I'm a full stack developer with 12 years of experience in PHP and 6+ years of specializing in Laravel. I've built and maintained large web applications, internal tools, and SaaS platforms for startups and large organizations. I enjoy working on clean, readable codebases and simplifying dev workflows. I'm searching for contract or part-time remote work with a small to medium-sized team that values craftsmanship and clarity. I'm eager to jump into established codebases or help architect new ones.

Remote: Yes (potentially hybrid)

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Infrastructure, systems administration, DevOps, Linux, Terraform, AWS, configuration management, docker, python, monitoring/metrics (prometheus, grafana, et al)

Have been exploring a different (non-tech) career path the last few years (since covid) and doing some volunteer work in South America and Mexico. Potentially willing to relocate if role is in Southeast Asia, otherwise only looking for remote.

Remote: Yes (US time zones; experienced leading fully remote and hybrid teams)

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies:

- Data & AI leader | Healthcare technology executive with 15+ years building data strategies, AI/ML/LLM systems, and digital transformation for PE-backed healthcare and multi-site retail. - Data & AI (AI/ML/LLM implementation, predictive analytics, model calibration) - Data Engineering (DuckDB, dbt, Parquet, modern data pipelines) - Full-stack (Python, Ruby, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, HTML/CSS) - Cloud & Infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Terraform, distributed systems) - Analytics & Observability (dashboards, real-time monitoring)

Hi folks, I'm Matt. About 7 years of experience working at the interface between data science and backend development. My most recent work has been around optimization of grid-scale energy storage systems - I was the technical lead for the team's first go-live in the ERCOT power market. A lot of experience taking something functional but bespoke (think e.g. a Jupyter notebook from a DS researcher) and applying rigorous software engineering principles to make it modular/scalable/maintainable, and dealing with the problems that result from applying machine learning in the real world (e.g. robustness to forecast error).

Primarily experienced in Python but I've learned a lot of languages at this point and don't mind learning new tools that fit that job.

Not afraid to get my hands dirty deep in the guts of algorithms/statistics/mathematics, my background is in electrical engineering with some signal processing experience. I've got years of math skills crying out to be used!

I'm looking for a role that lets me sink my teeth into challenging problems - some kind of math/statistical analysis/optimization/algorithmic bent would be ideal, I get a great kick out of testing out cutting edge new libraries, implementing an algorithm from a new research paper, that kind of thing.

Would love to connect, even if just for networking.

  Location: Portland, OR, US
  Remote: Yes
