Data/Backend/Agentic AI engineer for the past ten years (Java, Python, SQL). Experience building data platforms (from scratch!) and ELT pipelines for financial data. Currently working on agentic AI projects, but happy to work at any level for any problem that needs solving. Happy to work on product management, solutions architecture, agentic AI or customer engineering. Remote is preferred for time zones spanning Europe to India, or early hours of EST/PST; onsite/hybrid in Mumbai is also great. Unfortunately cannot relocate. Open primarily to freelance/consulting roles, but full-time roles will also be considered if we're a good fit.

AI full-stack engineer with 6+ years building production web, mobile, and LLM-powered products. Currently Lead Engineer for Proma.ai at Growthzilla, where I own full-stack architecture across TypeScript, PostgreSQL, LLM integration layers, and Cloudflare deployment. Before that, as co-founder and CTO of Khellabs, I built a real-time multiplayer game that grew to 1M+ downloads, so I've seen products through from early build to scale. I've worked with US-based remote teams for the past 6+ years, so I'm comfortable with US timezone overlap. Looking for hands-on senior/lead roles in applied AI, developer tooling, or full-stack product engineering.

Hi, I'm Harry Altman! I was the maintainer of Truffle Debugger (https://github.com/ConsenSys-archive/truffle/tree/develop/pa...), a Solidity smart contract debugger, for 5 years. I eventually ended up writing my own decoding and encoding libraries to support it, as well as a bunch of other things.

I'm good at this sort of nitpicky work, spotting and thinking about edge cases. I like getting things exactly right, even though that obviously isn't always possible due to various constraints. I've been kind of wondering if I should get into embedded development; I find it appealing when things are low-level or similarly constrained. I've beaten Microcorruption. :) (The original levels, I haven't played the new ones.)

I'm also quite interested in unusual or obscure data formats, and working on Truffle Debugger and its associated libraries certainly involved a bunch of having to figure undocumented formats and interfaces. :) I put down above what languages I've worked substantially in but I'd say I'm a generalist and will figure out whatever you give me (I knew approximately no Javascript, Typescript, or Solidity when I started working at Consensys).

I'm a mathematician by background and in my spare time, so after the Truffle Debugger project was shut down I took some time off to focus on my mathematical projects, including old ones I've been shepherding through publication. But now I'm looking for work again! If you need someone like me, I'm available for hire!
