Principal DevOps, Platform, Systems, Site Reliability Engineer. 19+ yrs experience building/running systems (mostly Linux), writing software (mostly python/perl/c/bash/go), working with dev teams, in-cloud & on-premise, for startups & enterprises.

I'd really love to work with a high-performing team on challenging problems, but I'd also be happy to help a team level up its performance and product delivery from a systems perspective. Motivated most by industries/products/services that help people & the environment. Also motivated to replace crappy old tooling with modern best practice tools, improving security & reliability, reducing pain/toil, and increasing productivity.

FT?: Open to FTE for right opportunity, very open to contracts, especially if they can fluctuate between PT/FT, or are contract to hire.

Technologies: Ruby, Rails, Ops (heroku/aws/ansible/docker), CI/CD, testing, API design, integrations/plumbing. Some: Python, Elm, IoT stuff, machine learning Love: architecture, mentoring, useful and absurd experimentation

Email: hello_from_hn@ericstiens.dev

Resume: http://tinyurl.com/eshnresume2024

--

Senior full-stack dev (lean more towards devops->backend than backend->frontend, but I can still sling some React components together and reduce your JS payload size). Lately I've been loving Stimulus Reflex and playing with a lot of micropython/ESP32/IoT stuff.

I excel at figuring out how to solve problems at all levels of abstraction (including what level of abstraction you should use), getting a solution in place, and then figuring out the feedback loops to iterate on that solution. I'm the senior engineer that knows that most coding is coming to an understanding of what problem you are trying to solve. Sometimes the most impactful code is the code you don't write.

Trying to change the world, still parsing the source code. I've been programming on the web since 1995, had a first career as a social worker and policy statistician, and have worked full-time as a programmer for almost a decade now.

Especially enjoy API and system design, integrating with crappy systems, user research, and really weird bugs. Make a decent PM in a pinch, but would prefer you have great PMs.

Will give you more looks if you can tell me why what you are doing makes the world better, but you've got to really believe it in your heart.
