#62Full stack Rails developer with tons of product management experience.
My sweet spot is helping founders with deep domain experience who are funded and need to build a v1. B2B SaaS is my specialty.
I've worked with the CEOs of Predictable Revenue and Headphones.com, and brands like ESPN. A recent success includes working with a client CEO to take his idea from napkin to $130M in revenue.
Been building and shipping software professionally for 18 years, on Rails for 11, and consulting remotely for 10+. My clients like my approach because it's pragmatic, thoughtful, and focused on business growth: I've run three B2B SaaS businesses (and sold two of them). I see technology as a leveraged tool for growing a business, not an end in itself.
Looking for projects that are ready to start soon. Ideal project is B2B SaaS with a budget of US$20k+.

Hi there! I'm Dylan. I'm excited to help you (and your team, as applicable) to grow, to build, and to ship. I genuinely enjoy listening to, and deepening my understanding of, your needs; working with you to design and develop appropriate solutions; and putting them out into the world. In a pinch, I'm happy to help your growing company migrate from Heroku onto AWS.
Technically, my specialization has been around developing and deploying Ruby on Rails applications and the infrastructure underpinning them. My deep experience with systems and networks-cum-DevOps well predates the term "DevOps", going back about 20 years.
In terms of industry, I've long worked with social impact-focused organizations, particularly in education and healthcare. I'm professional, well-exposed to the particularities in these markets, and pragmatic regarding business needs in the social impact sector.
Let's have a conversation to see if we can find ways to help each other get better. I look forward to hearing from you.

Experienced full-stack developer with a machine learning focus. Building data-driven applications that deliver material business results is my specialty.

Available for the following:

* Quantitative Risk Management (Hedge Funds/HFT/Systematic Trading)
- extensive experience developing regulatory/operational/trading risk management tools in quantitative finance.
I enjoy solving business problems with software and diving into various domains and building solutions that have a material impact on the bottom line. One of my best performing projects (continues to save millions annually) required 70% digging into a problem domain and 30% coding. Another recent project I'm proud of is an ML-powered pricing engine that's given a $250+M funded competitor's service in the space a run for it's money. I've produced results working both as a member of a technical team and independently (working directly with key stakeholders/executives).Re: Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer? (September 2019)
#65I have 14 years professional experience in systems engineering and infrastructure development.
I've helped companies get their affairs in order in the cloud, going from AWS accounts with ad-hoc management to well-oiled machines with change management, accountability, and an audit trail.
I've implemented monitoring systems that took companies from losing money to millions in profits, thanks to automated discovery and no more missing of important alerts.
I'm well versed in containers, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD. My primary languages for development are Go and Python.
