Location: USA

Remote: exclusively

Willing to relocate: N/A

Expert backend developer primarily focused on data engineering, mission critical/low latency/highly available systems, and AWS (certs: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8). Happy to deal with greenfield or legacy or any mix of the two.

I prefer long term contract work, though I’ll help you with smaller things as well. Available for W2 employment only in exceptional cases – if you need a CTO, VP of Eng, or head of infrastructure to help you scale, let’s talk.

Technologies: Python, C++, SQL, NoSQL, Go, Golang, Docker, Git, Linux, Bash, Windows, Kafka, Redpanda, PySpark, Spark, AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, SAP HANA, LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2

I'm Phil and I have a PhD in computer engineering, specializing in operations research: mathematical optimization (MILP, etc), constraint programming, etc. For the past several years I've implemented custom, production-ready solutions for a variety of problems (scheduling, routing, etc). Recent work includes a constraint programming solution for goal-based selection of indexes in Postgres, a heuristics-based scheduling tool used in hundreds of vehicle workshops around the world, and an optimization model used for scheduling autoclave cycles in a drug manufacturing facility. I'm also open to freelancing.
