___

Software engineer for 20 years worked for very large and very small companies, willing to do 1-2 days a week in London, I have worked with pretty much every language at this point it seems, but always willing to learn more

I have various side projects

https://interviews.tools which is an interview planning tool to track what companies I have applied for, what stage they are at, have I heard back anything, working both offline (in browser localstorage) and signed in to allow multiple machines (open for anyone to use)

https://flags.gg which is a feature flag system that is multi-tenant, multi-project, multi-environment, multi-agent (e.g. development backend on a local machine)

and lots more

    Location: South Africa
    Remote: Yes
    Willing to relocate: No
    Technologies: Python, Kubernetes, general devops-y stuff. My strength isn't in the particular tech I know, but how quickly I can learn new tech.
    CV: https://drive.blazelight.dev/s/R5FifJNcS9cwM3x
    Email: In CV
Currently working as a Senior DevOps Engineer / somewhat of a generalist.

I've been very interested in the LLM space for a long time, and I'm looking to make a move to a position where I work more as a generalist, and work on some cool LLM / agentic projects.

In the LLM space I'm currently working on a general "What's the best chat app you can make if you don't care how much you spend on inference", and I'm hoping to find a company that's doing something vaguely along those lines.

My preference is for small companies (<10 people)
