Vetted Kotlin Professionals

“Engineering leader with hands-on Android architecture expertise who has scaled mobile teams at Weedmaps (including forming a Platform team and rolling out MVVM/unit testing) and also co-founded a bootstrapped side business (Sizzle), owning the technical roadmap, hiring strategy (university pipeline + senior remote engineers in Pakistan), and stepping into fundraising when runway became critical.”

“Hands-on AI/LLM engineer who built a RAG-based product feature end-to-end, including prompt engineering, safety guardrails, and an automated adversarial + load-testing harness. Diagnosed real production issues (null responses) via Azure logs/metrics and drove an architectural fix by separating model deployments to address token/quota limits. Also runs internal developer enablement through short theory-to-hands-on AI workshops after completing a Microsoft AI certification.”

“iOS-focused engineer who led feature development for Amazon Books/Kindle (e.g., Series & Story So Far recaps, Kindle Memories) and introduced pure Swift packages while building sync and content download systems. Also has full-stack experience (React/TypeScript + Node with REST/GraphQL) and strong AWS operations (CDK/CI-CD, CloudWatch, canaries, autoscaling), plus founder experience at GLXY.ai shipping an early hardware MVP (weight sensors) under tight constraints.”

“Robotics software engineer who built the behavior-tree orchestrator for the Vulcan Stow robotic system, migrating from a state machine to significantly improve testability. Experienced with ROS 1 and Baidu Apollo workflows (rosbag, LiDAR/image extraction) from self-driving simulation work at LG Silicon Valley Lab, and currently focused on stable Docker/docker-compose-based deployments with disciplined QA and hotfix processes.”

“Engineering leader (12+ years Director, 17 years lead) focused on developer productivity and platform/framework work across Oracle, PlayStation, Workday, and CafePress. Notable for building distributed teams from scratch and delivering high-impact platform architecture—e.g., re-architected PlayStation’s upload pipeline to support 500GB–5TB submissions using browser-to-AWS chunked uploads with SNS/SQS and deduplication/resume support.”

“Engineering leader (Director of Development) with hands-on cloud and product experience who builds business-aligned technology roadmaps and scales teams. Delivered an enterprise cloud-migration enabler at UHG by implementing AD authentication and Terraform-based IaC for custom VM images while meeting 90-day InfoSec patch/rotation requirements, and drove a 20% lift in user consumption/retention by designing an interactive branded media portal experience for Sunkist.”

“Robotics engineer who worked on a lunar rover program, building a simulation environment that mirrored real hardware interfaces and incorporated moon-terrain slip/friction modeling validated against a physical “moon yard.” Also integrated an ML-based munition X-ray inspection system via REST APIs, deploying and scaling inference on Azure with Kubernetes plus Prometheus monitoring, load balancing, and self-healing reliability mechanisms.”
