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.”

Executive product leader specializing in SaaS, B2B2C, and AI-powered products

Boston, MA13y exp

“Product leader who has repeatedly rebuilt products and teams from the ground up, including turning around Ellevation's struggling Strategies product into a $20M ARR business line and building Trivelta's product and QA organizations from scratch. Also stands out for hands-on AI execution: personally built an LLM-powered incident detection tool that cut issue detection from hours to 30 minutes and then scaled AI adoption across PM and QA teams.”

“Software engineer with 5+ years of experience building and scaling high-traffic web systems, including e-commerce-style purchasing/reservation flows and broker back-office platforms. He has hands-on experience across Next.js front ends, Python integrations, Go load-testing tools, and MySQL/Redis-backed architectures, with notable exposure to financial reporting, MT5 integrations, and commission logic.”

“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.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience shipping operational products in inventory and production management, spanning React/TypeScript frontends and Python, Node.js, and Java/Spring Boot backends. Particularly strong in making complex systems usable and reliable in production, including AI-powered anomaly detection with fallback logic, observability, and user-friendly alerting for non-technical operations teams.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of a customer-facing advanced performance metrics experience in the Amazon S3 console, spanning React UI, Python/Node services, Redshift/RDS data access, and AWS IaC/CI-CD with CloudWatch/Route53 operational readiness. Demonstrates strong production instincts around resilience (partial failures, multi-region inconsistencies), progressive rollouts/feature flags, and reliable ETL/integration patterns (idempotency, backfills, reconciliation).”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience migrating a robotics project from ARM to AMD by building a Dockerized environment with PyTorch/CUDA dependencies, improving data processing and battery efficiency. Has integrated ROS 2 nodes for a Time-of-Flight camera and debugged motion-planning issues (tight-turn stopping) using data collection and iterative tuning; also built custom robots in Webots for sensor/actuator-driven behaviors.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who built an end-to-end personalized chatbot service integrating Amazon Redshift context retrieval with Amazon Bedrock, including prompt construction and production-grade reliability controls. Strong platform experience deploying containerized services to Kubernetes with GitOps/ArgoCD, plus hands-on Kafka streaming and phased infrastructure migration execution.”

“Enterprise implementation leader with 10+ years delivering multi-million-dollar B2B/SaaS rollouts across procurement, expense management, legal tech, and fraud/identity platforms. At Amazon Business, managed 12+ concurrent enterprise implementations and owned the full lifecycle from strategy and change management through go-live, with strong executive stakeholder management and governance discipline.”
