Vetted Release Management Professionals

“Serial entrepreneur with 30+ years of professional software engineering experience who co-founded Food Truck Stars, initially a food-truck search engine and later pivoted into a catering marketplace to overcome adoption barriers. Validated the model by prototyping at car enthusiast events across the U.S. and turning a profit, using hands-on customer discovery with low-tech, time-constrained operators.”

“Technical game designer/Unity developer who has shipped across PC, consoles, web, and mobile, with a strong focus on performance optimization (culling/occlusion, event-driven patterns, sprite atlasing) including for Nintendo Switch constraints. Served as feature owner on Risk of Rain 2 DLC "Alloyed Collective" (characters, bosses, items, interactables, enemies) and acted as project lead during a critical transition, stepping in to rescue a playable character design to meet client requirements.”

“Unity developer with hands-on Meta Quest SDK experience (tested on Quest 2) who built a first-person game framework from scratch and later converted it into a hybrid VR + keyboard/mouse project with interaction systems (pickups, weapons, customization). Uses AI tools selectively to unblock tough engineering issues, including resolving Unity WebGL cached-data reset problems for a current employer.”

“Unity technical designer/game developer who improves engagement and retention through KPI-driven analysis and live-ops tuning (e.g., early-game energy/progression adjustments and time-based targeted礼包 pushes). Built a Python-based visual map/level editor that exports CSV to replace error-prone manual coordinate entry, saving significant team time and remaining reusable across later projects.”

“Product-focused F2P operator with hands-on experience shipping and optimizing a live social casino game on iOS/Android. Led a board-style progression meta and solved fairness-vs-economy constraints by designing a volatility model for dice RNG, validated through offline modeling and live cohort tests, delivering strong engagement and monetization lifts.”

“Game QA professional working in an agile studio environment with end-to-end ownership of feature testing, including an AAA release enhancement focused on user authentication and session management. Experienced partnering with PM/design/dev from PRD walkthroughs through triage, regression, and release readiness, and has implemented repeatable coverage via TestRail/Jira traceability plus Playwright (TypeScript) automation.”

“QA Automation Engineer with hands-on ownership of an end-to-end Selenium-Java/TestNG suite for an e-commerce platform, integrated into Jenkins with PR smoke and nightly regression gating. Notably caught and validated (via SQL/API checks) a critical defect where checkout reported success but orders were not persisted, preventing customer-impacting production issues; also has Cypress experience stabilizing flaky UI tests using robust selector and wait strategies.”

“QA automation engineer (Tencent experience) who extended Android Monkey testing to dramatically increase activity coverage (~300%) and cut runtime from 8 hours to ~1 hour per app. Strong in Cypress/JS test architecture and CI/CD gating (GitLab + Kubernetes parallel runs), and has a track record of reproducing and documenting high-impact reliability issues (e.g., silent failures in a cloud-native mobile automation platform under network loss).”

“F2P product/game designer with live-ops experience on an NBC Group-owned mobile app in the MENA region (~200k users), driving personalization (segmented ads/trivia) and monetization (regional pricing, LTOs, season pass). Owns the full delivery lifecycle—PRDs/backlog through QA/UAT and release—and uses retention/conversion metrics and A/B testing to tune rewards and the game economy.”

“Cloud/DevOps-focused engineer with hands-on experience building Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications deployed to AKS, including security scanning, approvals, versioned artifacts, and rollback. Also implemented Terraform-based IaC for Azure (VNets/subnets/NSGs/AKS) with modular design, remote state/locking, and drift detection; resolved a real deployment outage caused by an Azure RBAC permission change.”

“Business/partnerships-focused project/program leader with government contracting (SLED) experience who supported a cybersecurity solicitation response for Amtrak after a breach, using NIST-aligned posture assessment and recommending MFA, Zero Trust, and incident/vulnerability registers. Also led an urgent COVID-era recovery from a server crash by coordinating a move to AWS EC2 and managing vendor negotiation and project timelines for a CRM platform serving the winery/beverage industry.”

“Frontend engineer at LodestonePM who led end-to-end delivery of an AI release-notes generator (OpenAI API) and a Kanban-style release board in Remix/React/TypeScript. Demonstrated scalable architecture (bridging tables, upserts), strong QA practices, and measurable performance wins (200+ item loads reduced from 10–20s to a few seconds via caching/pagination), plus UX improvements like simplifying a Jira integration flow.”

“Full-stack/edge-focused engineer who took a manual, terminal-based AI calibration workflow and turned it into a web-enabled remote calibration system designed for low-bandwidth 5G field deployments, now used across 85+ field sites. Experienced operating edge fleets with versioned rollouts, Kubernetes-based cloud monitoring, and Prometheus/Grafana observability, plus refactoring fast-moving AI codebases for modularity and strong typing.”

“Frontend engineer who led an internal React + TypeScript admin dashboard end-to-end, including a collaboratively owned component system and complex RBAC/permissions workflows. Emphasizes scalable architecture and correctness using React Query (mutations + query invalidation), centralized permission logic, and TypeScript for safe evolution, plus performance tuning for data-heavy tables and pragmatic MVP-driven delivery with gradual rollouts.”

“Built and owned a customer-facing Document Intelligence Service for legal contract analytics at Noasis Digital, delivering extraction/summarization with careful accuracy controls (confidence thresholds, versioned deployments, production logging). Also developed a React/TypeScript document review app and internal QA dashboard, and has hands-on microservices experience with async messaging (RabbitMQ), timeout tuning, and centralized structured logging for reliability at scale.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong AWS operations experience who helped replace a long-standing manual logistics reporting process by building a production-grade, event-driven On-Time-Performance rules system. Personally owned the Vue-based rule configuration frontend end-to-end (design collaboration through QA/UAT and post-release support) and measures success via accuracy validation against historical data, reduced manual adjustments/tickets, and system latency/error metrics.”
