I am a software developer with 4+ years in backend and payment systems. I lead a Ruby-to-Rust migration for a core payment engine.

Past work:

- Built a job scheduler. It handles 100,000+ jobs a day with zero message loss.

- Raised webhook throughput from 240 to 550 requests per second.

- Built a storage layer for S3, GCS, and SFTP behind one interface.

- Built a double-entry ledger system for a card issuance platform, based on the JPOS design.

- Built microservices and a DSL in Haskell, deployed on Kubernetes.

- Cut CI/CD deploy time from 45 minutes to 8 minutes.

I look for full-time, remote-only roles. I want to work on systems engineering, distributed systems, and backend engineering.

Remote: Yes (remote only, US; async-friendly)

Willing to relocate: Yes, but high bar

Senior generalist, 18 years. Been doing a lot of FOSS work lately; 62 PRs merged upstream this year, into ScummVM, 86Box, chocolate-doom, dsda-doom, woof, DOSBox-X, dosbox-staging, DOSBox Pure, SillyTavern, CHIRP, cross-rs, DefinitelyTyped, and nodejs/node. Literally none of my PRs have been rejected by maintainer in the past year.

Recent public work:

- klattsch (github.com/tgies/klattsch): singing parallel-formant speech synthesizer I wrote from scratch based on papers from 1980. Went viral in May (8M+ impressions, X trending, etc). Now a paid desktop/Android app on itch.io and Google Play, a built-in chip in the Furnace tracker, and in Mikoto Studio, a commercial Vocaloid-like vocal synth studio. Ported the core speech synth engine to TS, C++, Rust, and C#.

- Nuked-OPL3-fast: Optimization fork of the industry-standard OPL3 emulator, adopted upstream by ScummVM, dosbox-staging, DOSBox-X, DOSBox Pure, chocolate-doom, Even runs realtime at full fidelity on one RP2350 core.

- copy-fail-c: Cross-platform PoC for CVE-2026-31431, the #2 most-starred PoC for the CVE on GitHub (444 stars).

- client-certificate-auth: Node mTLS middleware, maintained 13 years, recommended in AWS's API Gateway docs, used in BAE Systems products.

- GPG Guide 2026: 376-page guide to modern GnuPG, YubiKey, and OpenPGP v6, self-published solo, with a bespoke typesetting and publishing toolchain and a harness that verifies every command in the book.

Previously: 11 years at a .NET CRM vendor (C#, MSSQL, sole AWS keyholder, built and ran the serverless ETL platform), then a year rescuing an embedded livestock-sorting system (Python/ARM/Postgres/Laravel) into its first working field deployment.

Looking for: contract / fractional / fixed-scope work through my consultancy, Crash United LLC, or senior IC roles. Deep daily agentic-tooling practice incl. a bunch of custom MCP servers I wrote.

M.S. in Data Science from Rowan University with hands-on experience in machine learning, data analytics, MLOps, and data engineering. Looking for Data Scientist, ML Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Engineer, or related early-career opportunities.

I enjoy building end-to-end systems rather than stopping at notebooks. Recent projects include SentinelML, a production-style ML monitoring platform with FastAPI inference, drift detection, model monitoring and retraining; FinGuard, a fraud-detection and real-time risk-scoring platform; FactoryPulse, a real-time IoT predictive-maintenance system; and an Airbnb analytics platform processing 5M+ reviews and 270K+ listings.

Open to opportunities with startups as well as established companies.

Willing to relocate: Yes, for the right role and package.

Platform / DevOps / SRE engineer with 3+ years of experience owning production infrastructure in startup teams.

I am useful when a team needs someone to take messy infrastructure, deployment, cost, observability, or reliability problems and make them boring.

Recent proof: At RestoreAI, I own cloud infrastructure for an AI product across dev, staging, prod, and preview. Recently reduced dev/staging AWS spend from about $700/day to $200/day by rightsizing GPU workloads and removing stale Kubernetes/ECS resources.

At GlueX Protocol, I worked on production blockchain/RPC and data infrastructure across multiple EVM chains. Reduced AWS cost by 45%, improved API latency from around 2s to under 250ms, and built observability with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki.

Projects: ShipCheck: deployment readiness checker for live web apps. https://shipcheck.krissemmy.com/

KraiNode: RPC diagnostics and benchmarking tool used by 450+ engineers. https://krainode.krissemmy.com/

Best fit: platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, AI infrastructure, data infrastructure, production reliability, technical operations, or infrastructure-heavy support engineering.
