[Unfortunately for this time and place,] I am pretty unenthusiastic about both AI/ML and “AI”, but I am interested in dev tools, IoT stuff, hardware-software systems broadly, education, green energy, A/V production & distro, new-wave social/indieweb, civic tech, … and probably amenable to a lot more missions I haven’t especially considered.

I'm comfortable jumping up and down levels of abstraction and I like making things work together well. I'll call myself "full-stack" but in truth I tend to be most interested in all "edges" (HCI, API, hw/sw).

I have never been very good at job-acquisition (and it's only gotten worse), but I am pretty sure I could add a lot of value a lot of places if given the chance.

I am a Senior Engineer looking to join a high-trust, fast-moving startup.

My primary strength is Backend Architecture and Data Engineering (ETL, performance optimization). I am looking to join as a backend engineer first, but as I get settled and familiar with the codebase, I want to expand my scope to contribute to the Frontend and AI side of the product.

I thrive in early-stage environments where I can solve ambiguous problems and ship quickly.

Remote: exclusively

Willing to relocate: N/A

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.

Technologies: Python, C++, SQL, NoSQL, Go, Golang, Docker, Git, Linux, Bash, Windows, Kafka, Redpanda, PySpark, Spark, AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, SAP HANA, LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2

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 am open to many different roles, including being a software developer or data scientist. 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 and writing command-line tools. 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.

Up to anything, be it backend, frontend, blockchain, compilers, DevOps, embedded or mobile. Bonus point if there is a little bit of Rust involved.

If you are curious my greatest project is WTX, a fast WebSocket framework and Database client that gave me a lot of insights about performance and code architecture. See https://github.com/c410-f3r/wtx.

For more information, take a look at my CV (https://c410-f3r.github.io/curriculum.pdf).
