Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

--------

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I'd describe myself as a competent generalist and a lifelong learner. I'm frequently working on something I've never done before.

My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup where I wrote prototypes for a compiler and a cycle simulator.

One of my personal projects of ~10 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 the CRT for startup), which began as a learning exercise, but has taught me the value of simplicity.

I've also been working on a metaprogramming system for C & CPP. Think templates/constexpr, but significantly more ergonomic. It turns out I have a small passion for compilers. It currently generates many tens of thousands of lines of code for my game engine project including containers and an interactive realtime data visualization/editor.

On the optimization side of things, I recently wrote the world's fastest open-source AVX2 Perlin noise implementation, and wrote about the process on my blog. I beat the state-of-the-art by ~1.8x, which took me about two weeks.

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!

Cheers, Jesse

Location: Denver, CO

Remote: yes

Role: Staff+ Engineer, Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, or Co-founder

I'm a serial builder who thrives in the space between engineering and business. Over the last 10 years I've:

- Designed autonomous driving tech (Mercedes)

- Built threat detection systems + data platforms (Proofpoint)

- Led AI teams tackling real-world problems in support + finance (Velocity Global)

Pattern: I like taking hard technical problems, translating them into real-world value, and iterating fast with whoever's in the room — ops, finance, legal, you name it. I'm most useful where "that's not how we do things" isn't the end of the conversation.

Looking for a team that wants to build ambitious things and have a little fun along the way.
