I'm a software development generalist with over a decade of experience. My strong suit is my wide range of experience and versatility: I've done web (backend, frontend, scraping), infrastructure automation, tooling, functional programming (Haskell, NixOS).

I pride myself on having the courage to tackle any problem. For example, most recently, I added a feature to an open source client for SQL Server. The work involved dealing with binary protocols, which I hadn't done before, see here:

I'm currently also pursuing a masters in applied math, where I'm learning topics such as Numerical Methods, Risk Theory, Game Theory, Stochastic Processes, Statistics and others.

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Python, Django, FastAPI, DRF, TypeScript, React, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, Nest.js, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Supabase

I'm a senior full-stack software engineer (8+ YOE) with extensive experience in building and FINISHING complete solutions for clients. For example, I've led the architecture and implementation of machine-learning pipelines, booking engines, ERP and CRM systems, internal enterprise tools, etc.

Additionally, my experience with startups is a significant strength, as I approach every solution I build with the perspective of both users and stakeholders, not only the developer's.

Highlights:

- Built a real-time ML data annotation platform, directly contributing to the company's revenue, achieving twice as many annotated documents as in the legacy system that was used before.

- Reduced heavy loads via carefully architected async pipelines, improving the performance and system resiliency.

- Led development of a tour booking engine (React/Next/Django) from architecture to launch.

- Comfortable mentoring, reviewing, and guiding teams while shipping clean, tested, and extendable code.

I prefer contract-based, fully remote B2B roles. If you need someone who can take ownership of architecture while executing hands-on, let's talk.

Environmental policy and governance researcher with corporate sustainability training. In my PhD and postdoc research, I have used collaborative, qualitative, and statistical methods to investigate questions in the fields of environmental policy, governance, rural sustainability, and water security in the United States and East and Southeast Asia.

Looking for a policy analysis, research, or regulatory intelligence role in climate, sustainability, or carbon market related startups. I can track emerging policy developments across key frameworks and translate complex regulatory changes into strategic recommendations that help startups navigate compliance, identify market opportunities, and anticipate regulatory risks.

Also open to short-term or contract roles such as producing case studies, white papers, and policy blueprints.

I am a strong communicator, enjoy working collaboratively, and am always eager to learn.
