I've done a bunch of interesting stuff over the years. Drones, VR, OS development, low level network mobile/server stuff, reverse engineering, large-scale VPN DPI, streaming video, speech-to-text, automatic cloud optimisation, deep tech, etc. If you've got some interesting networking or low-level-system stuff, that'd be fun. But I'm open to all discussions :)

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes websites, landing pages, screenshots and copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background as a startup founder and full stack developer helps me create practical design solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort and performance. I work to fixed price quotes when projects are self-contained.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests 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 homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

I’m expert in both Rust and the web as a whole, a generalist with experience in web frontend, web backend and various non-web stuff too. But what I’m particularly enjoying these days is training people in Rust (formally or informally), mentoring, and things like that.

Resume/CV: https://laclin.com/kiraly-resume.pdf
I graduated from U.C. Berkeley with High Honors in Mathematics and Honors in Computer Science.
I've worked on 100s of successful projects for Rockwell, Northrop Grumman, Adobe, Motorola, the DTIC, UK-NCIS, and many others. I was the sole software developer one year for 50% of the U.S. Vote and did the initial draft of one of Adobe's printer protocols. I've worked on my own Linux distro for 25 years and have patched and built 1,000s of FOSS packages in the process.
I can handle an unusually wide range of work as the resume shows. I've done everything from anti-terrorism and fighter jet database appliances to webdev, technical writing, fraud detection, and restructuring one mid-size corporation.
In my most recent role, discussed in the PDF, I had a patch to Linux kernel 5.17 accepted. It was a minor patch but made it possible for the project to support vanilla kernels.
I'm looking for 1099 work. I don't mind junior roles and/or "fill in the gaps" tasks.
20+ years of career, last few years designing and writing Spring Boot applications and deploying them with Spring Cloud or Kubernetes on AWS because it pays well.
Wrote code in Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Ruby-on-Rails, Drupal (PHP) and even Lua.
Did Angular on the front-end, but could only master Vue.js.
Over the years, changed several professions: Corpus Linguistics, Speech Synthesis, Speech Recognition, Professional Services, AI/ML Research, Project Management, even had a 3-years stint as an IT Director of major news site.
Seeking either greenfield projects with a touch of Natural Language Processing or maintenance of high-volume software.
There is a lot of work in this field, but the higher the rate – the more you have to wait for opportunities.
My specialty is startups and early-stage - gap-filling and jumping in as a swiss-army knife. I have a business degree and decades of deep technical skills throughout the whole stack, from hardware design to UX.
