Full-stack software engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems and building systems that are reliable, maintainable, and useful. My experience spans full-stack development, API integrations, workflow automation, and quality engineering, and I'm particularly drawn to understanding complex systems and improving how they work.

I am extremely analytical and logical, but also very creative, socially outgoing, and comfortable operating across a very wide range of disciplines. (For example, although I am a strong coder, I also have excellent oral and written communication.) Because I think in terms that are concrete but conceptual, I excel both in technical and non-technical environments, and beyond software development, I've also been involved in workflow automation, technical communication, and QA. I'm a very fast learner and I'm always willing to explore new technologies/better ways of doing things.

I’m a full-stack software engineer with hands-on experience building medium-to-large React and TypeScript applications, backend services, APIs, databases, deployment pipelines, and supporting infrastructure. My background has gradually expanded from the upper and middle layers of software into systems, networking, and performance-focused work, and I’m now exploring how LLMs can improve automation, internal tools, and data pipelines. I’m looking for a role where I can bring that broad technical range to challenging products while continuing to deepen my expertise!

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, CA Remote: Yes (US and international consulting); available for occasional onsite work and travel Willing to relocate: No Technologies: LLM agents; Claude Code; Codex; MCP; multi-agent orchestration; evals; workflow automation; legal-AI architecture; privilege and authority controls; system-prompt assurance Résumé/CV: https://www.dazzagreenwood.com/about LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dazzagreenwood Email: dazza@civics.com

SEEKING CONSULTING / CONTRACT WORK — also open to the right full-time role

Lawyer-technologist designing and building agentic AI systems for legal and other high-stakes work. I focus on the difficult distance between a promising demo and a deployment-ready workflow: selecting the right work, mapping privilege, data, and authority boundaries, designing evals and human-decision gates, and creating tool-agnostic operating architectures that can survive legal and security review. Current obsession: chaining authority- and scope-bounded agents into high-assurance workflows that can run autonomously for six-plus hours, show their receipts, and stop at explicit human (sometimes licensed professional) gates between stages—then produce genuinely valuable, substantial, compliant, and defensible deliverables.

A useful first engagement is a bounded two-week sprint: rank workflows by value, readiness, and fit; sketch an initial target operating architecture; and produce a prioritized 90-day pilot plan plus one implementation-ready pilot brief.

Recent work: AISPA system-prompt assurance paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.28617 Authority Boundaries for AI: https://www.dazzagreenwood.com/p/authority-boundaries-for-ai Interlateral Agents: https://github.com/dazzaji/interlateral_agents (I have a private repo version with professional authorization or approval/adoption gates and control kernel verifiable logging)

Earlier work includes founding law.MIT.edu, testifying before Congress on electronic-transactions law, and leading Consumer Reports’ Data Rights Protocol. I am currently a Stanford CodeX affiliate.

Available now for one bounded sprint and booking one or two larger engagements beginning in September. Best fit: in-house legal teams, legal-tech companies, and AI companies building high-stakes professional workflows. Contract through https://www.civics.com.

#497
Location: Vancouver, Canada Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, C#/.NET, SQL, FastAPI, PydanticAI, NestJS, React/Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS/Bedrock, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Stripe

Most recently, I have been the technical lead and one of the earliest engineers at Siift, where I built and now own much of the core platform behind a production AI product. I designed the persistent runtime coordinating 50+ specialized agents, typed tools, approval gates, scheduled actions, retries, recovery, and mutations against live product state. I also built the real-time SSE infrastructure and the multi-tenant data architecture behind conversations, research, sources, project state, generated assets, memory, and long-running workflows.

My ownership at Siift extends across the full product: backend services, agent architecture, frontend systems, authentication, teams and sharing, connectors, search, analytics, data modelling, caching, observability, deployment, AWS infrastructure, production debugging, and technical direction. I work directly with the founder on product and architecture decisions, then carry those decisions through implementation and production.

Before Siift, I worked directly with the CTO at GenRAIT to take a genomic data platform from requirements to production. I built resumable Go ingestion pipelines, integrity validation, retries, reconciliation, persisted job state, biological data models, metadata and expression-level search, and distributed-storage integrations.

At RentAHuman, I worked alongside the founder and Stripe’s integration team to build the initial payments infrastructure for a live marketplace with roughly 600,000 users. I owned authorization, manual capture, platform fees, payouts, refunds, disputes, warranty holds, webhook-driven state transitions, idempotency, reconciliation, messaging, and customer-support workflows.

I also lead the ongoing modernization of a live manufacturing ERP covering inventory, production, costing, quotations, logistics, invoicing, and exports. That work involves reverse-engineering legacy C#, VB.NET, MSSQL, and ASP.NET systems and replacing them incrementally with modular .NET and FastAPI services, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and React without disrupting active business operations.

Outside of work, I am building NullDown, a persistent document, application, and memory substrate where humans and AI agents can operate against the same structured state. It supports snapshot-based persistence, structured mutations, indexed retrieval, conflict-safe co-authoring, embedded data, and projection into interactive interfaces.

I am looking for founding engineer, technical lead, full-stack, backend, and platform engineering roles. I am equally open to a strong full-stack engineering role where I can take substantial ownership and grow into or directly carry technical leadership. Across my recent work, I have already owned architecture, implementation, infrastructure, deployment, production operations, and technical product decisions across AI systems, payments, data platforms, and enterprise software.

Location: Gurugram, India

Remote: Yes - remote only

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Fastify, Python, Rust, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker. Agent work: Claude Code, Cursor, MCP, Anthropic + OpenAI APIs, agent orchestration, evaluation harnesses. Also Shopify (Python connectors, inventory and placement CRUD), Solidity/Solana.

Resume: https://www.ayushbaluni.in GitHub: https://github.com/aayushbaluni LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ayush-baluni Email: abaluni6@gmail.com

I build AI agents that ship real code, and I own the review of everything they produce.

The evidence: I wrote an agent that finds actionable issues in open-source repos, writes the patch, and opens the PR. 17 of those are merged into third-party projects - langflow, dify, Grafana, Flowise, twenty, agno, Directus, pnpm, Medusa, Haystack, windmill, Effect, logto, reth, supabase-js, graph-node and Temporal's TypeScript SDK. Around 726,000 stars combined, all merged between March and July 2026.

Getting a patch past a maintainer who has no reason to be generous to you is the hard part, and it is the part I would point at. The agent does not fail at writing code - it fails at judgment: which issue is actually fixable, when a green test suite is lying, when a one-line fix is really an API change.

Also built Agent Vault, a runtime safety layer for AI agents (Rust, gRPC, NATS) with SHA-256 state verification and a four-tier escalation policy. Day job is product engineering; 15+ freelance projects delivered end to end; CodeChef global rank #22.

Looking for part-time contract work - roughly 15-20 hrs/week, IST with several hours of European or US-East overlap. Most interested in agent infrastructure, evals and developer tooling, but good full-stack product work is welcome too.

Remote: Yes | Willing to relocate: Yes, for the right opportunity

I'm a full-stack engineer with 3+ years shipping production systems, currently leading engineering for a dealership SaaS platform, and previously CTO (contract) at a healthcare startup where I owned architecture end-to-end.

Some things I've built and shipped:

Led a 6-engineer team delivering 20+ production modules (CRM, inventory, billing, search) for a dealership platform , cut API latency 40%, shipped 50+ releases As CTO, architected an NLP-based resume parsing system that cut manual data entry by 70%, plus real-time infra (Node.js/Socket.io) for a healthcare platform Trained and deployed a computer vision model to production processing 40,000+ images/day at 99%+ accuracy, fully replacing manual review Built billing infra (Stripe), OpenSearch-based indexing, and third-party data enrichment pipelines (KBB, Black Book) from scratch

Tech stack: Node.js, Express, TypeScript, Golang, React, Next.js, MongoDB, SQL, Python, PyTorch, Docker

I like moving fast, owning things end-to-end, and working with small teams where I can have real product impact, which is why I'm especially interested in Founding Engineer roles, but also open to strong Backend/Full Stack positions.
