I can do anything I set my mind to, and have done enough things over the course of a career to justify that statement. I want to do great things for an innovative company, and want to work with teammates interested in the same thing. If you've got something interesting, I'd like to hear about it. Seeking a senior SWE position; I have some lead experience as a developer, but was also on the board of directors of a nonprofit, which indicates additional leadership experience.

I've also recently deployed Electric Minds Reborn[0], a revival of a 1990's era virtual community using original data and a new software system written in Go, the Amsterdam Web Communities System[1]. Just to expand my horizons.

Hi, my name is Alec and I build infrastructure and glue systems together. I have completed projects ranging from writing backend application code to building out idempotent infrastructure. I'm looking to branch out into more formal SRE roles as well. If you're worried about the state of your infrastructure, or your developers spend too much time mucking with infrastructure versus feature work, OR if you have no idea what I'm even talking about, then I am certainly going to be a help on your team.

After building and selling a couple of companies, now I'm a quasi-retired "technologist" I guess. I like to build. The benefit is that I'm compensation-flexible and offer a straightforward style. Lately, I've been splitting my time building native apps and working on LLMs, but I'm very also comfortable in the middle of the stack and at the systems level. Somehow I wind up doing a lot of custom USB and BT work.

No drama. I don't want to run your company or lord over a tribe. The best fit is a situation where you need something done, you set the direction and constraints, then I bring you options to get it done and deliver it.

Feel free to contact me (see…

On the topic of bitcoin millionaires... I'm getting some sponsorship for my FreeBSD release engineering work from https://opensats.org/ . Have you asked them?

I haven't, honestly the application processes, paperwork, project reporting expectations and eligibility criteria for these kind of funds just gives me too much anxiety. I never know how to navigate it as a Canadian either, most of them are US or Europe based.

I guess I'm naive to hold out for the anonymous bitcoin millionaires to donate "no strings" until I find something a bit more frictionless.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion, glad to hear you're getting sponsored for your FreeBSD work.

Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of startup experience

Location: CA, United States

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate:Yes

Technologies: SwiftUI, Flutter, AWS, Git, GCP

Resume: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jojo-feng/

Hi, I am Jojo Feng, a software engineer with 5 years of professional experience crafting mobile experiences. I started building mobile apps when I was in junior high, it was 2013, back when the Windows Phone was still a thing. I was appealed to the design system of Windows Phone (also because I was not able to afford a MacBook) so I learned C# and XAML after school and started build apps for it. Seeing positive reviews of my apps from users and how they provided values for them motivated me to pursue a career as a mobile engineer, and to this day, I'm still trying my best to bring the best mobile experience to those in need.
