Location: Canada

Remote: Only

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Various solvers (CPLEX, Gurobi, Or-Tools, etc.), Python, C++, Bash, Linux, and others

Résumé/CV: https://github.com/PhilippeOlivier/curriculum-vitae/blob/mas...

Email: See CV

I have a PhD in optimization / operations research. I'm the father of four young children, so I'm looking for flexible/remote part-time work, and/or contract work. I can work up to around 30 hours per week (this varies depending on whether kids get sick, if I have other contracts, etc).

My specializations revolve around optimization and operations research. You can give me a real-world problem and I can translate it into a mathematical model that can be solved (often optimally) via integer programming, constraint programming, or various forms of metaheuristics. I could manage my way around new solvers and programming languages if the project required it.

I'm currently working on a column generation-based daily fantasy sports (DFS) solver as a personal project. Taking as input the predictions/requirements of a user, this solver can generate optimal lineups for multi-entry tourneys. It is, as far as I am aware, the only DFS solver that can generate provably optimal sets of lineups for multi-entry DFS tourneys.

Hi Hacker News Community!

I'm Alice, a 4th year computer science student at UBC looking for an intern or new grad opportunity for next May 2023. Being a transformation driver fuels me as I create lasting, measurable impact with code. I've had a year of internship experience at Meta and Rivian. I'm also a core contributor at RedwoodJS, an open source full stack framework. Previously, I was a business development manager for 5 years. Looking for a challenging role to kick off my career as a software dev!

Feel free to reach out if you have any opportunities or just want to chat!

Location: Poland

Remote: Ok

Willing to relocate: Maybe

Technologies: willing to learn; recent experience in TypeScript, JavaScript (React + Redux) on the frontend, Scala (Spring, Akka, Play), Java on the backend

Email: darius.j.chuck (gmail)

Software engineer with full-stack experience.

Recently working on original projects (https://xtao.org, https://jevko.org) on my own, before that explored my entrepreneurial impulse, before that tried my luck at a startup working remotely on a productivity app, experiencing turbulence, before that worked part remote part onsite for a nice location technology corporation, and some more corporations onsite before that, one doing outsourcing for the automotive industry, one R&D for healthcare. Haven't really found my place out there yet -- but would love something stable, interesting, that pays the bills, and allows me to freely work on my projects.

My interests include syntax, data formats, structured communication, functional programming languages, web applications and frameworks, and interactive applications, such as simulations or computer games. I am open to exploring new areas, especially at the intersection of art, science, and spirit, such as the AI/machine learning space.

I believe that a distributed smart grid that uses green/renewable energy is necessary for reliability in the face of extreme weather conditions, infrastructure cost reductions via reduction in size/use of unsafe HV transmission lines (see: CA fires), and most importantly to head-off the climate disaster that we're already seeing manifest today, so I want to keep working in those areas.

Location: USA

Remote: Yes, preferred.

Willing to relocate: Will discuss for extraordinary opportunities.

Technologies: [I'm comfortable learning new technologies and learn quickly, so if you work with a technology I didn't write down here, email me anyways!] I currently work with modern Python (with types, async libraries, newer runtimes, etc.) and SQL as far as languages go, but I also do personal stuff in Go, Lua, and others. I have recently worked with several differnent databases, such as Postgres, AWS Athena, Redis, FoundationDB, Elasticsearch, and SQLite. I don't do much devops, but I have experience with containers and other modern methods, and some of my own simpler methods that can work at massive scale (local data + compiled binary distribution + many many servers = massive scale, for the right applications).

Résumé/CV: [Here's a short description of what I currently work on and wish to continue doing; I can send a full resume upon request.] I work on computationally efficient energy efficiency software that optimizes the energy use of and then commands devices at a site. For example, I wrote a software algorithm which reduces HVAC peaks when a bunch of HVACs turn on at once by preventing that through an energy budget and some other magic. I also wrote algorithms to manage peaks using a battery by setting a goal for the energy use for a particular billing interval and then discharging the battery based on that goal and then constantly re-evaluating that goal based on new information. I also built a system which queried telemetry from a fleet of thousands of distributed energy resources every minute, determined if there were any deviations from normal/acceptable conditions, then alert the operations team (my alerting software ran in ~15 seconds in a "0.25 CPU / 1024MB RAM" kubernetes pod and replaced other software which did less alerts, took ~1 hour to do it, and took literally 10x the resources).

Email: Please initially contact me with my HN masked email, for my own spam protection, and I will reply from my normal account: [soft.oil7342 (a) fastmail (d) com]

I've been doing full-stack work for the past 11 years, with Python and Django on the back-end and HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery on the front-end. I've also worked with the Django REST Framework and React.js. I'm intimately familiar with schema and data migrations, including migrations between Django projects. I've worked extensively with startups and I've worked with Twitter. I have a lot of experience working with distributed teams and am open to occasional travel. Available full (~32hrs) or part time. Interested in Python work or full-stack with Python.
