SEEKING WORK | Boulder, Colorado | Remote only

Principal engineer at a billion-dollar e-commerce company. Now a stay-at-home dad. I'm available to take on part-time contract and consulting work while my kids are at school.

I've done full-stack web development, but I'm most comfortable on the backend, building APIs, services, message buses, database systems and the like. My use of PostgreSQL, for example, goes beyond using B-tree indexes for everything. I'm well-suited for data-intensive projects.

I've picked up a ton of technologies in the past 20 years. Most relevant today are Ruby (Rails), Elixir (Phoenix), PostgreSQL, Kafka, C, Rust, Python, ZFS, FreeBSD, and Linux.

I can't do full-time right now, but I could be a good resource for a company looking for some help from a principal level engineer without filling a full-time position. Please email me (in profile) if you're interested. Thank you.
