As a certified engineer I find fulfilment in building products that reInvent the world. Every project I build is like a child to me. It must be nurtured with the highest standards. I have successfully built and launched several solutions such as payment links and pages, used daily by thousands of users navigating complex international regulatory and compliance requirements. I have worked on projects which have been vetted by PCI security standard. I find joy in my current work but it is time to move onto the next venture. I am currently open for work. Find below the technologies I have used.

Frameworks: ReactJS · NextJS · ExpressJS · NestJS · Spring · SpringBoot Languages: Javascript · Typescript · Java · MATLAB (Research) Messaging Queues : Apache Kafka · RabbitMQ Caching Mechanisms : Redis · Memcached SQL DB : MySQL · PostgreSQL No SQL DB : MongoDB · DynamoDB Cloud Platforms : AWS, GCP, Azure, Heroku, Digital Ocean CI/CD: Github, Gitlab, Jira Project Management Methodology: Agile, Waterfall, Scrum Architectures: Monolithic, SOA, Micro-services

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I'm looking to solve hard technical problems that have a net-positive impact on the world.

I'd describe myself as a competent generalist; a lifelong learner. I'm pretty much always working on something I've never done before, in the context of one of a handful of long-running side-projects I have.

One of my side-projects of about 7 years is a 3D game engine. Working on it has taught me a great deal about systems and graphics programming. It runs on Windows, Linux and Web (WASM/WebGL). I chose to build it without any libraries (barring a couple CRT functions), which began as a learning exercise, and has taught me the value of simplicity.

In more recent history I've been working on a metaprogramming system for C. Think C++ templates/constexpr, but fast to compile, and with intelligble error messages. It turns out I have a small passion for compilers. I was also recently contributing to Oil, a new bash runtime and POSIX compliant shell.

I've done a significant amount of web development, having started my career as a web developer. I would certainly consider joining a web development shop with a compelling team and product. I've worked with probably a dozen web frameworks, running the gamut from CodeIgniter to Rails and React/JS frameworks.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held". Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer! I split my time between Canada, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

Cheers,

Jesse

Johnny here,

I'm a generalist software engineer (backend & ops focus) with experience in building apps from start to finish (architecture, backend, UIs, cli tools, infra & deployment on premise or cloud). I can adapt well in various project settings (one man show, teams, microservice based apps, monoliths).

Hey! We're hiring at Tinybird, this might be interesting for you https://www.tinybird.co/job-offers/backend-engineer ?

Please don't - it starts to cross into spamming and invites an arms race from others. If you think someone might be a good fit for your role, you can use their contact info to contact them.

Sorry!

Location: SF Bay Area

Remote: Prefer to work in-office, but would consider remote opportunities.

Willing to relocate: Possibly, for the right opportunity.

Technologies: Linux, Python, Rust, C, Kubernetes

I have been working in SRE/infrastructure roles for the past 13 years at employers including Google, Facebook, and several smaller companies.

I am interested in both SRE-type positions and roles developing systems software. I'd especially like to work with rust or on open source software.

My job search started a few days ago so I don't have an updated resume yet, but my work history can be found on my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markatto

    Location: New Mexico

Résumé: https://quxbaz-resume.vercel.app

I am seeking a position as a mid or senior-level front-end engineer. I have 8+ years of experience working at various levels of responsibility as a front-end developer throughout my career. My previous work was as the creator of a thorough visualization of MMA matchups (https://mmabetsharp.com). The work encompassed a large breadth of skills including core front-end work, design, visualization, scraping, data structuring, as well as social media engagement via public discourse and other various channels.

I consider myself a generalist in the front-end space. I have a good knowledge of web technology fundamentals, but I also rather appreciate the higher level tools brought in by the React-era.

I have experience in ecommerce, both as a developer and administrator. I have worked on the development of inventory management tools for online clothing retailers. I have also used the Shopify platform to create a portal to sell woodworking products.

I have enough maturity as a developer to balance the cost of writing maintainable software with the need to write effective software quickly. I understand software is inherently complex, and if neglected, tends to devolve into something very difficult. I also understand businesses and companies, especially smaller ones, operate with limited resources, and that the ability to drive a product forwards can be essential.

I've been thinking about... The nature of complexity in software. How can we apply functional programming concepts to a domain that is largely event-driven and mobilized by effects? How can we reduce excessive "wiring" between components and increase modularity? How can we create a level of abstraction over system components that ensures logical consistency while avoiding excessive overhead? How do we balance the need for "correctness" (typing, tests, refactoring, experimentation) with the need to deliver a product within limited time and resource constraints?

Aside, I also have some experience with physical goods, having created and operated a small woodworking company for 3 years. During the time I received unsolicited praise for the top quality of my work. I apply the same ethic to my programming work:

I value clean design, code consistency, architectural durability, and simplicity whenever possible.

I describe myself as... Easygoing, reliable, flexible, adaptable, and a clear communicator.
