Hi there! I'm Melissa, and I'm looking for an entry-level remote position at a tech or tech-adjacent company. I’ve lately taught myself React and have built a few personal projects: cloudmaker.site and mightymorse.com. I have an eclectic background including sales, UI/UX design, web development, and a bit of product design and copy writing. I care deeply about both products and the people who need them.

If your team needs a positive person with excellent communication skills who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I’m confident that I can bring a ton of value to your team.

Hello potential employer. I'm a generalist software engineer looking to join a startup where the people are open and genuinely excited to be there. I'd like to join an early stage startup where small programs still have the potential to make a huge impact but there is enough flexibility to put my own spin on things.

I like working with networks, embedded systems, servers, decentralized systems, blockchain protocols, and regular application software. I can do full stack engineering too, but my front-end knowledge is now very out of date. I can pickup and learn most programming languages and related tools fast (so there being technologies I don't yet know at a workplace isn't an issue for me), and I'm comfortable 'wearing multiple hats' other than engineering.

I've designed and developed many large-scale systems, mostly crypto-finance-related. Some of my work is on my Github already. I released the following C++ library recently: https://github.com/robertsdotpm/h.h Thanks for reading.

Howdy -- looking for the next great thing to work on. I'm a code firefighter: I want to ramp up, hit the problem hard, and depart when we win. I do not need to coast underworked "just in case" -- I do not idle very well, it makes me restless. I do not mind doing the un-glamorous stuff nobody else wants to work on if it gets us closer to launch (Unit tests? Docs? Debugging? CI/CD scripts? Gimme!)

Would love to chat and learn if I can help you, your team, or your project. C2C (preferred) or W2.

Good luck on your search! Shout if I can help.

Remote Only

Location: Usually Japan/East Asia, but currently in Europe due to COVID

Willing to Relocate: No

Technologies (reverse-chronological order):

  - AI / Deep Learning Research - previously at Google and have published papers. Mostly focused on NLP and RL, but I keep up with other subfields.
  - Infra: Devops, golang, rust, kubernetes, microservices, large-scale systems, all kinds of databases. Have managed large clusters. Used to be an early Apache Spark engineer and was in a database research group in grad school.
  - Briefly worked in algo trading (HFT-style)
  - Worked at multiple early-stage startups, so I can do other things like full-stack web or app development, but I prefer not to do these full-time. But I can help if stuff comes up.

Hi! 15+ years of engineering experience, and have been through a lot of technology cycles. I'm in a decent place right now and focusing on research and side projects. I'm not actively looking for work but I figured I would post anyway - who knows what opportunities come along! If there's something at the intersection of my interests I'd love to talk. Not sure myself what that would look like, perhaps something around ML/RL research, academia, trading, or infrastructure.

Hi, I’m Vince — I’m looking to join a team as a Backend Software Engineer. I used to work at a mobile-gaming startup in the Bay Area where I built services in Go. In more detail, I:

- Built microservices powered by real-time sports data (NBA and League of Legends)

- Developed libraries used across all services: client SDKs, an internal web framework, data store clients, validation tools

- Rolled out testing infrastructure for writing automated tests resulting in faster development cycles and ongoing test coverage

- Improved engineering standards by actively contributing to docs and reviews related to writing idiomatic Go code, web APIs, app architecture, testing, and error handling

Sadly, the startup wasn't able to secure a Series A round due to the recent pandemic and I was a part of the layoffs. Before working as a software engineer, I worked in finance and have a degree in Economics and a minor in Computer Science from UCSD.

  Location: Los Angeles, CA
  Willing to relocate: Yes (San Francisco Bay Area)
  Remote: Yes (but would enjoy working in an office after the pandemic ends)
