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.

The primary service I offer is managed Site Reliability Engineering in high to medium ambiguity environments where the client would prefer not to micromanage day to day development. If you have systems (or need systems built) that must firmly meet, and prove they meet, their Service Level Agreements: I can help.

If the work requires a team, I will bring a team. If it is a one-person job, that is also fine. Your goals are my priorities. My rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver.

Concrete examples (scratch built systems/teams, where I was sole or lead engineer):

* built and deployed an AWS Lambda architecture replatforming portfolio management for a ~3 yo startup hedge fund

* 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.

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

I've led and developed teams of up to twelve engineers, have years of experience in a technical product ownership role, and have been fully responsible for the architecture, initial implementation, and ongoing production management and maintenance for systems currently used by millions in the health care space.

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 view myself as a strong individual contributor who acts as both a force-multiplier for the team and a critical communications hub by being able to understand and translate the needs of a variety of stake-holders due to my truly full-stack business experience.

  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.

If you're technical, check out the assembler at https://assemble.molecule.dev, submit your selection, and I'll quickly get back to you. If not, contact me at hn2202@fullstacked.services and let me know what you're building and we can start with a Molecule that I assemble for you.

    Push Notifications (Quick setup for every platform)
    Payment Platforms (Quick setup for every platform): Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, possibly crypto soon
