Vetted Sprint Planning Professionals

“Frontend engineer with 6 years of experience building AI-heavy React/TypeScript products, including an article summarization/report editor in Next.js, streaming chat interfaces, and a modular workflow tool for AI-generated video production. Stands out for diagnosing issues across the full stack—from React rendering and API payload design to Nginx streaming configuration—and for structuring maintainable frontend systems with multiple moving parts.”

“Full-stack engineer with very strong TypeScript/React frontend depth and Python backend ownership across Django, FastAPI, and distributed systems. Built and operated production platforms on AWS/Kubernetes, including a distributed code execution system with PostgreSQL/Redis reliability patterns and an LLM-based intent classification layer that they debugged and hardened in production. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can improve performance, reliability, and architecture in fast-moving product environments.”

“Product/BA-oriented builder who combines AI tools, lightweight web delivery, and workflow design to turn ambiguous needs into usable solutions. Has experience spanning GitHub content intelligence dashboards, AI-agent customer training prototypes, federal healthcare cloud onboarding at the VA, and modernization of a black-box MS Access process into a transparent online workflow for the Millennium Challenge Corporation.”

Senior AI Product Manager specializing in healthcare and FinTech automation

Santa Clara, CA13y exp

“Bay Area-based consultant with 15 years spanning senior product management and product delivery, focused on digital transformation, automation, and legacy modernization. He brings regulated-domain experience with Kaiser Permanente, Express Scripts, and OrthoBank, plus practical AI prototyping experience in insurance document classification using TensorFlow and workflow-focused product design.”

“Backend engineer focused on real-time, event-driven systems (Java microservices) handling high-frequency data with low-latency and reliability requirements. Strong in Kafka-based asynchronous architectures, Redis caching, JVM/query tuning, and scalable deployments on Docker/Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD; no direct ROS/robotics experience but has closely related distributed communication patterns.”

“Unity VR multiplayer developer who shipped Titan Isles (Quest & Steam) and owned most networked gameplay features. Prioritized and delivered a New Game Plus feature in the first post-launch patch based on creator/review feedback and analytics, supported by automated Unity tests and live-ops triage via Unity Diagnostics and Shortcut.”

“Built a production Apple-focused LLM Q&A bot that answers user issues using similar past discussion records, including large-scale scraping and cleaning of thousands of forum threads. Used BeautifulSoup + Playwright for static/dynamic extraction, PySpark + NLP for preprocessing, and LangChain RAG with a custom response-likeliness metric to evaluate performance.”

“Frontend-focused engineer with internship experience at eXp Realty and Pulse InfoFrame, building survey platforms and a drag-and-drop survey management UI in React + TypeScript. Notably helped execute a post-deployment migration from DynamoDB to Amazon RDS to enable scalable SQL aggregation (tested with ~70k survey instances), and monitored rollout via CloudWatch/Cloudflare logs while driving QA and load testing.”

“Full-stack engineer with recent enterprise experience building Spring Boot/Spring Cloud microservices on AWS (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB) and a React/TypeScript frontend. Has hands-on experience solving microservice communication timeouts via API Gateway/load balancing and implementing centralized JWT-based security, plus performance work for large data workloads using indexing, caching, and async processing.”

“India-based engineering leader/player-coach managing ~20 people and three products, while still shipping hands-on in Python/Golang across 8–10 microservices deployed on GCP (Kubernetes) and AWS (ECS). Has led end-to-end delivery (design through QA) and owned production reliability improvements (including building a Slack alerting bot). Strong domain exposure in utilities (MDM/meter readings, billing/rate calculations) and financial integrations (GL code tagging), plus side projects in Golang around LLM API cost-optimization.”

“QA professional with end-to-end ownership who combines automated, rule-based data validation (expected vs actual) with structured CAPA practices (5 Whys, Pareto, SOP updates, in-line checks, and hands-on training). Experienced coordinating multi-workstream QA timelines via centralized dashboards, weekly cadence, and escalations with third-party/global stakeholders.”

“Built production LLM-powered mobile apps using OpenAI APIs on a serverless Firebase/Google Cloud Run stack, including a prayer app serving global users across five major religions with customized prayer generation. Stands out for adding reconciliation and scoring layers to validate non-deterministic AI outputs before showing them to users, and for iterating prompts based on logged failure patterns.”

“Senior-level software engineer who uses AI pragmatically rather than blindly—leveraging Microsoft Copilot and LLMs for boilerplate, utility functions, and reusable React components while rigorously reviewing output for readability, reuse, and fit with project structure. Brings a strong maintainability mindset and prior experience reviewing code for junior engineers.”

“Built and launched his own free-to-play mobile trivia games (Unity/Xcode/Android Studio), monetizing through IAPs and multiple ad networks (AppLovin/Chartboost/AdMob). Combines hands-on implementation with growth and analytics rigor—Facebook Ads + ASO, and daily tracking of retention, crashes, conversion, and LTV:CAC—plus a clear approach to A/B testing and live events tooling.”
