Hello ^_^

I'm open to a new job. My main goal is learning, so I'm particularly interested in roles that would let me learn more about technologies and topics I am interested in.

I have a Master's in Mathematics, with a specialization in Discrete Maths and Theoretical Computer Science. I really enjoy Logic and Number Theory, so I'd be very keen to work on things like formal verification or cryptography. You can find my master's thesis on my website. I'm also interested in compilers and applications of graph theory to computer networks and operating systems.

I have ample professional experience with Go, and have dabbled a fair amount with Rust, a somewhat smaller amount with Elixir, Clojure and ClojureScript in my spare time. I'd be very interested in continuing my exploration of Clojure and ClojureScript, or building more with Elixir or Rust.

I use the FreeBSD operating system as my daily driver, and would be thrilled to use it professionally as well. I also have ample experience with Linux, having used Ubuntu and Debian as daily drivers, and Debian in a professional context for years.

In terms of what I can offer, I'm honest, I'm kind, I'm motivated, rigorous and curious. I'm a good writer, and I enjoy writing documentation, and technical texts. I have over five years of experience as a professional developer, I have written a LOT of Go code, and I'm comfortable debugging complex systems.

I can collaborate on large projects, having worked full time at a large tech company for several years and made a few open-source contributions.

I can work well with clients - I spent over a year working as a salesperson in a very busy Paris H&M. While there, my then manager gave me what is, over 7 years later, still my favorite professional feedback: "you get along with everyone".

you can find my personal site at https://arielche.net/

and you're welcome to email me with any questions or requests for further information that you might have.

Location: Madison, WI

Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Clojure, js, Firebase, Stripe etc.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-decker-3420a77b/

Email: aaron AT stronganchortech.com

Do you need the expertise of a seasoned software engineer for a project but don't have the budget for someone full-time? Are you willing to have the project completed asynchronously, on an hourly basis, in around 1-15 hours per week? If so, we should talk (the introductory call is free). I have around a decade of experience (see below) and am available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays as well as some times on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (MWF I teach math & Latin at a small classical school). My standard rate is $100/hour for async work, $150/hour if there's tighter deadlines. Discounts available for special circumstances :)

Work experience:

- Built a tool (non-AI) to read Latin texts and generate fully-parsed glossaries. I used this tool in a few Latin readers I've published recently.(Tech: Clojure, Ada)

- Built a billing system, using Stripe integration, for a B2B SAAS app.

- Fractional team lead for Learnics. Wrote a bibliography generator that supports MLA, APA, and Chicago style. (Tech: Vue, Firebase)

- Built the front-end for https://app.composer.trade, a systematic trading app. Took the company from designs all the way through launch. (Tech: Clojure/Script, Firebase)

- Created a fuzz-testing tool that takes in a language grammar (EBNF) and uses that to generate syntactically correct random text in that language.

- Built a video-hosting and sharing site for family videos. (Tech: Reagent, Clojure/Script, S3, CouchDB, Stripe)

- Created the https://github.com/deckeraa/couchdb-auth-for-ring/ open-source library that enables you to use CouchDB as an authentication back-end for Ring apps.

- Led a team of ~17 software developers for the business intelligence module of a large healthcare IT company.

I do dev/devops/security, usually for startups or scale-ups or other small orgs with limited resources, and I've been doing that for 15+ years. So, if you:

* Have a slow web application that’s often down?

* Want to improve security and don’t know where to start?

* Have a legacy system that needs to be replaced?

* Are considering an acquisition but not sure about the technical side?

I can help with that. For example, in the past I have:

* Massively improved performance and reliability for a data visualization platform.

* Led a large effort to improve security for a cybersecurity SaaS.

* Built a micropayments system for a prominent media startup.

* Rebuilt an aging e-learning platform from scratch for a GDPR compliance SaaS.

* Conducted technical due diligence for acquisitions.

For more information: https://www.luitjes.it

Other tech I've worked with: Elixir, C#, Java (Spring/Hibernate), JavaScript, HTML/CSS/XSLT/XPATH/XSLFO, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Solr/Lucene, Graphite, Kibana, Grafana, Logstash, Icinga, Jenkins, Varnish, HAProxy, Pound, Nginx, Apache, Passenger, Vagrant, Docker, DCOS, Kubernetes, SSH, OpenVPN, TCP/IP, tcpdump/strace/lsof/etc, AWS (EC2, ELB/ALB, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, Batch, VPC, etc.
