Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddymullen/

Email: paddy@paddymullen.com

I'm a developer who believes code isn't valuable unless it's used. That's why I start with conversations, not commits. I work to understand real problems before reaching for shiny new packages. I build tools that are simple, effective, and easy to adopt. My goal is always to solve the problem and make sure people know there’s a solution.

In my next role, I'm looking to work with a team that values clarity and impact. I'm especially interested in data heavy environments where thoughtful tooling can make workflows better.

Most recently, I built [Buckaroo](https://github.com/paddymul/buckaroo) an open source data table for Jupyter using Pandas/Polars. It combines fast rendering, summary stats, and a low-code UI. It scratches an itch I've had for over a decade and has already streamlined my own analysis workflow.

I'm a senior full-stack web and game developer with over 10 years of professional experience. I love building things from the ground up and products that have lots of user interaction (I can't wait for more webGPU adoption). If you've got a big nebulous idea and you want someone to turn it into a concrete piece of code, I'm your dev.

Hi! I'm Matt. Good at leading teams, good at hands-on problem solving. I don't particularly care about the title. Looking for a technical leadership role (e.g., Director/Sr Mgr Engineering, or Senior/Staff Engineer, depending on whether it's management or hands-on).

I'd also be interested in (and good at) fractional / consulting work or team coaching.

I do my best work as a strong #2, supporting a leader that values ideas and feedback, whether in a management or IC role. (Working Geniuses: invention and enablement. Working Frustrations: galvanizing and tenacity)

Location: Chicago, IL USA

Remote: yes, or hybrid

Willing to Relocate: probably not, but maybe for the right role

Technologies: Python (pandas, flask, dbt, sklearn, pyspark), Ruby (Rails, sinatra, chef), Java (spring/sringboot), HTML/CSS/JS (react, angular, jquery), SQL, Terraform, AWS, Clojure (no professional experience but a handful projects)

Résumé/CV: upon request

Hey there! I'm a software engineer based in Chicago with 11+ yoe working in consulting and startups. I've had a good amount of exposure and experience across the stack, working with devops heavy projects, microservices APIs, and frontend applications. Most recently I've been deep in the world of data cleansing/pipelining/analytics, but not sure if I want to continue that path or return to more traditional application systems development. I'm open to senior/lead eng roles at product shops or consulting shops. Would love to either work in an interesting tech stack or solve interesting domain problems. Would love to be in a role that's science/environment/medicine adjacent. Preference for teams with mature CI/CD and testing practices
