I'm an exiting CEO, with a marketing/engineering background. Led marketing at an acquired $350M+ ice cream brand, as well as launched a $1B vertical farming startup. Looking to get back into tech which I just love, no earlier than Jan 2026. I specialize in go-to-market (working always with quantitative data to make decisions), breaking through barriers, and leading/hiring teams. Having worked in various industries, with programming and engineering chops, I speak multiple "languages" well; people have described me as the missing piece of the puzzle who can distill the needs of various stakeholders/customers and move projects forward.

Data/Backend engineer for the past ten years (Java, Python, SQL). Experience building data platforms (from scratch!) and ELT pipelines for financial data. Currently working on agentic AI projects, but happy to work at any level for any problem that needs solving. Open to work on product management, solutions architecture, agentic AI or customer engineering. Remote is preferred for time zones spanning Europe to India; onsite/hybrid in Mumbai is also great. Unfortunately cannot relocate.

Location: Germany

Remote: Preferred

Willing to relocate: Anywhere, as long as the salary matches the local living costs, I'm not bound by family or similar

Technologies: I have about 6 YOE in Rust, so that's my daily driver and it's what I'm best at. Other than that, Python, general frontend tech (JS / HTML / CSS, but I don't use frameworks), SEO and graphic design

I am mostly a self-taught Rust engineer who tried (unsuccessfully, so far) to build a cartography startup. But I still need a regular day job, even if everything goes well, but I have lots of experience in Rust by now. After school, I only had some training in government administration, but never wanted to work there. Learned C++ in my free type, then switched to Rust in 2017 to create my own GIS / graphics applications. That work resulted in the https://azul.rs GUI framework (still working on it).

I finished multiple smaller projects for the German government (had to get "some" job because I ran out of money building Azul), but sadly all my designs got rejected due to German bureaucracy. I am good at thinking through systems, ownership and understanding the entire product, as well as rendering, performance, Linux / open-source and software architecture.

Not interested in crypto or defense sector.

Location: Currently NC, but I'd like to move back to NYC. Open to in-person in either state.

Remote: Open to full remote or hybrid in NC/NYC

Willing to relocate: only on the East coast.

Technologies: Python, SQL, some Scala, some Typescript. DBT, Postgres, Spark, Flink. Various AWS like Kinesis, Firehose, Glue, Redshift. Various data pipelines

I'd be interested in working on any of: data platforms, data pipelines, data engineering, or data-intensive backend applications. I would enjoy either a greenfield/early-stage data team where I could create a lot of value quickly, or, a more mature team with some veterans I can learn from.
