20+ yoe as dev/IC. 10+ yoe in managerial and executive roles. Multiple great exits and acquisitions. I have recently built a software NGO with over half a million supporters and over a thousand active volunteers and major political and media networking. I have built tech for Tezos, Oracle, Shell, Digitas, Saatchi & Saatchi, Time Warner, Sparkasse, Bank of America.
If there's a problem related to tech, I can solve it, and build a team or company around it. Available for work as dev/IC, EM, Director, or CTO, with experience in each. Full-solution MVP development from scratch. Performance optimization and modernization of older systems. DSL and programming language design, compilers. Let me know if you're looking for experience that isn't below! HN posts are short. CV upon request.
If you think I might be able to help you, shoot me an email: damian.jobsites+hn@gmail.com

Hi, I'm Harry Altman! I was the maintainer of Truffle Debugger (https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/tree/develop/package...), a Solidity smart contract debugger, for 5 years. I eventually ended up writing my own decoding and encoding libraries to support it, as well as a bunch of other things.
I'm good at this sort of nitpicky work, spotting and thinking about edge cases. I like getting things exactly right, even though that obviously isn't always possible due to various constraints. I've been kind of wondering if I should get into embedded development; I find it appealing when things are low-level or similarly constrained. I've beaten Microcorruption. :) (The original levels, I haven't played the new ones.)
I'm also quite interested in unusual or obscure data formats, and working on Truffle Debugger and its associated libraries certainly involved a bunch of having to figure undocumented formats and interfaces. :) I put down above what languages I've worked substantially in but I'd say I'm a generalist and will figure out whatever you give me (I knew approximately no Javascript, Typescript, or Solidity when I started working at Consensys).
I'm a mathematician by background and in my spare time, so after the Truffle Debugger project was shut down I took some time off to focus on my mathematical projects. But now I'm looking for work again! If you need someone like me, I'm available for hire!

I have over 20 years in the industry starting out as a Linux SysAdmin / Network Engineer and now doing more Systems / Low level Programming, R&D, and occasional DevOps.
Looking for opportunities involving low level / embedded systems / backend software development. Happy to also do automation / SysAdmin / DevOps as well. Although not my forte, I like to do robust automated testing / QA for software to ensure they meet (potentially undocumented) requirements.

I'm a computer engineer with hands-on experience in embedded systems, cloud infrastructure and full-stack web development. Most recently, I co-founded a pharma-tech startup, where I led the development of real-time data infrastructure, visualization and analytics on a regulated cloud platform.
Selected projects:
- Autonomous drone delivery systems for last-mile food logistics
- BMC firmware for enterprise storage deployed across major data centers worldwide
- Robotics firmware powering large-scale warehouse automation
- Managed Kubernetes PaaS for automated, multi-tenant application deployment
As a former founder, I’m comfortable in roles that require both technical depth and cross-functional thinking. Let’s chat if that matches your needs.

Hi! I’m Wale, a full-stack engineer with ~8 years of experience building fast, user-friendly web (& mobile) apps. I've worked across several early-stage startups and solo projects, shipping products end to end.
Lately I’ve been especially interested in LLM/AI interoperability, building systems where language models plug into real data, actions, and workflows. But I’m open to anything smart, ambitious, and well-scoped.
If you're working on something interesting and need someone who can move fast, think clearly, and build reliably, I'd love to hear from you.
