About Me:
Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience, including 5 years as an SWE-SRE at Google (F1 and Cloud Filestore), core protocol engineering at Near One (working for a bit off-chain and for a year on the protocol), and full-stack frontend-heavy software engineering at Tulip. I am looking for a Individual Contributor (IC) role in full-time, part-time, or contract capacity fully aligned with European or Asian time zones. Optimizing for stable backend/infrastructure engineering or asynchronous remote teams with an execution-focused engineering culture.
Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred
Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)
Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB
Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)
I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.
Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.
Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty. :v
I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Figma, design systems, information architecture, accessibility (WCAG), user research and synthesis; popular front-end frameworks such as React and Angular, plus Node.js, Tailwind CSS, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Vercel, and Claude Code for AI-assisted frontend prototyping

Outcome-driven product designer with 10+ years across regulated industries and complex, data-dense systems. My work spans fintech and multiple Fortune 500 platforms in media, beverage, and semiconductor, from consumer-facing flows to internal operational tooling.
I'm someone who enjoys building fast, reliable systems and solving complex technical problems. Over the past year, I've worked on everything from ultra-low-latency trading engines in C++ and Rust to building a high-performance CPU emulator from the ground up. I’ve had the chance to work with lead backend developers at startups, optimize systems for scale. I’m comfortable working across the stack, whether that’s building APIs with Express.js and TypeScript or diving deep into Kafka pipelines and distributed architectures. I care about writing clean, maintainable code, and I’m always up for learning something new or tackling tough challenges with a team.
Remote: Yes. Experienced with US / UK clients; open to timezone overlap.
Willing to relocate: No, occasional travel OK.
Technologies: Data engineering, backend architecture, event-driven systems, low-latency pipelines, analytics infrastructure, product engineering, Node.js, ClickHouse, DuckDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, SQLite, Vue, Tailwind

Hands-on CTO / principal engineer with 20+ years in software engineering. Technical co-founder, CTO/CPO, architect, fractional product owner, and engineering lead.
I work best at the intersection of architecture and implementation: designing data-heavy systems well, then staying close enough to the engineering to keep latency, operability, failure modes, and tradeoffs grounded in reality.
Selected work: fractional lead/architect for ground-up KPI platform rewrite; 5-person FTE team; company later exited for €10M. CTO/CPO for crypto/data product; live matching of 1M+ complex dynamic slices against continuous on-chain/off-chain metric streams; high-throughput, near-real-time latency suitable for trading workflows. ClickHouse-backed worker pipelines processing billions of rows/day while preserving near-real-time downstream availability.
Looking for freelance, contract, fractional CTO, principal engineer, technical lead, or data engineering work.
Best fit: backend-heavy products, analytics/data infrastructure, complex internal tools, low-latency pipelines, or early-stage teams that need one senior person with both breadth and depth.
SEEKING FREELANCE/CONTRACT WORK — I build production software for founders and growing teams. Full-stack engineering across Rails, Vue, and React, with AI-augmented workflows. 25 years of shipping, leading teams, and owning technical direction.
I spent a decade as CTO at EMEX, growing the engineering team from scratch through private equity acquisition. Today I operate through Brightform Technology, working with founders who need senior-level engineering without a full-time hire. The kind of problems where product sense and architectural judgment matter as much as code output.
Past work:
* Led all frontend architecture for an IoT platform processing high-volume sensor data across nationwide deployments. Built real-time building floorplan visualization, time-series HVAC dashboards, and a modular device configuration system.
* First engineering hire → CTO at EMEX. Built the flagship real-time reverse auction platform that drove seven-figure annual sales. Grew and led a team of 6 through acquisition.
Best fit: founders with a clear idea and the budget to move fast. You might have Figma mockups, a vibe-coded prototype, or just a well-defined concept. I bring product direction alongside the engineering.
Remote: Yes. 12+ yrs, comfortable fully async across US/EU hours
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Rust, Python, Go · LLM/agent systems, multi-agent orchestration, LLM eval · browser automation + anti-detection (CDP) · data pipelines · dev tooling
Senior engineer & founder, 12+ years. Last ~2 years deep on Rust + LLM agents:
- Built a Rust CDP / browser-automation driver from scratch (anti-detection, agentic pipelines).
- Multi-agent orchestration + an LLM judge/eval layer - claim-level extraction and verification against ground truth for my own AI SaaS.
- Built AI harness orchestrating different agents in their own native harnesses (agent-to-agent comms, clean room reviews, sandboxing)
- Wrote an architectural linter enforcing pure/effectful separation in large Rust codebases.
Before founding: Software Engineering Team Lead on high-throughput messaging infrastructure. Earlier: national-scale public data platforms (company registry, procurement monitoring, government transparency).
Strongest at taking an ambiguous problem to a shipped system solo, hard systems work in Rust, and LLM evaluation/verification/orchestration. Most interested in agent infrastructure, dev tooling, LLM eval, and automation.
Open to: senior/staff IC or founding-engineer roles, or focused AI contract work.
