Vetted Sprint Planning Professionals

“Software engineer with production experience at DraftKings and SRC, owning high-impact platform changes like early-start lineup validation fixes and a multi-service refactor to support dual-role players (e.g., Ohtani) using backward-compatible, feature-flagged rollouts. Has embedded onsite with military users to rapidly ship improvements to a COP/TAK mapping integration (TrackSync), and leverages AI tools (Claude) to accelerate learning and delivery in new domains (e.g., ESP32 smart deadbolt project).”

“Full-stack engineer who has owned customer-facing AI recommendation and analytics dashboards end-to-end (backend APIs/data processing through React UI, deployment, and monitoring). Demonstrates strong systems thinking around scaling microservices—using observability, caching, async workflows, and resilience patterns—and also built an internal ops dashboard that became the default tool for on-call incident reviews.”

“Operations/process leader with experience in SaaS and RPO environments, known for turning tribal knowledge into scalable, measurable systems. Has built documentation and knowledge-management standards for 90+ person teams, used data and change agents to drive adoption, and delivered major productivity gains (~300%) through training and automated reporting. Also led cross-functional process mapping and implemented partner onboarding workflows directly in Salesforce to improve SI partner enablement.”

“Supply chain/procurement professional (Maersk) who leads end-to-end freight sourcing initiatives using heavy analytics (SAP/SQL/Python/Excel) to drive measurable savings. Known for automating sourcing workflows (60% faster bid evaluation) and building Power BI dashboards to monitor contract compliance and supplier performance post-implementation.”

“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.”

“iOS player-coach who led end-to-end development of real-time customer support chat and unified notification systems for T-Mobile’s iOS app using SwiftUI, Firebase, WebSockets, and Core Data (including offline handling). Drove measurable reliability/latency gains (~30%) through a major notification refactor and owned a high-severity push-notification incident from rollback through RCA and backward-compatible hotfix, while also scaling team process and people management.”

“Backend engineer who built a Logistics-as-a-Service platform in Go, proactively refactoring a monolithic REST service into gRPC microservices to improve performance and maintainability. Led a 3-person team with disciplined code reviews, Dockerized DB migrations, and a canary-style rollout (5% traffic) monitored for latency and failures; also implemented JWT/OAuth2 RBAC and production-minded edge-case handling in an ordering system.”

“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.”

“Backend engineer focused on Python/FastAPI microservices, with hands-on experience deploying to AWS (EKS/ECR) via Jenkins and GitOps-style workflows using ArgoCD. Has built and stabilized real-time Kafka payment-event streaming pipelines and improved production performance under peak load through Redis caching, SQL optimization, and robust retry/DLQ patterns. Also supported phased migrations from on-prem environments to AWS with gradual traffic shifting and monitoring.”

“Procurement/sourcing professional with hands-on experience selecting and rolling out an analytics dashboard vendor end-to-end—using stakeholder discovery, POCs, and a scoring matrix—then negotiating a ~26% cost reduction and waiving implementation fees. Also demonstrates strong trade compliance instincts by catching and correcting an incorrect tariff code that would have increased duties ~18%, and uses structured milestone/risk tracking (RAG) to keep OTD and approvals on track.”

“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.”

“Backend engineer at Goldman Sachs who deployed internal LLM-powered utilities to summarize operational logs/tickets, with a strong emphasis on data sensitivity and reliability. Built deterministic workflows with template-based prompts, confidence checks, and rule-based fallbacks, and used monitoring plus failure-rate metrics to tune performance; also has hands-on Temporal orchestration experience for resilient async backend jobs.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience improving performance and reliability in financial workflows (settlements/loan processing), spanning React/TypeScript and Angular frontends plus Spring Boot microservices. Has delivered measurable latency improvements using PostgreSQL optimization and Redis caching, and has operated Kafka-based systems at scale with idempotent processing and backoff/retry strategies while iterating internal ops tooling with support/finance teams.”

“Built and owned major parts of a real-time distributed AI fraud-detection pipeline (ingestion, inference microservice integration, and automated action layer), optimizing latency and observability and reducing false positives by ~35%. Understands ROS/ROS2 concepts (nodes/topics/services) and planned hands-on ramp-up via ROS2 pub/sub exercises and Gazebo simulation, but has not worked on physical robots or ROS in production.”

“Senior engineer/tech lead with 18+ years building large-scale distributed applications, specializing in performance and reliability improvements. Recently owned multiple apps on an email personalization team, shipping major optimizations (including a push-update feature and audience-count architecture redesign) that reportedly lifted system performance from ~50% to ~99% while also leading code standards, reviews, and mentoring.”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on buyer/distribution product lines, building scalable purchasing/planning frameworks and modernizing workflows. Drove performance and reliability improvements via queue-based async architectures, external API redundancy, and CI/CD automation, and has led production incident response (cache-related) with follow-up playbooks and monitoring. Experienced in high-growth/startup environments, combining hands-on delivery with mentoring, 1:1s, and performance coaching.”

“Full-stack engineer who has owned end-to-end delivery of an internal, customer-facing data visualization product and helped build a data modification pipeline used across the organization for data integrity/governance. Demonstrates pragmatic MVP-driven delivery within sprints and makes performance-oriented architectural decisions (e.g., batching API calls to reduce frontend request volume) in TypeScript/React systems.”

“McKinsey data/ML practitioner who led production deployment of an entity resolution + semantic search platform for unstructured finance and healthcare data, integrating with legacy systems under HIPAA constraints. Deep hands-on stack across transformers (spaCy/HF BERT), embeddings + FAISS, and production MLOps/workflow tooling (Airflow, Docker, CI/CD, Prometheus/Grafana), with reported gains of +30% decision speed and +25% search relevance.”

“Product-focused full-stack engineer with FedEx experience building an internal logistics dashboard for near real-time shipment status and performance metrics using Next.js App Router + TypeScript. Strong in production ownership and performance work—uses React Profiler/Chrome DevTools to eliminate expensive re-renders and applies Postgres indexing/query tuning validated via EXPLAIN ANALYZE to improve dashboard responsiveness.”
