“Built a live free-to-play web-based financial market simulation game (YouTube-channel stock market) as a hobby project, now serving 3000+ users. Implemented core F2P systems including gacha, timed progression gates, and analytics-driven monitoring of engagement and economy health using a TypeScript/Python stack with Redis and Postgres.”

“Built a college AI chatbot during a master’s program, owning the full Python/Flask backend plus Google Gemini integration and a Postgres persistence layer (course info + conversation history), including caching/performance tuning. Also deployed and migrated ETL/ELT workloads from AWS Lambda into Kubernetes/EKS with GitHub Actions-based GitOps CI/CD, IRSA permissions, and Secrets Manager/S3/Postgres connectivity.”

“Data scientist with hands-on experience building an XGBoost-based customer segmentation/churn risk scoring model used by sales and marketing teams. Emphasizes production-grade practices—efficient SQL for large-scale data pulls, rigorous data validation/testing, and scalable, modular Python code designed to support multiple customer types.”

“QA automation engineer who owned an end-to-end automated regression suite for a PlayStation digital store flow (login through checkout/payment), building a hybrid POM/data-driven framework from scratch with Selenium/TestNG/Cucumber and also using Playwright/TypeScript and Cypress. Integrated the suite into Jenkins CI/CD with nightly runs and reporting, improved coverage (happy + negative paths), and reduced release risk by catching critical issues like session timeout and transaction/payment defects before production.”

“Data engineer/backend data services builder with end-to-end ownership of production pipelines for a Pfizer client, combining Python/SQL ingestion and transformation with strong data quality controls. Delivered measurable performance gains (~30% faster queries) and improved reliability through monitoring/alerting (Splunk, Prometheus/Grafana), structured logging, and incident response; also built internal REST APIs with versioning and caching and set up GitLab-based CI/CD with containerized deployments.”

Mid-level Game Developer specializing in technical animation and Unreal Engine 5

Frisco, TX3y exp

“Gameplay animation/technical animator with Borderlands 4 experience, owning UE5 Animation Blueprint systems end-to-end (including a 3D flight AnimGraph for the "Witness" drone). Built procedural "Gestalt" NPC faces by layering authored facial poses for near-infinite variation, and improved runtime performance via thread-safe AnimBP function isolation while actively bridging animator/engineer collaboration in Unreal.”

“Candidate has hands-on project experience in healthcare analytics, using SQL, Python, and Power BI to analyze CMS hospital readmissions and HRRP penalty risk in Florida. Their work centers on turning messy CMS flat files into reporting-ready datasets, benchmarking hospitals against national references, and surfacing financial risk through dashboards.”

“Backend engineer who built an AI-powered grant matchmaking platform for researchers and professors, combining semantic matching, embeddings, and Semantic Scholar enrichment with rule-based eligibility filters. Stands out for pragmatic AI engineering: they focused on reliability through confidence scoring, logging, manual validation, and production-minded backend design.”

“Backend/ML systems engineer who built a Flask + PostgreSQL internal ticketing platform and demonstrates strong database/ORM performance depth (indexes, partitioning, RLS multi-tenancy). Notably optimized a high-throughput attachment OCR/embedding pipeline with batching, deduplication, and Redis caching, cutting median latency from 45s to 10s and reducing worker cost by 35% while increasing throughput 4x.”

“Front-end developer with experience spanning agency, product, and brand-driven web work, including Just Eat and SEO-focused client projects.
