Senior QA Automation Engineer specializing in end-to-end and API test automation

Chicago, IL7y exp

“QA automation engineer in a banking domain who owned an end-to-end automation suite for critical money movement flows (onboarding, funding, transfers). Demonstrated impact through edge-case coverage (min balance, boundary amounts, repeated actions, timeouts), CI/CD gating with smoke vs regression suites, and catching a high-impact timing defect where UI success masked incorrect balance updates.”

Executive Technology Leader specializing in Cloud Platforms, DevOps, and AI/ML

Tampa, FL21y exp

“Early-stage startup CTO helping build an AI-powered parenting assistant app with features spanning advice, shopping, task management, and inventory management. The team is currently testing an MVP with their network while the candidate simultaneously learns the seed/Series fundraising process through Connectd and early investor conversations.”

“New grad focused on AI systems and agent-based development, with hands-on experience using LLMs as a coding partner and building RAG-based document processing workflows. Stands out for practical experimentation with semantic chunking, retrieval optimization, and multi-agent architectures, including redesigning a RAG workflow by adding a reasoning agent to improve response accuracy and reliability.”

Dmytro Medvediev

Senior Unity Tech Lead specializing in game, AR/VR, and cross-platform development

Warsaw, Poland15y exp

“Gameplay/networking engineer who owned and shipped a networked AR combat system for a hybrid RTS/FPS in Unity/C#, spanning architecture, Photon sync, tooling, performance optimization, and CI/CD. Particularly strong in multiplayer reliability: they built desync detection and replay debugging workflows, plus practical LLM-assisted review/testing processes to improve iteration speed and code quality.”

Shrutika Chawla

Screened

Senior Full-Stack Developer specializing in React/React Native and SaaS platforms

Edmonton, AB7y exp

“Frontend engineer who has led end-to-end delivery of a climate-risk visualization/financial impact web platform using micro-frontends (Webpack Module Federation), a shared MUI design system, and React Query server-state to keep independent modules consistent and performant. Also improved a complex rules-heavy document editor (Crove.app) by eliminating input lag with memoization + Web Workers and introducing a headless rendering engine reused across products, with disciplined rollout via feature flags and Sentry monitoring.”

“Engineering/product leader in early-stage environments who has repeatedly driven major pivots and scaling efforts: pandemic-era refactor at NameCoach and multi-community expansion at Nolodex (now ~20 communities). Comfortable going from executive roadmap/stakeholder alignment to hands-on implementation (e.g., webhooks), and has led architecture shifts (monolith-to-distributed, Heroku-to-AWS) while managing outsourced/offshore teams through organizational friction.”

“UNIX operations-focused candidate with hands-on AIX/Solaris troubleshooting and Bash automation experience, including resolving a production connectivity outage caused by a host table IP misconfiguration. Has supported a re-platform migration of a home-grown application by working directly with developers and running parallel testing prior to cutover; no direct IBM Power (VIOS/HMC/LPAR) or NIM/PowerHA experience.”
