I have a PhD in computer engineering, specializing in operations research. I can translate all kinds of real-world problems into mathematical models that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other methods. I'm the father of four young children, so I'm looking for flexible/remote part-time work. I'm also open to contract work (see my comment in the "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" thread for more details).

Location: India

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: In India, yes

Technologies: ReactJS, Typescript, Javascript, NodeJS, HTML, CSS, C++, Kotlin, Java, LUA, MySQL

I've a 6-month internship experience at BYJU's in the frontend, full-stack team working in technologies like ReactJS (redux, saga, etc), Typescript, HTML, NodeJS where I worked directly on the monthly sprint features/items that got delivered into production where I handled some of the projects myself alone with 100% of contribution.

Apart from this, I have worked as Full Stack Developer in FiveM (GTA 5 Multiplayer) server, where I developed some resources including the frontend and backend, mission scripts, algorithm optimizations for large concurrent player base (probably highest in that community), etc.

I have some good projects (mentioned in resume) that are live into the production, where people are actually using it, rather be it in a game server or production.

I'm a quick learner and can adapt to any new technologies in short duration of time and getting into the depth by time.

I'm a 2024 batch graduate fresher looking for Full Time opportunities.

Location: Midwest, USA

Remote: Preferred

Willing to relocate: No

Résumé/CV: Available upon request. I keep the work associated with my online accounts private.

- 8 years of professional development experience as a full stack developer.

- Most familiar (use most days): Python, FastAPI, Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Linux, MacOS, Docker, AWS (EC2, RDS, Elastic Beanstalk, IAM), Git

- Familiar (Use most months): ElasticSearch, CloudSearch, Tailwind, Vue

- Hobbies (Used on at least one completed project over the past five years): Go, Zig, C, C++, Rust, Phoenix, NoSQL, MongoDB, (probably more, but these were the ones that came to mind.)

My day job has me performing two main functions:

- Building full stack web development systems. I generally lean more towards writing backend code, and documenting our infrastructure. UI is my weakest area. This role has me working in datasets with ~1 billion row tables, and search indexes with ~100 million documents. Since we're a small company (~8 developers), I have been a major part of the architecture of our systems over the past 8 years. We've got five separate core businesses that our dev team supports, and I've been a part of architecting and implementing all of them. I would prefer to focus more on backend development in a future role.

- Creating one-off scripts or processes to assist in business functions. These tend to involve quickly reverse engineering undocumented web APIs we have permission to use, and querying them for our customers. At their simplest, these are a mix of writing some SQL and a few HTTP requests. At their most complicated, they have involved designing and implementing a tree structure to accurately model the business domain, and then pulling data about these structures from relevant public APIs.

- This month, I reduced the cost of a company's AWS CloudSearch spend by 80% (over 10k/month) by reviewing their codebase, doing some reasearch, and improving what they were storing and how they were doing so. This required a one-line code change on the existing codebase, and writing a new, short (~500 line) indexer. Doing a deep dive into the single highest AWS line item was the impetus for the project, and frankly, it turned out far better than expected.

Outside of work, I run https://www.thiswebsitewillselfdestruct.com, a website I built and maintain. It really will self-destruct, and it reaches ~100k users and handles ~13M requests each month. Building tools and infrastructure to manage its moderation and keep it a positive community has been a huge learning experience.
