Hello! I’m Mari. I’ve spent 10+ years hacking on side-projects and open source, and the last 3.5+ years building production back-ends in Rust, Go and Typescript.

My latest project is GitArena (https://github.com/mellowagain/gitarena), a self-hostable Git + issue-tracker written in async Rust (Actix-Web, Tokio, PostgreSQL, htmx). I also grew Fiberplane's Rust REST API and CLI, wrote an OpenAPI -> Rust codegen tool, and automated its Terraform infra.

Feel free to get in touch to learn more about me and my previous experiences.

Hi, I'm Vincent, an engineer with 10+ years of experience working in all parts of the engineering stack. Most recently I've worked on the front end side of things and am specialized in using React professionally, but I'm quick to pick up new technologies as necessary. (personally I prefer Svelte when working on my own projects) Go and Typescript are my two favorite languages. I've consistently been told by my managers that I work fast or was one of the best engineers they had on their team.

Personally I'm looking for a job that I feel like actually has some kind of positive benefit on the world, or something that seems particularly challenging or interesting. This can range anywhere from a note-taking application to managing retirement funds to writing a Typescript to Go compiler to writing a new database. I'm not interested in one of the 5 million AI hype cycle jobs (partly because I dislike LLMs), and I actively hate the blockchain, ads, and tracking users. I do not, and will never, compromise on privacy issues.

A list of things you should know about me and how I'm going to do my best work for you:

* I want to be able to work on something a bit more interesting than another simple REST application.

* I want my hours to be flexible, meaning when I start/end or being able to take some time in the middle of the day for groceries or a doctors appointment.

* I want to be able to come up with ideas I think would be useful/interesting and be given some time to work on them. I know that there are things I'm going to have to do for the business that aren't going to be these things, but I need some amount of time to do this or I'm going to struggle as a worker.

* I'm going to have strong opinions about all sorts of things, and I expect to be able to have a conversation about them and not just be dismissed.

* I'm going to want to improve things, and if I continuously get told "no", it's going to kill my morale.

I've previously lived in Japan a couple decades ago and studied the language intensively for 2 years at that time in one of the schools dedicated to helping foreigners go to university or get jobs there. (specifically at: 東京平田日本語学院. I almost passed JLPT N2 then, but I'm nowhere close to that level currently) I've recently been picking back up on studying Japanese again to maybe fulfill a long-held dream of going back to Japan longer than a vacation. So on the off chance you're someone in Japan hiring for a position you think I'd be a fit for (and you're not a black company), please reach out.

Looking for contract or consulting work. I can do development (iOS, macOS, web). I can solve dev velocity challenges and implement Continuous Deployment. And I can overhaul QA and production health practices within organizations by working directly with teams and management.

  Location: Toronto
  Remote: yes
  Willing to relocate: no (but I am a US citizen and am frequently in NYC)
  Technologies: Apple native development (SwiftUI, UIKit, AppKit), Python, Django, Postgres, devops tools. Scalability and high availability and dev velocity focused skill set, besides the mobile dev work. I am proficient with OpenAI Codex for assisted coding (I understand how to review its work and direct the architecture) and am perfectly capable of manual coding/debugging too.
  Résumé/CV: N/A at the moment (contact me for it) but I built and scaled the backend for DrawQuest (top 10 iPad/iOS app), directed teams (devops, platform, full stack, mobile) at Top Hat for 8 years, and independently built this iOS app business the last few years: https://reader.manabi.io
