Résumé/CV: Looking for new challenges and opportunities - note, I don’t have a traditional HN dev background, but I suspect more than a few companies on this board intersect with my world...

Knowledge/Skills:

- Strong background in navigating and managing the US government contracting process from both sides of the table as both a federal manager and a government contractor

- Experience and insight into working with the US National Lab complex

- Demonstrated success in managing globally distributed teams that bring multimillion-dollar projects in on time and on budget with a high degree of quality

- Successfully negotiated security agreements and contracts with dozens of foreign government agencies

- Proven history of building diverse, deeply integrated teams, with diverse skill sets (security, intelligence, science, logistics, engineering, IT, and communications) to design solutions to complex problems in very challenging environments

What I do now:

- Program Director working in a National Security field holding an active Q/TS/SCI w/ poly

- Manage a ~$100M+ annual budget w/ oversight of 150+ FTEs organized into distributed teams working on complex projects in 30+ foreign countries across the globe

- GS15 equivalent with both a policy and program implementation background at senior USG leadership level

Previous work includes: physical and political risk assessments for clients operating in potentially dangerous environments, sub-contractor as a national security subject matter expert for multiple US National Laboratories, sub-contractor for Palantir sub (back when they used to use other companies for forward deployed), research analyst at a policy institute on defense and intelligence topics, other interesting stuff…

Technologies : C, C++, SIMD, OpenGL, JS/Typescript, Rails, PHP, SQL, Many CSS preprocessors, AWS, Heroku

I'm a competent C and C++ programmer. The C++ spec weighs a lot, so I'm hesitant to call myself an expert, but I have a good working knowledge of the languages. For a previous employer I worked on a commercial Windows IDE for ~3 years.

I've been working on the foundations of a 3D game engine for ~3 years, which has taught me a great deal about C, systems and graphics programming on both Win32 and Linux. I chose to build it without libraries (Handmade Hero style) which began as a learning exercise, but ended up turning into a way of life. I'm in the process of porting to WebGL.

I can configure and maintain webservers, proxies and load balancers having worked with the web for 10 years.

I have a good understanding of the Linux network stack and APIs at the systems level - I've worked on several custom TCP + UDP protocols in the past.

I love building tools. Sometimes I feel like I was made to build tools. I build all kinds of tools - tools for computers, tools for automotive maintenance, tools for making tools. I've been building a game engine, which I would consider a collection of tools, for years and I still enjoy working on it.

Lastly, and I think this is interrelated with the tools thing, I'm a systems programmer at heart. I love having direct access to the chip and needing to understand the hardware architecture, as opposed to the internals of an interpreter, to write well-working and well-performing code.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held".

I enjoy backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing, hiking, biking and beer! I live on Vancouver Island, BC Canada and would strongly prefer to work remotely. I've been working remotely for several years for companies in the Bay Area and just love it.

If you think I could be a good fit for your team and would like to chat I can be contacted by email at jesse.hughes.it@gmail.com

Cheers,

Jesse
