Vetted Networking Professionals

“Product/operations-focused builder exploring an AI-based vacation planning app (early-stage). Previously drove a large-scale fulfillment-center automation initiative impacting 1.2M associates, reducing peak-season ad-hoc hiring and delivering ~$39MM in annual savings through a metrics-driven, cross-functional execution approach.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer who has shipped both core systems and live multiplayer features, including a modular real-time inventory system that cut crashes by 80% and improved retention. Built an LLM-driven NPC dialogue pipeline with caching, fallbacks, batching, and fine-tuned models, iterating via player feedback and analytics. Shipped a Photon Fusion multiplayer metaverse with rigorous network simulation and CI stress testing, and has VR optimization experience (Meta Quest constraints) on Horizon Worlds.”

“Full-stack engineer with deep serverless AWS experience who built VidToNote, an AI video analysis platform, end-to-end using Next.js App Router/TypeScript and an event-driven pipeline (API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, SQS). Strong on production reliability and observability (CloudWatch, X-Ray, structured logging), plus data/analytics work in Postgres with measurable query optimizations and durable LLM evaluation workflows. Amazon background; integrated 22 AWS services and completed AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification within a month.”

“Early-career engineer (internship background) who built a production-style notes product using Next.js App Router with Server Components/Server Actions and a Postgres-backed analytics model. Demonstrates strong performance and reliability instincts—measured DB latency improvements via indexing and cursor pagination, plus durable orchestration with Temporal using idempotency and deterministic workflows.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in Spring Boot, React, and cloud microservices

San Francisco, CA5y exp

“Backend engineer with experience at Meta and Accenture building regulated-data systems (healthcare/financial) using Python/Flask and Postgres. Has scaled high-throughput services to millions of daily requests, delivering measurable latency wins (~40% API latency reduction; ~35% faster DB-backed endpoints), and has productionized ML inference services using Docker/Kubernetes and AWS (ECS/SageMaker).”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer from Roku who led and shipped a cross-platform real-time multiplayer system spanning Meta Quest VR and iOS/Android, including AI/LLM-driven NPC behavior. Reported strong post-launch outcomes (+40% VR retention, +25% engagement) with stable networking (server-authoritative, delta compression/prediction) and robust debugging/observability via logging and replay tools.”

“Built production LLM systems focused on reliability and safety, including a plain-English deployment tool that generates validated plans and provisions to Kubernetes while preventing unsafe actions via schema enforcement and plan/execute separation. Also created multi-LLM workflows (LangGraph) and stakeholder-friendly demos at Bosch, including a PyQt/FastAPI/CUDA app comparing SAM2 vs SAMWISE for on-device object detection with intuitive UX for business users.”

“Software engineer with 2.5 years at Amazon working on the Package Tracking page (Amazon’s most visited page), delivering new customer actions like Cancel Delivery and Buy Again within a Spring Boot-based stack. Has hands-on experience with feature-flagged rollouts (Weblab), A/B testing, and scaling/load testing for Prime Day-level traffic, and is upskilling into React while leveraging modern AI coding tools on side projects.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer who has shipped across console/PC/VR and mobile, including Ace Combat 7 (VR) and mobile titles. Built monetization-impacting gameplay systems (power-ups) and a full server-authoritative multiplayer architecture, and uses LLM-driven editor tooling and multi-agent workflows to rapidly prototype features while adding automated testing, benchmarking, dashboards, and CI/CD.”

“Former professional baseball player with 14 years in pro ball, including Double-A All-Star honors and 200+ career home runs across U.S. and international leagues. Combines lived player experience, formal MLB scouting training, and a deep network of scouts and coaches to advise athletes on key development decisions and help create opportunities from scholarships to independent ball placements.”
