Particularly good at cleaning up messes! Suitable contracts might include legacy module rewrites, performance improvements, or the daunting new feature which nobody on your team wants to tackle.
I can be flexible on time zones. No interest in relocating long-term, but I'd be happy to visit your team in person for a few days to break the ice.
My specialist skills:
- The Rust language, which has been my daily driver for more than a decade.
Fields in which I'm highly experienced, but below specialist level:
- Web development, with a frontend bias (TypeScript, React, WebGL, WebAssembly...)
- Native development, especially low-level Win32.
- Communication and technical writing, both learned in a previous career.
I also have a modest level of experience in computer vision, greenfield R&D, game engine development, programming language development, and data compression. I can offer a 50% discount for any contract which seems highly educational; my current areas of interest include DSP, embedded programming, Svelte, functional languages, Swift, and React Native.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you :-)

Hi, my name is Alec and I build infrastructure and glue systems together. I have completed projects ranging from writing backend application code to building out idempotent infrastructure. I'm looking to branch out into more formal SRE roles as well. If you're worried about the state of your infrastructure, or your developers spend too much time mucking with infrastructure versus feature work, OR if you have no idea what I'm even talking about, then I am certainly going to be a help on your team.
Who I am: I'm an experienced (10+ years), versatile Full Stack engineer, specifically have passion in AI-driven application development. I'm seeking an opportunity to contribute to the success of a team while continuing to learn and expand my skills. I'm not working in a technical role at the moment, but am attempting to get back into the engineering world.

Technologies: Full stack web dev for 15+ years in many forms. In recent years I've been focused on game development projects using Babylon/WebGL and working with C++ & Go server-side (MMO servers). Many years of project and product management as well.
I have some cool projects! See my personal site for email and some of those projects:
My largest project is https://www.eternalsagas.com/, which is a near-full reverse engineering and work towards a re-implementation of the 2007 MMORPG "Vanguard". The current browser-based client is very far behind my Godot based client, which I'll be releasing in a couple weeks.
Coolest more-released one is probably https://www.idlequest.net/, which is an idle-game web-based version of classic EverQuest, complete with its original 3D graphics in-browser and a real-time MMO server! Had up to 70 players online at the same time a month or two ago.
Looking largely for product engineering positions for organizations that are on the vibe-coding bandwagon, or project/product management style work. Have done both and enjoy both a lot. Open to contracting or full-time.
I'm a product-minded fullstack software engineer with a strong eye for UX and design. I work confidently across the stack and thrive in fast-paced startup environments where quick, innovative problem-solving is key. I use AI heavily in my development workflow to ship faster, and I design and build AI-powered features as core parts of the products I work on.

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I’m currently doing DevOps work for an open source project, operate a small web hosting company, and working as an accounting assistant for a local firm. My skillset is focused on the System Administration/DevOps side, with a bit of general dev experience primarily with Python. I have a PhD in Physics where my research focus was computational biophysics. On the side I also host my own infrastructure as a hobby, from the hardware to the nameservers and everything in between.
Having worked at startups before, I’m comfortable wearing many hats (and enjoy the variety).
Hi, I’m Fabrizio Milo, a senior AI/ML engineer, large-scale systems architect, and former technical co-founder. I’ve spent my career building production AI, ML infrastructure, and high-scale backend systems across startups and growth-stage companies.
Most recently, I’ve been building AI platforms for LLM training and fine-tuning, RAG databases, local and remote LLM inference, semantic retrieval, and agentic orchestration for business intelligence and code generation. I’ve also contributed to open source ML projects including GPT-Neo, TensorFlow and published research on synthetic data from LLMs.
Previously, I was VP of Technology at ZELIG, where I led the virtual try-on AI research roadmap and managed a cross-functional team building ML/3D systems for fashion retail. Before that, I was Head of Machine Learning Engineering at Recurrency, where I hired and led a 6-person ML/platform team and shipped demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, and recommendation systems on AWS/Snowflake/SageMaker. I also co-founded Passio, where I built the technical foundation for an on-device Nutrition-AI SDK with real-time computer vision inference.
Earlier in my career, I built scalable systems at TheRealReal and Scopely, optimized CUDA kernels at NVIDIA, and worked on real-time market-data and high-performance systems. I’m strongest where AI research, production engineering, and startup execution meet: taking ambiguous technical/product goals and turning them into shipped systems, teams, and infrastructure.
I can architect and build anything you need given enough compute and time.
Python/Jupyter developer in Boston. I build data tools and I start by talking to the people who'll use them, because code that doesn't get adopted is wasted work. My main thing is Buckaroo (github.com/paddymul/buckaroo, ~680 stars), an open-source data table for Jupyter over Pandas/Polars. I built both the data layer and the React frontend. Looking for a team building data tooling (as a product or in house).
Backend/platform engineer with 6 YOE. I started in DevOps consulting, building automation, CI/CD, and Terraform/Packer workflows for Fortune 500 clients, then moved into backend engineering on a healthcare claims/payments platform. Recent work includes owning a greenfield ingestion service from first commit to production, shipping cross-service billing integrations, resolving P1 performance issues, and supporting production services through Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability ownership. Cut runtime by 90% on one client-sensitive workflow.

Hi, I'm Alex Stout, a full-stack software engineer who's combined their mastery of the fundamentals with AI development experience. Earlier this year I helped launch version 1.0 of the TypeScript-based Mastra AI framework, e.g. I built a native Datadog LLM trace exporter. More recently, I’ve been conducting small-scale agentic AI systems research, and integrating AI capabilities (like building an MCP) into an GovQL, an open source project using GraphQL to query federal government data. I also have non-AI greenfield experience, e.g. last year I co-created Unilogs, a highly scalable log observability platform featuring a condensed one-step deployment to AWS (read more about it in the case study I wrote here: https://unilogs.github.io/).
Backend and Product Architect specializing in engineering highly concurrent, data-intensive distributed systems that foundationally power complex product features and AI integration.
I architect highly reliable distributed systems, including idempotent Kafka/Redis payment pipelines and rate-limiting API gateways. I manage full-lifecycle DevOps (Docker/K8s) and integrate modern frontends (React) with AI (LLMs/RAG).
I’m Naman, looking for GTM Engineering, Growth Engineering, GTM Systems, RevOps, Founder’s Associate, Sales Engineering, Product Manager or related roles at early stage startups.
I’ve spent the past few years working close to founders on GTM, partnerships, community, events, and early distribution. At Rally Tax (YCW23), I helped build outbound and partnership motions. At Koinz Capital, I helped source early stage startup dealflow across AI, healthtech, SaaS, consumer, fintech, student founder networks, and startup events.
Best fit: early stage teams that need someone who can build GTM systems, run outbound, clean data, automate workflows, talk to users, and move fast without much structure.
I build AI agent infrastructure. Most recently: Tracea (tracea.dev), an open-source observability platform for AI agent teams that patches the HTTP transport layer to trace LLM calls without any framework changes — no SDK wrappers, no code changes, just install and instrument. Also built ObservAgent (1000+ active users, open source).
Research side: co-authored a paper on failure-aware penetration testing - training LLMs to emit typed failure tokens so failure recognition becomes a structured recovery signal rather than an implicit state.
Prior: full-stack engineer shipping software to 50k+ users.
Looking for full-stack or AI/ML engineering roles at early-stage or growth-stage companies working on production AI systems - LLM integration, agent infrastructure, or observability. High ownership, real users, hard problems.
What I do: I build agentic systems and full-stack infrastructure — things that ship, observe themselves, and run autonomously.
Recent work:
- Founding contributor at NimbleBrain: designed the agentic loop and workflow engine that guides AI agents through building and publishing MCP server integrations end-to-end
- Co-created Vispyr: self-hosted observability platform on AWS with automated infra provisioning, OTel instrumentation, and a full Grafana telemetry stack

I'm a systems programmer and I am happier the lower in the stack I am. The narrative of my career is one of going deeper into the infrastructure, deeper into the stuff that other people get to build on top of. I most recently spent a couple of years on the async Rust dataplane at Cloudflare, working on an L3/L4 software router. I write Rust by preference now, but I've shipped a lot of C and C++ down at the layer where you have to care about NUMA, syscalls, and where every packet goes.

Hello! I'm a recent graduate from the University of Washington (Dec 2025). I love getting into the gritty details of solving problems, and so enjoy systems programming the most, but I'm open to (almost) any opportunity. For a little more about me: https://blog.kartoffelsaft.dev/about
I'm looking for 20–30 hours per week of work in Linux administration and/or (web) application development. I'm good at solving problems in unconventional ways. I've developed several (web)applications - some of them quite complex - either on my own or as part of a small team. I have a strong moral compass.
Just about done finishing up a CS master's degree, and looking for opportunities starting in the late summer or fall. My background is in programming language theory (particularly logic/relational programming), so would be very happy to work with functional languages, compilers, automated reasoning, and/or formal verification. I also have a background in music (I'm a published composer!) so particularly interested in audio/music-related stuff as well. Open both to software enginering roles and research positions (anyone looking for new PhD/doctoral students?) I've also done full-stack work across databases/cloud infrastructure/web APIs/frontends, and independently released a commercial music production plugin (Pivotuner, more info on my website).
I'm a Product Engineer and a creative based in London. I’ve built full-stack applications across web, mobile, blockchain and embedded platforms. My client-side work includes React, Electron, Roku’s Scenegraph, and native iOS development with Swift and SwiftUI, always with a strong focus on UX and design-first thinking. On the service-side, I’ve worked with traditional service hosting, containers, and serverless, including (but not limited to) AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, Workers, CloudFormation, SAM CLI, nodejs, bunjs, MySQL, Postgres, NoSQL, grpc, Redis, Docker, nginx, and a few legacy tools best left unnamed (yes, including CodeIgniter and ftp).
I’ve also developed developer tools like CLIs and SDKs, primarily Typescript/JavaScript land, and have written code in systems languages such as Rust and Zig.
I care about clean code, great UX, developer experience, documentation, rapid iteration and automating workflows with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Bash scripts, etc).
Also familiar with modern development practices by leveraging coding agents, such as pi, opencode, claude and LLM, including kimi over fireworks inference.
I'm a full-stack product engineer with experience building end-to-end features for products across different technologies. I value fundamentals and I'm used to working with a diverse set of technologies and view frameworks as tools that can be learnt on the go. I’m comfortable with remote collaboration with international teams.
Full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience in decentralized and distributed systems and the Ethereum ecosystem. Looking for a full-stack or back-end engineering role in distributed systems, preferably working with Go and TypeScript/JavaScript although I'm open to learning about new languages and platforms.

Parallel-compute architect — I design the accelerators and write the code that runs on them.
Independent hardware/software contractor specializing in parallel compute — either side of it. Designing and verifying out-of-order SIMT cores, ALUs, coherent caches, and interconnect; or writing GPU compute and parallel algorithms that run on them.
Background: early engineer at Falanx Microsystems on the original Mali GPU (acquired by ARM, 2006). Co-founder and architect at Swarm64 — FPGA database accelerator (acquired by ServiceNow, 2021). Five patents in graphics and parallel acceleration. Demoscene roots (1st place NVScene; Scene.org Awards and nominations).
Open to short consulting engagements through extended contract work. Areas of interest: AI/accelerator architecture, RTL and verification for custom silicon or FPGA, GPU compute.
I've mostly been a first or founding engineer, owning and evolving end-to-end systems in fast-moving environments. I focus on high-throughput pipelines, messaging platforms, media processing, recommendation engines, and real-time infrastructure.
I also build real-time dashboards and browser-based tooling to observe, debug, and control these distributed systems, using local-first storage and media processing as well as real-time communication workflows. I design systems that remain understandable and resilient under load, retries, and partial failures.
Recent work:
- Built a messaging system delivering millions of emails and push notifications in minutes (retries, deliverability, observability)
- Deployed real-time pipelines and recommendation systems for tens of millions of users
- Launched a browser-based video editing and encoding platform using FFmpeg, Supabase, and AWS serverless
- Scaled event ingestion 100x to power analytics, experimentation, and targeting
I do my best work in small, product-focused teams where engineers stay close to production, communicate early about risks and tradeoffs, and work directly with customers to solve concrete problems.
Currently interested in full-time, part-time, or contract:
- Forward deployed engineering
- Founding or early engineering
- Platform and systems engineering
- Data engineering
Pragmatic about LLMs: effective for exploration, debugging, documentation, and tightly scoped implementation work when paired with strong engineering judgment and rigid testing.
Senior Backend Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building and maintaining scalable backend systems and product-focused applications. Over the last 4 years, I’ve worked in fast-moving startup environments, handling everything from feature development to production issues, realtime systems, and scaling challenges. I enjoy ownership, solving complex backend problems, and building reliable software that users interact with daily. Open to remote B2B opportunities, especially backend or full-stack roles.
If you need to declutter your app, simplify the flows, or just make it look better, I'm your man. And I can code everything I draw, so there's no haggling between design and development :-) Avid prototyper, and I ship my own small products + some OSS — https://github.com/josefrichter.
Past: Enaia, Medable, T-Mobile, Vodafone — 764 PRs in my current role, so "I build" is real.
Focus on AI-integrated software product design, design systems and design-to-code workflows. Currently designing Jiwambe's customer-facing fintech product end-to-end and building a parenting app (Village) with my partner.
The fit I'm after: small teams, hands-on founders, software product surfaces (not pitch decks or marketing sites). Like to work at the systems level (eg design-to-code, interaction patterns, craft consistency).
Looking for senior product designer / design engineer roles (B2B fractional contract or full-time). $400/day or $7-8K/mo depending on engagement shape.
Also available for short, scoped build sprints. Ask more: hi@raigo.design
Technologies: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sidekiq, Solid Queue, Redis, HotWire, Stimulus, ViewComponent, Tailwind, RSpec, AWS, Linux. Some Crystal from contract work at Kagi. Claude Code daily.
Senior Ruby on Rails developer, 11+ years across fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, and startups. Open to full-time remote or contract. What I'm best at:
Performance work on existing codebases. Once optimized a set of Rails API endpoints from 90-120s down to 1-2s — measuring first, raw SQL where ActiveRecord produced bad queries, indexing, restructuring background jobs. External API integrations (5+ over my career: Google Maps, Chargebee, WhatsApp via 360dialog, SDB Groep, AFAS). Comfortable with the messy parts — retries, idempotency, webhook ordering, partial failures. Working with legacy and tests-nobody-touches. Reading before writing, refactoring without breaking things. As Tech Lead at clevergig (Dutch SaaS) for 3 years, I set up code review, bug tracking, and ownership processes for a long-lived codebase.
For fun: building a Rails app + ESP32 device that tracks power outages at my home — the device pings the API every minute, the Rails side aggregates into hours-with-power vs. without. Started during the post-2022 outages in Kyiv and kept evolving — a good way to keep Rails fresh and combine backend with a bit of hardware.
Platform / DevOps / SRE engineer with about 3 years of experience building and operating production systems in startup environments.
I work across cloud infrastructure, reliability, automation, observability, data infrastructure, and cost optimization. I have handled production infrastructure, monitoring, incident response, deployment automation, RPC/node infrastructure, benchmarking, and infrastructure migrations.
Most of my recent work has been at the intersection of platform engineering, blockchain infrastructure, data systems, and AI infrastructure. I am not limited to blockchain roles. I am also interested in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, data infrastructure, AI infrastructure, and technical operations roles.
Best fit: early-stage or fast-moving teams that need someone who can own infrastructure, improve reliability, reduce cost, debug production issues, and build practical internal systems without needing too much hand-holding.
Me: Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience building high-traffic web applications and scalable backend systems. I've worked exclusively with US-based companies.
My blog: nabraj(dot)com
Looking for: Senior full-stack, backend, or platform engineering roles.
Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada. Open to remote US opportunities.
Senior software engineer, 20+ years building pipelines that turn real-world events into decision-useful information — industrial control and IoT (manufacturing, ~50-person autonomous teams), large-scale product-data aggregation (5-7M products, multi-source), regulatory documents (1.5M+ documents, ~4,000 sources).
Same pattern across domains: acquire from whatever sensing the world provides, curate, structure for processing, find correlations across heterogeneous sources.
Working with neural nets through multiple AI cycles (neuroevolution and genetic programming, deep learning, now LLMs) — perspective on what survives the hype.
Currently: regulatory forecasting for Polish law, ~30K-document scale, autonomous overnight sweeps. The hard problems are turning messy real-world streams into decision-ready information, at scale, under uncertainty.
I write about where AI coding agents actually work and where they quietly fail — walat.eu/series/ai-agents-in-practice/
Best fit when the work is engineering-shaped — application/data rather than infra/SRE/Kubernetes-heavy — and the schedule overlaps EU hours.
Comfortable as autonomous IC or small-team tech lead. Domains where messy real-world data meets non-trivial reasoning are where I'm sharpest — industrial, regulatory, scientific.
I build production AI systems — agent runtimes, LLM tooling, RAG — and the backends behind them, in Rust where reliability matters and Python/TypeScript to move fast with a team. Most recently I wrote the core of Ward in Rust myself (agent runtime, analytics layer, multi-tenant audit/security model); it runs in a paid POC against a $400M, 850-store retailer's live SAP data. Before that I co-founded a YC W24 startup, took a Meta Marketplace product from zero to ~10k monthly transactions, and re-platformed a failing commerce backend to Rust that cut its AWS bill ~70%. ~10 years across fintech, healthtech, and commerce.
Heya, I am frontend developer with 4+ years of experience working with React, Next.js and much more. I have written some blogs about things I built.
I am always up for learning new things and applying it, So if you are looking for someone who can be in your niche tech or something challenging,Then I am your guy.
Other than that, I love movies and books, mainly stories, world building, fantasy, so if you are working on anything like that, I am hugely interested.

A full-stack senior engineer who owns every layer solo, web and mobile front-ends, backend services, and the AI integration between them. Most teams hire three people for that; I do all of it, and drop into an existing codebase without breaking it.
8 years architecting enterprise-scale full-stack systems in .NET, Azure, and SQL Server. I've integrated agentic-AI tooling and AI document-drafting pipelines into production applications, architected a real-time manufacturing-analytics platform, led small teams of engineers, and built a 6-app suite serving 25k+ users.
Best fits: AI features added to an existing SaaS, full-stack feature build on a small team, React Native app rescue/rewrite, or .NET legacy modernization.
Two-time founding engineer. Currently the first engineering hire at N86, building the platform 0→1 with the founding team. Previously founding engineer / frontend lead at mfg.parts, where I built a real-time collaborative 3D CAD viewer (React + Autodesk Platform Services + PubSub) and ran user research with 110+ users across 40+ companies. Also did a full-stack stint at Acadium, shipping an internal sales dashboard that cut response time 40%+.
I'm a frontend-heavy full-stack engineer who closes the design-to-code loop solo. Comfortable with ambiguity, real-time collaborative interfaces, and agentic workflows as a daily working mode.
If you want an eager engineer who thrives in early-stage chaos, reach out! I'm also open to contributing on a contract, internship, or volunteer basis for young startups — in exchange for experience, equity, or a mix. Happy to chat.
For one year I reverse-engineered the major education platforms — Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Nearpod, Kahoot, ect. — so that AI agents can drive them on a teacher's behalf and automate classroom workflows. The work runs in over 10,000 classrooms today.
Building agents against production code you don't control is harder than it sounds. The code is mangled, so first you have to understand how the app was built and then take it apart from the outside. It's reverse engineering, but it depends on knowing how to build the thing in the first place.
The role came with monthly compliance and security training centered on FERPA, so I'm fluent in handling student data responsibly. That's not new ground for me. I spent five years building on Drupal, which the most prestigious learning institutions still run today, and version control and access control were the hard part of every project. Student data is the same problem.
I've been building browser agents and browser automation since 2018, well before it was a category. That's paired with 13 years of building dynamic, data-heavy UIs for web and mobile.
I've also built admin dashboards for a custom legal document management system. And a CRM for email marketing, with a drag-and-drop interface for designing and branding email templates for social campaigns. I've taken several companies from 0 to 1, as a consultant and as a full-time employee, across fintech, streaming, real estate, education, marketing, and media. I've worked at a 130-person AI company and on a 7-person team where I wore every hat. I do my best work on small, fast-moving teams.
Full-stack AI/product engineer with production experience building document automation and LLM-backed workflows end to end: user-facing product surfaces, Postgres data models, RAG/document-intelligence pipelines, OCR fallback, structured extraction, and workflow integrations. Strong fit for AI product engineering, document AI, automation, founding engineer, and contractor/fractional builds.

I like building systems end-to-end: protocol and product code, backend platforms, infrastructure, internal tools, and product-facing surfaces. Several times I was either an initial or an early hire in small and large-scale projects and products.
For the last two years, I was a founding engineer at Load Network, an early-stage L1 EVM chain with Arweave-based data settlement. I worked across the stack: developed protocol-level abstractions, consensus and execution clients, bootstrapped infrastructure, DevOps, and smart-contract prototypes. I also built private AI agent harnesses, ran multi-agent tests, and used LLMs for spec review and cross-client protocol design research and data gathering.
Before that, I spent six years in gamedev building backend platforms for massive-scale games at Strikerz/UFL (uflgame.com) and Vizor Games. I was an early hire, working directly with the CTO to build the infrastructure and design the system from the ground up. I engineered microservices for matchmaking, game economy/payments, quests, auth, moderation, and data pipelines (Kafka, Postgres, ClickHouse). I also managed Kubernetes, observability, internal admin tooling in Python/JS, and took part in high-stakes production launches.
I built my engineering foundation in enterprise Business Intelligence and Data Architecture. I shipped large-scale data warehouses (OLAP) for global companies (pharma, logistics), writing heavily optimized Oracle PL/SQL and T-SQL.
Open source: Merged contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem, including the Reth client in Rust, Flashbots SUAVE, and Alloy.
These days, I'm spending more time on product-facing surfaces (React, Rails), exploring Zig, and using LLMs for the right dose of entropy and speed.
Looking for: founding engineer, senior/staff software engineer, full-stack or backend roles where broad ownership and technical depth matter.
I am building react native apps for marketplaces. Happy to help with your marketplace or work as a subcontractor for established agencies. I am a senior frontend dev with 6 years of experience.
We can structure a deal in a way that gives you a guarantee of a job well done, so that the partnership is risk-free for you.
Ex-Silicon Valley engineer at junior-engineer cost. FAANG, YC, and OCV startup experience. Senior engineer by choice — IC track, no management ladder, working remote from the EU.
First task free, no invoice. Pick something off your backlog. I ship it. You decide.
No commitment after that. Contract, monthly invoice. Cancel anytime.
Free brainstorm calls — even if you never hire me. 30 min, no pitch.
I'm happy at my current job with the Hakai Institute, but programs are shrinking and it's looking like days are numbered. I'd love to connect with people doing interesting things.
Lately I'm in the spaces between data science and engineering reliable, high-performance, resilient, yet highly-usable tools for scientists and other developers, across the stack. It's a lot of fun.
Some recent projects:
- Performance tuning and infrastructure cost-reductions on https://oceanconnect.ca. It's faster and cheaper to run than ever. Costs are essentially cut in half, and performance across hot paths, on average, is about 30% better. There's now comprehensive observability across the stack, making it so we can rapidly diagnose issues with complex model processing pipelines and data acquisition systems. On top of that, the error rate has dropped dramatically despite increased visibility into what's going wrong (a lot of issues were silently swallowed by OOM culling in Lambda, for example). Also, I managed to reduce the storage footprint of the database by around 80% by more aggressively pruning obsolete data (especially raster tiles), tightening the sliding window around useful and aged-out data. This was done in part by partitioning data better so we could free it sooner without worrying about dead tuples and autovacuum. It's tighter, cleaner, faster, and cheaper to back up.
- Developing a low-cost solution to autonomously regulate temperatures in 40 saltwater tanks in a remote lab, using equipment which doesn't support remote controls. Using digital potentiometers inserted into each temperature controller, the system spoofs the tank's temperature to trigger heating or cooling, then observes until the correct temperature is reached. It uses several dissimilar redundancies, including a dead man's switch, to ensure there can't be run-away heating or cooling loops. The cost for new hardware with remote control capability came in close to $100K, but this solution (along with supporting software for designing temperature profile time series, monitoring tanks, and viewing historical data) is under $15K, yet required much of the same supporting software work. It's fully compatible with future hardware supporting direct remote control, as well; we'd only need to remove the temperature-spoofing loop and send set points to the units instead.
- A library for analyzing biodiversity datasets, inferring semantics about their data, and then creating a declarative configuration which can be used to transform the data to Darwin Core and validate it. It has a core library that can be used in any kind of client, like a CLI, web API, or a GUI. The declarative configuration makes it so datasets can be worked on in GitHub, then the CLI can run in a workflow to ensure it's still valid as it changes and grows. It uses DuckDB to make assertions about primitive types and data/relational integrity, then uses the application layer to make semantic assertions according to the specification's requirements. The entire workflow is highly supportive to scientists, explaining any issues with the data in very plain terms from start to finish. This has made it so scientists can make old records conform to the standard and have it ready for publishing far faster and with higher confidence than ever. At the same time, it also serves the purpose of helping scientists understand a large, complex standard one field at a time as they work through issues, rather than forcing them to tackle the entire standard from the outset. Ideally, this will lead to them working with the standard earlier and more often, with better knowledge and intuition for how to do so. It's built using Deno, Effect, Qwen 3.5 (for initial semantic inference passes), and DuckDB.
I'm also interested in LLM harness development and creating more deterministic agents with safety and behaviour guarantees.
My work experience is diverse, ranging from SaaS to science to a bit of firmware and robots. I'm interested in just about anything so long as it's genuinely useful, challenging, and the team is excited.

Hi, I’m Fabrizio Milo, a senior AI/ML engineer, large-scale systems architect, and former technical co-founder. I’ve spent my career building production AI, ML infrastructure, and high-scale backend systems across startups and growth-stage companies.
Most recently, I’ve been building AI platforms for LLM training and fine-tuning, RAG databases, local and remote LLM inference, semantic retrieval, and agentic orchestration for business intelligence and code generation. I’ve also contributed to open source ML projects including GPT-Neo, TensorFlow and published research on synthetic data from LLMs.
Previously, I was VP of Technology at ZELIG, where I led the virtual try-on AI research roadmap and managed a cross-functional team building ML/3D systems for fashion retail. Before that, I was Head of Machine Learning Engineering at Recurrency, where I hired and led a 6-person ML/platform team and shipped demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, and recommendation systems on AWS/Snowflake/SageMaker. I also co-founded Passio, where I built the technical foundation for an on-device Nutrition-AI SDK with real-time computer vision inference.
Earlier in my career, I built scalable systems at TheRealReal and Scopely, optimized CUDA kernels at NVIDIA, and worked on real-time market-data and high-performance systems. I’m strongest where AI research, production engineering, and startup execution meet: taking ambiguous technical/product goals and turning them into shipped systems, teams, and infrastructure.
I can architect and build anything you need given enough compute and time.

I’m Ngô Phú Thịnh, a software engineer based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, looking for remote roles in AI, automation, web development, or product engineering.
I’m especially interested in building practical AI-powered tools, automation systems, internal tools, data workflows, web apps, and products that combine software engineering with applied AI. I have experience developing web and mobile applications, designing system architectures, maintaining data pipelines, and building e-commerce platforms, landing pages, and data-analysis algorithms for startups.
My background is a mix of software engineering, data science, and research. I graduated from the University of Science, VNU-HCM with a Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Computer Science, specializing in Data Science, and I’m currently pursuing an MBA at UEH. I’ve also published research on legal information retrieval, AI for Vietnamese labor law, and human-in-the-loop annotation.
Some areas I’d be excited to work on: - AI automation / workflow automation - AI agents, LLM integrations, RAG, search, and retrieval systems - Web apps, dashboards, internal tools, and SaaS products - Data pipelines, scraping, analysis, and automation - Legal-tech, edtech, productivity tools, or developer tools - Frontend, full-stack, or product-focused engineering
I’m adaptable, curious, comfortable learning quickly, and happy to work across the stack from research/prototyping to production implementation.
- In my current role, I've worked on a wide range of projects including backend systems, mobile applications, data pipelines and predictive modeling, and many production applications built around Ethereum.
- For the past two years I've also been doing ML research focused on mechanistic interpretability and LLM evaluations.
- Open to general SWE, ML/AI engineering, or anything in between. Full-time or contract both work for me. My contact info is on the resume site.

Hi, I'm Alex Stout, a full-stack software engineer who's combined their mastery of the fundamentals with AI development experience. Earlier this year I helped launch version 1.0 of the TypeScript-based Mastra AI framework, e.g. I built a native Datadog LLM trace exporter. More recently, I’ve been conducting small-scale agentic AI systems research, and integrating AI capabilities (like building an MCP) into an GovQL, an open source project using GraphQL to query federal government data. I also have non-AI greenfield experience, e.g. last year I co-created Unilogs, a highly scalable log observability platform featuring a condensed one-step deployment to AWS (read more about it in the case study I wrote here: https://unilogs.github.io/).

I’m Naman, looking for GTM Engineering, Growth Engineering, GTM Systems, RevOps, Founder’s Associate, Sales Engineering, Product Manager or related roles at early stage startups.
I’ve spent the past few years working close to founders on GTM, partnerships, community, events, and early distribution. At Rally Tax (YCW23), I helped build outbound and partnership motions. At Koinz Capital, I helped source early stage startup dealflow across AI, healthtech, SaaS, consumer, fintech, student founder networks, and startup events.
Best fit: early stage teams that need someone who can build GTM systems, run outbound, clean data, automate workflows, talk to users, and move fast without much structure.

I build AI agent infrastructure. Most recently: Tracea (tracea.dev), an open-source observability platform for AI agent teams that patches the HTTP transport layer to trace LLM calls without any framework changes — no SDK wrappers, no code changes, just install and instrument. Also built ObservAgent (1000+ active users, open source).
Research side: co-authored a paper on failure-aware penetration testing - training LLMs to emit typed failure tokens so failure recognition becomes a structured recovery signal rather than an implicit state.
Prior: full-stack engineer shipping software to 50k+ users.
Looking for full-stack or AI/ML engineering roles at early-stage or growth-stage companies working on production AI systems - LLM integration, agent infrastructure, or observability. High ownership, real users, hard problems.

What I do: I build agentic systems and full-stack infrastructure — things that ship, observe themselves, and run autonomously.
Recent work:
- Founding contributor at NimbleBrain: designed the agentic loop and workflow engine that guides AI agents through building and publishing MCP server integrations end-to-end
- Co-created Vispyr: self-hosted observability platform on AWS with automated infra provisioning, OTel instrumentation, and a full Grafana telemetry stack
- Mozilla Firefox contributor: accessibility and DevTools CSS refactors
Stack I reach for: Python, TypeScript, AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL, Grafana stack, OpenTelemetry, MCP
AI-native: I build with Claude Code daily. Comfortable across the agentic toolchain — RAG, vector DBs, MCP, context engineering.

24 years in infrastructure, currently Lead Platform Engineer at a security AI startup where I built the platform team from scratch (0 to 5 engineers) and architected multi-tenant Kubernetes infrastructure across 40+ clusters with per-tenant KMS encryption and Argo-based progressive delivery.
Before that, spent nearly 6 years as Staff SRE at Iterable where most of my work centered on making infrastructure cheaper and more reliable. Replaced ELK with Quickwit for 65TB/day log ingestion (saved $1.2M/year), migrated Lambda pipelines to Vector ($60k/mo down to $8k/mo), and stood up VictoriaMetrics to replace Datadog for 33M metrics ($30k/mo savings). I tend to find the project that saves the most money and then actually build it.
I write Go -- built Kubernetes operators for RabbitMQ, Redis, and Vector (open source: github.com/zcentric/vector-operator). Terraform is my IaC of choice and I've used it everywhere from a global Predix platform (Japan, EU regions) to scaling Kubernetes clusters from 10 to 300 nodes on spot instances for satellite image processing at Urthecast.
I've managed teams at three companies (up to 6 engineers) and served as product owner for SRE groups, but I'm open to both IC and management roles at the Staff/Principal/Director level.

Latest thing: a 6-layer BGA STM32H7 board that runs Lua and JavaScript on the MCU, with a browser-based editor. The firmware also compiles to WebAssembly, so the editor doubles as a simulator. Before that, mostly avionics and motor control.
Looking for embedded/firmware work, hardware bring-up, anything STM32 related.
~20 years of development experience. Author of many somewhat successful free software projects like Searx, and Go-Colly.

15 years as a full-stack AI engineer, including onsite engineering and team leadership for US enterprises ADP and Time Warner Cable. I ship agentic AI products in 2 to 3 weeks, not months.
What I build:
-> Multi-agent systems with LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, and AutoGen. Tool use, handoffs, planning loops, and guardrails that hold up past the demo.
-> Production RAG pipelines with pgvector, reranking, and evaluation. Not just a notebook.
-> AI-integrated full-stack apps on Next.js, Supabase, and Stripe. From MVP to scale.
Best fit: founders building agentic AI products who need senior engineering judgment, not just code. I have led and mentored engineering teams, so I can own architecture decisions and bring the rest of your team up to speed.
Open to fixed-bid projects, ongoing contract work, or fractional technical lead engagements. Competitive rates for the quality delivered.

I've mostly been a first or founding engineer, owning and evolving end-to-end systems in fast-moving environments. I focus on high-throughput pipelines, messaging platforms, media processing, recommendation engines, and real-time infrastructure.
I also build real-time dashboards and browser-based tooling to observe, debug, and control these distributed systems, using local-first storage and media processing as well as real-time communication workflows. I design systems that remain understandable and resilient under load, retries, and partial failures.
Recent work:
- Built a messaging system delivering millions of emails and push notifications in minutes (retries, deliverability, observability)
- Deployed real-time pipelines and recommendation systems for tens of millions of users
- Launched a browser-based video editing and encoding platform using FFmpeg, Supabase, and AWS serverless
- Scaled event ingestion 100x to power analytics, experimentation, and targeting
I do my best work in small, product-focused teams where engineers stay close to production, communicate early about risks and tradeoffs, and work directly with customers to solve concrete problems.
Currently interested in full-time, part-time, or contract:
- Forward deployed engineering
- Founding or early engineering
- Platform and systems engineering
- Data engineering
Pragmatic about LLMs: effective for exploration, debugging, documentation, and tightly scoped implementation work when paired with strong engineering judgment and rigid testing.

Senior Ruby on Rails developer, 11+ years across fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, and startups. Open to full-time remote or contract. What I'm best at: Performance work on existing codebases. Once optimized a set of Rails API endpoints from 90-120s down to 1-2s — measuring first, raw SQL where ActiveRecord produced bad queries, indexing, restructuring background jobs. External API integrations (5+ over my career: Google Maps, Chargebee, WhatsApp via 360dialog, SDB Groep, AFAS). Comfortable with the messy parts — retries, idempotency, webhook ordering, partial failures. Working with legacy and tests-nobody-touches. Reading before writing, refactoring without breaking things. As Tech Lead at clevergig (Dutch SaaS) for 3 years, I set up code review, bug tracking, and ownership processes for a long-lived codebase.
Recent stops: FactCTO (fintech), Rail Europe, Fitjourney.ai, Kagi (Crystal backend), clevergig (Tech Lead).
For fun: building a Rails app + ESP32 device that tracks power outages at my home — the device pings the API every minute, the Rails side aggregates into hours-with-power vs. without. Started during the post-2022 outages in Kyiv and kept evolving — a good way to keep Rails fresh and combine backend with a bit of hardware.

Résumé: https://walat.eu | linkedin.com/in/dariusz-walat
Email: dariusz@walat.eu
Senior software engineer, 20+ years building pipelines that turn real-world events into decision-useful information — industrial control and IoT (manufacturing, ~50-person autonomous teams), large-scale product-data aggregation (5-7M products, multi-source), regulatory documents (1.5M+ documents, ~4,000 sources).
Same pattern across domains: acquire from whatever sensing the world provides, curate, structure for processing, find correlations across heterogeneous sources.
Working with neural nets through multiple AI cycles (neuroevolution and genetic programming, deep learning, now LLMs) — perspective on what survives the hype.
Currently: regulatory forecasting for Polish law, ~30K-document scale, autonomous overnight sweeps. The hard problems are turning messy real-world streams into decision-ready information, at scale, under uncertainty.
I write about where AI coding agents actually work and where they quietly fail — walat.eu/series/ai-agents-in-practice/
Best fit when the work is engineering-shaped — application/data rather than infra/SRE/Kubernetes-heavy — and the schedule overlaps EU hours.
Comfortable as autonomous IC or small-team tech lead. Domains where messy real-world data meets non-trivial reasoning are where I'm sharpest — industrial, regulatory, scientific.

I build production AI systems — agent runtimes, LLM tooling, RAG — and the backends behind them, in Rust where reliability matters and Python/TypeScript to move fast with a team. Most recently I wrote the core of Ward in Rust myself (agent runtime, analytics layer, multi-tenant audit/security model); it runs in a paid POC against a $400M, 850-store retailer's live SAP data. Before that I co-founded a YC W24 startup, took a Meta Marketplace product from zero to ~10k monthly transactions, and re-platformed a failing commerce backend to Rust that cut its AWS bill ~70%. ~10 years across fintech, healthtech, and commerce.

Two-time founding engineer. Currently the first engineering hire at N86, building the platform 0→1 with the founding team. Previously founding engineer / frontend lead at mfg.parts, where I built a real-time collaborative 3D CAD viewer (React + Autodesk Platform Services + PubSub) and ran user research with 110+ users across 40+ companies. Also did a full-stack stint at Acadium, shipping an internal sales dashboard that cut response time 40%+.
I'm a frontend-heavy full-stack engineer who closes the design-to-code loop solo. Comfortable with ambiguity, real-time collaborative interfaces, and agentic workflows as a daily working mode.
If you want an eager engineer who thrives in early-stage chaos, reach out! I'm also open to contributing on a contract, internship, or volunteer basis for young startups — in exchange for experience, equity, or a mix. Happy to chat.

For one year I reverse-engineered the major education platforms — Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Nearpod, Kahoot, ect. — so that AI agents can drive them on a teacher's behalf and automate classroom workflows. The work runs in over 10,000 classrooms today.
Building agents against production code you don't control is harder than it sounds. The code is mangled, so first you have to understand how the app was built and then take it apart from the outside. It's reverse engineering, but it depends on knowing how to build the thing in the first place.
The role came with monthly compliance and security training centered on FERPA, so I'm fluent in handling student data responsibly. That's not new ground for me. I spent five years building on Drupal, which the most prestigious learning institutions still run today, and version control and access control were the hard part of every project. Student data is the same problem.
I've been building browser agents and browser automation since 2018, well before it was a category. That's paired with 13 years of building dynamic, data-heavy UIs for web and mobile.
I've also built admin dashboards for a custom legal document management system. And a CRM for email marketing, with a drag-and-drop interface for designing and branding email templates for social campaigns. I've taken several companies from 0 to 1, as a consultant and as a full-time employee, across fintech, streaming, real estate, education, marketing, and media. I've worked at a 130-person AI company and on a 7-person team where I wore every hat. I do my best work on small, fast-moving teams.

I’m a senior generalist engineer with founding-style ownership. I like building systems end-to-end: protocol and product code, backend platforms, infrastructure, internal tools, and product-facing surfaces. Several times I was either an initial or an early hire in small and large-scale projects and products.
For the last two years, I was a founding engineer at Load Network, an early-stage L1 EVM chain with Arweave-based data settlement. I worked across the stack: developed protocol-level abstractions, consensus and execution clients, bootstrapped infrastructure, DevOps, and smart-contract prototypes. I also built private AI agent harnesses, ran multi-agent tests, and used LLMs for spec review and cross-client protocol design research and data gathering.
Before that, I spent six years in gamedev building backend platforms for massive-scale games at Strikerz/UFL (uflgame.com) and Vizor Games. I was an early hire, working directly with the CTO to build the infrastructure and design the system from the ground up. I engineered microservices for matchmaking, game economy/payments, quests, auth, moderation, and data pipelines (Kafka, Postgres, ClickHouse). I also managed Kubernetes, observability, internal admin tooling in Python/JS, and took part in high-stakes production launches.
I built my engineering foundation in enterprise Business Intelligence and Data Architecture. I shipped large-scale data warehouses (OLAP) for global companies (pharma, logistics), writing heavily optimized Oracle PL/SQL and T-SQL.
Open source: Merged contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem, including the Reth client in Rust, Flashbots SUAVE, and Alloy.
These days, I'm spending more time on product-facing surfaces (React, Rails), exploring Zig, and using LLMs for the right dose of entropy and speed.
Looking for: founding engineer, senior/staff software engineer, full-stack or backend roles where broad ownership and technical depth matter.

Lately I'm in the spaces between data science and engineering reliable, high-performance, resilient, yet highly-usable tools for scientists and other developers, across the stack. It's a lot of fun.
Some recent projects:
- Performance tuning and infrastructure cost-reductions on https://oceanconnect.ca. It's faster and cheaper to run than ever. Costs are essentially cut in half, and performance across hot paths, on average, is about 30% better. There's now comprehensive observability across the stack, making it so we can rapidly diagnose issues with complex model processing pipelines and data acquisition systems. On top of that, the error rate has dropped dramatically despite increased visibility into what's going wrong (a lot of issues were silently swallowed by OOM culling in Lambda, for example). Also, I managed to reduce the storage footprint of the database by around 80% by more aggressively pruning obsolete data (especially raster tiles), tightening the sliding window around useful and aged-out data. This was done in part by partitioning data better so we could free it sooner without worrying about dead tuples and autovacuum. It's tighter, cleaner, faster, and cheaper to back up.
- Developing a low-cost solution to autonomously regulate temperatures in 40 saltwater tanks in a remote lab, using equipment which doesn't support remote controls. Using digital potentiometers inserted into each temperature controller, the system spoofs the tank's temperature to trigger heating or cooling, then observes until the correct temperature is reached. It uses several dissimilar redundancies, including a dead man's switch, to ensure there can't be run-away heating or cooling loops. The cost for new hardware with remote control capability came in close to $100K, but this solution (along with supporting software for designing temperature profile time series, monitoring tanks, and viewing historical data) is under $15K, yet required much of the same supporting software work. It's fully compatible with future hardware supporting direct remote control, as well; we'd only need to remove the temperature-spoofing loop and send set points to the units instead.
- A library for analyzing biodiversity datasets, inferring semantics about their data, and then creating a declarative configuration which can be used to transform the data to Darwin Core and validate it. It has a core library that can be used in any kind of client, like a CLI, web API, or a GUI. The declarative configuration makes it so datasets can be worked on in GitHub, then the CLI can run in a workflow to ensure it's still valid as it changes and grows. It uses DuckDB to make assertions about primitive types and data/relational integrity, then uses the application layer to make semantic assertions according to the specification's requirements. The entire workflow is highly supportive to scientists, explaining any issues with the data in very plain terms from start to finish. This has made it so scientists can make old records conform to the standard and have it ready for publishing far faster and with higher confidence than ever. At the same time, it also serves the purpose of helping scientists understand a large, complex standard one field at a time as they work through issues, rather than forcing them to tackle the entire standard from the outset. Ideally, this will lead to them working with the standard earlier and more often, with better knowledge and intuition for how to do so. It's built using Deno, Effect, Qwen 3.5 (for initial semantic inference passes), and DuckDB.
I'm also interested in LLM harness development and creating more deterministic agents with safety and behaviour guarantees.
My work experience is diverse, ranging from SaaS to science to a bit of firmware and robots. I'm interested in just about anything so long as it's genuinely useful, challenging, and the team is excited.
