Vetted SaaS Professionals

“Product intern at an AI startup (AdvisorGPT) who helped turn an LLM-based prototype into a production SEO blog-generation workflow that matched a firm’s tone/voice and targeted specific search phrases. Strong at bridging technical and non-technical teams, rapidly learning new AI tooling, and driving adoption through customer calls, UX improvements, and customer-facing demos/workshops.”

“Founder of Pavtek Consulting LLC who acts as a hands-on technology leader for startups, building MVPs and full-stack AI products, custom ERPs, integrations, and AI agent chat tools. Notably led a major turnaround at Dyknow (EdTech), cutting major cloud waste and moving the business from a $500k annual loss to double profitability within two years before a successful acquisition.”

“Bootstrapped founder/fractional-CTO type building a community-first tooling platform and niche product lab, emphasizing trust and "family" culture. Operates extremely lean by self-hosting open-source LLM tooling locally and leverages a network of senior generalists willing to trade short-term compensation for learning and equity. Has worked across real estate tech, logistics, and hospitality POS and is applying a multi-modal "brain trails" concept to product opportunities.”

“Serverless-focused engineer (5+ years) who has built and deployed AWS Lambda/API Gateway backends with CloudFormation-based IaC and Jenkins-driven CI/CD across dev/staging/prod. Has experience with AWS Glue/OpenSearch data pipelines and emphasizes data correctness via Golden Data automated tests; also modernized a regulated .NET account-confirmation workflow by eliminating an unreliable SMTP email dependency. Based in San Jose, seeking primarily remote work with quarterly travel to Bethesda, MD and targeting $200k base.”

“Revenue growth and RevOps veteran (25+ years) relaunching Impactus Growth Advisors, a services firm for early-to-growth-stage startups focused on execution-heavy revenue ops. Has validated tiered service packages through years of fractional consulting and is planning an AI-based Q&A app as an entry point to scale GTM and service delivery, with intent to bootstrap or potentially raise via angels.”

“Solutions Architect with 5+ years leading pre- and post-sales engagements, focused on taking complex tooling from test/prototype to secure production through a structured discovery-to-deployment approach. Experienced in LLM workflow troubleshooting using tools like Langfuse/Gopher and in developer enablement via concise, hands-on workshops (e.g., Jenkins on Kubernetes at scale). Has navigated internal and external blockers to drive adoption and keep enterprise deals moving (including a Jenkins sale to Love's).”

“Former CEO of GravyWork with hands-on experience building an org-wide strategic plan and modernization roadmap for a growing company. Uses Michael Gerber’s innovation/orchestration/quantification framework and structured as-is/gap/to-be analysis to drive cost reduction, automation/outsourcing decisions, and leadership alignment through change.”

“Exited Founder-CEO with deep-tech experience who raised capital and built a venture around making end-to-end encryption with cloud-level performance and data sovereignty feasible. Demonstrated first-principles technical rigor (network/TCP analysis) to prove scientific feasibility, then progressed from proof of concept to prototype and eventual exit, with a strong bias toward ultra-lean, customer-paid MVPs.”

“Gameplay engineer with hands-on ownership of real-time C++/UE5 systems, including an end-to-end ability system and a networked dash feature using client prediction and server reconciliation. Strong in performance profiling/optimization (object pooling, collision-check gating) and applied math for projectile motion validated via debug visualization and QA/playtesting; particularly interested in soccer/football gameplay mechanics and feel.”

“AI startup co-founder and CTO who helped raise $2.6M in seed funding at RedRex and drove product strategy from ideation through execution. Experienced with rapid experimentation and AI-driven prototyping to validate ideas quickly, and has direct exposure to the VC/accelerator ecosystem (Gener8tor) with a market-first approach to building and pitching startups.”

“Former founder with an acquired venture who later led R&D at McClatchy and joined multiple startups. Identified a major client need and built a mobile app platform using ML and AR for home builders, driving adoption by dozens of customers and $1M+ ARR. Strong hands-on builder who can architect MVPs, iterate quickly with A/B testing and user feedback, and scale early engineering teams and culture.”

“Backend engineer who has built end-to-end data and platform systems across domains: a Scala/Java media data warehouse with a custom query language and Elasticsearch search, plus production security patterns (RBAC, RLS, audit trails) including a telehealth platform. Also demonstrated strong operational rigor by using feature-flagged side-by-side migrations and by catching ecommerce checkout edge cases that were dropping revenue.”

“Full-stack engineer who owns customer-facing web products end-to-end (React/TypeScript + Node.js), shipping frequent releases with strong testing, staged deploys, and production monitoring. Improved a key user flow by batching backend calls and simplifying frontend rendering, driving ~30% faster load times and ~30% higher completion rates. Also built an ops monitoring dashboard using ELK + Prometheus/Grafana that cut incident response time by 40% and has hands-on microservices messaging experience (RabbitMQ/Kafka, idempotency, DLQs).”

“Backend-leaning founding/early engineer who built automation platforms end-to-end: FastAPI/Python services integrated with a Next.js/TypeScript frontend, including a production VNC streaming URL endpoint for cloud-instance desktop viewing. Also designed core Postgres user/workflow data models and built an agentic orchestration system with LangChain/LangGraph (sub-agents, validators, pause/resume), plus made scalability tradeoffs like S3 pre-signed uploads to keep microservices responsive.”

“Senior technologist (25 years experience) who served as chief architect/CTO for a patented software startup that was acquired. Strong at building scalable, robust, technology-agnostic systems and translating technical value into investor-ready narratives (forecasts, roadmaps, documentation). Currently prefers joining an existing founding team as a key technical leader/mentor rather than leading entrepreneurship solo.”
