I'm mainly looking for some kind of very hands-on staff engineer role with a larger org, or a real chance to steer the technical and social culture at an early stage startup. A role that also gives me the opportunity to further bootstrap my pathetic novice level Rust skills would be particularly interesting.
I will only be considering remote-first roles, although I am more than happy to make occasional visits to a real office.
I will be available from the beginning of October. Please note that I won't work for gambling or gambling-adjacent businesses.
Have a web app you’re considering rewriting? Maybe it uses older tech. Maybe your devs don’t want to touch it. Maybe you’re hoping all or some of it can be salvaged. Regardless, a rewrite can be one of the most expensive and time consuming things your company will ever do. You owe it to yourself to get a second opinion.
I offer an independent, fixed price service where I assess your current solution, engage with your stakeholders, and present you with the best options going forward. This takes place over a 2-4 week period, after which you’ll be in a much better position to proceed. Or not, as the case may be.
When it comes to rewrite attempts I’ve seen it all. Before, after, during. The good, the bad and the ugly. Your system will not scare me. It will not affect me emotionally. My advice is impartial and based on pragmatic criteria, not which tech stack I want on my resume.
So send me an email - tell me why you’re thinking of re-writing, what you hope it will solve, and what you foresee going wrong. I’ll give you an initial 30 minute consultation for free, and we can decide where to go from there.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in a consultation like that - I'd be curious what your strategy is when approaching particularly gnarly projects.

6 years of experience in back-end software engineering and team leadership.
Hi, I'm Christian! Recently, I've been consulting as a software engineer in the AWS ecosystem. Prior to that, I led the software engineering team at a regulatory analytics startup in D.C, where I helped architect data ingestion systems. My areas of expertise include API and platform development, driving engineering initiatives, and mentoring other developers. Open to contract roles at the moment. Please don't hesitate to reach out!
In my most recent role, I brought Stationhead, a social radio platform, from stealth mode to Series A, outcompeting well-funded startups (Clubhouse) and big-tech plays (Amazon Amp, Spotify Greenroom). Highlights from my work at Stationhead include: * building our first revenue-generating feature, owning it from ideation and architecture design through to implementation and delivery; * leading the team bringing Android development in-house to improve the quality of the app, user experience, and increase the tempo of developing new features.

I'm redirecting my career path from industrial maintenance management to software development.
I've done, among other things, over 10 years of code maintenance and functions extensions in a live industrial production environments.
My current preferred tool set: Python, PostgreSQL, Django, Git, Docker, Linux. Now I prefer boring tools which allow me to concentrate on the problem at hand.
I'm open to other tools as needed.
My most recent project is Polish law change monitoring service available at https://unkot.pl. The source code https://gitlab.com/stakent/unkot
In the past I've used go (golang), cython, neural networks with feedback loops running on CPUs, genetic programming.
I've designed and implemented event driven architecture with log based source of truth for the system which is distributed, eventually consistent, can work with unreliable network.

I've got 6+ YOE doing backend development at scale (AWS/microservices) and DevOps.
I'm looking for backend focused roles (very open and eager to learn different languages/tech like Go or Python). I'd like to work in a team that values teamwork, camaraderie, and mentoring. I prefer environments where teams have ownership of their tooling and processes.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
If you are looking for someone with a lot of flexibility to work across engineering, design/innovation, and finance/business teams - please feel free to reach out.
I released my first app to the Apple app store in 2012 from conception to completion.
An ideal project would be to work on an MVP, Prototype or Proof of Concept mobile app and deliver it to your phone via TestFlight within a month.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lejnine/ (full resume by request)
Email: hello@lejnine.com
Full stack dev, with lots of experience in hybrid mobile apps. Open to contracts and full-time.
The combinations of all these experiences has given me an inside view on the inner workings and machinations of a scrappy startup fighting to survive as well as the bureaucratic bloat that can be endemic to large corporations. Moving quickly and breaking things can sully your customer's trust in you; Moving too slowly with too much red tape can fail a project for no other reason than idleness.
I am open to working in a management position or getting back to my roots and working in an engineering role. Even better, I would like to get into another hybrid role of higher level management and low-level engineering. I think those of us already working in tech forget how much of a superpower programming can be in all facets of business.
If you think you have a fit for me in your company or if you just want to reach out and discuss something, my email is sam@woodward.fyi and I am always glad to talk tech.
The current desired areas of interest for my next company are * National security * Security (General) * Climate Change * Agriculture * Automotive * Robotics * Fintech
I have no interest in anything `crypto' or `web3` related.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Rust, C, low/hardware level programming, reverse engineering, Bitcoin mining, Linux
