Vetted Release Management Professionals

“Game QA professional who shipped AAA (Overwatch 2) as quality feature owner for Campaign missions, owning high-risk areas like mission progression stability and preventing soft-lock/state desync issues. Also shipped Stormgate and caught a critical Steam achievement integration failure near RC by recreating the issue in an anti-cheat, live-mirroring environment and driving it through fix + regression verification.”

“Engineering lead/player-coach working on project management software, owning a high-impact scheduling algorithm rewrite focused on performance, maintainability, and documentation after prior team turnover caused regressions. Previously at EOX Vantage, helped an insurance client modernize monolithic workflows by scoping ambiguous requirements into a roadmap and shipping a day-one MVP before iterating with value-add features.”

“Procurement/sourcing professional with deep end-to-end ownership of recurring program supply and services sourcing (materials plus logistics/fulfillment), focused on reducing unit and landed costs while improving OTIF and tightening SAP purchasing controls. Demonstrates structured supplier vetting (capability, capacity, execution reliability), strong negotiation on commercial terms and SLAs, and proactive mitigation of international trade/freight/duty volatility through risk-adjusted sourcing strategies.”

“CTO/enterprise architect who stays hands-on in code while leading strategy, stakeholder alignment, and team scaling. At Eastridge, established product and technology vision/roadmap, built product engineering/strategy functions, and helped launch products into global markets; most recently led GenAI product design including tech selection, infrastructure, scalability, and observability.”

“QA tester with hands-on experience supporting Duolingo’s large-scale, high-stakes releases across iOS, Android, and web. Owns test planning, manual + mobile automation testing, regression, and release verification, with a strong focus on real-world edge cases (low-end devices, poor connectivity, localization/RTL) and rigorous bug triage using JIRA and external user reports.”

“Candidate is not currently pursuing a startup or business plan and is not looking to found a company at this time, expressing a preference for joining an existing organization. They have limited familiarity with the VC/accelerator landscape but are specifically interested in learning how companies are evaluated and how investment decisions are made.”
