SEEKING WORK

Germany, remote only.

Software engineer and technical writer with over 10 years of experience.

Backend, frontend, mobile, cloud, crypto, AI, APIs.

My latest endeavours led me to Effect-TS while building a decentralised web crawler for a grant.

Before that I kept the docs of a cloud provider up-to-date.

I'm also volunteering as the editor in chief of a public goods foundation.

SEEKING FREELANCER | United States | Remote

I'm bootstrapping a project and looking for someone that can quickly build a CRUD iOS app using Swift, VisionKit and invoke REST APIs for backend integration. Its a basic app for a web application with the following features:

1. User Login + FaceID (no need for signup, password reset, etc)

2. CRUD operations on an item

3. Ability to take pictures and upload

4. Ability to run Vision operations like Text detection, OCR, etc on the image.

5. Upload data to backend via REST API including background upload.

6. Publish app to iOS app store

API will be provided for login and CRUD operations.

You'll be working with me (backend developer) to make it as close to production ready and publish to app store.

If you are interested please respond with rate and approximate start date and time required to build, my email in profile.

CV: Available Upon Request

Email: poetic.artifice@gmail.com

I am a seasoned (>13 years experience) full-stack staff-to-principal-level software engineer/consultant specializing in the backend, systems architecture, AI, platform engineering, internal tools, prototyping, and data engineering. In addition to strong programming and architectural skills, I'm a force multiplier for any team in either role through the three T's -- teaching, talking, and tooling. I also hold a US patent in the AI space.

In the past, I've taught a number of scientists and students to code in python; I've led and managed a number of high-impact engineering teams of up to 12; and pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech. >10% of all medicare applications and millions of individuals currently flow through pioneering no-code systems I conceived and built and have ran in production for over a decade.

More recently, I've built a no-code automated form-filler and a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for both minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are far too large for existing context window inputs or outputs using a novel, patented process that I invented; and applied these tools to various contracted projects requiring analysis and and cross-checking of information and other forms of integrity across textual and video/audio corpus data in a variety of domains (fiction and non-fiction).

I am also an improvisational pianist, published poet, and I've created novel algorithms and tools for studying and composing both music and poetry, which I have given a talk on at a recent functional programming conference.

I have extensive experience working for and running startups, software consulting shops, with some mid-sized company engineering experience as well; these give me a unique insight into speaking with customers and internal stake-holders, translating between engineering and other departments, gathering requirements, aligning stake-holders across departments on a vision and attainable timeline, and architecting/building/taking ownership over significant internal and customer-facing areas of responsibility.

If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out.

SEEKING WORK | Dublin, IE | Fully Remote

Hi, I'm a full-stack engineer who's touched everything from PCBs to React components. Most recently co-founded a pharma-tech startup where I visualized drug processes and built a playground for real-time data pipelines (yes, the paperwork to ship in pharma is real).

War stories:

- Autonomous drones delivering coffee (last-mile logistics, before it was cool)

- BMC firmware keeping hyperscale data centers from catching fire

- Logistics robots shuttling parts around automotive factories

- Kubernetes PaaS that actually worked (multi-tenant, auto-deploy, the whole nine yards)

- Made books talk on-demand (text-to-speech system for a major digital library)

Stack: TypeScript/React/Next.js, Python, C/C++ when the physics demand it, WebGPU for the fun stuff, AWS, PostgreSQL, k8s, Docker, PCB design when software isn't enough

Looking for: Deep industry problems where the tech is just the tool, not the product.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE / US

Full-stack JavaScript-focused engineer/entrepreneur with lots of experience in building scalable single page apps in various frameworks, web3, multiplayer web games, building transformers and other networks, all sorts of things. Product-oriented, executive and leadership experience, comfortable in both autonomous and collaborative settings, capable Linux sysadmin. I know how to ship.

I've focused for several years now on agentic and generative work such as simulating networked LLM-augmented embodied agents, interface research, too much to list here but always happy to talk more over email. While the rest of the industry is just starting to latch onto agentic systems, I can offer years of experience and product insight.

Available for consulting, projects, anything web or agentic.

I'd love to get back into Deep Lerning (torch, cuda, etc, etc), because it's been a lot of LLM API calling lately. But API calling is fine too.

SEEKING WORK | Remote | Onsite San Francisco Bay Area |

Versatile back end code and infrastructure development services. Typical deliverables are Dockerized microservices specified by OpenAPI, written in Go or Python, with a REST/JSON API and backed by PostgresDB or MySQL. CI/CD pipelines included and deplyment on any of the major cloud vendors. And of course your custom business logic.

If you have more complex needs, e.g. project or team management please reach out as I have extensive career experience in all aspects of of technology development and management in startups and large enterprises. Need a contract manager or CTO perhaps?

At minimum I can help you develop your back end infrastructure from the ground up. Basically I offer development of back-end componenets you can slot into your Kubernetes or Docker environment from day one.

On the business side, you get a fractional developer for a no-haggling fixed monthly rate, corp-to-corp billing, long term support for your code, careful vetting of dependencies for licensing and security, and a professional approach to your technical needs.

SEEKING WORK | Remote/Denver, CO [MT/UTC-6] | Technical Leadership for Scaling Teams | Process Transformation | AI Security

I help Series A-C startups navigate technical chaos and scaling challenges. After 7 years consulting both directly and through agencies (and decades of engineering work), I specialize in organizations experiencing transitions - post-funding growth, leadership changes, or strategic pivots.

I can sling code--and I can help your org by:

- Transforming chaotic delivery through listening-first process design (I discover what YOUR team needs, whether that's Shape Up, incentive realignment, or custom approaches)

- Identifying and fix incentive misalignments that sabotage delivery (saved one client $300k+ in unnecessary architecture changes)

- Guiding secure AI tool adoption without blowing up your business

- Bridging technical excellence with organizational transformation

My average engagement is ~6 months across 15+ clients.

Recent wins:

- Delivered project ahead of schedule during company layoffs using Shape Up

- Established cross-team coordination that unblocked a multiyear replatforming effort

- Prevented costly microservices migration by identifying vendor's misaligned incentives

Technical foundation: Ruby/Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, comprehensive DevOps (AWS/Terraform/Docker), AI security expertise. But I'm hired for my ability to see why your technical initiatives keep failing and fix the root causes.

I thrive in chaos. If your organization is at an inflection point and needs someone who can deliver immediate technical value while building lasting capabilities, let's talk.

Available for fractional CTO, technical advisory, or focused transformation projects. International relocation a possibility.
