As the sole Intelygenz engineer on the project, they diagnosed a costly Terraform/GitLab CI/CD resource-leak issue in AWS and implemented a cleanup redesign that eliminated orphaned resources and reduced client cloud spend. Also shipped applied-AI ticket triage suggestions via API integration and built an end-to-end Gmail-to-ticket ingestion workflow.”

“Game developer who implemented the battle simulation/progression system for "Gladiator Imperium," focusing on turn logic, stat-driven combat, and player-facing feel through UI and camera polish. Also has experience modernizing a 10+ year legacy project by refactoring into new frameworks and even migrating to a different programming language, leveraging AI to interpret undocumented code.”

“Frontend-focused engineer who led a full-scale CMS/dashboard build using React (with TypeScript), plus Node.js microservice APIs on AWS Lambda and MySQL. Emphasizes scalable component architecture, feature-based code organization, performance profiling via Chrome DevTools, and disciplined release practices (CI/CD, UAT gating, production monitoring) in fast-paced delivery cycles.”

“Entrepreneur/fintech product builder who raised a $100K pre-seed from ex-Google/Microsoft execs and built a real-time, direct-to-vendor bill pay micropayments platform. Previously helped scale Norton LifeLock to 1M users (2003) and also created Karma LA, a fraud-resistant, verified donation system (including VA veteran verification) aimed at improving trust and conversion in giving.”

“UK-based Unity/VR generalist who shipped a Meta Quest VR installation to art galleries worldwide while at Julian Opie Studio, acting as sole programmer and producing the art pipeline. Built a custom Spatial Anchors-based spatial mapping system with little documentation and developed real-world operational procedures to keep installations stable for exhibitions with hundreds of daily visitors. Also contracted as a 3D generalist at Blue Zoo, producing all assets/animations and environment setup for a Tate Gallery kids game, finishing ahead of schedule.”

“Unity game developer who built a context-sensitive movement and camera system for a grid-based dungeon crawler and used DOTween for key gameplay animations. Worked at Chimera Entertainment on Songs of Silence, contributing via bug fixes, working within an existing Photon Fusion protocol, and implementing a UI-heavy in-game lexicon; also leverages AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to accelerate editor/tooling and gameplay scripting.”

“Built and operated a real-time student event/party discovery platform with map-based search, RSVP, and authentication using React/TypeScript, Node.js, and Firebase Firestore. Demonstrates strong backend correctness under concurrency (transactions, idempotency, retries/backoff) and solid API product thinking (versioning, Swagger docs, structured errors, cursor pagination), including custom geospatial querying via Haversine filtering.”
