I am a junior programmer, and I have been working diverse jobs within the past two years in order to get a taste for different work. I absolutely love programming and am constantly seeking to learn new languages, use new technology, and experiment with upcoming devices. I recently moved to San Francisco so that I could see and develop the newest innovations at the source, and am currently seeking full-time work in the San Francisco Bay area or remotely.

For example, this past year, I was the sole programmer on a team providing new technology to the US Air Force. During that time, I designed, built, and debugged two seperate augmented-reality apps for iOS and Android on a strict deadline, despite not having any prior experience with the software for their development.

I learn incredibly quickly, and I am willing to learn everything from the ground up. If you want someone to help out for an upcoming deadline, or provide additional support for an ongoing project, please don't hesitate to email.

Most recently was a lead instructor at a development bootcamp teaching full stack webdev (RoR/React). I enjoyed the career detour to pursue teaching, however, I am looking to get back into development either on the frontend or in automation as an SDET. While very different paths, both touch on what I love doing - working on the little things that make people's lives better.

A lot of what I know is self-taught as I have a non-traditional background/career path. I know that I'm starting from an odd point in my career so I'd be happy to also take a temp/intern to perm position to show that I'm capable.

The best way to get me to open up is to ask me about my home lab that I've been working on as a hobby for the past decade. You can also ask me about education or podcasts. If you'd like to see some of my code, I completed a frontend project this summer for a close friend who has been proving out a startup idea. While the code is closed source, I can walk you through the codebase via screen share.

About me: Currently a self-employed Data/Machine Learning Engineer who enjoys data analysis, building machine learning models, and developing data pipelines. I spent several years as a Data Analyst at a startup, but in early 2017 I wanted a change of life, so I became self-employed. I have extensive experience implementing and contributing to the most recent version of TensorFlow (2.0), during both alpha and beta phases.

Looking for: Machine Learning, Data Engineer, or Jr. Data Scientist role.

Fullstack mid-senior level developer. I can also jump in as dedicated front/backend developer, though my strong suit is backend in that scenario. I'm also a pro at configuring servers including database setup, nginx configuration, and I've managed sentry and jenkins instances as well as configured terraform and docker builds.

I love learning new technologies (right now I'm learning Rust).

I can also consult on topics like: choosing a stack for your startup, how to build your MVP the fastest for the least amount of $$, or sourcing different api's and tools for your business..

I've been CTO for a couple startups and have lead a small team for a mobile app startup and dealt with making decisions on how the app was built, and setting up their CI/CD pipelines.

I'm a resourceful non-techy, interested in joining a high-impact startup with passionate people. I'm looking for equity not wages. My distributed company earns my living. I'm ready to work my ass off and I'm looking for a team which does the same. I'm planning to settle in San Francisco in the future - but I'm open to anything.

I started my first business at age 9, a fruit shop. (Was forced to close it as I took the customers of a legit :) nearby shop, who in exchange threatened to sue my parents for letting me trade under age). Worked as a stock broker during university trading on the NYSE (straight after school till 10pm every day), then moved from Hungary to the UK in 2008. With lack of jobs and desperate for cash I took a job cleaning dishes. In 3 months I worked my way up to a General Manager position and eventually got back into finance. If I want something, I don’t take no for an answer. I always find a way. On the side, I started my accounting firm and built it into a distributed practice. We have clients all over the world, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, but I keep running into scaleability issues so I'm looking for other opportunities. The past 3 years, I lived as a digital nomad traveling the world solo. I have been to ~20 countries and lived a year in Vietnam.

I'm in San Francisco from the 6th of September for 2 months.

I’ve been working with JavaScript since before jQuery's release and have been using Node.js since v0.2. I also contributed a few patches to Node.js.

I have some management experience and I'm comfortable in both leadership and individual contributor-level roles.

I’m very big on automation, both for DevOps kind of things - testing, formatting, Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI & CD) - and in the business sense of making things more efficient and profitable.

I've also done smaller amounts of work in a variety of other languages including Python, Java, C++, C#, Rust, Ruby, and TypeScript. I can pick up new things pretty quickly.

Recently I've been working for Tanium on computer security/management software used by large enterprises and government agencies, including a number of banks and the US Air Force. Prior to that I helped IBM launch the public Watson APIs, started a small digital agency and worked at a couple of startups.

I'm a recent grad with a bachelors in computer science and 1 class short of a masters in computer science. I was in a combined BS/MS program. Decided recently to look for a job instead of finishing my masters.

I prefer low-level and back end code but have exposure to Android and Node.js and am open to any developer role. I'm able to pick up any programming language quickly and have also written code in Python, C#, MIPS Assembly and Scheme in the past. Recently, I've been learning golang as it seems like it offers the performance of C/C++ and the safety of more modern languages. I have an academic background in compilers, concurrency, distributed systems, databases and computer architecture.

I'm looking for a job where I can gain experience and grow as a developer. I'm willing to consider relocating with or without a relocation package.

I'm a Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) student at Oxford who has been programming for 5 years. Despite my degree, I've self-taught myself computer science: I've taken MOOCs on algorithms and data structures, computer architecture, databases, parallel programming, and machine learning, amongst others. I've done several internships as a software engineer and data scientist. The most exciting project I'm working on now is writing Apache Spark programs for a Raspberry Pi cluster to do analysis on >6 billion data points.

I am looking for a full-time job in 2020 after graduation. I have wanted to be a SWE for the longest time, but recently I realised that my comparative advantage lies more in data science: my degree has given me training in economics, statistics, experiment design, and data analysis and visualisation (Python, R).

I am still happy to take up a generalist SWE role, although I probably won't be as quick in the interview as CS grads who have plenty of experience grinding Leetcode. What I'm really interested in is a role where my knowledge of economics and statistics (and ability to write well!) can bring value to a company over and above a CS grad.

Hi, I'm a mid-level embedded and low-level GNU/Linux software engineer with three years experience in building GNU/Linux distributions from the ground up as well as system services for RT and non-RT operating systems. This included fields like HALs, OSALs, IPC and everything time-related. Generally things that can't be seen but have to work.

I'm looking for a new opportunity within a company that does not just use but also contributes back to Open Source. I want to give back and work on something meaningful. I'd really like to be a full-time contributor to Open Source, including code, docs and community work.

If you need someone who knows how to code but also has the soft skills to interact with your community, who can reach from vector tables up to graphics and who can program from Assembly up to modern C++, reach out to me!
