SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I'm a former technical founder who likes to jump into deep, ambiguous problems. As a solo person I can scope, design, and build end-to-end products.

In the last few months, I've helped:

1. An idea-stage startup build an prototype with OpenAI that went on to close a large seed round + build out their team

2. Build a reinforcement learning platform for a government contractor to help them backtest + measure ML model performance in production to improve overall accuracy

3. Prototyped a shift swapping tool for a healthcare facility

I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Next.js, Rails, Vue, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

SEEKING WORK | San Francisco, CA, USA | Remote OK

I can take on dev work using Python or Java with a focus on API and am capable of non-SPA frontends such as for internal tooling or proofs of concept. I can also fill in for some product management and tech lead duties, will explain a little of my experience below:

Python skills are modern with Flask, and Java skills are a bit outdated back to version 8 with Protocol Buffers and Kafka. I can also do Clojure on top of JVM and would be happy to get back into it, but the last time I used it was in about 2015 and it was for a work project. I'm deeply familiar with HTTP and have used HAproxy some and Nginx quite a bit, familiar with sticky routing and load balancing concerns. I've built a high volume, low latency data pipeline from the ground up, integrated with a production pipeline.

Frontend skills date back to pre-Bootstrap vanilla CSS, and I do refresh myself every couple years... presently refreshing Bootstrap 5 and Flex layouts; far from a pro, just saying where I'm at. Javascript and platform API knowledge is very strong, I just don't have working experience with modern frameworks and would need ramp up time.

DevOps skills are pretty good, with focus on 12 Factor App style. My history of running Linux goes back to the early 2000s with Apache/PHP/MySQL/Drupal stacks up to today with RasPi and Cloud instances. I can use raw operating systems with Ansible-like tools and also have experience with Docker and Kube including writing Helm charts.

I'm also familiar with some online marketplaces and e-commerce stacks like Shopify, Gumroad, Fiverr, and Rapid API so I can fill in gaps with those duties as well, and advise on monetization strategies for SaaS. I've done endless API integrations with many e-commerce and social media stacks, so that's a strong point that I can help with.

I could probably make my way into a first-time Dev Manager or Director role for the right team and have received such proposals in the past, but am presently focused on personal goals and happy to come in for assignments that I can knock out and automate or document and hand off.

Ideal first project length would be something like 2 weeks, and I prefer fixed pricing to hourly pay for dev work and day rates for consulting.
