“Senior engineer with a rare mix of game-platform and mobile content-delivery experience: helped ship the Xbox 360 Party system and later architected the custom multi-catalog asset pipeline behind Netflix Stories. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can design scalable, low-memory, high-stability systems for live content across many titles and external partners.”

“Operations/engineering leader from Poly who optimized a professional headset portfolio by aggressively prioritizing technical debt and consolidating HW/SW platforms (down to 2 each), accelerating time-to-market by ~6 months and enabling 3–6 month variant cycles. Also drove AI-enabled quality improvements by leveraging JIRA bug data to automate test case creation and expand coverage, while aligning engineering and product management around MVO delivery.”

“Senior software engineering leader with 20+ years of management exposure who has alternated between IC and director-level roles, leading teams of up to 25 across AI platform, analytics, Salesforce, and systems software projects. Particularly compelling for roles needing both technical depth and organizational leadership: they have architected systems themselves, built teams in new geographies, and coordinated platform, AI/data, and consumer engineering groups to deliver successful turnkey AI solutions.”
