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 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.
Remote: Yes, also open to hybrid/in-office
Willing to relocate: Yes, to SF or Seattle
Technologies: Java, Terraform, C#, .NET, Angular, TypeScript, SQL

Hi! I'm Buck, a software engineer with 6 years of experience building cloud services and enterprise web apps, and I'm looking for my next backend or full-stack role, with an eye towards moving West. At Oracle, I currently work on a serverless function for generating documents (https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Functions/Tasks/f...), which has been fascinating, as I've gotten to learn the internals of the DOCX and XLSX formats while also using Terraform and custom tooling to deploy and maintain the product in dozens of cloud regions. Before this project, I also worked on the Database Tools Service (https://www.oracle.com/database/tools-service/), a cloud service for creating reusable database connections and executing SQL, helping to integrate with internal platforms, maintain the service, and deploy it to many regions. In general, I'm known for solving problems thoroughly, maintaining high standards in development and reviews, and helping out teammates and customers whenever I see the opportunity. If any of that sounds interesting to you, I would love to hear from you!
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: I'm a product marketing executive and not a developer or admin but have gotten hands-on with vSphere, Azure, AWS, Kubernetes and languages like Python, RoR, Angular, bash, PowerShell
Resume & Email: see profile
Spent 6 years in Marketing at a B2B software startup then another 4 years after that helping integrate the startup after acquisition by large-cap public company. Now I'm looking to get back to a startup and lead/build a product marketing function for folks solving interesting problems. Reach out if you need a tech-savvy marketing leader focused on messaging & positioning, GTM strategy, competitive intelligence, content, and enablement.

I’m Brad Davis, a senior software engineer and product-focused developer with over a decade of experience building scalable applications, data pipelines, and AI-driven tools. At Ginkgo Bioworks, I led the development of a 5.6 TB genomic and metadata data lake supporting 120+ researchers, integrating AWS and Snowflake to streamline scientific workflows. My work has spanned creating React.js applications for lab teams, implementing machine learning pipelines, and optimizing developer workflows with AI-assisted code generation.
I’ve contributed to open-source AI projects such as RooCode and built my own educational platform, [Snow Day](https://github.com/thecolorblue/snow_day), which generates vocabulary quizzes using LLMs. My career has included both engineering and product management roles, giving me a unique ability to bridge technical and business requirements. I enjoy designing systems that make data more accessible, applications more intuitive, and teams more effective.

I’m a programmer with two year of experience. I currently work for Huawei on Gaussdb (a fork of Postgres).
I love working on challenging problems and collaborating with teammates. I have a deep knowledge of rust, python and C++. And have worked on a large performance oriented code base as well as a small startup code base where development speed is essential.
I’m passionate about the work I do and take pride in my ability to ship good code that gets the job done.
I'm a software engineer passionate about solving complex challenges with creativity and precision. With hands-on experience across a broad range of technologies, I thrive on continuous learning and building impactful solutions. Most recently, I co-created Splinter(https://splinter-app.github.io/), an open-source pipeline that simplifies unstructured data ingestion for AI/ML workflows. I’ve also contributed to the Mozilla Firefox browser, landing patches in key features such as Picture-in-Picture, Reader Mode, Private Browsing Mode, and about:policies.
Also have experience building RAG-based AI chatbots that combine structured and semantic retrieval to deliver accurate, context-aware responses.
I’m fully available and open to remote, hybrid, or in-office roles. I’m eligible to work in Canada and don’t require sponsorship.

Expert backend developer primarily focused on data engineering, mission critical/low latency/highly available systems, and AWS (certs: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8). Happy to deal with greenfield or legacy or any mix of the two.
I prefer long term contract work, though I’ll help you with smaller things as well. Available for W2 employment only in exceptional cases – if you need a CTO, VP of Eng, or head of infrastructure to help you scale, let’s talk.

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.

DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineering -- I'm interested in solving infrastructure and operational problems with software and taking ownership of the whole software system, including production.
I thrive when embedded in product teams, blending backend and infrastructure. I'm comfortable taking initiative to identify and remove performance or process bottlenecks -- many times users have thanked me for removing a big pain point they only realized the scale of after it was fixed.
Looking for teams where I can combine backend and infrastructure work, dig into performance problems, take ownership across the stack, and help scale products reliably.
