[ 4.0 ms ] story [ 208 ms ] threadI 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:
Examples of work I've done for clients: 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.You can find out more or get in touch here: https://www.nonstopops.io/?sid=hnf2109h
I can help you launch your MVP. I’m a generalist engineer with 11 years of experience. I’ve worked at big and small companies, as CTO of a startup, and done lots of consulting. Most of that was doing web stuff, but I’ve also worked on more niche stuff like ML, computer vision, and microcontrollers. I have worked as a consultant long enough to know that the process is as important as the code, and being able to communicate even more so.

My background as a full stack developer and independent app creator lets me work closely with your developers to design solutions that strike a balance between development effort, performance and usability.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that audits websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the desktop homepage is optimised to load in 0.7s with only 0.3MB transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

I'm a staff-level individual contributor with 14 years of full-stack experience in a wide variety of technologies, languages, and problem spaces.

These include no-code web builders for forms and whole applications that have saved thousands of developer-hours and millions of dollars, HIPAA-compliant, versioned and fully-auditable data stores, configurable streaming data infrastructure system, and a workflow engine that is responsible for the coordination of a live production application that serves millions.

*****************
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.
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.

In the past, I've:
- Saved a company $500k a year in CI infrastructure costs.
- Worked with several hundred engineer organizations to migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.
- Introduced configuration as code and GitOps best practices to teams.
- Built dynamic review environments triggered on a pull request.
I'm available to:
- Reduce the costs of your CI infrastructure so that you can free up your infrastructure budget.
- Help you migrate from Jenkins to a more modern CI platform, like GitHub Actions, to reduce operational overhead and iterate faster.
- Help your team evaluate emerging technologies and processes. CircleCI or GitHub Actions? Kubernetes or Nomad? GitOps or ChatOps? How do you know what's likely going to be a fad and what's not? I can help your team avoid costly mistakes when adopting new tools and processes.
- Scale your DevOps processes. Should your company adopt full-stack teams that own the entire delivery pipeline, or should a specialized team of internal experts own the pipelines? These are the questions I can help you answer so that you can decide on the right trade-offs that make sense for your company as it scales to avoid future expensive migrations.
- Do implementation work. Maybe you're a small team that doesn't have enough DevOps resources. I can augment your team, dive in, and start delivering fast. I'm well-versed in terraform, Kubernetes, docker, etc. I can help you build repeatable pipelines, documentation and provide a smooth hand-off to your internal team.
- Need something else? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Fern Creek Software is in need of multiple developers with various disciplines. Most of what we do is C# but that is honestly not a big requirement for us as most smart developers can pick up another language pretty easy.
We are consultants so we do work for other companies, usually SaaS companies.
Our teams are small, usually less than 7 people and we try to make sure and keep developers writing code instead of stuck in meetings.
This is a job where you will constantly be solving challenging technical problems, working with and learning from other really smart developers and using the latest tech stacks.
I need people who are self starters, can stay focused and can work independently, we are not setup for lots of overhead. We have no project managers or anything like that.
Interested?
