Hello! I'm Ricardo, a self taught Full-stack Engineer with 10y of professional experience, and strong emphasis in backend development. My expertise spans Javascript/Typescript, NextJS, Astro, React, PHP 8, Flutter, SQL, Postgres/Prisma, Docker, and more. Additionally, I hold an MBA and have prior experience in administration and financial analysis.

For over a decade, I worked at the same company, where I designed, developed, and deployed a suite of enterprise applications serving 700+ active daily users. These systems have operated seamlessly and unattended for the past year, showcasing my commitment to building robust and reliable software.

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia. I have over a decade of experience in scientific research, especially on the numerical side. I have years of experience in writing software for and running large simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems. I have also developed software for non-scientific purposes, like creating user interfaces for desktop applications. I have years of experience working with large datasets, including the tasks of calculating statistics and developing hypotheses/models/theories from data. I've worn many hats over the years and love learning new and interesting topics.

Looking for opportunities to work with companies or individuals doing interesting things. I can have overlap with EU or Asian time zones, and I’m open to async work in PST or partial overlap with PST.

I have over 7 years of experience in software. My primary focus has been on infrastructure (working with web hosting companies, multiple Fortune 10 companies, and early to late-stage startups). While my expertise lies in infrastructure, I also build applications[1][2][3], though I don’t do this as often (mostly in my free time or on contract).

Location: Los Angeles Remote: Yes

Relocation: Case-by-case

I'm a tech leader, expert engineer, and data professional interested in team-building, consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.

At ATTN:, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily. I created SOPs for managing data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc.

More recently, I was a co-founder in a gaming startup. We raised over $6M and I was in charge of building out a team of over a dozen remote engineers and designers, with a breadth of experience ranging from Citibank, to Goldman Sachs, to Microsoft. I moved on, but retain significant equity and a board seat. I am also a minority owner of a coffee shop in northern Spain.

That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in flexing my consulting muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.

Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

SEEKING WORK - Data scientist, remote worldwide, email in profile.

A colleague and I lost out on a large optimization project (network scheduling during cascading failures) with an airline and I'm now looking for work. My ideal is a small/medium company where I can do no BS data science - ML, AI, and OR are my jam.

I love avant garde problems, and have a pretty unique toolset (LLMs+KB, OR+ML, etc). I've worked with names you know in tech, automotive, and other spaces.

I've worked on projects including large language models, knowledge extraction, and the usual ML stuff - failure prediction, translation, maintenance optimization, automated sports highlights, and more. I've also done some more interesting work including vehicle route planning in constrained environments.

The perfect fit is a small/medium sized company with a hair on fire green or brownfield problem that needs solving. I'm available immediately, and champing at the bit. Even if you're unsure, get in touch. Email in profile.

Founding Engineer, Full-stack Developer, Engineering Lead/Manager, CTO

============

I’m an ex-technical founder with 20+ years of experience aspiring to a product/engineering lead, founding engineer, or CTO-like position. For the last ~8 years, I was co-founder and CTO at amy.app, an AI math tutoring platform. During that time, we scaled the remote-first company to about 25 employees. Before that, I obtained a PhD @ Oxford/UC-Canterbury in Human-Robot Interaction. Recently, I’ve been exploring real-time voice agents (related to my PhD) and multimodal LLMs to automate office tasks.

I’m very product/customer-focused and pragmatic. I like to move super fast.

My dream environment is an early-stage, fully remote startup.

PS: To demonstrate my speed, here are two LLM projects I fully developed within 48 hours. They even got some traction on Hacker News: https://www.line-items.com and https://josefs-picture-book.brandstetter.io
