SEEKING WORK | UK / Remote (Anywhere)

Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Perhaps? Not immediately

Technologies:

FRONTEND: React | Vue | Pug | TypeScript | Vue | HTML

BACKEND: Laravel | Apollo and/or Express | Next.js | Prisma | GraphQL/REST

Desktop: Electron

Hi!

I'm Interested in front-end , back-end and desktop development and I'm available for either short or long term gigs. I work mostly with Javascript/Typescript and PHP (list of tech above). Perhaps you need some help refactoring an existing app, or doing the "tedious" things like adding tests, or maybe you have an existing project to get over the finish line, or add features to. Or perhaps you have a new idea and you'd like a prototype sketched out quickly. I can help with any of these, or perhaps something in between or a bit different?

Please get in touch, I should be able to know quickly if this is something I can help with and I'd be happy to do a few hours "exploratory" work free of charge if required or provide examples/suggestions.

Standard Rate: £18/$22 per hour

Flexible with timezones, I can easily workaround EST/PST etc. If you are elsewhere I'm sure we can figure something out.

Ex-Google ML Researcher

I have advised and mentored 12 AI companies in building strategy, defensibility, data gathering, and building differentiated models. Collectively, these companies have raised $50M+ in early-stage funding from investors like Sequoia, Greylock, a16z, etc

More recently, I have been collaborating with VCs and helping with due diligence, white space discovery, and market analysis for ML & Generative AI companies - essentially helping them differentiate solid companies from vaporware.

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 7 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

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 the streaming data architecture for realtime game player information and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization.

* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.

* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.

* built a ~50 node, AWS, 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.

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, 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.

SEEKING WORK | Canada | Remote

I have a PhD in operations research---essentially, I solve optimization problems. You can give me a real-world problem and I can translate it into a mathematical model that can be solved (often optimally) via integer programming, constraint programming, or other methods.

I'm currently working on a column generation-based daily fantasy sports (DFS) solver as a personal project. Taking as input the predictions/requirements of the user, this solver can generate optimal lineups for multi-entry tourneys. It is, as far as I'm aware, the only DFS solver that can generate provably optimal sets of lineups for multi-entry DFS tourneys.

SEEKING WORK | Italy | Remote

I am a security researcher, author, and writer seeking for work. I offer two main type of services: reverse engineering and code audit. My background is on Computer Engineering, specializing into Information Security with a particular glance for abstract interpretation and static analysis.

I've been passionate about reverse engineering since I was at high school, when I got my first job involving the recovering of an algorithm used to obfuscate an input of industrial machine. Since then I've been working on a lot of projects related to RE (unfortunately under nda) that ranges from automotive to home appliance. My main stack includes IDA pro, Ghidra and BinaryNinja to ensure the high quality of the analysis and crosscheck the hypothesis via debuggers (LLDB). The main target architecture: arm and x86, but I've worked on some others specific architecture that required a different approach, like rewriting a disassembler based on the information of a specs sheet. My work includes malware analysis, and source code recovering. I've worked also on analysis of firmwares for IoT, writing security reports on common bad practices producers used to have in their devices. (Different from reverse engineering, but I can sure work with you if you need that type of service).

Code audit instead relies on analysis of source code looking for undefined conditions, bad code practice and patterns, and, naturally, security issues. The final work is a detailed analysis on the issues found in the code, optionally including fixes or the patch if needed. The programming language I usually work with includes most of imperative languages: C, C++, Python, Java, Go (and more others).

If you want to read the type of analysis I perform, you can look at my blog or request the reports I did for the clients via e-mail.
