Location: US, but flexible on TZ Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Infrastructure, Backend, AI-Applications, enough frontend for prototyping. Résumé/CV: https://resume.taf.codes/resume.pdf Email: inquiries@taf.codes Experienced Generalist Engineer, 12 years in startups and early-stage companies. Twice a founding-engineer. Current interests include Elixir, GIS, applied AI, and alternative data. Open to contracting and employment. If you have an idea, I can build it. If you have a prototype, I can scale it. If you have a vibe-coded or legacy nightmare, I can untangle it. I write at https://taf.codes. Most recently I've been working on a trends analysis system for podcasts. I've transcribed hundreds of millions of words of podcast audio, embedded it, and can make breakdowns of topic prevalence by-time and across podcast feeds. I'm currently working on speeding up transcription with spot-GPUs, and speeding up analytical queries using a columnar data store. Initially that might use DuckDB, but I think I can do it significantly faster with a custom NUMA-sharded vector-scan kernel. Some discussion and examples here: https://taf.codes/2026/05/03/podcasts-2-trends.html Happy to discuss work for hire, and to connect with anyone having complementary capabilities. |
