SEEKING WORK - Based in London, UK. Happy to work either on-site or remotely. I'm a full-stack developer with a sweet spot for back-end work and distributed systems. Available for contract work from the 8 Jan. Happy to meet for a face-to-face chat if you're in London. Email in profile. My strongest technical expertise currently lies with the .NET / Windows stack (C# 5, .NET 4.5, ASP.NET MVC 4, Razor, TPL, async / awa…

About Me:

I have been building websites since 1996. I love the way a strong, lightweight CMS turns a website into a platform for integrating all sorts of fun ideas and technologies. I estimate that I have helped create 25 new jobs in the past 5 years by building custom CMS workflows that help my clients move their marketing and business tasks online. Most of my clients like keeping me in a webmaster role, as I am a strong generalist and can suggest and manage third-party resources where needed. I am an award-winning "full-stack artist", draw and design like an animal, and get high marks for aesthetic design work from my clients. I'm also a former college-level instructor, and my clients like the way I give friendly, helpful support.

If you need strong visual design with strong thinking behind it, from someone who is technically-minded and can contribute with code as needed, that's my sweet spot.

Just wanted to give Joe a recommendation. Not only did I have the pleasure of talking with him, but of viewing his code as well (disclaimer: I work at BuySellAds, one of the companies he did work for).

Joe developed an iOS SDK for one of our products and did a fantastic job.

SEEKING WORK

For various reasons, I'm taking some time off from school. I'm looking for some interesting work for anywhere from 3 to 6 months--maybe more.

I specialize in programming languages: DSLs, static analysis, verification, program synthesis[1] and so on.

Admittedly, this is a narrow field, but it's also surprisingly broadly applicable: there are many domains where a small domain-specific language can be much more expressive than a standard library; I then know how to build some powerful tools on top of the language including things like bounded verification and all sorts of static checking. DSLs can be used both to help expert programmers or to make a system more accessible to non-programmers. Especially for the latter, we can also design interesting interactive tools that help non-experts express themselves as they go along.

I also do a lot of functional programming: primarily Haskell along with OCaml and Racket. If you're interested in experimenting with functional programming at your startup, I'd really love to help. Apart from actually using functional programming, I really enjoy teaching people about it: for example, I'm in the top 10 for [haskell] on StackOverflow[2] and I've recently been teaching people about type theory at a meetup in SF[3]. I also have a particular interest in functional reactive programming (FRP); over the summer, I even designed an FRP library for OCaml (in the browser--with js_of_ocaml).

If any of this sounds interesting, I'd love to talk to you! My email is tikhon@jelv.is; you can see a recent resume at http://jelv.is/resume.pdf or on http://careers.stackoverflow.com/tikhonjelvis. My site, naturally, is http://jelv.is; I have to admit I'm unreasonably happy with the little domain hack :). Also check out my LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tikhon-jelvis/24/237/750

I'd prefer to find something in the Bay Area, but I'm flexible along both remote work or living somewhere else.

[1]: Program synthesis is a type of automatic programming--generating programs programmatically, by searching through the space of all possible programs. It's an exciting field that has really heated up in the last few years thanks to advances in computational power and SMT solvers. I think it's about ripe for some practical applications. I've done some research on the subject and implemented a few different synthesizers, so I have a reasonably rare amount of experience with it.

Program synthesis also involves verifying the programs we generate. Our approach to "bounded verification" is actually interesting on its own: we can reasonably quickly check conditions against code exhaustively, using an SMT solver. This could be very useful if you need high levels of assurance about your code.

[3]: You can see past slides at http://jelv.is/talks. Feel free to pop by our next meeting about two weeks from now; we're going to have an introduction to basic category theory, with very little mathematical background needed.

SEEKING WORK - Remote only, or occasional onsite visits in Seattle area.

Enterprise java developer and SOA architect. Recent experience with Angular/REST.

Java, Emphasis in Spring: - Spring Data (JPA/Hibernate) - Spring Integration - Spring Batch - Spring MVC - I've already started some projects with Spring 4/Boot

I've been self-employed for over ten years a reliable track record. While I can deliver projects as a sole developer, I am particularly well-suited for team enhancement with a collaborative, remote-friendly team. Long, stable relationships preferred. I'm also very Agile-friendly, having been through onsite Agile/Sprint/Scrum training with a couple of different teams, which can work very well with remote teams.

Agile: Sprints, Jira, Stories, Epics, Task breakdown, planning, grooming, retros, stand-ups.

Full-stack: Twitter bootstrap, some Angular and jQuery, including using Angular to communicate with REST resources.

Testing: Pairing, TDD, JUnit, Mocking for unit tests, as well as for mocking remote services. Unit (surefire), Integration (failsafe), Functional (selenium/geb/spock).

Tooling: IntelliJ, git (preferred), gitflow, subversion. Bamboo, test automation. Some experience with Chef, Vagrant (virtualbox), and Docker. Hipchat, Skype, Gotomeeting.

Familiarity (1-2 smaller projects) with Grails, Dropwizard, Struts2.

Languages: Java, PHP (CodeIgniter, Symfony, Zend), Perl (extensive since Perl4). Some Groovy, and I've successfully completed the Coursera Scala course and spending time learning more functional programming. Interested in scaling up and learning Akka, Actors, Futures.

SOA: Various buzzwords. :) Decoupling, Separating of concerns, Law of Demeter. Apache CXF (or Axis at other times) to generate APIs to SOAP wsdls. Fowler's refactoring and patterns books tend to be nearby.

Side interests in graph theory and knowledge engines.

Strong communicator that can serve as a consultant with business analysts or product owners to translate between product needs and technical constraints. Especially strong at constraint analysis and process improvements in teams. Positive and easy to work with. I have a long-term contract wrapping up in the next three months (I can adjust that timeframe myself) and am looking for the next long-term solid arrangement.
