Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.). Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is creating a software application to drive the receive/transmit of a novel ultrasound transducer and then scan-convert the signal into an image in real-time. Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and various sports analytics software solutions.

Technical keywords: C++, C#, Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, GPGPU, Rails, R, Python, and more.

SEEKING WORK – Remote, limited on-site (US, Seattle)

Backend/systems engineer

Experience with large distributed systems (dev on EMR/Data Pipeline/Kinesis teams at AWS)

Experience with production search systems (dev on Windows Search Engine team at Microsoft)

Good knowledge of space-efficient data structures (compact hash tables, Bloom filter variants, sketches, etc.)

Good knowledge of distributed algorithms (Paxos, ABD, etc.)

I think I can be especially helpful designing/implementing data architectures on top of AWS, since I am familiar with their systems both as a customer and as an internal developer.

If you operate Web services at high scale, I would like to discuss funding for my current project to add self-tuning overload protection and latency/throughput/fairness optimization to Web servers (using techniques from network congestion control, adaptive control theory, and queuing theory).

I WILL BUILD YOUR MVP FOR YOU.

I have 3.5 years of Ruby on Rails experience and 2.5 years of Clojure. I like working with SaaS and building MVP's, especially SaaS MVP's. I've built a ton of MVP's for my own startup ideas and can build yours.

Don't need an MVP built? I can still do the general Rails work, help you migrate off of Heroku, etc. What you get working with me:

I will help you get your site ready for an awesome launch so you can beat your competitors and start making money. Hassle-free hosting so you will save time. You don't have to worry about backups, etc.

Reliability. If I decide to take on a project with you, you’ll have my number and can reach me. I can start right away and will give you updates as often as you'd like.

Save tons of time. I don't really like being micromanaged. If you're the type of person to micro manage then it’s not going to be a good fit. I like being free to work on the project and complete the tasks as I see fit and you can just not worry about me getting it done.

Transparency: My rate is 3000 a week. I won't bullshit your time away and we'll get things done quickly. My rate also increases quickly.
