal Gameplay Programmer

Remote, USA5y exp

“Technical game designer/Unity developer who has shipped across PC, consoles, web, and mobile, with a strong focus on performance optimization (culling/occlusion, event-driven patterns, sprite atlasing) including for Nintendo Switch constraints. Served as feature owner on Risk of Rain 2 DLC "Alloyed Collective" (characters, bosses, items, interactables, enemies) and acted as project lead during a critical transition, stepping in to rescue a playable character design to meet client requirements.”

“Built Python-based data workflow integrations for a Huntsman Cancer Institute research project, focusing on reliable upload, validation, processing, and retrieval of messy research data. Demonstrates strong practical instincts around automation hardening, observability, and translating ambiguous manual processes into structured workflows, including Selenium automation when APIs were unavailable.”

“Frontend-focused React and TypeScript candidate with hands-on experience building dynamic quiz applications and complex data dashboards with charts, tables, filters, and drill-down interactions. Demonstrates strong practical judgment around maintainable component architecture, type-safe API integration, accessibility, and production performance optimization for data-heavy UIs.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience spanning enterprise document platforms and AI-powered clinical education products. Built secure TypeScript/Next.js features end to end, designed multi-model LLM workflows with validation and monitoring in production, and modernized a legacy PHP monolith through blue-green deployment and incremental migration without outages.”
