Email: mike@geary.com

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

Hi! I'm looking for a nice job that makes me feel good with what I'm doing. I am a Dev & Interaction designer hybrid — quite inventive and creative.

I've been really curious about how to use LLMs beyond the typical chatbot experience. I put together a small collection of experiments with funky UIs that leverage LLMs behind the scenes. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

‎I have extensive experience building software with Python and Javascript (along with their respective frameworks and libraries).

‎ ‎I've built Closedlinks.com which introduces a very simple yet powerful model for secure, anonymous sharing through one-time access links that leave no traceable sender fingerprint. Unlike conventional tools that prioritize persistence and traceability, ClosedLinks is purpose-built for interactions where privacy, control, and non-attribution are essential. ‎

‎If you want to read more on why I built it and how it works, check out the white paper - https://www.closedlinks.com/white-paper/

   Salary: USD 150k / year

I'm an AI engineer and senior full-stack developer with an aspiration for a team/product lead or CTO-like position. For ~7 years, I was co-founder and CTO of an ed-tech company called amy.app. My co-founder and I scaled the fully-remote company to about 25 employees. Before that, I earned a PhD in Human-Robot Interaction in NZ and Oxford. I've used the past year contracting, after winding down my company, to learn and apply as much as possible about AI solutions. I'm talking; RAG (Multiple TB), Agentic-Search, Deep-Research, LLM based email automation, AI-tools, MCP, Vibe-Coding,... Currently, I'm designing and working on an agentic enterprise search engine for the AEC industry for a customer (Supabase + Vercel AI SDK, Mastra, Multi-Modal Embedding, etc.)

I'm very product/customer-focused and pragmatic. I like to move super fast (not only because of Cursor :D).

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

PS: I have a family, which means the main compensation via shares isn't an option for me.

hi! I'm David, a software/devops engineer with a passion for grit and going from 0 to 1. I've been building software and infrastructure for over 10 years, and most recently have built enterprise B2B SaaS products for organizations in the cybersecurity space.

I am open to both full-time and contract engagements.

I don't particularly enjoy coasting or clocking out at 5pm (mostly since I'm a night owl), so I'm looking for opportunities where I can move fast, build, ship fast, contribute the most value, and grow. If my skills and experience seem like a good fit for your needs, please reach out!
