Vetted Quality Assurance Professionals

“QA/engineering background spanning Riot Games (VALORANT leaderboard systems) and early-stage startups. Has hands-on experience improving performance and reliability via caching, rate limiting, deduplication/idempotency, and shipping/validating high-stakes production hotfixes; also builds Next.js/TypeScript projects and automation/internal tools (Python).”

“AppSec-focused customer advisor with hands-on experience integrating SAST/DAST/SCA into production CI/CD (Azure DevOps) and designing secure agent/scanning deployments in AWS (least-privilege IAM, private subnets, VPC endpoints). Demonstrates strong incident troubleshooting using logs/metrics/traces to diagnose load-related failures (timeouts/retry storms) and drive durable fixes, while tailoring risk/tradeoff communication across engineering, security, and leadership stakeholders.”

“Founder of an algorithmic trading startup who reports raising $25M+ over roughly the last three years. Has spent several years working closely with VC funds, focusing on fundraising and lead generation with VC/PE firms, and is strongly committed to entrepreneurship and scaling new technologies.”

“Operations leader who joined Nucleus Biologics early and built the company’s pre-production and technical operations operating model end-to-end, including team buildout, KPI/dashboards, and regulatory readiness. Co-led ISO 13485 certification and managed capex and multi-year initiatives up to $10M. Notably mitigated a post-COVID supply chain crisis by designing an in-house manufacturing path for a critical sterile 2000L mixing bag/impeller (including CNC/prototyping and L&E considerations), eliminating vendor reliance and driving significant YoY savings.”

“Operations-focused leader with experience spanning client delivery, sales operations, and longer-term customer success initiatives at a reputation analytics firm and at Penta. Known for implementing systems (ClickUp, Salesforce/HubSpot, marketing tech) and rigorous reporting rhythms that improve executive visibility, accountability, and data-driven resource allocation; also supported an acquisition by preparing confidential financial documentation and contracts.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an AI-assisted job-matching dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, keeping LLM logic server-side and improving performance via deduplication, caching/revalidation, and streaming (35% fewer duplicate LLM calls; 40% faster first render). Also has strong data/backend chops: designed Postgres models and optimized queries at million-record scale (1.8s to 120ms) and built durable AWS multi-region telemetry workflows with idempotency, retries, and monitoring.”

“Performance marketing and ad operations specialist who owned an Eli Lilly high-spend account ($75K–$150K/month), running campaigns across GAM, FreeWheel, and Operative One. Focused on disciplined pacing, trafficking/QA, and cross-system reporting reconciliation to hit 100% in-full delivery, stabilize CPA mid-flight, and avoid makegoods or billing escalations.”

“Operations leader with heavy industrial and climate/industrial innovation exposure: led ops for a novel cement-disruption product involving site selection near CO2 emitters and feedstock/offtake sourcing to reach a proof-of-concept facility. Previously recommissioned an oil re-refinery within a year, owning cross-functional hiring plus compliance, budgeting, and community relations—delivering on time and on budget.”

“Game QA professional with live production ownership on New World Aeternum (progression-driven connected rewards spanning UI, backend tracking, and live tuning) and experience on God of War Ragnarok. Emphasizes risk-based test planning, strong cross-functional triage grounded in player impact/live risk, and highly actionable Jira/TestRail practices (PAL titles, traceability, video/log evidence) to speed resolution and reduce late-cycle churn.”

“Video editor/audio engineer focused on music editing and mixing for longform and digital content, with examples spanning a criminal justice reform documentary ("The People's Project") and a comedy series (All Deaf Digital). Works end-to-end in Premiere + Pro Tools, using LUFS targets, restoration, automation, and templates, and iterates quickly using producer notes and YouTube retention analytics.”

“Game QA professional with ~5 years in embedded QA roles across major studios (Experis Game Solutions, Activision, Ubisoft, Meta), including ownership of the Weapons feature area on Ubisoft’s XDefiant and feature testing on Warzone. Known for risk-based, cross-system test coverage (matchmaking/party, progression, entitlements/MTX, performance across PC/console, live-service integrations) and for leading cross-discipline meetings and release readiness reviews.”
