About ibejoeb
https://keybase.io/joeb/chat
Technologist-at-large.
Recently: fractional CTO, LLM operations and automation, mobile apps, browser extensions, due diligence, business combinations and integrations.
Formerly: multiple CTO roles, head of product, chief architect, VP Eng., and many different IC roles. A few acquisitions including a cloud financial software company and an Inc. 500 startup. Also experience in healthcare, industrial engineering, transportation/logistics, and manufacturing. I studied maths-based computer science.
The things I like:
1. Pro bono technology implementation and management for charitable concerns.
2. Exigency: contact me if your situation might benefit from external support.
3. Data modeling, data migrations, and making your data systems work really well, i.e., not just fast, but correct. I can help you get the most out of the technology in which you're invested. "You bought it, so you ought to use it."
4. Green fields, end-to-end development.
5. Opportunities to employ ML-family languages for practical applications. (F# f#@6. Low-level odd/embedded platforms, like printers, fabrication machines, industrial automation controllers, and low-power devices, especially building drivers for newer connectivity like WebBLE and WebUSB.
I work a lot with React Native, Expo, React, TypeScript, Python, and Rails. I have a lot of practical, production experience in the cloud on AWS, Azure, and GCP. I'm also comfortable in a traditional datacenter after many years of building servers and running co-lo. My relational databases of choice are Oracle (ask me why) and PostgreSQL. My graph database of choice is Neo4j. I have a long history with Java and the EE platform, Spring, and all sorts of other things in that ecosystem.
I'm also somewhat of an expert in certain areas of financial reporting: FAS 109, FAS 123(r)/ASC 718, FAS 128, FAS 5, FAS 114, FIN 48, transfer pricing, GAAP/IFRS convergence.

Come on. Now you get face and body scans. That's not better. And when the machine randomly selects you, you take off your shoes anyway, and then they frisk you.

Does it have any make-specific features? For instance, I've used vcds for VW/Audi since it has better reporting than generic odb2 code readers.

Of course you are right. I could write my own software to do what I want. Or, I could just do it all myself manually. This argument is valid in pretty much all cases, so I concede …

Anyone have camera suggestions? I've got 2 spare raspi 5s that would probably be a good base.

They're not just letting it run wild. They took precautions to exercise it in an isolated environment. It managed to evade the constraints.

Good point. Then, if the contract lapses, who is responsible for that infrastructure? Does flock have to tear it down?
