Vetted Scalability Professionals

“Full-stack engineer with fintech and AI product experience: built HuddleAI end-to-end on Firebase/React, including a serverless LLM meeting-intelligence pipeline (FFmpeg + Google Speech-to-Text + GPT-4 with schema validation) and Slack notifications. At Gemini, owned a Postgres/Scala workflow change for wire deposit approvals that cut blocked registrations by 60% and emphasized correctness/compliance in UK/EU transaction-state UI.”

“Built and operationalized intelligent pricing infrastructure for live event ticketing at StubHub, emphasizing iterative prototyping with traders and production-grade monitoring (Splunk, API/data-stream thresholding). Also partnered with customer-facing teams to drive adoption and helped win a significant consignment revenue-share deal by demoing the system to the Philadelphia 76ers and quantifying pricing efficacy and business impact.”

“Engineering leader with BCG consulting background who has built roadmaps and scaled AI and data platforms for pharma and manufacturing clients. Led architecture shifts (Django monolith to event-driven microservices) for high-volume IoT SaaS products, improving deployment speed and enabling zero-downtime releases. Also established a near-shore engineering team in São Paulo and has managed distributed teams across multiple countries, leveraging strong stakeholder communication and a prior professional acting background for storytelling.”

Senior Backend Software Engineer specializing in microservices and cloud platforms

San Jose, CA9y exp

“Backend engineer with PayPal experience building a high-reliability onboarding API platform (Java/Spring Boot) integrating KYC/compliance and serving 1M+ users annually. Also shipped an internal LLM-driven developer tool that automates PR review insights and OpenAPI documentation with rigorous evaluation, schema-bound guardrails, and production observability.”

“Built a production GenAI-powered analytics assistant to reduce reliance on data analysts by enabling natural-language Q&A over Databricks/Power BI dashboards, backed by vector search (Pinecone/Milvus) and a Neo4j knowledge graph, including multimodal support via OpenAI Vision. Demonstrates strong real-world LLM reliability engineering with strict RAG, LangGraph multi-step verification, and Guardrails/custom validators, plus broad orchestration and production monitoring experience (Airflow, ADF, Step Functions, Kubernetes, Prometheus/CloudWatch).”

“ML/NLP engineer currently working in NYC on a system that connects complex unstructured data sources to deliver personalized insights, using embeddings + vector DB retrieval and a RAG architecture (LangChain, Pinecone/OpenSearch). Strong focus on production constraints—especially low-latency retrieval—using FAISS/ANN, PCA, index partitioning, and Redis caching, plus PEFT fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) and KPI/SLA-driven promotion to production.”

“Unity game developer who has shipped titles on Steam and mobile (Google Play/App Store), owning build quality, platform builds, and release preparation. Built a turn-based soccer game largely solo, including scalable UI, complex move-calculation systems using the command pattern, and enemy AI, and proactively brought in external AI specialists to tackle hard algorithmic challenges.”

“LLM engineer who built a production seller-support RAG system at eBay using hybrid retrieval (BM25 + Pinecone vectors) with Cohere reranking, LangGraph orchestration, and citation-grounded answers. Strong focus on reliability: semantic/structure-aware chunking, automated Ragas-based evaluation with nightly regressions, and production observability (LangSmith) plus drift monitoring (Arize). Also implemented a multi-agent fraud pipeline with AutoGen using JSON-schema contracts and explicit termination conditions.”

Entry-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in React/Next.js and Node.js

United States0y exp

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building and owning production e-commerce features in Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript, including SSR-driven category browsing with pagination and region-specific pricing. Strong focus on post-launch reliability and performance—optimizes React rendering (lazy loading/Suspense), tunes Postgres queries with indexes/explain plans, and supports durable order-processing workflows with idempotency, retries, and structured logging.”

“Candidate is not currently pursuing a startup and has no familiarity with the VC/accelerator ecosystem, but shows a thoughtful founder mindset centered on building from scratch, evaluating user impact and implementation feasibility, and avoiding financially reckless entrepreneurship.”

“Machine learning/NLP engineer who built a production-oriented retrieval-based AI system at Morgan Stanley for healthcare use cases, combining RAG over unstructured patient records with deep-learning medical image segmentation (U-Net/Mask R-CNN). Strong in end-to-end pipelines and MLOps (Spark/MongoDB, AWS SageMaker, CI/CD, monitoring, automated retraining) and in entity resolution/data quality validation for noisy clinical data.”

“Engineering leader/player-coach who led a high-stakes 0→1 in-house usage-based billing/rating platform to replace a third-party system, saving millions and protecting 30M+ in revenue. Deep experience in event-driven microservices on AWS (Lambda/SQS/DynamoDB), billing correctness, migrations, and incident response, while scaling teams through hiring, coaching, and lightweight execution processes.”

“Uber engineer who has owned internal products end-to-end across backend (Spring Boot microservices, MySQL) and frontend (React), including performance optimization and secure JWT-based auth. Also shipped a production internal RAG/embeddings LLM support assistant over policy docs and support tickets, with guardrails (confidence thresholds, human review) and an evaluation loop that directly reduced hallucinations.”

“CTO candidate with experience in multiple VC-backed startups, emphasizing timing and disciplined scaling of engineering orgs (people, product, process). Evaluates technology choices through a customer-value lens and proactively flags business/tech misalignment, with a pragmatic approach to venture viability using TAM, competitive landscape, and leading indicators.”

“Telecommunications strategist with more than two decades of experience spanning 3G through emerging 6G, focused on shaping global standards and advising senior leadership.
