Vetted UI/UX Design Professionals

“Gameplay engineer with hands-on experience across Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, owning systems from level streaming/teleportation to motion-matched character movement. Has shipped/implemented multiplayer features including GAS-based replication with prediction/reconciliation and a deterministic lockstep runner using fixed-point math. Strong at diagnosing hard-to-repro physics issues and balancing performance/feel (e.g., mobile voxel A* pathfinding at 60 FPS, Chaos destruction tuned to avoid trapping players).”

“Player-coach engineering leader focused on consumer-grade video/multimodal products and high-reliability identity/auth experiences. Led design and implementation of multi-step mobile login/MFA flows with telemetry-driven funnel improvements, shipped Node services and security fixes, and owned auth incidents end-to-end using RUM and step-level instrumentation. Introduced feature-flagged delivery and targeted review/testing practices to speed iteration ~20–30% while keeping login stability high.”

Executive Engineering Leader & Technical Founder specializing in AI automation platforms

San Francisco Bay Area, California20y exp

“Founder/CTO who built and shipped a consumer subscription-bundling platform end-to-end (architecture, implementation, testing) and scaled it to thousands of customers and major partners. Previously led a major reliability overhaul at Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for a Google-Docs-like ed-tech product—boosted observability, introduced incident management, and migrated to a Docker-based scalable architecture. Heavy user of AI tools (Cursor/Claude) for development, testing, and code review, with a strong bias toward lightweight, fast-moving execution.”

“CMU candidate with hands-on experience taking LLM concepts from research prototypes toward production-ready designs (structured outputs, guardrails, failure-scenario evaluation). Also partnered with sales/customer teams at Mazecare to drive adoption with Dontia Alliance (largest dental clinic chain in Singapore) and engaged Singapore government stakeholders, bridging clinical workflow needs with IT security/integration concerns.”

“Candidate does not currently have a business plan or startup and has not raised capital. They have not worked directly in VC/studio/accelerator settings but report being familiar through friends/family and personal interest in joining that ecosystem; they are not committed to entrepreneurship at all costs.”

“Data/ML backend engineer with hands-on production experience spanning RAG services (LlamaIndex/OpenAI) and AWS data platforms. Has delivered Terraform-managed AWS architectures (Lambda + ECS Fargate) with secure secrets handling, built Glue-to-Redshift ETL with schema evolution controls, modernized SAS reporting into Python microservices, and achieved major Redshift query speedups (2+ hours to under 15 minutes).”

“Built an emergency drone-pilot dispatch platform for fire departments, law enforcement, and FEMA, owning it end-to-end from product concept through iOS app, backend dispatch logic, and ongoing iteration. Particularly strong in designing mission-critical, regulation-aware workflows that combine FAA/LAANC compliance, geolocation, flight planning, and even autonomy/computer-vision systems into a reliable operational product.”

“Gameplay engineer with deep Unreal Engine multiplayer/VR experience, including end-to-end implementation of replicated physics for a co-op VR FPS (Final Space: The Rescue) optimized for Meta Quest constraints using profiling-driven network and simulation throttling. Also built physics-driven projectile systems with predictive arcs and tuned hand-tracked vehicle controls for an Apple Vision Pro project using playtest analytics to improve feel.”
