Vetted Technical Leads

“Frontend engineer who led the Dash Merchant App and Backoffice platform (React/TypeScript/Redux) supporting $50M+ in monthly transactions. Focused on scalable architecture and reliability—introduced typed API layers, centralized error handling, and performance optimizations (including ~40% load-time reduction) while driving team adoption through incremental refactors, templates, and pairing.”

“Lead Unity engineer who shipped a Meta Quest VR free-to-play poker title, tackling hand-tracking controls, physics-driven chip interactions, and large-room multiplayer with anti-cheat needs. Also independently built a mobile real-time multiplayer racing game through beta, including backend, progression, on-demand track delivery, and a custom car physics engine.”

“Engineering/CTO-style leader with hands-on architecture experience who has driven end-to-end modernization of a manual antiques auction operation—building centralized web-accessible data systems, digitizing historical records via OCR/freelancers, and defining profitability-focused KPIs with an eye toward predictive modeling. Emphasizes provider-agnostic, containerized SaaS architecture to avoid vendor lock-in and has experience scaling a small engineering team with ownership-based culture and lightweight processes.”

“Frontend tech lead for a university e-signature platform (Next.js/React/TypeScript) replacing paper-based signing. Built a trustworthy multi-signer PDF signing workflow with backend-as-source-of-truth state handling, strong quality gates (typed contracts, linting, pre-commit, PR reviews), and performance work like Web Workers for heavy PDF operations.”

“Founder building a hiring-focused startup who has engaged with venture investors but is prioritizing direct end-user traction through email marketing and other outreach before returning to raise a seed round. Has experience working with startups that have already raised seed funding and demonstrates a structured approach to market validation (customer conversations, landing pages) prior to heavy development.”

“Game QA professional who also operates as a developer/lead on a passion project (DCGO), building internal tools and processes that make testers more effective and reduce dev/test bottlenecks. Has shipped enterprise/VR training experiences and created a structured approach to testing procedural generation (flowcharts + scenario clustering), achieving 0 client-reported issues post-launch for a key feature; also drove a Tilt Five SDK rendering fix through detailed reporting.”

“Frontend developer (self-described intermediate/junior+) who built and released an end-to-end portfolio game (“Dot and Boxes”) in ~3 weeks using React state + Redux, including an in-app guided tour. In a prior role, worked on a full UI + flow redesign for a long booking workflow, focusing on reusable components and integrating Redux while dealing with complex/duplicated state and limited access to external designers via a PM intermediary.”
