I'm a software engineer and designer with 2 decades of experience across a wide range of industries, from B2B factory-floor logistics to language design to cute consumer web apps. I specialize in helping small teams solve tricky technical and process problems. Is your team not delivering as fast as you expect? Are you dealing with more bugs or more setbacks than you think you should? Is there some tricky architectural or design problem you can't crack on your own? I can help push your codebase and your team improve, so that you'll be running on greased rails even after our contract is done.
Here are some of the technologies I'm comfortable working with:
AngularJS, Angular, AWS (S3, Lambda, RDS, &c.), C, CSS, Creative Cloud, Flask, git, mercurial, svn, darcs, Glamor, GCS, HTML, Javascript/ECMAscript, Lisps of many varieties, Next, Photoshop, Python, Ruby on Rails, React, Ruby, SASS, SCSS, Svelte, Swift, Typescript, Vue
I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 9 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.
You will like working with me because I:
* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done
* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions!
* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.
* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.
* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.
While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.
I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.
I am also open to work for companies anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.
In addition, my plan to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up your team.
10+ years experience in python, both scientific (numpy, pandas, matplotlib, statsmodels, jupyter) and web backend (django, flask, sqlalchemy). Also experienced in R (experiment design, linear and nonlinear analysis, graphic presentation of data). Previous experience in experimental design and analysis when I was a manufacturing engineer in semiconductors. Able to work W2 or 1099, remote or in-person (as long as it's in Austin). Willing to do full or part-time.
Remote: Yes (have worked exclusively remotely for past 13 years)
Willing to relocate: No
I've been doing backend work for the past 13 years, with Python, Django, and Django REST Framework. I'm intimately familiar with schema and data migrations, including migrations between Django projects. I've done a lot of full-stack work as well, with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, and React.js. I've worked extensively with startups and I've worked with Twitter. I have a lot of experience working with distributed teams and am open to occasional travel. Available full (~32hrs) or part time. Interested in Python work or full-stack with Python.

I work primarily with established businesses that have old systems in need of someone who can come in and orient without suggesting that they gut the whole system.
I've been told that I'm a good "translator" for business owners who get overwhelmed by the technical jargon tossed at them from other dev shops.
I'm obsessed with clearly communicating and documenting the trade-offs made during a project so we can evaluate our choices later on down the life and pivot when necessary.
With 8 years of experience building everything from interactive front-ends to from-scratch MVP products, you'll get the most value from me as a technical partner, rather than just a code monkey. I'm not a "yes-man" (That's a feature!) I will push back on short-sighted technical decisions that will hinder your business's long-term growth.
I have a non-technical business partner who helps us orient around your business needs, but we are not an agency! I'm just a dude, with another dude and we come together to suggest and implement whatever solution makes the most sense for you and your business.
