Technologies: Go/Golang (preferred, most recent), Python & Java (decade+ FT each), C (decade+, once my fav, now only for money), web dev, SQL, git, Linux, Docker, cloud hosting, distributed systems, threading, performance & scalability, some ML (plain old math & queries, Bayesian models/inference, OLS regression, game actor behavior & data-driven strategy & real-time planning models, not yet modern neural nets but read about & can pickup fast when wished)
decades of programming. solid computing system fundamentals. problem solving. brainstorming. prototyping. communication. technical team lead. software architect. SRE-ish. solved hard legacy bugs & shipped over and over again. author of cheatsheet on Software Performance & Scalability. former Orbitz senior engineer on core tech (JVM, perf, ops.) Tech research, due diligence and consulting for US State Dept, to help bolster national/allied public APD defenses. Indie game engine & personal tool creator since childhood. built & ran small computer game biz years ago. Wrote, shipped & sold a zombie apocalypse sim a decade ago, directly to the public.
For a recent client I did (de facto) sys programming R&D on mem alloc latency and SEGV resilience, in C for Linux/POSIX, delivering new code, benchmarks, a diagram and a report successfully demonstrating how to upgrade the performance and uptime of their near-RT revenue-sensitive ad-bidding backend
Lately have 2 side projects:
* building a real-time Rogue-like edu/adver-game (homegrown engine in Go) about dire threats to democracy & climate
* writing a book on performance & scalability (in public view in my GitHub)
Challenge me! Give me hard problems. Or let me pioneer or bootstrap a new codebase. Treat me as a very senior and experienced, professional engineer. Use my time efficiently. Let me deliver the BIGGEST bang for the buck, for you, that I can. Life is short.
I do have a "No Jerks" rule. And I prioritize on folks who demonstrate how much they value me (not necessarily in $) -- I'll match you in return. I look for culture and personality fit early. Fan of Getting Real
