Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in real-time platforms and AI tools

Cambridge, MA3y exp

“Early-career full-stack engineer with unusual depth in mission-critical environments: helped build a cybersecurity operations platform from scratch as the third engineer and shipped it to the National Election Commission of South Korea. Also worked on defense-focused situational awareness software, combining React/WebGL frontend performance work with backend data transformation for real-time weather and map overlays.”

“Candidate brings an operator-to-founder profile with leadership experience in IT and Business Systems and a strong grasp of how ideas become venture-backable products. They speak fluently about startup evaluation criteria such as TAM, technical defensibility, speed to scale, and AI differentiation, and appear especially motivated by building solutions end-to-end in startup or venture studio environments.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AR, UI/UX, and interactive applications

12y exp

“AR/Unity-focused engineer who built a multi-user whiteboarding app for smart glasses, including vector-based collaborative drawing, spatial object persistence, and a voice-driven AI assistant that could manipulate the scene through custom tools. Their work spans real-time networking, spatial UX, and LLM integration, with systems robust enough that some features were reused by other developers internally.”

“Software engineer with Intuit experience shipping an end-to-end real-time financial insights product on AWS, using event-driven architecture with Kafka and Spark Streaming to process millions of records with low latency. Also delivers customer-facing React + TypeScript dashboards and has hands-on production operations experience, including resolving a database scaling incident via read replicas, query tuning, and connection pooling.”

“Worked on Sophia the humanoid robot, building production animation pipelines and enhancing human-robot interaction via perception and behavior orchestration. Experienced in stabilizing noisy perception-driven state transitions and designing smooth, user-centered behavioral flows, collaborating closely with artists, animators, and experience designers to translate creative intent into measurable system behavior.”

“AI Product Manager who also operates as a product marketer/CRM lifecycle lead, focused on behavior-driven onboarding and retention. Has delivered measurable growth through segmentation, multi-channel lifecycle programs, and experimentation (e.g., activation +23%, TTFV -30%, retention +14%), and led a cross-functional chatbot integration that improved course completion (+23%) while reducing refunds (-15%).”

Junior Game Designer specializing in AI-driven systems and interactive narrative

Irvine, CA2y exp

“Game economy/progression designer who owned an end-to-end multi-currency economy for a top-down kitchen management sim, balancing cash/reputation/XP with sinks like spoilage, maintenance, and rent. Uses telemetry + structured playtests and spreadsheet simulations to tune pacing, reduce mid-game churn, and prevent late-game inflation by adjusting efficiency/skill curves and phase-based balancing.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java/Spring Boot and cloud microservices

Houston, TX4y exp

“Backend-focused Python/Flask engineer who has built authentication/profile services with clean modular architecture (blueprints + service layer) and tuned SQLAlchemy/Postgres for scale using indexing, query rewrites, and pagination. Has production-style integration experience for AI/ML via TensorFlow Serving and OpenAI APIs (batching, rate limiting, caching), plus multi-tenant data isolation and high-throughput background processing with Celery/Redis and idempotent jobs.”

“Full-stack engineer who has built and shipped production Next.js (App Router + TypeScript) applications end-to-end, including an authenticated dashboard with protected routing and post-deploy troubleshooting. Designed Postgres schemas for collaboration/analytics (users/workspaces/sessions/events) and achieved ~60% query-time reduction through indexing and query-plan-driven optimization, with a strong emphasis on accessibility and server-first React architecture.”

“Built Bargain Bricks end-to-end as a solo creator, handling product ideation, design, backend, APIs, website, and native iOS/Android apps. They actively maintain and iterate on the product, which has over 1,000 downloads, and have improved conversion through UI changes that surfaced the best deal above the fold.”

“Backend/ML-focused engineer with experience spanning fintech, sales enablement, and medtech, including a Capital One capstone and a Singapore medtech startup internship. Stands out for owning end-to-end AI/backend systems, from a GenAI sales pitch platform that cut prep time by 50% to an ultrasound-guidance MVP for non-expert operators in a highly ambiguous domain.”
