#72Willing to relocate: no, but willing to travel/visit. I'm flexible with working hours, I usually work with clients from either Western Europe or the USA.
I do dev/devops/security, usually for startups or scale-ups or other small orgs with limited resources, and I've been doing that for 15+ years. So, if you:
* Have a slow web application that’s often down?
* Want to improve security and don’t know where to start?
* Have a legacy system that needs to be replaced?
* Are considering an acquisition but not sure about the technical side?
I can help with that. For example, in the past I have:
* Massively improved performance and reliability for a data visualization platform.
* Led a large effort to improve security for a cybersecurity SaaS.
* Built a micropayments system for a prominent media startup.
* Rebuilt an aging e-learning platform from scratch for a GDPR compliance SaaS.
* Conducted technical due diligence for acquisitions.

#74+15 years of production experience with Python, both web dev and data processing
+4 years of production experience with Elixir as a developer and team lead
+20 years with Linux
What I have been doing a lot over the last 10 years is helping data science teams with technical "chores" such as software architecture, database design, debugging, packaging and deployment. So if you have a team of domain experts processing data with Python but struggling to deliver reliable software, we should probably talk.
While I usually get hired for my technical expertise, I generally also end up improving the development process in areas like branching policy and issue management. I also have a lot of experience training people to use Python and Django.
I would be interested in working with Elixir again!
Please get in touch at contact@alexmarandon.com and I will send you my detailed CV.

I’m Tim, a developer and writer with a swath of experience across the full stack, from design to Python-based backend systems, including asynchronous operations, concurrency, and integrated LLM workflows. My recent work involves orchestrating and managing processes with libraries like Meilisearch, OpenAI/Anthropic endpoints, and advanced metaclass/typing/patterns in Python. I also have a strong front-end background, keen design sensibilities, and proven writing and technical documentation skills—my writing portfolio can be viewed on my LinkedIn profile. I’m currently looking for work that challenges me technically and allows me to communicate complex ideas through writing and design.Re: Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (January 2025)
