Résumé/CV:

Hi I’m Artur, from Labcodes. We’re a software boutique based in Brazil. We’re results-driven and internationally recognized for our 7+ years of partnership with US companies.

We’re experts in Python/Django, Javascript/React, and UI/UX design. Our team is comfortable working together and has a strong engineering culture, which is hard and expensive to build on an internal team.

I know that engaging with an external company, even more if we reach you out on a cold approach, is risky, so I’ll leave some links with social proof of our knowledge and experience here.

Talks we gave in major Python/Django conferences https://lab.codes/talks

Client reviews https://lab.codes/clutch-reviews

React open-source libs we maintain https://github.com/labcodes/react-redux-api-tools https://github.com/labcodes/rel-events

Technologies: electronics, part sourcing, PCB layout, hardware prototyping

Email: kliment@0xfb.com

Project/contract work only.

I do electronics, end to end (design from idea, part selection, layout, prototyping, testing, enclosure design). Lately I've been working mainly on adapting existing designs to the new reality of part shortages. If you have a device that you can't produce at the moment due to part shortages I might be able to help you redesign it for the current availability situation. Of course I'm also more than happy to help with new devices. Contact at kliment@0xfb.com or Kliment on liberachat.

Recent-ish example of this kind of adaptation: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arthurwolf/smoothieboar...

I won't work on weapons, advertising, cryptocurrencies or automotive (for motivation on the latter, see my analysis on the reason for the component crisis here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26931498 ). This is non-negotiable, don't bother asking for exceptions.

  Maestro writeup: https://maestro-framework.github.io/

------------------

When I learned software engineering, I learned the fundamentals from the ground up. Because of my solid foundation, I can learn any skill very quickly and understand it wholly along the way.

I recently created Maestro, a framework for rapid iteration of serverless orchestration workflows using AWS Lambda and AWS step functions. It enables developers to easily create whole workflows and deploys and tears down the associated AWS resources ~60x faster than the closest competitor, AWS SAM. I highly recommend that you read the writeup at https://maestro-framework.github.io/.

------------------

Most recently, I've worked at a startup that then got acquired by a big tech company, working on critical tasks. Some of these include:

- Creating a new column in a database table with 118+ million rows with minimal downtime & full backward-compatibility.

    Read: experience working with large-scale systems.  

- Migrated a massive monolithic rails app from Rails 5 to Rails 6.

    Read: know Ruby & Rails inside and out, as well as the Rails philosiphies.  

- Seamlessly migrated 20 million file attachments w/o downtime or perf issues using a 3-step approach along w/ multithreading.

    Read: experience & competence w/ large infrastructure tasks.  

- Migrated our monolith to switch from one attachment backend to another (goes with point above).

    Read: experience & competence with ruby/rails internals.

Location: Hong Kong

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No (possibly yes, in the medium-to-long term)

Email: richard@vmlinuz.org

I am an experienced software engineer, and I have mostly been working on backend/server-side code recently. In the past, I have worked with many technologies, from C in the Unix kernel, to Java for Android apps, plus various PHP and Javascript bits. I have recently (yesterday!) finished a contract in an experimental devops team for a large European bank, and before that I was a senior engineer and 'code owner' (responsible for code/design reviews and deployments, as well as making my own contributions and mentoring junior devs) at an Asian unicorn.

I'm flexible w.r.t. working terms - would be interested in discussing local, remote, permanent, contract, etc. opportunities.
