Recently graduated from the Stevens Institute of Technology in NJ, right next to NYC - CS bachelor's degree with a minor in philosophy. Worked with Node.js, Vue.js, and Postgres for a senior capstone project. I'm currently working with a professor on improving an existing web app and fixing legacy PHP code.
Always excited to try new languages, frameworks, methodologies - you name it.
Please don't hesitate to leave a comment with any questions. Thank you for looking.
I am a citizen of the US.

Personal Preferences:
* Vanilla JS. I detest large frameworks and unnecessary dependencies. I prefer writing solutions to business requirements as directly as possible in an imperative/functional style.
* Not everything should be a dependency. A quality product will not contain 1000 NPM packages.
* I prefer git for version control.
* I enjoy writing documentation and receiving technical criticism.

Prior Personal Projects:
* Share File Systems, a complete GUI in the browser that allows viewing and navigating the current machines complete file system and sharing aspects of that file system to specified devices/users. The application is server-less, peer-to-peer, and focused on privacy first. The first link is a video demo and the second is the code on Github: http://mailmarkup.org/sharefile/demo1.mp4 , https://github.com

For full disclosure, I have a criminal record from about a decade ago (and will be glad to disclose details to anybody that might be interested, but not a breach of trust or theft or anything like that) and that has hindered my job search. I have been consulting since then and am looking for a stable position. I have experience doing work for large and small businesses and understand many processes both in application development and management. If anybody is willing to give me a chance or at least get in touch, I would greatly appreciate it. If I need to relocate, I would definitely consider that.
Thank you.

Context: we're a group of independent contractors who have, for the past several years, worked together creating and developing a product in cybersecurity risk management space, targeted at enterprise-level customers. Despite breaking into the market and entering evaluation process with multiple large and well-known enterprises, the parent company owning the IP has started to disintegrate and we're being forced to look for another work. Since we're an experienced team that works well together and have been successfully solving hard problems and delivering for years, we're trying to find an opportunity to work on something together.
Between us all, we have over 60 person-years of commercial development experience. Two of us are capable handling front-end development, but we've all been mostly backend-focused. Individually, experience additionally includes: game development, hardware and firmware engineering, CAD/CAM (Fusion360), network engineering, devops.

I work with early stage (typically Seed/Series A) startups as a consulting Head of Product and CTO.
What I do:
- As an interim Head of Product/CTO, I will lead your product and eng functions - I will drive all aspects of product development, including product research, talking to your customers, product strategy, sprint planning/execution, and ultimately, successful product delivery. - Help you hire great people into product and engineering roles - Provide interim engineering leadership and make sure your team is motivated and building the right thing without over-engineering it. - Ensure that good product and engineering practices are built into your organizational culture.
I'd be ideally suited at a startup where the sales/business-focused founder(s) need an experienced hand to manage and propel the ship on the product/tech side.
At my last startup, I took a SaaS product from a back of napkin sketch to software with dozens of business customers and in the process we raised venture funding. Prior to that, I led a 10-person eng team at a well-known startup in SF.

Résumé/CV: jonpurdy.com/resume.pdf Email: [email protected] (will respond from my real one)
I'm primarily a Technical Project Manager looking to help teams build software more efficiently.
In previous infrastructure roles I've spearheaded numerous projects, brought service endpoint uptime from ~95% to 100%, took over and grew a team, and improved team performance by implementing Infrascrum methodology. Since 2018, I've implemented Scrum and Kanban, coached junior development teams, and successfully completed and released multiple software projects, both internal and for clients. I also acted as a product manager for many of the internal products we created, developing product mission and vision statements, roadmaps, gathered user feedback, and built user-facing documentation and product websites.
Ideally, I'm looking for a SF Bay Area-based startup that has built (or is close to completing) an MVP and is looking to scale the development team's size and efficiency, as well as technical infrastructure.
I'm available either on a contract or full-time basis. I’m best able to fill the following roles: scrum master, product owner, technical product manager, Agile coach, or project manager, or some sort of combination of them.
Thanks and please email me if you have any questions or just want to chat.

Hi HN,
I'm a seasoned developer with previous as co-founder/CTO of a funded startup (8 years) in the web/audio space.
Currently I am technical lead of a product team in a mid-sized EU startup (2 years). I'm a productive, polyglot programmer with plenty of direct experience in backend web development, mobile development and real-time audio/streaming tech. I am also comfortable tackling many of the non-technical challenges faced by startups (product mindset, process, project management, engineering management, etc.)
I'm interested in hearing about opportunities where my skills, experience and mindset may be a good fit.
Must be remote-friendly, but I can travel within Europe for interviews and meetings.
Some example roles that I'd consider:
- Backend or full-stack web development
- Audio/video/streaming dev roles
- Tech lead or the right EM role
- Technical co-founder opportunities (salaried)
- Short-term/contract developer roles

Hi I’m Mark, I’m an Applied ML Scientist and Product Designer. I'm the founder of yuri.ai where my goal is to make it really easy for game developers to balance their games using Reinforcement Learning. I’m looking for a job because the Lebanese banking system is collapsing and I’ll soon need income to support my parents.
How I can help you:
I can write top notch documentation and can explain anything to anyone: My book robotoverlordmanual.com is a visual and accessible robotics, ML and math textbook with over 28000 monthly viewers. I’m very comfortable writing and speaking.
I can manage your most complex projects: I was the BI lead when Microsoft was selling its display ads business to AOL, I made sure Outlook AI efforts were compliant. I’ve worked on projects with 100+ stakeholders and have bootstrapped projects where I was the first engineer to 10 engineers.
I can turn your research into a product: I’ve done this with Yuri, I’ve done this at Microsoft when I was working on a next gen email ranker and a part of speech tagger and I’ve done this at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory when I was setting up their computer security anomaly detection pipeline from scratch
I can setup your entire BI infrastructure and measure what matters: I’ve done this for more than 10 teams at Microsoft. I will help you find and measure the metrics that are most indicative of your product success.
I will also get along with your dev team: I have extensive science and development experience and can tell the difference between realistic work and sci-fi. I have extensive experience with tooling and research in BI, ML, RL and game dev.
Please ask me questions!

About me: I am a Bay Area native and lifelong technologist. Built my first computer when I was 8, got exposed UNIX/Linux systems and installed Red Hat Linux and Slackware in late 1900s, which sparked my interest in technology and set me on the path I am on. Experience and skills in the Systems, Infrastructure, DevOps, and SRE spaces; from the physical layer (data center and computer hardware) up to supporting apps in production and the developers that build them. Recent years focused on the emerging cloud native computing stack, helping software developers and organizations be successful with it. I bring a systems theory approach to thinking about and solving problems. Have many areas of interest, and am also interested in applying my skillset into various other (not traditionally considered tech) industries and verticals like transportation, energy, water, agriculture, etc. that can have a large positive societal impact.
