20+ years experience in biotech drug development from discovery research to analytical development for small molecule, biologics (esp. antibodies & related modalities) and cell & gene therapies. Excellent communication skills to translate technical topics to a diverse audience. Happiest being challenged to learn new things, solve hard problems and work across disciplines. For example the most fun I had at ShapeTx was developing a Python class to analyze and visualize raw charge determination mass spec data on intact AAV vectors because no such software was available at the time.

Prefer startups and will cheerfully do whatever needs to get done without drama. Seeking intellectual stimulation and the opportunity to work on projects with positive impact more than a fancy title or high salary. I would also be interested in entry level data scientist or analyst roles (or anything else that engages my strategic thinking / analytical brain.)

DevOps contractor specializing in small companies and start ups. Generally small companies don't hire DevOps until too late - I'm available on a part-time and project basis.

Get my expertise of over 15+ years of AWS and DevOps.

Current contract for a US YC-backed firm runs out soon so looking for new clients to pick up.

With AI I'm seeing customers wanting to invest a lot more into their test suites and optimizing them for build times, moving them to cloud runners, etc.

My value is freeing up your devs time to keep coding product.

Let me fix up your build pipelines, optimize your infra and get your pipelines oiled.

I'm Paul, and I've mostly done Support Engineering – from Tier 1 to managing a team. I specialize in resolving complex user issues, building plugins and integrations, developing internal tooling, coming up with creative solutions and mentoring technical teams. Currently I'm focused on Python development, unit testing, and CI/CD automation, while giving Crystal and Swift a while. I'm passionate about small-web principles and minimalist, human-oriented tools. I seek to learn while trying to make the world around me just a tiny bit better than I've found it.
