SEEKING WORK - Boulder, CO. Remote welcome.

I'm a former googler who has recently left my senior software engineer role there after five years to seek a less traditional work/life balance.

My primary focus these days is on machine learning; mostly applied, but I've also started doing original research and hope to continue this. I have experience creating and training novel deep vision networks, and in the process have made several contributions to Tensorflow.

I also have extensive experience in both the front- and back-end of extremely large and complicated projects; for example, I've authored large correctness-critical subsystems that handle millions of user-facing requests per second and troubleshot extremely subtle production emergencies.

I'm open to both smaller gigs, such as one-off consulting on machine learning research, performing code reviews, or prototyping new systems; or an ongoing relationship, including part-time employment for the right situation.

I'm language- and tooling-agnostic, but have the most experience with Python, C++, Java, and Javascript. I'm an expert at the nuts & bolts of Tensorflow, and am coming up to speed with non-Google infrastructure technologies like Kubernetes and Docker.

I have a strong preference towards work that both does good in the world and is interesting and novel.

If you'd like to know more, please drop me an email: [email protected]. Thanks!

SEEKING WORK - London UK or remote. NO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES.

I'm a seasoned DevOps with 15 years experience hosting, tuning and sometimes building applications.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large, distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a very scalable application that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stacks namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on the HN freelancer thread.

+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice-based projects

+ Lots, lots more.

Nonprofit/Church Technology: Freelance Sales (Remote / Anywhere)

Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance nonprofit impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.

We're in need of freelance sales help in 2017! We recently launched a product (Donation Spring - https://www.donationspring.com) and plan to aggressively promote it after the new year. Additionally, we continue to pitch our overall consulting and development services.

What I'm looking for:

- The scope is primarily to find prospects, have initial conversations, identify needs, and provide them as a pre-qualified prospect. - Someone with sales/marketing chops. A sales or account exec history is helpful, but not a requirement -- we'll consider anyone with relevant backgrounds and personality/passion alignment. - Experience/familiarity with the nonprofit and church industry. - Major bonus points to bringing an existing network of nonprofit/church prospects. - Located anywhere in the US. The more geographically diverse our team can be, the better. - Freelance contract, part-time, at your own pace. Pay is a generous commission based on lifetime account revenue (negotiable). - Fun, easy going, and service-centered heart. Our primary focus is serving both nonprofit/church missions as well as helping their staff in any tech-centric way we can.

If that describes you, I'd love to chat!

SEEKING WORK

Location: St. Louis, MO

I help startups get that surreal feeling when people actually start paying them for the first time. Especially good fit for startups that have some kind of funding, need to start addressing the problem they’re solving with a product, but aren't at a place where they've hired a dev team yet. I'll bridge the gap and ensure a smooth transition.

Although that's been my main focus the past 3 years, lately I've been getting hired to build internal software for existing small/medium companies. This has been a surprising amount of fun because measuring the ROI is so much easier than with startups.

Remote: Preferred & Only Way (though if its a bigger project, we should definitely meet in person at least once!)

Technologies Used: Ruby, Rails, Javascript, React. Experience with UX design, fairly proficient with vanilla css, lots of experience with popular css frameworks.
