| SEEKING WORK | US | Remote | (Flexible availability) ============================================================ Ex-Google, Ex-Amazon software engineer with experience at various other enterprise-scale companies. Looking to help companies build and scale their products with robust operational resiliency, either as a core-contributor or part-time CTO. -- Python / NodeJS / Rust / Go -- Differentiators - I specialize in helping small to medium startups improve their development and release processes, and fortify their operational resiliency. This may take many forms, from straightforward improvements to CI/CD and testing, to more sweeping architectural changes aimed at pre-empting scale and cost complications. I have not seen every problem (nor do I believe I’ve seen most of them), but from a broad set of experiences and deep research in the field of software system design, my clients enjoy immediate and lasting impact towards their company’s goals. When I encounter something that is orthogonal to my experience, I draw from my diverse network of industry experts as an investment in MY business, at no cost to my clients. I bill for my time solving client problems, not learning new skills, and as a consequence only accept work when I believe there’s a good fit. I have a passion for - building data-intensive applications. I enjoy speccing out larger architectural migrations for existing software or designing backends to leverage workload-optimized datastores for the unique demands of different components of a distributed system. I also thrive at getting the most performance out of monolithic storage systems when optimizing more for developer ease. Though the bulk of my services are typically done entirely asynchronously, I enjoy being available for collaboration and mentorship when it can benefit my clients and their teams. For recent clients - I’ve been working on importing cloud resources into infrastructure as code, building custom development/testing frameworks, creating dynamic templates for code generation, building out initial CI/CD, enforcing coding standards, setting up change management processes, and migrating resources into a multi-account AWS Organization per the AWS SRA specification. All of my projects are left with exceptional amounts of FAANG-inspired documentation (both for continued development and maintenance). I treat each piece of work as I’d want it handed off to me.
