Smartsheet | Full time Senior Software Engineer | Bellevue WA | smartsheet.com

My team is looking for a full stack engineer with a lean toward front end skills. Our primary stack is Java for backend, React with Typescript on the front end with AWS as our infra. We operate in a dev ops model and have built a range of event and data micro-services that consume data from various other services. We have some exciting new greenfield projects coming up this year where will let users of our platform learn more about their usage of Smartsheet and their data.

imrank1 | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Engineers from non-CS background, how did you pivot into ML/AI?

I think moocs are usefull to jump start you but after that you need to do more. I studied CS and did find the deeplearning.ai course helpful in getting started. Without it much of the ML content was not easy to grokk. But now that I"ve gone through that I get the gist of what papers are talking about. After you do a MOOC though you have to continue with doing real work as in exercises, Kaggle competitions and just playing with things.

imrank1 | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your goto resource for learning about big data, ML, AI etc?

For a ML intro Coursera's machine learning course https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning is great. I have not been through the entire course but for someone who has no background in it, its a good intro as the video themselves are solid.

imrank1 | 9 years ago | on: Why is everyone so upset about the new MacBook Pro?

Lack of more RAM.

imrank1 | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What would you want in a site for dev jobs if it was built today?

I would also add what the general hours are that most of the team is available and if there are flex hours.

How did you get started in freelancing on the side? I've always wanted to do this but struggle to find clients.

I used Screenhero a lot when I worked remotely. It's a great tool. Shared screens from the East coastto West coast (US) with hardly ever experiencing problems. Great service.

imrank1 | 11 years ago | on: Just how much is that 2% really worth?

In my experience companies won't share what the percentage is of the stock you are getting. They just say you are getting X number of shares and won't tell you anything else. How do you verify what they are saying is correct?

how do you plan on getting service providers on the site?

imrank1 | 12 years ago | on: GigYard – My first side project

Nice. So its kind of like zaarly? How do you plan on getting service providers on the site?

imrank1 | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: My boss lowered my salary to make me more motivated

I worked at a place where the VP of Engineering threatened to do what you described to 'motivate' people. He also said if he thinks the interns are working better he will lower full time employees salaries. A couple of months later I and some other engineers left. You should look for another job.

imrank1 | 12 years ago | on: Pixate Freestyle - a Bootstrap for non-Web, Native Mobile Apps

Awesome. I was looking for something like this to use in my next side project. Any more info on when the Android release is coming?

imrank1 | 12 years ago | on: Show HN home supplies delivered via subscription

No offense taken!I feel the the same way. I think the theme needs to be brighter and more inviting. I'm not really skilledon UI design myself so was looking for honest feedback. Thanks!

imrank1 | 12 years ago | on: Screenhero

I work remotely on the west coast for my employer on the east coast. I've used screenhero frequently and it works awesome. Great product. The recent addition of voice is awesome as well. Previously we would run google hangout at the same time. I'm interested in finding out what the price will be.

interesting that is not even on CNN or MSNBC yet. Has anyone else seen coverage on US news?

imrank1 | 13 years ago | on: Heroku shouldn’t be sandbagging paying customers who have low-traffic apps

It's interesting. I created a simple app (using the free dyno), use the free new relic monitoring and that keeps the app fresh (no idling). And I have no traffic coming to the site. All i'm paying for is SSL. I would think he would have no idling with multiple services pinging it for uptime.

imrank1 | 13 years ago | on: Nexus4 swinging in and out of stock. Missed it? Get an email once it's back.

why is this needed when google notifies you when it will be available for sale? I received an email today telling me it will be on sale again.
