With over 7 years of experience, I worked with startups, big companies, and even co-founded a few business. My main focus is on fullstack development with React & Django or Node.js but over the years I touched many different technologies and wore many different hats. Including product management, startup growth, and being a tech lead of a fast-moving team.
I consider myself a creative problem solver. At the end of the day what makes me tick is combining code, testing, architecture, product, and team spirit to solve actual problems.
I am available for short term contract (2-3 months). Let me know if you are interested.

I'm a senior software engineer with over 8 years of experience. I've worked with startups, big companies, and even co-founded a few business. My main focus is on backend development with Python Django but over the years I've touched many different technologies (React, Objective-C, C#, C++, Go, WebRTC, etc.).
I love to solve hard problems in simple ways and to get from zero to one as swiftly as possible while not sacrificing quality. To achieve this I always try to deeply understand the business perspective of the product and identify the most important areas to focus on. The combination of management and deep technical skills is what I feel is my biggest strength.
I am available for a fixed term contract (up to 3 months) which may be a perfect fit to build your MVP or help your startup right after seed round before you scale up the team. I also have my two friends and colleagues with pretty similar background (senior full stack engineer and product manager/designer) at disposal in case your project is more demanding. Let me know on LinkedIn if you are interested.
Guide Informatics is a small (two-person) software consulting company. We work with several biotech companies in the genome-editing (CRISPR/Cas9) space, building software that allows their scientists to organize, analyze, and visualize their data.

Our stack is Python/JavaScript, and experience with the following technologies would be ideal but not required:
* Django
* Vue.js
* Postgres/MySQL
* AWS
Any experience with the following would be a plus but not necessary:
* Data Visualization tools (D3, charts.js, etc)

* R
This is a remote gig but does require that you be legally allowed to work in the US, and we'd prefer if you were in a time zone close to pacific.
If interested, send a resume and a quick intro about yourself to jordan@guideinformatics.com.

I'm an expert engineer and data professional interested in consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.
These days, I consult for a "new media" company you probably heard of and, over the past year, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily. More recently, I helped migrate said stack to Google serverless cloud functions.
My area of expertise includes data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc. That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in getting new clients and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.
Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!
