On-site or remote for shorter gigs, remote-first for longer.
I’m open to most things that would fall under “creative problem solving with technology” — especially if it involves AI integration.
But lately I’m writing a lot of Go, and I like it. If you need help with Go dev, fixing an existing Go codebase, or improving your testing and security story, drop me a line. Rates depend on length and flexibility of engagement.
I have 10+ years of professional full-stack software engineer, mostly as an individual contributor. I am highly proficient with JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js, React), Rust and Go. I have experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Linux and more.
If you are in need of a generalist who can solve complex problems and/or build a variety of applications, I can help you with that.
I am a staff level engineer focusing on machine learning applications and machine learning operations (MLOps), in support of business systems like search and security. I have a proven track record of architecting, developing and deploying production machine learning systems over a period of ten years in the domains of classification/categorization of text based documents, behavioral data, and images. I am particularly focused on the iterative ML lifecycle: modelling, automation, evaluation/illumination, and experimentation/iteration.
I have deep background in Python, C/C++, and Java, with experience is various ML frameworks (numpy, scipy, pytorch, opencv) and cloud hosted solutions (OpenAI, SageMaker, Google Vision).
8 years of professional experience, working primarially in full-stack web development. I work daily in Python, FastAPI, Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Linux, MacOS, Docker, AWS (EC2, RDS, Elastic Beanstalk, IAM), Git. I'm familiar (Use most months) with ElasticSearch, CloudSearch, Tailwind, Vue. As Hobbies, or smaller projects (used on at least one completed project over the past five years): Go, Zig, C, C++, Rust, Phoenix, NoSQL, MongoDB, (probably more, but these were the ones that came to mind.)
I work well with teams but thrive on independent work, and delivering consistent results. As a bit of a heads up, I'm fairly selective about freelance work at the moment.
My day job has me performing two main functions:
- Building full stack web development systems. I generally lean more towards writing backend code, and documenting our infrastructure. UI is my weakest area. This role has me working in datasets with ~1 billion row tables, and search indexes with ~100 million documents. Since we're a small company (~8 developers), I have been a major part of the architecture of our systems over the past 8 years. We've got five separate core businesses that our dev team supports, and I've been a part of architecting and implementing all of them. I would prefer to focus more on backend development in a future role.
- Creating one-off scripts or processes to assist in business functions. These tend to involve quickly reverse engineering undocumented web APIs we have permission to use, and querying them for our customers. At their simplest, these are a mix of writing some SQL and a few HTTP requests. At their most complicated, they have involved designing and implementing a tree structure to accurately model the business domain, and then pulling data about these structures from relevant public APIs.
- This month, I reduced the cost of a company's AWS CloudSearch spend by 80% (over 10k/month) by reviewing their codebase, doing some reasearch, and improving what they were storing and how they were doing so. This required a one-line code change on the existing codebase, and writing a new, short (~500 line) indexer. Doing a deep dive into the single highest AWS line item was the impetus for the project, and frankly, it turned out far better than expected.
Outside of work, I run https://www.thiswebsitewillselfdestruct.com, a website I built and maintain. It really will self-destruct, and it reaches ~100k users and handles ~13M requests each month. Building tools and infrastructure to manage its moderation and keep it a positive community has been a huge learning experience.

Good luck with whatever you're working on!
I'm an experienced front-end and full-stack developer, with AI (e.g. LLM) / ML experience. I have a keen eye for design and use tools such as Figma, and more recently Spline.
Technologies: Typescript, Javascript, Node.JS, ReactJS, NextJS 13, Vercel, AWS, PlanetScale, FaunaDB. Python as well.
Voice interfaces and GPT-4 interfaces are some of my more recent commercial areas of focus. I seek to develop performant interfaces for users and stakeholders alike, which offer state-of-the-art functionality (as an example, features powered by GPTs) with 'off-the-shelf' reliability.
I'm happy to chat - either a greenfield (from scratch) project or something more established would be of major interest to me.
My contact info is in my HN profile.
I'm open to writing gigs, either technical writing or business/finance-related stuff. I have 5+ years of experience in professional writing. I run a fairly popular tech/finance blog -- https://thetechee.com/ -- but enjoy writing for others too.
I also have an extensive freelance writing portfolio; https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1khx1atr-sX1cHrhAj0lw....
Rates start at $0.10 per word. If interested, reach me at chisom4best@gmail.com.
Technologies: Wordpress/PHP/React
I work for an e-Commerce company that powers a significant percentage of the online cannabis shopping in the US.
We have a Wordpress plugin that makes it easy for retailers to integrate our menu product into their websites. We had a great Wordpress core contributor who built most of it, but he has gotten too busy with other projects. We know something about Wordpress and have made a few enhancements internally, but are looking for someone with more expertise than us since there is a fair amount of technical complexity to our use case (and a million different Wordpress setups that interact with our plugin).
We are looking for an experienced PHP/Wordpress developer who can act as an advisor (including reviewing some of our code), and who is potentially willing to add some more features and do ongoing maintenance/fixes. This would be part-time project-based work.
