Location: US, but flexible on TZ

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Infrastructure, Backend, AI-Applications, enough frontend for prototyping. ( Python, Elixir, Phoenix, Javascript, GNU/Linux, AWS, Postgres, DuckDB, etc )

Résumé/CV: https://resume.taf.codes/resume.pdf

Email: inquiries@taf.codes

Experienced Generalist Engineer, 12 years in startups and early-stage companies. Twice a founding-engineer. Current interests include GIS, Elixir, applied AI, and alternative data. Open to contracting and employment. If you have an idea, I can build it. If you have a prototype, I can scale it. If you have a vibe-coded or legacy nightmare, I can untangle it.

I write at https://taf.codes.

One thing I'm working on lately is semantic trend analysis across podcasts (using text embeddings). I just finished a custom NUMA-sharded vector scan kernel that can outperform DuckDB by 4x (on my specific queries). My audio transcription system is 10x cheaper than the most competitive provider, and I'm currently working to scale up my ingestion pipeline. If you're curious, my most recent post about this is here: https://taf.codes/2026/05/03/podcasts-2-trends.html

Happy to discuss work for hire, and to connect with anyone having complementary capabilities.

Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty. :v

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

I'm a quasi-mathematician who adapts and translates rigorous, nuanced mathematical concepts for more expressive mediums like natural language and code. This results in shared processes for synthesizing and analyzing technical assets that are actionable, pragmatic, and accessible to both deep technical experts and practical execution teams alike.

Think of me as an LLM wrangler who uses latent space acupuncture to pin down precise model behaviors, replacing haphazard reactions with a systematized, consistent iterative process.

Let's chat!

Résumé/CV: https://sanket-portfolio-gold.vercel.app/

I'm a full-stack developer with 2.5+ years of experience building production web and mobile applications for startups, agencies, and small businesses.

Following are the projects I've worked on:

https://www.valoravalet.com/ :- A valet parking app with admin dashboard, multiple locations, and payment integration of stripe, square etc.

And almost 11+ more. I enjoy shipping products quickly, working directly with founders, and owning features from idea to deployment. I'm comfortable working independently and across the full stack.

I'm looking for full-time, contract, or freelance opportunities with startups or product companies where I can build impactful products and continue growing as an engineer.

I'm trying to get back into a more typical Software Engineering role rather than my current position as a Cloud Support Engineer. I would describe myself as a mid-level engineer, but the goal is to reach a senior level title at a company with a high bar.

Do people actually find jobs this way? Just asking.

Very rarely they would, I believe. There are thousand of applicants for each job posted. Why would a hiring manager go through a hackernews post unless the skills required are very niche.

I imagine it's much easier to post on the sister thread, "Who's hiring" and let the interest roll in ..
