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!
Interests : compilers, language runtimes, 2D & 3D graphics, performance

Hello, my name is Jesse.
I'd describe myself as a competent generalist and a lifelong learner. I'm frequently working on something I've never done before.
My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup where I wrote prototypes for a compiler and a cycle simulator.
One of my personal projects of ~10 years is a 3D game engine. Working on it has taught me a great deal about systems and graphics programming. It runs on Windows, Linux and Web (WASM/WebGL). I chose to build it without any libraries (barring the CRT for startup), which began as a learning exercise, but has taught me the value of simplicity.
I've also been working on a metaprogramming system for C & CPP. Think templates/constexpr, but significantly more ergonomic. It turns out I have a small passion for compilers. It currently generates many tens of thousands of lines of code for my game engine project including containers and an interactive realtime data visualization/editor.
On the optimization side of things, I recently wrote the world's fastest open-source AVX2 Perlin noise implementation, and wrote about the process on my blog. I beat the state-of-the-art by ~1.8x, which took me about two weeks.
That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "have strong opinions, weakly held". Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer!
Cheers, Jesse

Remote: yes
Role: Staff+ Engineer, Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, or Co-founder
I'm a serial builder who thrives in the space between engineering and business. Over the last 10 years I've:
- Designed autonomous driving tech (Mercedes)
- Built threat detection systems + data platforms (Proofpoint)
- Led AI teams tackling real-world problems in support + finance (Velocity Global)
Pattern: I like taking hard technical problems, translating them into real-world value, and iterating fast with whoever's in the room — ops, finance, legal, you name it. I'm most useful where "that's not how we do things" isn't the end of the conversation.
Looking for a team that wants to build ambitious things and have a little fun along the way.

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia and research labs. 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.

Backend engineer with experience building agentic and RAG systems. At my previous job, I architected and wrote the LLM platform code powering a suite of LLM-based workflows used by major law firms.
At my current job, I built an LLM-powered document generation system (generating trusts, wills, etc.) and an agentic system for onboarding new clients. I am most productive in Python, but we have been switching to Kotlin at work and I think it's great. I have also been learning Rust and employing it in a side project (generating static sites based off of Google Maps info, also using LLMs).
I have a JD from a top law school and spent time in biglaw, so am particularly suited for building legal tech or adjacent products.
I have spent my entire career at early-stage startups and have had the experience of building from scratch multiple times. No strong preference in terms of size of company, industry, etc. Mostly looking for people who are easy to work with at a company that is building something reasonably useful.
Remote: Yes (have worked exclusively remotely for past 14 years)
Willing to relocate: No
I've been doing backend work for the past 14 years, with Python, Django, and Django REST Framework. I'm intimately familiar with schema and data migrations, including migrations between Django projects. I've done a lot of full-stack work as well, with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, and React.js. I've worked extensively with startups and I've worked with Twitter. I have a lot of experience working with distributed teams and am open to occasional travel. Available full (~32hrs) or part time. Interested in Python work or full-stack with Python.

I’m Micayla — a freelance designer specializing in developing brand identities for startups and small businesses. Think: logos, color systems, brand voice, landing page designs, pitch decks, templates, and everything in between to make your product feel polished. I’m looking to take on new clients — so if you’re working on something cool or know a founder who could use branding support, let’s connect.
Outside of work, I’m a self taught developer and I’ve spent ~10 years programming, contributing to open source and running a homelab: building Go/Python backends, writing proxies and CLIs, and maintaining Linux/Windows servers, containers (docker, kubernetes), and virtualized setups.
I’m now looking to move into software development full‑time and turn my passion into a living.

Available for remote work worldwide, very flexible across time zones. Looking for permanent or contract positions. Hi! I’m Olga, an experienced software engineer looking for frontend or fullstack projects.
I have experience building greenfield projects and complex features that “just work,” as well as diving into complex legacy codebases, fixing “unfixable” bugs, and performing major refactoring.
In addition to React/Next.js and Node/Express.js development, I also have experience with cloud-native workflows (Golang + Kubernetes), OpenAI API integration and agentic workflows, native iOS development, and game development. Thanks to my multi-platform experience, I can help you port large products across different platforms.
