“Hands-on engineering manager at a marketing company leading a highly senior, distributed team (10 direct reports) while personally coding ~60–70% and owning end-to-end architecture across three interconnected products. Built agentic CRM automation and a reinforcement-learning-driven distribution layer for channel spend/bidding, with a strong focus on scalable design and observability (Prometheus/APM/logging) enabling frequent releases and few production incidents.”

“Product-minded frontend/UX leader with notable experience at CNBC, where they owned premium subscription and engagement flows from problem definition through production and post-launch iteration. They stand out for combining high-polish React implementation, Figma-driven systems thinking, and AI-assisted prototyping to quickly ship and refine conversion-focused experiences.”

Notable for scaling distributed teams, making pragmatic build-vs-buy and architecture decisions, and delivering measurable business impact including dramatically faster checkout performance and revenue gains.”

“Amazon Alexa engineer who architected and shipped a GenAI Knowledge Agent used by 2M+ customers, focused on making LLM outputs auditable via citations and a verification layer that prevents hallucinations. Built the full vertical slice (FastAPI/LangChain backend + React/TypeScript streaming UI) while keeping p99 latency under 200ms, and has proven incident response experience on AWS (Lambda/DynamoDB scaling issues).”

“Engineering leader (Sr Director/VP) with healthcare marketplace and e-commerce/art marketplace experience who has shipped AI-driven pricing, scaled engineering teams rapidly, and navigated messy legacy integrations. Currently doing fractional tech advisory, leading a migration from self-hosted infrastructure to Google Cloud using IaC while mentoring a junior developer and modernizing security/patching posture.”

“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.”

“Meta engineer who emphasizes AI-native development workflows, using Claude Code heavily to ship UI and performance fixes quickly.

They also bring B2B SaaS experience building feature-flagged, permission-sensitive products for customers ranging from startups to large enterprises, plus migration experience moving an acquired app from .NET into a React/Next.js ecosystem.”

“Built and operationalized an internal LLM/RAG system for engineering specs—starting with an at-home prototype using real ERP documents, then securing hardware, standing up a GPU/software stack, and deploying through UAT to production. Identified organizational gaps (no shared spec repository) and created a queryable RAG database that reportedly cut document discovery from days/weeks to minutes, while also resolving retrieval issues via improved PDF-aware chunking.”
