I am the founder of https://codeinput.com, a product focused on reducing friction during the development cycle. This means merge conflicts, slow/broken CI pipelines, and branching strategies that don't scale or become too chaotic to manage. I'm taking on consulting engagements covering CI/CD pipelines, code ownership, and branch management. Currently focused on teams using GitHub only. First exploratory hour is free.

  Technologies:
  - Python, FastAPI, Flask, 
  - JavaScript / TypeScript, React, TailwindCSS
  - Docker, AWS, Postgres, CI/CD, terraform
  - AI/ML, MCP, agents, RAG, fine-tuning, prompt engineering

  Experience:
  - Led projects and small teams; also comfortable as an individual contributor
  - Bridging product, engineering, and domain expertise
  - Building and shipping products end-to-end
  - Designing and integrating AI features into real-world applications

I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 8+ years of experience, primarily focused on Python backend development. I have an academic background in AI and deep experience building AI-powered products, including work prior to the recent LLM wave. Ex-founder of a medical software company, where I led the development team and worked closely with domain experts and users to shape the product. Also previous first employee at a YC-backed startup, helping take the company from idea to a multi-product suite. I shaped and led development of two products, including one that generated $100k+ in pre-launch revenue based on the demos.

  Looking for:
  - Remote role, ideally 4 days/week
  - Individual contributor or hybrid roles with product and technical ownership

I’m currently available for a 4-day workweek and flexible in how this is structured (e.g., longer days). Open to project based freelancing if it is a good fit. I prefer fully async environments, but I’m open to partial overlap.

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Remote: Yes (US/EU friendly)

Willing to relocate: Open to short on-site trips

Technologies: Rust, TypeScript, Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, edge compute, audit-trail / cryptographic-provenance systems (SHA-256, RFC 8785 JCS canonicalization), AI inference proxying, full-stack web, PostgreSQL.

Résumé/CV: https://jakejoyner.com/cv/

Email: jakejoyner9@gmail.com

I'm building AILedger (ailedger.dev) — tamper-evident chain of custody for every AI inference an enterprise's product makes, aimed at the EU AI Act Article 12 / Article 79 compliance question (enforcement August 2, 2026). Pre-revenue, in early customer conversations. Public Rust work at github.com/jakejjoyner.

Primarily seeking short-term contract work (4-12 weeks, ~20-30 hr/week, $150/hr) to fund AILedger's runway. Open to fractional-engineer engagements. Will consider full-time only if exceptionally aligned with the AILedger thesis — compliance / AI infrastructure / audit / Cloudflare-edge stack.

Strongest fit:

- Audit / compliance-adjacent infrastructure: tamper-evident logging, evidence collection, SOC 2 / AI Act prep, cryptographic provenance.

- Cloudflare Workers / edge compute / API proxying — including AI inference middleware (cost metering, prompt-injection defense, observability).

- Rust greenfield, or Rust-meets-TypeScript stacks.

- Full-stack product work where correctness matters more than ship-speed.

I’m Mark, a Dutch product designer who codes. Always have, it’s what got me hooked on design over a decade ago. Since, I’ve worn many hats working in startups.

I love collaborating with founders and small teams. By working across design, engineering, and product, I help them build simple, effective, and reliable software.

I’m ideally looking for a company where I get to go beyond making pictures of interfaces. I want to build products alongside developers (in production).
