Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, Ruby, PostgreSQL, SQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Debezium, Change Data Capture (CDC), Redis, Docker, Jest, Express, WebSockets

Email: cameronbibb@gmail.com

Hey, I'm Cameron! I enjoy building dynamic, high-performance applications—ranging from responsive UIs with React to real-time backend systems that scale.

Most recently, I created Willow, an open-source framework for building Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines. It leverages Kafka, Debezium, and PostgreSQL to process database changes in real time. You can check it out here: https://willow-cdc.github.io/.

What I bring to the table:

- React & Frontend Expertise: Built component-driven UIs with React, TypeScript, and Material UI - Backend & Data Processing: Designed scalable APIs, database workflows, and event-driven systems - Distributed Systems & Real-Time Data: Worked with Kafka, WebSockets, Redis, and CDC pipelines - DevOps Awareness: Experience with Docker, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and performance tuning

I'm looking for remote opportunities where I can work on scalable web apps, high-performance APIs, and data-driven workflows.

If that sounds like a fit, let’s chat!

19 YOE designing, testing, building, operating, and automating networks. From tiny three PoP mini ISP networks, to thousands of PoPs and tens of thousands of devices, and multi-continent global routing; I've worked on a wide range of networks. I attend and speak at conferences, engage in the IETF, and help to organise industry events. My spare time projects were in C, now I’m using Rust. I've most recently been working on network architecture, BGP analysis, and product development, but I love all areas of networking.

Post by Keloran » Mon, Jan 05, 2026, 1:13 PM UTC

Location: UK

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Go, Typescript, React, and almost everything else but those are my current stack

CV: https://keloran.dev/post/cv

Email: jobs.at.develbox.info

I am a backend engineer with over 25 years of experience in almost every language at this point, but I have been mainly dealing with Go/Typescript for the last 5 years, I have a million projects and an absolute ton of code online

https://github.com/keloran

____

A good example of a project is https://flags.gg which is a multi-tenant/project/agent/environment system which has language support in Swift/Kotlin/PHP/Ruby/Rust/Go/React and is in use in things like

https://interviews.tools which is an interview planning system that has a website written in typescript/react and an iOS app written in Swift (hence the language support) which exists on the App Store, and an Android app written in Kotlin (again hence the language support) which will/should be in the play store by the end of next week (been through testing already just waiting for play store approval)

I would prefer not to do technical tests, you don't ask a surgeon with 20 years experience to cut someone up, you accept that yes they know how to do simple things like how to write a for loop (to stretch the analogy) as I have said I have hundreds of thousands of lines of code online if you want to check out my code
