Vetted Swift Professionals

“Built an end-to-end mobile + web Q&A marketplace connecting users with professionals, including real-time chat and Stripe-based monetization (products/subscriptions). Hands-on with scaling Firebase/Firestore (subcollections, composite indexing, pagination) and mobile caching/sync challenges. Also created an internal AI-driven report generator that turned chatbot outputs into curated graphs and PDFs for marketing, iterating based on stakeholder feedback.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Backend engineer (IpserLab) who owned Python services for a production quiz/analytics platform, focusing on reliability and low-latency behavior under peak load. Hands-on with Kubernetes + Docker deployments and GitHub Actions CI/CD in a GitOps-style workflow, including solving configuration drift and enabling fast rollbacks. Also implemented Kafka-based event streaming with idempotent consumers and strong observability (lag tracking, structured logging, alerting).”

“Startup-focused engineering leader applying for a CTO role; previously served as founding CTO of a tech startup and held engineering/architecture roles across several others. Evaluates new ventures through market research and market demand, and emphasizes building from the ground up with strong teams (has not personally participated in fundraising).”

“Software developer with EdPlus experience building pragmatic internal tools (Next.js/TypeScript) and cloud automations (AWS) that feed Google Sheets and Looker Studio dashboards for operational visibility across 30+ student workers. Also worked on an IEEE Xplore-published missing-person tracker using a SPARQL graph database on Azure with a TypeScript/React frontend, and has experience navigating legacy access constraints (OpenVPN) while enabling remote VR previews via ngrok.”
