Walnut Creek, CA27y exp

“Banking/credit-union technology executive (CTO/CTIO) who has led modernization and product delivery through major change, including a post-merger roadmap that helped grow a credit union from $600M to $1.5B in 3 years. Hands-on leader who drove cloud microservices/API architecture, introduced CI/CD, and accelerated releases from quarterly to weekly while scaling teams and operating effectively with distributed/remote orgs.”

“Strategy and operations leader with experience spanning Anheuser-Busch and McMaster-Carr, combining large-scale cost ownership, frontline operations leadership, and sourcing strategy. Particularly compelling for operationally intensive roles: they’ve managed a 150-person service organization, owned a ~$750M cost base, built strategy in ambiguous environments, and independently drove an LLM automation pilot that reached 97% accuracy and saved 3 FTEs.”

“ML engineer with 5 years at Stripe building and productionizing real-time fraud detection at massive scale (3M+ transactions/day; $5B+ annual payment volume). Delivered measurable impact (22% accuracy lift, 18% loss reduction, +3–5% authorization rates) and has strong MLOps/orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes, Airflow, MLflow, CI/CD, monitoring/rollback) plus a structured approach to LLM agent/RAG evaluation.”

“Early-stage founder building a service business targeting small clinics, already with one client. Identified the opportunity by helping a family member and then validating needs through direct client conversations; uses AI (including AI agents) for content generation and plans deeper workflow automation to scale cost-effectively.”

“ML/LLM engineer who built and shipped an LLM-powered internal knowledge assistant at Meta, focusing on production-grade RAG to reduce hallucinations and improve trust. Deep experience with scaling and serving (FSDP/DeepSpeed/LoRA, Triton, Kubernetes autoscaling) and reliability practices (Airflow retraining, MLflow versioning, monitoring with rollback), including sub-100ms latency and ~35% GPU memory reduction.”

Director-level engineering leader specializing in cloud infrastructure and compliance systems

Portland, OR24y exp

“Experienced software builder and former founder who ran his own startup for 15 years in the late 1990s, focused on bleeding-edge online ticketing technology. Brings a mix of hands-on software delivery, team building, and startup leadership, though he is currently seeking a well-backed opportunity with strong cash compensation rather than entrepreneurship at all costs.”

“Early-career full-stack engineer with internship experience at Bloomberg and Capital One, shipping both data-heavy product features and AI-powered internal tools. Stands out for owning end-to-end user-facing systems, from spreadsheet-to-dashboard automation that cut workflows from hours to seconds to a BERT-based support chatbot that improved reliability by ~25%.”

“Entrepreneurial healthcare operator currently serving as investor, co-founder, and COO of Mednevo, a startup combining AI with physician oversight rather than replacing doctors. Brings experience from 8 startups, prior capital raising, and a practical approach to healthcare AI trust, including doctor-controlled AI shutoff, HIPAA-minded compliance, and physician validation of LLM outputs.”

“Senior enterprise product leader with high-impact experience at AWS and SirionLabs, spanning AI-powered database migration and NLP-driven contract analytics. Stands out for shipping trustworthy human-in-the-loop AI products with measurable business impact, including a GA launch that lifted automated schema conversion to 90%+ and drove ~20% downstream revenue growth, plus a rapid COVID-era CLM solution that produced upsell and cross-sell gains.”

“Founder building an enterprise agentic AI startup who has already raised about $100K (friends & family plus self-funding). Has prior and current experience engaging VCs (including outreach to both large and small firms) and emphasizes demo-driven pitching, enterprise customer validation, and targeting billion-dollar market opportunities.”

“Veteran product leader with nearly two decades spanning enterprise software, AI SaaS, and connected consumer hardware. Led the award-winning launch of Siftio’s second-generation gaming cubes and later ran product/design for Captricity’s AI platform that automated handwritten insurance application processing for major global insurers. Brings a distinctive human-centered AI perspective shaped by both regulated-industry product work and education/workforce development experience in Cambodia and Namibia.”

“Senior product engineering and data architecture leader who has owned end-to-end solutions for enterprise analytics and legal search platforms, including work for Sony Pictures Entertainment and Accenture Legal. Combines executive-level architecture and team leadership with hands-on experimentation in modern AI systems, recently building a multimodal Hugging Face agent that significantly exceeded its benchmark score.”
