Hello! For 5 years I've been a cofounder and director of software engineering at a startup, growing and leading a team from 0 to 15+ developers. I have a deep understanding of technology and how to apply it to solve business problems. During the last months, I have done contractor work for a couple of companies, building the foundational software for one of them, and helping the other improve their software development processes to deliver a project they were struggling with.

I have a strong educational background (PhD in bioinformatics and machine learning, MSc in mathematics, MSc in computer science), and have worked with a variety of technologies (Python, C++, C, Go, JavaScript).

I've been a software engineer for 15+ years, and so have a wide range of projects I've worked on, both coding from scratch and leading teams of devs. To name a few: I built a multi-modal journey planner in C++ https://www.iomob.net/technology/, a machine learning platform in Python http://mmb.irbbarcelona.org/PMut, a math high school contests site with Django https://www.contrarellotge.cat.

I already linked my Github profile earlier, but if you want to see some code I wrote, here is a video where I explain some Python and C++ code I wrote for the hardest problem of last year's Advent of Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8jUMwnBQEU

SEEKING WORK | USA | Remote I provide consulting services for everything in the OpenAI / LLM / ChatGPT realm. I'm an ex-Google consultant who now enjoys working with LLMs. After extensive work on projects for the likes of Village Global, I've developed advanced techniques for solving traditional problems in the space.

I mainly provide Chat Bot / Assistant / Co-Pilot / Question Answering systems over your custom / private dataset. Everything from basic (vector similarity retrieval + chat functionality) to advanced (massive accuracy improvement over vector similarity) systems.

I also have extensive ETL / data experience, so if your dataset is large, and/or is not already cleaned / prepared / queryable, that won't be an issue.

All projects are fixed-price (no hourly billing). A typical basic chat bot / question answering system is $15,000 flat fee (excluding cloud hosting and OpenAI API costs) with a 2-week turnaround.

SEEKING WORK | SF Bay Area, CA, US | Remote US

Current tech: Python, JS, Bootstrap, SQL/DB. Past tech: K8s/Helm, Clojure, Java/Maven, JSF, PHP.

I'm a long time freelancer who's taken full time gigs in Big Tech / SV and pretty much settled on freelancing now. I can offer $15/hr for at least the first 90 days with a 30 day rate change notice period.

I feel offering a minimal intro rate helps us learn how we work together in a risk free way and lets clients explore where I can help them unlock value. Ideally I'd like to mentor people to take over manual work at that rate as I automate and do higher impact work at a rate that reflects the value, closer to industry standard.

This seems unconventional but it reflects how in kitchens I can evolve from dish washer to helping with food prep and beyond, as the chef sees fit.

I thrive in R&D roles but can also do DevOps and put out production fires. I've been in the industry for my whole adult life and I don't think I've become entitled/unhumble and rigid as people sometimes imagine older devs. Well worth the $15/hr, not upset to be fired or afraid to fire if it's not working out.

SEEKING WORK | Canada | Remote

I have a PhD in computer engineering, focusing on operations research (OR). I specialize in consulting and advising on OR matters for startups. In short, I can translate a real-world problem into a mathematical model that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other optimization methods. My goal is to provide a production-ready solution for any type of problem you might have related to OR.

As a recent example, I've been contracted by a company to create a user-tunable, multi-objective optimization model for the automatic selection of indexes in Postgres databases. This tool will be available for their clients starting this fall.

SEEKING WORK - Netherlands - Remote-only

I'm a full-stack engineer looking for contract work.

I'm most experienced in PHP/Laravel and Javascript/Typescript/React, but am pretty tech-fluid.

Previously, I worked at Etsy (three years) and Trello (five years, both pre- and post-Atlassian acquisition).

Recent client projects include a Next.js site backed by a WordPress/GraphQL API and an MVP for a video recording and annotation app build with Laravel.

Resume: https://www.toptal.com/resume/gerard-o-neill A few work examples: https://grardb.com/work

My ideal project would be solo-shipping an MVP in the span of 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity, but I'm also happy to work on longer projects with other developers as well.

email: grardb@gmail.com

rate: $800/day - willing to go a bit lower if hired through Upwork, just so I can get out of the "0 jobs, 0 reviews" pit.
