13 years of experience in startup software development and DevOps across web apps, cloud, and Linux networking. Six years of leadership in teams of up to 7 people.

Looking for an engineering manager or senior IC position to mentor your team and make something people want.

Here are a sample of things I've accomplished:

* I built a platform for hosting web applications using Kubernetes at a major cloud provider and taught engineers to operate and improve it. It uses Helm to manage the instances of the single-tenant app and includes a Python application to manage the customer instances based on configuration from the subscription management vendor.

* I trained and mentored a team of developers in software patterns, communication, and prioritizing work, and I reduced context switching in the team’s workflows, leading to a 72% increase in velocity in two months.

* I maintain for the community Apt package for Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, which is downloaded more than 200,000 times per month.

* I developed a CI/CD pipeline to build Docker images for a web app, run automated tests, and update the customer applications after every merge.

* I improved performance of a proprietary VPN by adopting Cython, permitting use of C functions in Python, resulting in a 2.5x increase in network throughput when limited by CPU

Remote: Yes, or locally hybrid/in office - I'm flexible

Willing to Relocate: No

Technologies: Go, C/C++, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL/MySQL, ML/LLM, and many others

I'm an engineer with many years of experience in Silicon Valley, working in management roles, engineering, and consulting. My expertise is mostly in back end systems, working in the modern Go/Docker/Kubernetes ecosystem. In addition to working directly on large and complex code projects I also managed and grew engineering teams at various companies.

If you need help with specific technical projects, or are looking for management roles please feel free to reach out. I'm very familiar with both the unique challenges of scaling up startups as well as working to innovate in large enterprise companies.

Specifically if you need help productizing and scaling out various AI/Machine Learning/LLM systems this would be a good fit. I know there is quite a bit of demand in this area and a limited supply of qualified candidates.

Remote: Open to remote or in person

Willing to relocate: Yes (domestic and international)

Technologies: Javascript/Typescript, Python, SQL, React, NextJs, Node, React Native, Postgres
