Location: BC, Canada (-08:00 UTC)

Hello there, Jesse here.

I'm looking to work on a small team of highly motivated individuals doing innovative and, more importantly, meaningful work. Areas that sound interesting to me are graphics, computer vision, compiler development and genetics/genomics to name a few.

I have experience (10 years) building CRUD APIs for the web in all manner of interpreted languages and frameworks.

I've worked on multiple compilers both for fun and profit, a 3D game engine, memory allocators, parsers, a Windows IDE, IBM mainframes running RPG (wtf .. people still use these!?), binary and text-based network protocols, lots of CRUD applications both frontend & backend, setup web servers from scratch many times, written C++ node modules .. I think you get the idea. I'm comfortable writing and deploying code to pretty much any platform.

I have a diverse skillset that could be valuable to your company if you're looking for someone with a well rounded knowledge of CS, coupled with good understanding of how to write well-working software. I consider myself to be a craftsman, and firmly believe in shipping high quality software. I feel the quality of most software today is _far_ lower than it could be, and make a conscious effort to set a high bar in terms of quality for myself and, to the best of my ability, encourage those around me to do the same.

If you think we could do good work together, please contact me at my email address listed above. Cheers, Jesse.

I'm a senior engineer & technical leader with 20 years of experience building and operating online services, including at Facebook, large ISPs and many startups.

I've been working for two years after getting a Bachelors degree at the University of Washington. I'm an ambitious software developer with many years ahead of me.

I am interested in almost any challenging software development space, but particularly back-end web development. I also have an large interest in robotics and compilers. I do not have an interest in almost anything ad-related. I don't like ads :)

  Location: Vancouver, WA
  Remote: Yes (preferred)
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: PHP, Python, Ruby, JS (Angular, Vue, React, jQuery, Vanilla), SQL, Linux, FreeBSD

I enjoy learning new technologies and working on inspiring projects. In addition, I prefer to work throughout the full stack as my background has required full understanding from UI through to the full backend infrastructure. The majority of my experience has been in the startup space, and I'd prefer to move back into that type of environment over working for another medium/large corporation.

I'm also very passionate about security and am studying to pursue the OSCP later this year, so any roles in secure development or appsec will catch my eye over full stack roles, though I'm open to most opportunities.

Hybrid engineer & recent grad (December 2019). Happy to work on product or full stack. Not afraid to flex sales/ops muscles either. Growth mindset. I was working on my own venture but pandemic resulted in a loss of funding. Hoping to join a team where I can have an impact, learn + grow, and add value to people + product.
