“Gameplay engineer with hands-on ownership of a real-time C++ combat ability system, including diagnosing and eliminating large-scale combat frame spikes by refactoring hit detection to an event-driven, animation-notify approach (cut collision checks ~80%). Also implemented UE5 networked abilities (dash) with client-side prediction and server-authoritative reconciliation, plus projectile ballistics validated through debug spline visualizations and unit tests.”

Intern Robotics Software Engineer specializing in motion planning and robot perception

1y exp

“Robotics software engineer with Amazon Robotics internship experience who built a visual-servoing architecture from scratch, navigating multiple simulator pivots to achieve a closed-loop motion-planning and execution prototype. Currently working with ROS 2 on a medical assistive feeding robot using the Kinova Kortex platform (MoveIt2, ros2_control, Gazebo/RViz), and has demonstrated strong real-time debugging and distributed-system synchronization using Carbon and Docker.”

“Software Developer at Amazon Robotics who co-developed a congestion-aware path planning system optimizing robot routes across 23 warehouses. Built and operated a real-time, service-integrated pipeline using AWS (AppConfig, DynamoDB), Java, and Redis caching, and has hands-on experience debugging robot behavior on-site with rigorous testing and staged releases.”

“Backend-leaning engineer with experience at Dropbox, Wayfair, and Etsy who has led cross-product integrations and internal platform tooling. Re-architected a legacy promo code system from a PHP monolith to a Java/Spring Boot microservice achieving a 99% execution-time reduction, and built a React/TypeScript + Supabase product (press.social) with LLM-powered bulk parallel generation and a path to multi-tenancy.”

“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.”

“Engineering leader with experience at CBS Interactive and Paramount who scaled a web engineering team from 4 to 30+ (adding QA/PMO/mobile) while instituting strong agile and code-quality processes. Led a major architectural shift to a generic content API that decoupled web/mobile experiences from niche publishing systems, reportedly cutting developer onboarding time by ~50% and enabling some day-one production commits.”

Executive technology leader specializing in government, cloud, and cybersecurity

Reno, NV31y exp

“Founder with a bootstrapped startup who navigated early hiring and scaling by leveraging contractor talent before converting key contributors to full-time employees. Active in Northern Nevada's startup ecosystem through Generator and StartupNV, and notably declined angel/VC offers to preserve equity because of strong conviction in a differentiated product and its market fit.”

“Senior software engineer candidate who uses AI and multi-agent workflows thoughtfully to speed up development while preserving engineering rigor for production-critical decisions. Stands out for a clear risk-based framework: leveraging agents for boilerplate, refactoring, testing, and debugging, while relying on fundamentals, metrics, and human review for system design and scalability.”

“Former multi-startup CTO with experience supporting successful capital raises and working directly with boards/investors. Known for implementing operational systems that reduce client escalations (e.g., a status/semaphore overview board) and for building UX-forward MVPs that evolve into automated platforms, including a loan underwriting system for a small US lender.”
