  Location: Seattle, WA
  Remote: Yes (Remote / Hybrid / In-Office)

Seattle-based full-stack engineer open to remote, hybrid, or in-office roles. Willing to relocate and actively interested in doing so.

My experience spans production full-stack web applications (Postgres, Express, React, Node), cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, browser automation using Selenium, and Windows desktop tooling with Tkinter and PyInstaller.

I’m currently operating as a consultant, working across technical implementation and customer-facing responsibilities, and I’m comfortable partnering closely with sales and non-technical stakeholders. Clients range from startups that nobody’s heard of to aerospace manufacturers that everybody’s heard of. I’m happy to sign NDA’s and bill against PO’s, but I would prefer a full-time W2 role.

Earlier in my career, I worked in electronics and hardware, including DO-160 compliant aircraft electronics testing, circuit design, and electrical bench tools. More recently it’s fullstack webapps and AI wrappers, including training and deploying own models, specifically supervised classification. My most recent W2 position was as a Patent Examiner in AI (Art Unit 2121) at the USPTO.

A defining part of my background is teaching computer science at Central Washington University. I taught nearly all core CS degree courses, authored four original courses that were added to the official catalog, and earned the highest student evaluation scores in the department across all quantitative metrics.

Location: Maryland, United States

Remote: Open to remote, hybrid, and in person

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia and research labs. I am open to many different roles, including being a software developer or data scientist. I have over a decade of experience in scientific research, especially on the numerical side. I have years of experience in writing software for and running large simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems. I have also developed software for non-scientific purposes, like creating user interfaces for desktop applications and writing command-line tools. I have years of experience working with large datasets, including the tasks of calculating statistics and developing hypotheses/models/theories from data. I've worn many hats over the years and love learning new and interesting topics.

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer with 5 years of experience in cloud infrastructure and automation. I spent 2 years at AWS Professional Services, where I led CloudFormation Resources Migration, built CDK constructs in Python and TypeScript, and helped enterprise customers design CI/CD pipelines.

I'm open to DevOps, platform engineering, SRE, or backend Python roles. Happy to chat about contract or full-time opportunities.
