My primary experience is subscription ecommerce (starting in tech support and moving into fullstack engineering) and fincom. I'm always happy to learn new tech, but I've mostly done Python and JS/TS in the past few years.

Recently built a pure C http server, by hand, with an online game bundled into it, in C, by hand, served on a website as a modern spin on MUD (multi-user dungeons). Also, recently built a vanilla (no 3rd party libs no AI) html/css/js with css3d card game - https://spirofloropoulos.com/css3dtabletop

Full-stack web, software and game developer, specializing in high-performance, minimal-dependency solutions. Available as an individual contributor, lead developer, or consultant. I excel at simple, efficient code and pushing web technologies to their limits. Can mentor teams or bring expertise to complex projects.

Proven track record of building multi-million dollar websites from scratch to production.

Stellar references.

Also experienced in technical streaming (online content), community engagement, and mentoring developers on modern dev practices.

hi! I'm David, a software/devops engineer with a passion for grit and going from 0 to 1. I've been building software and infrastructure for over 10 years, and most recently have built enterprise B2B SaaS products for organizations in the cybersecurity space.

I run a consulting company (atomweight.io), and have provided infosec, devops, and software engineering services to a variety of clients. I am open to both full-time and contract engagements.

I don't particularly enjoy coasting or clocking out at 5pm (mostly since I'm a night owl), so I'm looking for opportunities where I can move fast, build, ship fast, contribute the most value, and grow. If my skills and experience seem like a good fit for your needs, please reach out!

    Remote: Yes
    Willing to relocate: No (but see below)

I'm a generalist software engineer with most of my experience (14YOE professional) in backend, platform, infra, and DevOps stuff. I'm currently employed and love where I am and what I do, but I intend to relocate to the EU in 2028 and my job (federal contracting) is incompatible with that goal.

I'm very interested in deep learning, formal verification, and compliance automation, but also artificial life, complexity science, robotics, cybernetics (as in Beer), computational social sciences, network science, transit, city planning, etc.

I use Claude Code happily at work, as directed, and seen significant (though not unqualified) productivity gains. I've used it to varying degrees on different personal projects. I'm avoiding it now on personal projects (to retain and build skill). I can work anywhere along that spectrum.

I enjoy learning about what other people are working on, so even if you're not hiring or not interested in hiring _me_, I'd love to connect. I've had some genuinely transformative conversations with people I've met on HN, and I'd love to have more.

*EDIT*: I mean "I'd love to connect" IF you're not just trying to sell me something - especially your shitty AI résumé- or interview-prep services, you hacks.

Independent systems developer, 27.

Filed US Provisional Patent #63/942,399 in December 2025 covering an offline memory lifecycle management system for mobile AI. Reference implementation on Android (M3mo Vault): FTS4 + TF-IDF hybrid search at 0.78 microseconds/memory on 10K-entry scale, 7-factor decay algorithm validated via ablation study (12x weight differentiation vs 2x baseline), 7-layer ServiceLocator DI replacing Hilt.

Also building Entropix Engine — a zero-GC browser game engine in vanilla JavaScript sustaining 3,000+ entities at 60 TPS. Structure-of-Arrays memory layout, GridHash spatial partitioning, deterministic fixed-timestep loop, featuring an adaptive grid-sampling fix resolving buffer overflow on high-refresh-rate displays. Live prototype on https://retroindex.org. 60 days into development, 13 milestones shipped. Weekly devlog on r/gamedev.

Past commercial work: scaled an e-commerce operation from $20K/mo to $140K/mo (7x) over 2 years through hand-coded HTML and SEO engineering — 700+ product pages under strict eBay platform constraints (no external CSS/JS allowed), with automated template pipeline reducing launch time 20%.

Background: BS Data Analysis Psychology, UC Davis (2021).

Looking for: contract or full-time remote roles in mobile AI infrastructure, on-device AI memory systems, performance-critical JavaScript/TypeScript, or e-commerce engineering. Open to indie hacker collaborations and Show HN partnerships.
