SEEKING WORK | EU / UK-based | On-demand, targeted SRE expertise

I provide short-term (1-2 weeks), high-end SRE consulting services focused on solving specific operational problems in emergency or high-pressure situations. I deal with all aspects of systems engineering and SRE / DevOps processes, as well as with strategic and evaluation needs.

My expertise is based on 30 years of hands-on technical experience in all areas of IT, but especially in designing, building and operating complex, hybrid platforms for global clients.

I usually work with clients who:

  - have urgent operational issues that need immediate outside expertise
  - are launching a new service but are not sure if it is customer-ready
  - have unstable or non-scaling systems that are impacting end-users
  - are worried about process gaps that affect service delivery quality
Examples of work I've done for clients:

  - Implementing multi-level cloud redundancy
  - Tracking down performance bottlenecks
  - Stabilisation of complex applications
  - Validation of new projects before production
  - Intelligent logging & monitoring implementations
  - Effective dashboarding and alerting
  - Tool selection & best practices
I have extensive experience in a wide range of SRE / DevOps / SysAdmin tools, most AWS and Azure services (at a global level), and many data processing technologies like Kafka, Spark, Storm, Solr, Elasticsearch, Redis, Hadoop, etc.

REMOTE SR Software Architect / SR Full Stack Engineer with a DevOps fable

Hey I am Johannes and I talk to humans and machines!

I grew up with the internet, uploaded my first websites to geocities, was tech-admin of a lot of bulletin boards and have been doing professional code since 2003. After trying to build my first start-up in 2006 I realised that they just won’t come only because I built it. Therefore, I have a bachelor economical psychology, which helps me immensely with team leadership but also allows me to view the product from multiple perspectives.

I have 7 years of hands on (mid level) CTO experience but am also a senior software architect with a hard fable for DevOps and kubernetes at heart. I started working when Servers where still mostly dedicated, have lived the revolution of virtual servers, made a short stop at serverless tech and am now invested in the kubernetes ecosystem and its containers. My preferred cloud is AWS, but I also like to tame bare-metal and everything in-between.

Application wise I have deployed and built everything from frontends, backends, APIs, daemons and my preferred languages of choice are now golang, JavaScript and PHP. I can pick up a new stack easily and am usually the member of the team who can quickly jump between stacks as well as their languages and takes care of the serverside of things.

Technologies:

  Fullstack (Frontend, Backend, APIs, Daemons)
  Favorites: Golang, JavaScript, PHP
  Cloud / X-Cloud : AWS, Hetzner, OVH, Bare-Metal
  Databases: MySQL , MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
  DevOps: Ansible, Puppet, Bash
  Server: Kubernetes, Docker (Swarm), Bare-Metal, Fargate, Serverless
  Windows Server, Windows Network, Active Directory
  Location networking, VPN (Wireguard, Software, MS-VPN)
  Jira / Redmine / Trello

  Location: Cordoba, Argentina
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Yes
  Technologies: Typescript, React Native, React, Web development

Hi, my name is Sam and I’m a full stack web developer. I’ve worked with multiple backend frameworks and multiple front end frameworks. I’m happy to use the right tool for the job. My preference is python. I’m at a point in my development career where I’m comfortable creating CRUD apps and moving data around. Lately I’ve been fascinated with how I can use data to make informed decisions. Hence the dabbling in ai/ml over the paste couple of years. I find information retrieval, computer vision and NLP to be exciting.

Location: Pakistan at the moment but I am a Japanese National.

Remote: Yes

*****************

I just recently graduated(<1 month) with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning. I am looking for jobs that would allow me to work with people who are well versed in the field of Machine Learning Engineering or to an extent Data Engineering.

Although I am a recent graduate I consider myself a quick learner and my passion to get my hands dirty in data ensures that I would perform my jobs with due diligence and interest.

My communication skills have been praised by my peers and my ability to work under pressure ensures that the task gets done no matter what.

I am also open to paid remote internships if the conditions are right.

(As I am relatively inexperienced, I would really appreciate any kind of advice or feedback that would help me get better as an ML Engineer and as well as a human being.)

I also have experience in building MERN stack web apps and mobile applications using React Native but I'd really prefer something Python and ML based.

Thank you for reading.

Senior Data Engineer. Interested in DE/ML Eng jobs but open to exploring other work.

I’m a web and app developer with over 15 years of professional experience. I’ve worked at startups, mid-sized companies, and large corporations including Apple, eBay, and the Comcast Silicon Valley Innovation Center. I specialize in full-stack web development (I prefer longer term backend/database/API feature development), and I’m experienced in iOS development, server administration, database design, and more.

I have been working at Siemens PLM Software for 7 years now, and I am looking for somewhere that I can have a bit more of an impact. My recent experience is mostly on the front end, but have done a bit of everything - CI/CD with Gitlab, GraphQL microservices, JS build systems, even old C++ server code occasionally. I have primarily worked with JavaScript professionally, but I enjoy trying out different languages (C#, Lua, Idris, Clojure) in my free time.

I'm looking for a role as a product analyst at a startup or small company (or at least that environment at a larger company). At this point I barely care about salary (within reason), just looking for a good opportunity. I like to write code, analyze data, think about things, and jump in on and just start making progress on things. I'm easy-going, opinionated but converge on the decision, happy to mentor others, and I genuinely just enjoy doing things and living life.

Some current projects outside of work where I write code and do some scrum master/project management work too:

* Doing market research (surveys and interviews) for a startup idea I have and have started building out an iOS application for based on this research.

* I started a 501(c)3 that has been a great vehicle for helping students. Launched a hackathon pre-pandemic and raised $7k (did some cold calling and leveraged existing relationships).

* Launched my own newsletter and grew that to about 83 subscribers but I've moved on to doing some other things instead.
