Location: San Francisco

Remote: Yes (only)

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Let's Encrypt, TLS, HTTPS, Python, shell scripting

Notes: I just left the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) earlier today after 19 years of work as a Staff Technologist, and am looking for consulting or contracting opportunities, primarily short-term, on topics such as privacy, information security, or integrations of the Let's Encrypt service (which I also helped to create while I was at EFF). I also have experience working as an expert witness on litigation.

I have a main consulting project beginning this week, so I'm not currently looking for full-time or permanent work.

Any reason you haven't used Let's Encrypt for your personal domain? ;)

Notes: Recent MS grad in ECE (summer 2020) with a particular passion for GPU kernel development, hardware acceleration, and ML/CV (modelling/deployment). I enjoy contributing to/optimizing the technical core of complex systems. My past five internships and latest research have spanned GPU kernel dev/optimization, malware detection, code regression detection, video acceleration, iOS/Android app dev + acceleration. I love fast-paced environments and learning, and I most especially value opportunities for recent grads.

  Location: Los Angeles, CA
  Willing to relocate: Yes (San Francisco Bay Area)
  Remote: Yes (but would prefer working in person after the pandemic ends)
  Technologies: Go (Golang), Rust, Java, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, REST, gRPC
  Website: https://vincentxiao.com
  Github: https://github.com/vince-ntx
  Email: [email protected]
  Resume: Request via email

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, and testing

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 in tech, I worked in finance for 2 years. Thanks for reading, email or message me on LinkedIn if you’d like to chat.

Location: San Diego, CA

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes, out of USA

Technologies: Hardware design / Electronics (design, prototyping, testing, manufacture), Embedded C/C++, Python, Java, Mechanical design/prototyping, 3D printing

Résumé/CV: Available on request

Email: [email protected]

Web: http://kapamaki.net

I'm a freelance engineer primarily focused on embedded hardware and firmware, from design to prototyping to manufacture. I've designed scores of small-scale embedded "glue" devices, large-scale LED controllers, hardware for autonomous vehicles, 3D mapping rigs, as well as consumer products for Kickstarters and large companies. I have experience with 3D design and machine-shop prototyping, as well as an extensive background in firmware and backend programming.

I'm primarily looking to work on interesting projects, however I wouldn't rule out part- or full-time for the right company. No project is too small, and I do deep discounts for open-source or artistic work.

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petter-kaspersen-1a49a4110/

Email: petter(dot)hoegmo(dot)kaspersen(at)gmail.com

3 years of professional experience as a full-stack developer, working mostly with research and development during this time, which means my development time from idea to MVP has been very short. I'm open to work on anything that sounds interesting, and moving is not a problem! Before this I worked as a freelancer with lots of interesting small local companies for several years.

I'm fluent in English, almost more so than Norwegian, so language barrier is a non-issue here.

Please reach out if you find me interesting!

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Javascript (React.js, React Native, jQuery, Backbone.js, Angular.js), HTML/CSS, LESS/SASS, Git/SVN, Yarn/Bower, Gulp/Grunt, Jest/Enzyme/Selenium, RESTful APIs

Resume: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7f1ecrevl9ylob7/Jay%20Huang%20-%20...

Email: See resume

Focus on building web/mobile applications, with experience on both the front and back-end. More recently focusing on front-end work, namely working with React Native; having users happy to interact with something I've built is what keeps me motivated.

I've worked in a bunch of industries and led a bunch of fairly successful teams including: leading a team to build a major government satellite project (RADARSAT Constellation Mission), further developing an asset management system and other tools for the movie industry, attempting to build a real estate/housing application more successful than my first from a couple years back, and more.

Looking for a great team focused on building a product (or products) users love, with minimal red tape. A team that works well with each other with little in the way of workplace politics, is passionate about what they're building, alongside management and PMs that do their best to help the team and product succeed.
