A few things I've worked on: priceonomics.com, remarkbox.com, trucentive.com

I'm looking for freelance projects from short-term to long-term. The technologies listed above represent recent experience that I'd be productive with immediately, but are in no way an exclusive list. If you're using something different, perhaps something hard to hire for, I'm always interested in learning something new.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 7 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

You will like working with me because I:

  * hold your goals as my priorities
  * communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
  * my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
  * I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

  * Built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player information and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization.

  * Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.

  * Replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.

  * Built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols.  Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety.  Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

  * Built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
