I'm a first/founding engineer by background, and lately I've been taking on contract work that draws on that same skill set: helping teams figure out what to build and how, before committing engineering time to it. I'm comfortable owning a problem end-to-end, from initial scoping through architecture and into a working v1, and I communicate clearly about scope, risk, and tradeoffs along the way.
Good fits for contract work:
- Technical scoping and planning for a new product or platform before a team commits resources to it
- Architecture review and systems modeling, mapping out how a system should be structured, where the risk is, and what tradeoffs matter
- Greenfield builds where you need someone to plan and ship v1 without much hand-holding
- Forward-deployed engineering, embedding with your team or your customer's to take a project from spec to delivery
Recent relevant 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 work best when I can talk directly to whoever owns the problem, and I'm glad to start with a short, well-scoped first deliverable if that's an easier way to size up a fit.
Pragmatic about LLMs: effective for exploration, debugging, documentation, and tightly scoped implementation work when paired with strong engineering judgment and rigid testing.

Email: ishipachev@gmail.com
Computer Vision engineer and former Product Owner at Mosaic (geospatial imaging). Background in applied mathematics; spent 5+ years on 3D reconstruction, SfM pipelines, multi-camera calibration, and LiDAR processing. And another 4 years before as an embedded engineer processing sensor data.
I've built calibration and processing pipelines for panoramic camera systems. Delivered large-scale photogrammetry projects for VFX clients including Netflix and Apple TV — hundreds of thousands of images per reconstruction. Owned products across calibration, image processing, and LiDAR pipelines end-to-end, provided support to the clients, and was responsible for communication with other HW and FW teams, including planning and roadmap discussions.
Now independent — focused on novel 3D reconstruction methods, calibration and Gaussian Splatting. Open to co-founding / product-engineer roles or consulting on hard Computer Vision problems. Short form of project based cooperation is also doable.
In my current job-free time I'm exploring Julia, Geometric Algebra for computer vision.

Résumé/CV: https://henrygressmann.de/static/cv-henry-gressmann.pdf
Email: hn@henrygressmann.de
Portfolio: https://henrygressmann.de/work
GitHub: https://github.com/explodingcamera/
Availability: Starting October 2026
I'm a Software Engineer focused on backend systems, Rust, WebAssembly, and open-source software. Recently, I’ve been working on large-scale Rust backend infrastructure handling 80k+ req/s at AnyDesk, and building projects such as TinyWasm, a WebAssembly runtime (https://github.com/explodingcamera/tinywasm), and Liwan, an open-source, privacy-friendly, self-hosted web analytics tool (https://liwan.dev).I'm especially interested in technically challenging backend/platform roles, developer tooling, infrastructure, WebAssembly, and open-source products - ideally with strong ownership over technical decisions and product impact.
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.

Résumé/CV: Available upon request
Email: gbrits<at>gmail<dot>com
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.
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.
