“Lifecycle/CRM marketer from Churchome who led a mobile app onboarding and re-engagement program using behavior-based segmentation, in-app/push messaging, and AI-assisted chat. Drove ~20% lift in early-stage engagement, improved 30-day retention, and reduced support load through automated chat flows and rapid A/B-driven iteration.”

“Technical founder/engineering leader who has repeatedly built organizations and platforms from zero to scale, including co-founding Direct Derm and creating a full stack system now handling hundreds of thousands of dermatology consultations. Experienced in MVP-led execution to unlock funding, scaling teams with a mix of in-house and offshore talent, and leading API-first/serverless architecture with release-based security scanning and annual pen testing.”

“Customer success leader (Director of Customer Engagement at PlutoShift; also experience at Truework) focused on enterprise lifecycle ownership, stakeholder mapping, and VoC-driven product influence. Led cross-functional efforts to ship a reporting capability requested by customers, improving adoption and loyalty, and uses tools like Looker/Tableau plus deep customer discovery to diagnose issues like ineffective onboarding even when usage metrics look strong.”

“QA automation engineer who owned an end-to-end, device-integrated mobile regression suite for Tandem’s insulin-pump-connected mobile app, covering pairing/connectivity/data sync and catching contract mismatches and firmware-related connectivity regressions. Strong in Cypress/JavaScript automation, CI gating in GitHub Actions, and diagnosing production-impacting sync issues using logs and API traces while influencing requirements early to improve testability and UX.”

Director-level FinTech and Product Leader specializing in AI recruiting and iOS voice apps

Sacramento, CA8y exp

“Built a production voice-first fitness coaching/logging system ("Hey Coach") that routes headphone audio, transcribes speech, and uses LLMs to parse workouts into structured data with human-in-the-loop QA and A/B-tested improvements. Also brings a commercial background: led capital markets at a Series A fintech securing $250M+ in commitments and drove early GTM at WorkHQ.com, landing its first Fortune 500 customer.”

“Unity/C# game developer with experience shipping F2P mobile systems, including loot/reward mechanics backed by probability/rarity/economy design and validated via unit tests, code reviews, and analytics instrumentation. Has implemented server-authoritative multiplayer state sync with matchmaking/RoomID flow, network variables/RPCs, and robust disconnect + reconnection state recovery.”

“Operations-focused analytics candidate with hands-on experience turning messy production and QA data into clean reporting tables using SQL and Python. They have built repeatable Excel-based KPI workflows, defined practical manufacturing performance metrics, and used machine/shift segmentation plus stakeholder-friendly dashboards to reduce defects and improve production efficiency.”

“AI/ML engineer who led Impacter AI’s production deployment of a specialized outreach LLM (CharmedLLM) fine-tuned on GPT-4.1, cutting API costs ~40% while boosting outreach effectiveness ~60%. Built the supporting MLOps and data infrastructure (MLflow, Kubernetes, PySpark, Kafka) and has agentic AI experience from University of Dayton, using LangChain + RAG and vector search (Pinecone) to improve reliability and reduce hallucinations.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer with production experience at Allstate building an end-to-end document intelligence workflow for insurance operations—automating document intake, classification, and risk signal extraction. Emphasizes high-reliability design for regulated/high-stakes outputs using schema enforcement, confidence thresholds, validation rules, and human-in-the-loop routing, with metric-driven offline evaluation and production monitoring.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer who built a designer-driven, remotely configurable ability system using JSON configs hosted on PlayFab, including runtime tracking and pooled VFX to handle frequent casts. Has shipped contract VR/AR work (HTC Vive, HoloLens) with strong performance focus (90 FPS) and also understands mobile live-service constraints like KPI integrations, memory/build size, and battery/CPU optimization.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and AI/LLM RAG platforms

San Jose, CA2y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built and operated a data-driven analytics platform using Next.js App Router/Server Components and TypeScript, owning post-launch monitoring and performance/stability work. Demonstrated measurable wins in analytics performance (e.g., cutting query latency from ~1s to ~200ms) through indexing, query-plan analysis, and precomputation/caching, and has experience designing durable multi-step backend workflows with retries, idempotency, DLQ, and time-correct ordering.”

Principal Real-Time 3D Software Engineer specializing in Unity/Unreal simulation and HMI

Dubai, UAE16y exp

“Gameplay-focused Unity developer who prioritizes tight, fair-feeling controls—implemented a custom raycast-based character movement system (avoiding Unity physics) to make platforming more deterministic and difficulty tuning more reliable. Has prototyped multiplayer in both Unity (Photon tic-tac-toe replication prototype) and Unreal Engine (shared workshop/crafting environment), and actively uses AI tools (Copilot + asset generation) to speed prototyping and documentation.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience at Western Union and Aptly (for Microsoft), building production systems spanning React/TypeScript frontends and .NET Core/microservices backends. Has delivered an engineer-facing diagnostics/configuration console with TanStack Query caching/background refresh and has hands-on experience hardening transaction-processing workflows with Kafka, Azure Functions, and Resilience4j, plus Postgres modeling and query optimization.”

“Application-focused software engineer working on AI-heavy products, with hands-on experience building end-to-end document processing, retrieval, and configurable workflow systems. Particularly strong in combining React/TypeScript UX, FastAPI/Postgres backend design, and LLM workflow reliability improvements through validation, prompt iteration, and reusable abstractions.”

“Engineering/product leader in early-stage environments who has repeatedly driven major pivots and scaling efforts: pandemic-era refactor at NameCoach and multi-community expansion at Nolodex (now ~20 communities). Comfortable going from executive roadmap/stakeholder alignment to hands-on implementation (e.g., webhooks), and has led architecture shifts (monolith-to-distributed, Heroku-to-AWS) while managing outsourced/offshore teams through organizational friction.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on experience building end-to-end data pipelines and Spring Boot services, including systems processing up to 1 million records per day. Demonstrates practical strength in reliability engineering, API versioning, external data ingestion, and early-stage delivery with CI/CD, observability, and pragmatic architecture choices.”
