Mid-level Game Developer specializing in XR, AR, and multiplayer Unity experiences

Remote5y exp

“Gameplay programmer with hands-on experience shipping VR systems in Unity/C#, including a quest-based onboarding flow for the VR MOBA Crystal Conquest that became a core part of the player experience as the game expanded. Brings a mix of gameplay architecture, Photon Fusion multiplayer implementation, Quest optimization, and practical AI-assisted development workflows using Claude Code and Unity MCP.”

“Full-stack JavaScript engineer (React/Node/Vue) who has operated like a maintainer by owning an internal component library with Storybook-style examples, documentation, and non-breaking versioning. Demonstrated strong performance engineering on a source code review service—profiling bottlenecks, fixing N+1 queries, adding caching, and trimming payloads to cut latency (e.g., ~100ms to <50ms) while rolling out incremental, test-backed improvements.”

“Built from scratch a social media analytics MVP featuring an LLM-powered semantic search agent that became a core part of the product experience within a 6-week deadline. Stands out for focusing on production readiness early—retrieval-first design, explicit tool constraints, structured outputs, idempotent services, and practical eval/monitoring loops rather than demo-only AI.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building real-time operational products across banking, insurance, and startup e-commerce environments. They’ve owned features end-to-end—from React/TypeScript dashboards and Redux performance tuning to Spring Boot, Kafka, AWS Lambda, and production monitoring—and have also shipped 0→1 capabilities where business impact was immediate, such as reducing overselling through inventory visibility.”

“Built both a React/Supabase kanban product and CodeVoyage, a multi-agent platform for navigating large TypeScript/Node.js codebases. Stands out for being unusually rigorous about AI-assisted development: they quantify AI usage, manually verify generated code, and have firsthand experience debugging failures in persistence layers, retrieval quality, and long-context agent orchestration.”

“Engineer at Morgan Stanley working on AI-enabled trade surveillance and compliance routing systems. They’ve built and monitored chained agent workflows for retrieval, risk classification, and alert routing, with strong emphasis on auditability, hallucination prevention, and regulated-environment reliability.”

“Frontend/product engineer with strong ownership on complex, high-impact internal and government-facing products. Most notably built an intake data portal for a federal agency with dynamic form building, versioning, permissions, and migrations that exceeded adoption expectations by 300% and expanded to agency-wide use while reducing manual work by roughly a week per month.”

“Full-stack engineer with recent startup-style experience at SynapOne building enterprise B2B SaaS platforms for compliance and operational review workflows. Stands out for turning ambiguous business problems into production systems, including AI-assisted workflow automation, scalable Go/Python microservices, React/TypeScript interfaces, and PostgreSQL/Elasticsearch-backed platforms used daily by customers.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned production retail and order/inventory systems end-to-end, using Spring Boot microservices with Kafka event-driven workflows. Strong in production correctness patterns (idempotency, retries/DLQs, schema versioning) plus observability (Prometheus/Grafana) and developer-facing API design (Swagger, OAuth2/JWT, versioning/deprecation). Also built TypeScript/React SPAs and cited ~40% UI performance improvement.”

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in cloud-native FinTech and AI systems

Virginia, USA9y exp

“DevOps-focused engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience in early-stage startup environments, working on small teams to modernize CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments. They report reducing release times from hours to minutes, improving reliability and production recovery, and building backend APIs and automation for an internal SaaS platform shaped by security, scale, and compliance requirements.”

“Engineering leader focused on developer platforms and identity: led a 5-person team building a multi-tenant IAM framework extending Duende IdentityServer, including governance, API standards, and multi-language SDKs. Drove major API architecture improvements by introducing GraphQL alongside REST, cutting client calls from 4 to 1 and reducing payload size by 60% within 6 months, with strong emphasis on stability (semver, E2E tests, feature flags, blue-green deploys).”

Principal Software Engineer specializing in full-stack platforms and AI integration

Miami, FL14y exp

“Serial entrepreneur and software engineer currently ideating a B2B vertical AI SaaS company with seed funding secured, using a custom-built AI agent to generate and vet startup ideas. Previously sold a software product (AskDiagnostic) into physician offices and spun an observed workflow gap into an in-house compounding solution, including a <3-minute dispensing process and supporting software for inventory, compliance, labeling, reorders, billing, and reporting.”

“Startup-focused technical leader with 20+ years in the ecosystem, including hands-on involvement in raising $3M at Jackpot Rising. Brings a rare mix of CTO-level technical execution, investor-facing fundraising support, patent filing experience, and deep familiarity with accelerators and venture capital.”
