Executive technology leader specializing in big data, AI/ML, and SaaS platforms

Escondido, CA28y exp

“Hands-on IT/engineering executive who has led high-impact architecture changes and compliance-driven data systems. Notably built an internally developed columnar database at Troparé (with dual-support UI for legacy/new DBs) and shipped an MVP in 3–4 months with dramatic performance improvements, and previously delivered PCI/opt-out compliant deletion workflows while addressing DB performance and migrations.”

“Frontend engineer who built the full frontend for gameofstreaks.com using React/Next.js with an emphasis on responsive design, accessibility, SEO, and performance profiling. Has experience refactoring legacy HTML/CSS/JS sites into reusable React components and shipping quickly with unit tests, CI/CD, and branch-based deployments; also collaborates with designers in hackathon settings (e.g., an AI interview practice app).”

“Healthcare product leader who rebuilt the NextCare Anywhere urgent care platform across mobile and web, dramatically improving booking conversion from 2% to 34% by simplifying the patient journey and fixing key caregiver workflows. Also brings emerging AI leadership in regulated environments, having helped define AI policy and pilot human-supervised workflows that delivered 30-40x documentation gains with 100% first-pass approval.”

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in Healthcare IT

San Francisco, CA27y exp

“Founding/sole engineer who has built multiple healthcare products from scratch, spanning medical billing, cardiology triage, and cardiac device monitoring. Particularly compelling for healthtech and AI roles: they combine full-stack TypeScript/AWS execution with strong product judgment in regulated settings, including shipping voice-enabled RAG workflows and rejecting unsafe AI automation when simpler human-in-the-loop UX was the right answer.”

“Unity/C# engineer with hands-on experience building cross-platform VR/mobile prototypes at Verizon Labs, including a networked VR cinema and virtual office application. Particularly strong in performance engineering: they describe custom update architecture, shader work, and low-level iOS optimization that enabled 60 FPS while rendering HD video textures and running voice chat simultaneously. They also bring adjacent computer vision integration experience from Nomad-Go, with a practical focus on latency, inference/render separation, and data consistency.”

“Healthcare-focused software engineer/lead who has delivered customer-facing portals and internal call-center tools, including rebuilding a legacy Adobe Flash call center app into a modern TypeScript frontend with NgRx state management. Experienced leading onshore/offshore teams, integrating healthcare APIs, and driving adoption by visiting call centers to capture user workflows and bake them into regression testing—work that proved especially valuable during COVID-era shifts to video appointments.”

Director-level Product Leader specializing in consumer growth and digital platforms

Rio Dell, CA13y exp

“Product leader with strong consumer and education-oriented product experience, including personalization, trust/safety moderation, and AI-enabled workflows. Stands out for pairing user research with measurable outcomes—such as boosting Spanish review output by 165% through AI translation—and for a thoughtful philosophy that AI should amplify human judgment and support rather than replace it.”

“Engineering leader managing two 6-person teams across internal tools and 14+ public brand websites, while staying hands-on in architecture and system design. Particularly interesting for teams exploring AI-assisted software delivery: they implemented a customizable multi-agent BMad workflow with human review gates across PM, architecture, development, QA, and DevOps.”

Senior Multimedia Producer specializing in marketing, promotions, and training content

Columbus, OH18y exp

“Experienced editor/motion graphics professional with deep Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects expertise spanning broadcast TV spots, music videos, social/web content, and feature-length films. Notably worked on the YouTube channel Black20—nominated for Best Web Series and awarded G4TV's "Kings of DotComedy"—with videos reaching millions of viewers.”

“Product and design leader who has built 0-to-1 products across proptech and healthtech, including founding GoodFences and creating an explainable AI architectural review engine for HOAs. Combines deep user research, strong AI product judgment, and team-building experience, with a personal connection to educational equity as an immigrant and parent in the public school system.”

“Marketing motion/video creative with end-to-end ownership (storyboards, design, motion, edit) and a strong performance mindset (first-frame hooks, pacing, above-benchmark watch time). Built a scalable, compliance-safe Figma design system for a Merck vaccine website with locked components and medical/legal sign-offs, and produces high-volume multi-format social video via modular CapCut/After Effects templates in a fully remote, async workflow.”

“Brand and growth marketer with experience refining Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield’s brand across 62+ mall locations, using family-focused event programming to increase attendance and tracking results via ticket sales and website sign-ins. Brings 15 years in the entertainment/music/creator ecosystem, including artist representation and label deal experience, and applies that partnership mindset to multi-channel campaigns (owned web + third-party sites) and SEO-driven acquisition.”

“AI/ML infrastructure-focused engineer who has built production RAG systems from scratch (Supabase/pgvector + OpenAI embeddings) and iterated using formal eval metrics to improve retrieval quality. Also debugged real-time audio issues in a LiveKit-based pipeline by correlating packet loss with VAD behavior, and has deep experience building brittle, customer-specific financial platform integrations in Python/Playwright (2FA, redirects, token refresh, rate limits).”

“Backend engineer at Cerebrone.ai building cloud-native Flask microservices for an AI-driven automation platform on GCP (Cloud Run/App Engine), including dedicated inference services integrating OpenAI and internal ML pipelines. Demonstrated strong performance and scalability wins across Postgres/SQLAlchemy optimization, multi-tenant (healthcare/HIPAA-grade) data isolation, and high-throughput background processing with Celery/Redis/RabbitMQ, with multiple quantified latency/CPU/throughput improvements.”

“Software engineer with experience across TCS, Rakuten, and USC who has owned production integrations and data pipelines end-to-end. Notably improved a trading platform payment flow by replacing fragile polling with a webhook-driven status system with robust fallbacks, and has shipped LLM-assisted design-to-webpage automation plus evaluation-driven prompt iteration (NYT Connections).”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in React, TypeScript, and microservices

3y exp

“Built and productionized an AI agent-based in-app assistant at ISAFE to guide users through document workflows, piloting with a partner school district and then rolling out across districts. Combines hands-on LLM/agent debugging (logs, fallback rates, state/context tracking) with strong technical demos and sales enablement through live workflows and pilot programs (e.g., Osceola School District).”

“Built and shipped LLM-powered agents including a production RAG research assistant that cut research lookup time from ~20 minutes to ~10–20 seconds using caching, retrieval thresholds, and citation-enforced grounded answers. Also designed multi-step, tool-calling workflows with stateful critique/revision loops and pragmatic monitoring (retry/schema-failure/low-confidence signals) plus normalization/validation layers for messy notes/spreadsheet-style data.”

“Cloud-focused platform/infrastructure engineer centered on AWS and Kubernetes, with hands-on experience building EKS environments via Terraform/Terragrunt, bootstrapping clusters with Cilium and ArgoCD, and integrating persistent storage and backup tooling like EFS/EBS CSI and Velero. While no longer focused on on-prem or hybrid operations, they also bring prior VMware/Hyper-V and migration-to-AWS experience, making them strongest in modern cloud platform engineering roles.”
