Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

I've been streaming development of a game I am making in C++ and Raylib for both desktop and browser! See me in action on my Youtube channel. I won't share email here, but I will if you reach out to me on LinkedIn or X/Twitter.

I have professional experience as an iOS Developer, Security Consultant/Penetration Tester, and as an online Computer Science tutor. I realize my intersection of skills may not appear united or even fresh, but I pride myself on my ability to learn new tech stacks and integrate into anyone's workflow.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you in advance!

Strong C++ and Python developer with intermediate experience with Lua, C#, Javascript/TS, Rust, and Golang. My previous job experience was with networking and parsing packets on switches in data centers using C. I also did some QA testing and I am open to those jobs. I enjoy working on side projects like making games in Godot, or websites using Flask or React.

    Location: Colorado
    Remote: Yes
    Willing to relocate: No
    Technologies: Product Management, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence | CISSP, CCSP certified

I'm a PM with a proven track record shipping AI products that make money. At Anomali, I launched their Copilot generative AI suite from zero to millions in ARR. I handled everything from product-market fit to pricing and packaging. Before that, I built Splunk's first cloud-native SaaS app called Mission Control, coordinating 40+ engineers across 30+ teams to unify SIEM, SOAR, and investigation workflows into one platform. We gained over 1000 DAUs and 350+ customers in six months.

I'm technical enough to be dangerous with a CS degree, partial MS in Cybersecurity from Georgia Tech, and I build things for fun (my side projects have hit the HN front page). But my real value is bridging deep technical understanding with business strategy in fast-moving security/AI markets.

Looking for companies at an inflection point where I can build or significantly scale a product function. Ideally somewhere at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.

I’m a software engineer who spent 5 years at Microsoft (Windows Shell), where I worked on core user-facing parts of Windows and later on an AI incubation team. I resigned in 2023 to study Mandarin full-time in Taiwan, but am now back in the US and looking for my next engineering role. I studied CS and Creative Writing at Brown, where I helped build what was then the largest undergraduate UI/UX course in the country. Solid fundamentals, strong UX background, and comfortable working in Mandarin.

I like building things that balance technical depth with human-centered design. I’m seeking roles where I can work across systems and product to make software that feels genuinely useful.
