Would love to work on product management, solutions architecture, or customer engineering. Currently working on an agentic AI project.
Remote is preferred for time zones spanning Europe to India; onsite/hybrid in Mumbai is also great.Re: Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (June 2025)

#7Hi HN! I'm a full-stack developer with a strong frontend focus - 10+ years of experience building fast, clean, and scalable web apps.
On the frontend, I work with React, Vue, and Svelte. On the backend, I've shipped systems using Go, Python, and Node (Nest.js, Django, FastAPI, etc). I enjoy working on thoughtful product design and efficient APIs just as much as hacking on UI.
Lately I've been freelancing through ainurhq.cloud, doing both client projects and internal tools. Some recent work includes:
- jsDelivr: contributed engineering support and improvements
- Radiabase: contributed to a CRM-style lead and sales management platform
- UniDeck: a no-code, plug-and-play dashboard builder with built-in integrations. Built from the ground up with my team at AinurHQ
I'm currently looking for freelance/contract roles (or possibly full-time) - ideally on a modern product team where I can contribute across the stack.
Feel free to reach out if you're building something interesting:

#8I am a backend expert, having built and maintained mission critical, low latency and highly available systems for several companies over the last 10 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly. AWS preferred but not required.
You will like working with me because I:
* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done
Concrete examples:* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions!
* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.
* replatformed dozens of complex quant jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months, including refactoring for fit.
* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

I bring your solutions to life.
An Engineer of many hats, I solve your problems and bring them into the world. I’ve built entire systems from the ground up, delivered physical products in a matter of weeks, and kept Oil Rigs working offshore, built departments filled with the best people to produce top results and make the wonderful dreams reality.
With a background in Electro Mechanical Engineering, I’ve designed products for the consumer, offshore, military markets, so I know what good hardware looks like. I’ve built prototypes for many markets, and architected complex systems from concept to retirement, in a complete cradle to grave manner. I’ve worked closely with software teams to guide development of new features to protect marine vessels from GPS jamming, developed APIs for integration and dug through code by hand to reverse engineer old products that haven’t been touched in decades to determine their operation and how they will be supported and upgraded to turn them into the feature they should be.
As an Engineering Manager, I’ve been the driving force behind teams. I’ve worked with remotely distributed teams across many different disciplines, all working towards the end goal without ego getting in the way. My job has always been simple as the EM, give the team the tools and trust they need to do their absolute best.
Your idea is your baby, it’s precious to you. I’ve worked at startups, small companies and mega corporations and I’ve always maintained a very simple philosophy when it comes to work - “are we doing what the customer needs with the best people we can get?”
I’m your mechanical engineer, engineering manager, product manager, systems engineer, R&D specialist, market analyst and head of technology in one, and I’m ready to make your dream the product it needs to be, hardware or software.
