“QA automation engineer with hands-on ownership of Selenium (C#) and Cypress (JavaScript) suites, including CI integration in GitLab with PR smoke gating and nightly regressions with JUnit reports/screenshots. Drove a reported ~60% reduction in manual effort, improved suite maintainability through reuse/merging tests, and proactively shaped requirements/acceptance criteria in sprint planning to prevent defects (including claims calculation and server/log-related issues).”

“Frontend engineer with hands-on experience revamping IPTV native TV apps (Android TV, Xfinity, LG, Samsung), building scalable, lazy-loaded home page and content experiences that remain stable as backend playlists change. Emphasizes component/modular architecture (including MVP on Android TV), strong quality practices (CI, unit tests, code reviews, manual device testing), and modern React+TypeScript state management using Zustand with clean separation of business logic from UI.”

“Software engineer/product-focused builder who delivered real-time supply chain inventory dashboards to replace a legacy system, integrating directly with ERP/WMS/TMS to eliminate manual reporting. Uses TypeScript/React with Redux Toolkit on the frontend and microservices + REST APIs on the backend, with performance improvements via Redis caching and a strong focus on user-feedback-driven prioritization and observability in distributed systems.”

“Full Stack Developer (recently at Cisco Systems) building end-to-end web applications with Angular frontends and Spring Boot microservices backed by MySQL/JPA, including JWT + role-based access. Has hands-on experience with high-volume, real-time data processing/visualization and has solved complex UI state consistency issues using RxJS BehaviorSubjects; also applies layered state patterns in React with Redux Toolkit and uses AI dev tools (Cursor/Claude) strategically.”

“Game/content designer with experience at EA and on a mobile title (Ultimate Fishing), owning PvP mode UX/gameplay improvements and building UE5 Blueprint systems (state machine + modular weapon/ability architecture) to support multi-developer teams. Also designed College Football 2025/2026 challenge content grounded in real football culture and research, improved broken data-driven toolsets via spreadsheet formula work, and partnered with economy to rebalance rewards by rapidly shipping additional challenges.”

“Game designer with shipped experience creating and tuning alternative modes for a beer-pong-inspired title (Bounce Shot), including convention playtests that turned modes into fan favorites and sparked community-run tournaments. Also contributed to late-game retention improvements on Deer Hunter 2014 by increasing mission variety through themed animal randomization, generating organic buzz across forums and social channels. Prototypes quickly in UE5 Blueprints and writes implementation-ready mode specs with UX/animation/economy considerations.”

“Full-stack engineer currently at Southern Glazer’s who built and owned a real-time commercial finance expense analytics dashboard end-to-end (Next.js App Router + TypeScript), including post-launch monitoring, data quality checks, and stakeholder-driven iteration. Strong data/analytics backend experience (Postgres modeling and Databricks Delta Lake pipelines) with demonstrated performance wins—e.g., cutting a key reconciliation query from 8–12s to <400ms and improving frontend load time ~40% with a 25% bounce-rate drop at Verizon.”

“Data Software Tools Analyst at Q.ai through rapid growth and a $2B Apple acquisition who led an internal CMS for participant/PII workflows using Next.js (App Router) + FastAPI/Postgres with strong security controls (JWT + Postgres RLS). Also drove a major frontend architecture shift toward React Server Components, reporting ~4x faster page loads, and has experience building durable realtime collaboration systems with Supabase/SvelteKit and server-centric state management.”

“Senior design robotics engineer on a "Grocery Robot" project selected for the final round of the $10K SICK Challenge, owning ROS2 system design and behavior-tree-based task orchestration across multiple independently developed modules. Also implemented I2C/ESP32 collision avoidance, IK control for a robotic arm, and a Node.js ordering system, with additional research experience using RPLIDAR-based SLAM.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production-grade Python microservices and AWS platforms, including a hybrid Lambda + ECS Fargate architecture managed with Terraform and CI/CD. Has hands-on reliability experience (JWT/OAuth, timeouts, retries, centralized error classification) and built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL pipelines consolidating PostgreSQL/RDS, MongoDB, and S3 sources into curated partitioned Parquet datasets. Demonstrated measurable SQL tuning impact (8 minutes to 25 seconds) and disciplined legacy-to-modern migrations with parity validation and UAT sign-off.”

“Customer-facing software engineer who builds configurable, extensible solutions under vague requirements (e.g., a bin-packing-style resource allocation feature) and iterates via frequent sandbox deployments and customer testing. Has hands-on experience integrating multiple shipping APIs, navigating outdated/unclear documentation, and resolving production issues quickly through log-driven debugging and safe rollback procedures.”

Notable for modernizing legacy batch workflows into event-driven architectures with measurable impact (35% faster risk calculations, 30% better accuracy) and scaling to 2x volume using reliability patterns like idempotency, retries, and staged rollouts.”

“Frontend engineer who has owned delivery as the only FE developer on a client project (Eltel), stepping into UX/UI and occasionally supporting backend while modernizing a React codebase incrementally. Known for replacing heavy legacy third-party UI libraries with simpler custom React components to improve performance and maintainability, and for working effectively in Scrum teams with strong QA practices (e.g., high unit test coverage and Playwright E2E where possible).”
