About me: 15+ years of experience as a hands-on cloud engineering leader driving reliability, security, efficiency, and scale.

The issue of misrepresentation is not a minority of activity, as I explicitly pointed out in my comment ("30–40% ..."). And yes, my resume does. I do not owe you to prove this, but I will. Here are some snippets from my resume:

"Strong math, CS, & ML backgrounds (graduate-level), physics and chemistry are so-so, and biology is weak."

"Worked one summer on [redacted] at [redacted], and another summer at [redacted] updating Python2 code to Python3."

I'm not putting the rest because (1) I prefer pseudonymity, (2) "trade" secrets.

  Location: Montreal, Canada.
  Remote: Yes, open to hybrid.
  Willing to relocate: Yes, if compensation matches cost of living.
  Technologies: Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, Vue.js, Dart/Flutter (just dipping my toes), Postgres, MySQL, AWS, Docker, getting currently acquainted with K8s and Elixir.
  Résumé/CV: Sent upon request, along with blog and sample projects.

About me: I'm a versatile and adaptable software developer with a long experience building back-end systems, mostly for Web apps (e.g. API, SaaS, etc). In recent years I've also picked up some valuable front-end skills working with Vue.js. I believe that much of my experience is transferable to new paradigms, if need be. I can adapt to various team dynamics and development philosophies, but I tend to thrive in environments that encourage developers to be autonomous, exert judgment, and be responsible.

I'm looking forward to hear about you and your project.

Location: Aurora, CO

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies:

Ruby, GraphQL, React.js, Node.js, GitHub, CSS, Kubernetes, MySQL, Postgres, RESTful APIs, TypeScript

Dynamic engineering Manager and Technical Project Manager at a global FinTech enterprise with experience managing teams of up to 10 remote team members while contributing individually to the launch of critical features and platform stability. Served as de-facto Product Manager of payments, assets and identity.

Built the engineering product support team from the ground up to support millions of dollars in transactions and all core business functions.

Looking for Engineering Management, technical project management or other similar leadership roles that blend Software Engineering, management, and product management. Ideally, in the Fintech or identity sector.

I also have a strong desire to get back to a focus on the code as a backend or full stack engineer, and less managing the team/projects. Even as an EM/TPM, I still found myself putting up PRs often because I really enjoyed it. I'd happily consider a more junior engineering role where I could be a bit more of an IC. In a past life, I actually franchised a coding bootcamp and brought it to my city in an effort to eventually learn the skills myself. I did so after 4 years of building it up, but I have found my unique experience in marketing, business development and more tends to move me into positions of managing teams and working with stakeholders quickly.

- apologies for the life story!

I'm an experienced Data scientist, who's worked on a bunch of interesting projects. With Covid I've come to realize I need to work in public more often.

So an ideal fit would be a small/medium company with hair on fire problems that need solving that I can talk about publicly.

What sort of problems do I like?

A Taxi company in latam hired me to built a fleet maintenance system. It predicted and scheduled preventative maintenance to reduce wear and tear and avoid breakdowns. We also identified the leading cause of wear - leadfoot drivers. So we built a system that would identify aggressive driving.

Another example was a speculative sports highlights annotation system I built with a consultancy. It ingested sports video and identified predetermined highlights in baseball - diving catches in our case. The ML pipeline was a CNN model which fed into an RNN. Given a bunch of video clips of diving catches as training data, it could later identify those diving catches and automatically annotate the video feeds.

Who shouldn't contact me.

If your market is Ads or gambling I'm not interested. Sure there's lot of money, but I'd rather sleep at night. Thanks.
