SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote preferred (occasional travel OK)

Offering hands-on software development and technical leadership services, I specialise in:

• Mathematical, scientific and engineering applications

• Software for hardware (IoT, embedded, lab equipment)

• Challenging presentation (custom UIs, data viz, multimedia/video)

I have over 20 years’ experience developing software, mostly working with smaller organisations. If your situation looks anything like these, I could probably help you:

• A scale-up struggling to overcome early tech debt and transition to more sustainable development

• A hardware start-up looking to outsource software development to a multi-skilled freelancer

• A software start-up that can’t hire permanent senior+ level developers fast enough to hit targets

• A research group needing a professional to implement models and visualisations in good code

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UIs) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more mathematical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.

SEEKING WORK | USA | REMOTE

I am a 20+ year experienced developer.

Most of my work has involved embedded development (Linux, RTOS, baremetal, C/C++/uPython), including various forms of networking and distributed systems, audio/video, as well as backend services (usually using Python, Django, and Go), deployments (AWS, DO, Ansible, Docker, etc). I also do iOS and Android development. I do some frontend work, but that isn't my specialty.

I love helping people develop new products to meet their goals and needs, especially with a focus for getting it in use and making money as soon as possible to demonstrate utility and make money. I also have extensive experience taking over existing legacy code bases.

I am available for part-time or full-time contract work, long-term or short-term. I would love for every project to turn into a lasting business relationship.

SEEKING WORK | U.S.A. | Remote

When you read the other posts on this page, you find a long series of borderline-unintelligible buzzwords, one after another after another. That's something that we will never do to you. We strive to communicate in clear, normal English that you won't have to get a college degree in computer science to understand. Our basic philosophy is that asking a client to make technical decisions about programming languages or databases is like asking a racecar driver to weigh in on the significance of drill bits used in the machining of his car's engine, or asking a pilot to decide what kind of airfoil to use in his airplane's wings. The whole point is that they don't need to know or care, and neither do you! Email me when you have ecommerce-related technical problems that are costing you big money and need technical solutions as quickly and easily as possible: calm.water3626@fastmail.com. (It forwards right to my private inbox and cuts way down on spam, ensuring that I'm able to respond to you more quickly.)

SEEKING WORK - remote (updated!), email in profile.

Location: West coast Canada.

Remote: Yes.

Technologies: Machine learning, Python, Tensorflow/Keras/pytorch, A whole host of technologies over 25 year career.

I'm an experienced Data scientist, who's worked on a bunch of interesting projects. With Covid I've come to realize I need to work in public more often.

So an ideal fit would be a small/medium company with hair on fire problems that need solving that I can talk about publicly. What sort of problems do I like?

I worked with a Stuttgart based auto manufacturer to identify and predict when a part they had would fail. It turns out the answer will be familiar to west coast Canadians - The leaky condo crisis.

I worked with a well known cloud vendor to predict server failiures. Built a few test approaches (DL, anomoly detection, clustering, etc) and went with a simple efficient one that worked well. They got several minutes warning to load shift before a server failed.

A Taxi company in latam hired me to built a fleet maintenance system. It predicted and scheduled preventative maintenance to reduce wear and tear and avoid breakdowns. We also identified the leading cause of wear - leadfoot drivers. So we built a system that would identify aggressive driving.

Another example was a speculative sports highlights annotation system I built with a consultancy. It ingested sports video and identified predetermined highlights in baseball - diving catches in our case.

Who shouldn't contact me.

If your market is Ads or gambling I'm not interested. Sure there's lot of money, but I'd rather sleep at night. Thanks.

What I'm working on right now:

ML for metabolic flux anaylsis - Predicting how metabolic networks consume and produce metabolites. Particulalry useful for potentially starving cancers.

Low compute AI and connecting them to interpretable and defensible knowledge bases. I think these huge models that cost millions to train are the wrong path. I'll show things in public in time.
