SEEKING WORK | Ontario, Canada | Remote I'm an experienced Julia developer with a enthusiasm for solving performance and optimization challenges.

I can help if you're looking for Julia expertise to help with any of the following:

  - Investigating long compilation or start-up times
  - Profiling and identifying performance bottlenecks
  - Low-level performance optimization for your simulation code
  - Assessing different parallelization or threading strategies
  - Increasing testing coverage to help with maintainability and robustness
  - Cleaning up prototype code to prepare for production or publishing as a package
  - Contribute to a dependency upstream to ease a pain point in your use case

I might also be able to help if you are: - Rewriting or redesigning from R/MATLAB to Julia/Python/Rust. - Having performance problems with your Python, Rust, MATLAB, or C code. - Want to investigate if leveraging GPU compute (CUDA) could be useful for your computations. I've worked across a wide range of the Julia ecosystem, from high-level tasks such as extracting data from non-compliant csv, and writing custom Plots.jl recipes, to low-level work such as extending the mul! matrix multiplication interface with LAPACK, and investigating type-instabilities and inference problems using SnoopCompile and Cthulhu. Think I might be able to help? Shoot me an email and let's find out.
