Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (September 2020)

  Résumé/CV: https://c410-f3r.github.io/curriculum.pdf
  Technologies: AngularJS, Ansible, Apache HTTP, Apache Kafka, Assembly (x84_64), BIND, C, C#, C++, Docker, Docker Compose, Eclipe, Ember.js, F#, Golang, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, Lua, MongoDB, MySQL, NodeJS, PHP, PostgreSQL, Python, ReactJS, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Spring, SQL Server, Substrate, Swift, Symphony, TypeScript, Vue.js

On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where my latest public collaborations are more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.

Seven professional certifications were obtained from different organizations like the Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Training Alliance that covers a wide range of areas. My newest certification is the Google Certified Associate Cloud Engineer, more certifications will be earned over time and I can get any other desired certification if needed.

To finish, IT in general is like a living organism that is constantly changing, that is why I am always looking forward for a new challenge to increase knowledge. For example, my proudest project is a constrained NP-problem solver compiled to WASM (https://c410-f3r.github.io/mop-playground) where I spent years reading scientific articles to write efficient data-structures and algorithms.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Senior backend dev / tech lead

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on “weird” or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn’t be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* EDI message passing / reconciliation for US dental health insurance market, including X12 parser (Clojure)

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD
