Seeking Work

New : HELPING YOUR TEAM SUPPORT EARLY-CAREER HIRES

The problem:

Your team is currently too busy to support your early-career (aka "junior") engineers. At the moment, you can't quite provide new recruits with the support they need.

My approach:

Where it makes sense, I offer to pair with your early-career engineer, to help them get up to speed more comfortably.

The goal is to engage in direct collaboration with your new team member, full-time over a period of a few weeks. This is to help new recruits improve faster in the following areas : attacking problems, gaining confidence, understanding collaboration, and asking "stupid" questions.

In an ideal world, this is work that your experienced engineers whould be doing... But many teams are stretched thin and just don't have enough time for this.

Feel free to check out https://collabs.uk/pairing/ for more information, as well as my portfolio.

Or : contact me at pierre@collabs.uk .

As this is an experiment, feel free to offer suggestions and alternative ideas.

SEEKING WORK | US | Remote Software boutique with experts in Python/Django, Javascript/React, and UI/UX design.

Hi I’m Artur, from Labcodes. We’re a software boutique based in Brazil. We’re results-driven and internationally recognized for our 7+ years of partnership with US companies.

We’re experts in Python/Django, Javascript/React, and UI/UX design. Our team is comfortable working together and has a strong engineering culture, which is hard and expensive to build on an internal team.

I know that engaging with an external company, even more if we reach you out on a cold approach, is risky, so I’ll leave some links with social proof of our knowledge and experience here.

Talks we gave in major Python/Django conferences https://lab.codes/talks

Client reviews https://lab.codes/clutch-reviews

React open-source libs we maintain https://github.com/labcodes/react-redux-api-tools https://github.com/labcodes/rel-events

SEEKING WORK | Remote only, based in Germany

I do electronics, end to end (design from idea, part selection, layout, prototyping, testing, enclosure design). Lately I've been working mainly on adapting existing designs to the new reality of part shortages. If you have a device that you can't produce at the moment due to part shortages I might be able to help you redesign it for the current availability situation. Of course I'm also more than happy to help with new devices. Contact at kliment@0xfb.com or Kliment on liberachat.

Recent example of this kind of adaptation: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arthurwolf/smoothieboar...

I won't work on weapons, advertising, cryptocurrencies or automotive (for motivation on the latter, see my analysis on the reason for the component crisis here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26931498 ). This is non-negotiable, don't bother asking.

SEEKING WORK | US | Remote

I build custom reporting dashboards and recurring exports; combining data from any of your existing systems (databases, logging stack, SalesForce, etc.) on top of an open source IDE (https://github.com/multiprocessio/datastation). No need for hard to maintain ETL processes or expensive reporting tools.

Examples of the kinds of questions I can help you answer in these dashboards and recurring exports:

  * How many users by category used feature X in the last 30/60/90 days
  * What was the 95-99 percentile size and amount of time for API requests by user category
  * How many (and what kind of) users would benefit if we improved X?
  * What (kind of) customers have been using the app/api less in the last few months?

Helping you break down performance and usage by business impact. Email me at phil at multiprocess.io if you'd like to chat.

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.

Since then I have been freelancing with the exceptions of 6 years where I have been exclusively working with one of germanies biggest conference companies to establish their internal and external tech products as well as their IT department. This was the beginning of leading and hiring diverse international teams for me, therefore kanban, scrum and design thinking are not foreign to me. Some I have even taught to clients, when I wear my consultant hat.

That hat also enables me to train others in what I have learned, makes me easygoing as a person and also not afraid of talking to other departments or clients. Overall I have 7 years of hands on (mid level) CTO experience but never really stoped coding since I was 11. I currently specialise in Golang, Kubernetes and how to best make them work together. I write minimal containers with distroless, build clusters from scratch, know my GitOps (also how to set them up) and currently like to play with the kubernetes api directly through the official go-client or the operator sdk among much more. I believe the kubernetes API is the actual key to multitenant deployments as well as more refined scaling techniques.

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 have worked on others and also like to tame bare-metal and everything in-between. I love solving difficult issues and do most of my work in development containers.

All this makes me perfect if you are looking for someone with seniority, that is flexible, plays well with others but also likes to get his hands dirty.

Technologies:

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

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.

Availability: About 20 concentrated hours per week The ideal engagement at this point would be with a firm that expects to need team-level help and wants to try me out as the lead for that on a smaller initial project.

You will like working with me because I:

  * hold your goals as my priorities
  * communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
  * my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
  * I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples: * built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight. * built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year. * built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.

  Willing to relocate: No

Software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and over ten years of experience in several technologies and programming languages. There are two fields where I mainly act: (1) DevOps; from database administration and data modelling to back-end programming or front-end design all the way to orchestrated deployment with latest tech and (2) Standalone software; involves embedded development in restrict environments, blockchain applications mostly related to Parity's Substrate and plain command-line interfaces.

On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where most public collaborations in the last five years were more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.

Over 40 certified courses have been completed and nine professional certifications that covers a wide range of areas were obtained from different organizations, e.g., Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Training Alliance. Learning is very important to keep up with both old and new technologies, my newest certification is the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect and more certifications will be earned over time.

In my last work experience I refactored, architected and developed many key parts of a Parachain always aiming for security, readability, robustness and maintainability, which contributed to two successful marketing campaigns. In addition to all this and to finish, I also created and deployed a brand new Relay Chain like Kusama or Polkadot for custom usage and testing.
