Vetted Testing Professionals

“Post-sales SAP CRM implementation professional with experience at IBM and Malam Team, owning full lifecycle delivery from requirements and process design through configuration, testing, and end-user training. Notably built an SAP UI5 service center dashboard that cut SLA-miss tickets from 20% to 5% and regularly drove cross-functional alignment to unblock complex technical issues.”

Executive technology and operations leader specializing in connected vehicle SaaS and IoT

Novi, MI28y exp

“Candidate indicated they do not have a business plan or startup, are not familiar with the venture capital/accelerator landscape, and explicitly requested to withdraw their application because the position does not seem like the right fit.”

“Ad operations-focused paid media candidate with broad exposure across major DSPs and ad servers, including DV360, AppNexus, The Trade Desk, Amazon DSP, CM360, and Sizmek. Their experience centers on campaign setup, tagging, QA, reporting, and diagnosing tracking/viewability issues rather than owning budget strategy, making them potentially strong for execution-heavy media operations roles.”

“Robotics software engineer at Tesla who led end-to-end development of a distributed real-time control and orchestration platform for autonomous systems. Deep production ROS 2 experience (nav2, slam_toolbox), with demonstrated wins reducing end-to-end latency 25–30%+ via profiling, multithreaded executors, and QoS tuning, plus simulation and deployment at scale using Gazebo/Webots, Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD.”

“Compensation and payroll professional with hands-on experience owning U.S. payroll validation, reconciliation, and exception management, plus supporting compensation cycles across base pay, bonuses, and incentives. Stands out for building Excel-based audit and validation tools, resolving HRIS/payroll/finance data mismatches, and strengthening controls to improve payroll accuracy and compensation consistency.”

“Robotics engineer who built a 6-axis force-torque sensor system end-to-end at ROAM Lab, including electronics, low-level drivers, and ROS2 live inference with time-series deep learning (ultimately a 1D ResNet) to handle highly noisy, session-shifting signals. Also upgraded tactile manipulation models to time-series inputs by modifying long-standing ROS architectures, and has prior experience in defense (L3Harris) with production-grade testing and code review practices; published work: arxiv.org/abs/2410.03481.”

“QA professional with ~7 years of experience working in Scrum teams, involved from requirements and user story creation through test strategy/planning, execution, defect triage in Jira, and verification. Highlighted catching multiple issues early on an AI-driven project to avoid production regressions and escalating a blocker where a frequently used UI was broken to get it fixed quickly. Has not shipped an AAA game title.”

Principal Automation & Robotics Engineer specializing in lab automation deployments

San Diego, CA4y exp

“Lab automation engineer building an automated weighing robot system for Lilly’s analytical chemistry group, integrating a 6-axis Mecademic robot, Mettler Toledo balance, and vision/barcode verification with safety protocols for live lab operation. Experienced in production Python for instrument control, data processing, and CV/ML, including authenticated Data Lake API integrations with fault handling. Also improved automated sample storage throughput 2–3x via pick-order optimization and partners closely with scientists to deliver MVP-to-production experimental automation workflows.”
