"Professor wants a Summer Gig"

    Location: on the beach in CA or FL
    Remote: yes
    Willing to relocate: no 
    Technologies: javascript, php, database, SPSS. Know some: R, ReactJS, python, machine learning (did Andrew Ng's MOOC), bitcoin (did the Princeton MOOC)
    Résumé/CV: see below
    Email: [email protected]
I'm a computer professor in the business school of a university in the Rocky Mountain area.

I get summers off. I want to visit FL or CA for 3 months during summer 2017 to learn surfing (I'm a young-at-heart, very physically active male 44 year old, never married, no kids).

During that stay, I'd like to work for a start-up or some such. Don't need pay, but sweat equity and a place to crash would be yuuuuuge.

My ideal schedule will be to surf 4 hours a day, and spend 8 hours a day working at the start-up. I consider myself well-versed in human communication, cognitive biases, UI/UX design, pricing, coaching.

I'm well read. My regular reads (and YouTube and Twitter addictions) include:

    - Hacker News
    - Nassim Taleb
    - Daniel Kahneman
    - Marc Andreessen
    - Paul Graham (Y Combinator)
    - Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert)
    - Derek Sivers
----------------

I'm huge into hacking "learning." I've studied Spanish (Pimsleur Level IV and Michel Thomas Foundation) and French (Pimsleur Level I and Michel Thomas Foundation), and am fluent in English and Hindi. I have a PhD, and hope to do a J.D. one day. Good cook, regular meditator. Originally from India, I have my green card, and expect to have citizenship by summer.

I'm a senior developer/architect and have worked as employee #1 at startups, as an independent freelancer, and even for BigCo. My current go-to language is Python with Scala a close second. I'm very interested in functional programming, GIS, databases and distributed systems. I'm open to relocation after a short trial period.

I've been in professional web dev for over 10 years, 5 of which has been remote contracting. It's great fun! I've been the lead programmer / CTO for several startups. I'll also happily pootle around with devops/sysadmin tasks, chat with non-techy clients, troubleshoot their troubles and help un-bamboozle them about horrendous tech issues, mentor junior developers and designers who might find our million billion sub-fields of programming a wee bit daunting, and host a mean beer o'clock on Fridays.

Here's a bunch of references: https://www.dropbox.com/s/803ckfhdnnpzl69/references.zip?dl=...

Hi, my name is Felipe. I'm a web developer with 4 years of experience. Started as a founder of an ecommerce, which I built with Django, and now I work as a freelancer. I'm comfortable with the technologies listed above and I'm also a fast learner, in case I need to learn new ones.

I built a Personal Finances Manager in React (https://github.com/felipegalvao/react-finance-redux) and now I'm working in a Project Manager Web App, also with React (https://github.com/felipegalvao/react-project-manager), kind of a Basecamp / Asana clone, using Firebase, React Router, Jest / Enzynme / Chai and some animations.

============================

SQL backed web applications - Building the core of the application in PostgreSQL, adding an API layer in python (on google app engine), and overlaying that with Elm based thick javascript client.

Frontend - coding applications with html/css/javascript. Elm-style static-typed model-view-action design

Machine Learning - Putting the data in the right format (python and sql scripts), iterating on feature engineering. Prefer to use Vowpal Wabbit (logistic regression with hashing trick) since this can often do just as good a job as deep neural networks.

Application Scaling - How to shard the application database to beyond what SQL can do (makes sense for machine-to-machine IOT applications, and for high user load applications) (Although this is somewhat mitigated by Google Spanner very recently, can continue to use SQL and not shard)

In summary - Solid full stack developer, can get working right away on your project for reasonable cost and time. Prefer using Google's cloud technologies (app engine python, cloud postgresql) so that devops is reduced to minimum.

========

I'm currently winding down a long-term engagement, and I'm excited to have the opportunity to work on some newer projects. I work in the pacific time zone, and dealing with US based companies couldn't be easier.

I'm a seasoned freelancer with over 15 years experience, and I've worked with all kinds of organizations, from small startups, to Fortune 50 organizations. Very familiar with Agile / DevOps approaches, and particularly fond of good developer testing practices.

My focus is on delivering lean, simple, well tested products. I've worked on desktop GUI applications, backend web services, web UIs. These days my focus has been on the backend, typically providing some kind of a REST API. This includes all the usual tech: relational and NoSQL databases (Mysql, Postgresql, RethinkDB, MongoDB, Elastic Search, Redis), Docker, Docker Cloud, AWS. Spring, Guice, and many more.

I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in electronic assembly (SMD), 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction. I've taught courses at several universities, hackspaces, and conferences.

I've just finished up two years at the public company that acquired my previous startup where I've been working as director of product management. On the search for the Next Big Thing but have some availability over the next 3 to 6 months.

Email: me [@] kapeels [.] net

I will be graduating from a certificate course at UCLA in June. I have a BEng in Computer Technology. I am currently working part-time as a Software Engineer at UCLA for a research project. I have been freelancing since 2010 mostly working on web apps. I'm good at full-stack JavaScript. I made a Twitter tool when I was 17 and it's a hit with 200k+ users to this day (http://www.tweriod.com). I did an internship at a startup in Berlin in the summer of 2015 mostly working on AngularJS apps. I am willing to learn new tech and move further down the stack.
