Willing to relocate: Maybe

Expert backend developer primarily focused on data engineering, mission critical/low latency/highly available systems, and AWS (certs: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8). Happy to deal with greenfield or legacy or any mix of the two. I learn new things extremely quickly.

I prefer long term contract work, though I’ll help you with smaller things as well. W2 employment is a possibility if the fit is right. Whatever you’re doing with AI is also fine by me, and I’ll lead/adapt as appropriate.

SEEKING WORK | Data scientist consultant | Canada/Remote Worldwide

Most of what people call "data science" is now doable with an LLM and a weekend. I focus on the messy, ambiguous, regulation-heavy gnarly problems where nobody is sure what the right question is. Often it involves getting hands on to find the data and signal that's really needed.

What I've done:

   - AI verification of building and architectural BIM/CAD against 400 page ESG standards. (Days of work down to minutes)
   - Part failure prediciton, saving a German automaker from lemon law recalls. ($20M+ exposure avoided)
   - Oil & gas well and lease production forecasting. 
   - Real-time emissions detection for industrial smokestacks. ($75K fines per incident prevented)
   - Revenue optimization and persona identification for debt collections (15-20% net revenue lift)
   - LLM-based legal document extraction, reducing due diligence turnaround from 3 days to 30 minutes
   - Built vessel piracy risk engine that informed naval escort deployment, contributing to fewer hijackings
Things I'm unwilling to work on:

   - Gambling.
   - Ads/Surveillance.
   - Payday loans/rent-to-own.
Email me with a short description of your problem. If it's hard enough, I'll reply within 24 hours.

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.

Hi, I am an Infrastructure Engineer looking for my next challenge. I started my career in support engineering and moved into Infrastructure at Docker, where I helped manage and scale the systems behind Docker Hub. I'm looking for an SRE or core Infrastructure role where I can take hands-on technical ownership, but I remain open to other interesting infra challenges.

I build the systems plumbing, concurrent pipelines, and secure runtime isolation that AI coding-agent startups are racing to ship.

AutoPatch-AI: An autonomous, self-healing code remediation agent built on a LangGraph state machine. I engineered a zero-trust Docker execution layer (network_disabled=True, 256 MB RAM / 128 PID hard limits), streamed real-time telemetry over lock-free thread queues via SSE, and moved from full-file diffs to Search/Replace block patching, cutting generation overhead by ~80%. Achieved a 100% resolution rate (5/5) on a custom Micro-SWE-bench harness with an average time-to-resolution of ~205 seconds. GitHub: https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/AutoPatch-AI

SentinelPrime: A multi-threaded, regime-aware options trading system for live WebSocket market data. Built using an Actor Model architecture over daemon threads to isolate database I/O and broker API calls, with an asynchronous Token Bucket rate limiter and atomic SQLite (WAL) persistence. GitHub: https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/SentinelPrime

HydraPrime: A systematic XAUUSD trading EA in MQL5. Backtested (not live) over two years on 96M+ real ticks, achieving a 1.37 profit factor, 13.8% maximum drawdown, and 252% net return. GitHub: https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/HydraPrime

Email: mike@geary.com

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Developer experience. I love helping my fellow developers solve problems, and building tools to make their jobs easier and more enjoyable.

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

I'm an Ex-FAANG software engineer with ~10 years of experience, who worked from Product development (Front- and Back-end) to Infrastructure, and everything in between. Since that's where most my experience lies, I'd love to work with Front-end or full stack teams the best, but my experience definitely leans towards Front-end. I'm very passionate about making sure that the users get a great user experience, and that the quality of the products my team ships are top noch. Areas I've worked in before and still feel passionate about are: Healthcare, Developer Experience / Developer tools, Multimedia, Productivity Software. I have worked with teams from early startups to FAANG companies, and while I have no preference I'd work best in a role where I can be involved in product and design discussions as well as engineering ones too. In my free time lately I've been self-hosting in my own homelab via Proxmox, and building passion projects in Elixir.

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: FastCTO (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.

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 an engineer focused on producing easy-to-scale-products, and ease of cross-team and organization improvements. In my last position I led an org-wide architectural migration to event-driven architecture that cut p95 latency by up to 80%, improved deliverability for the entire engineering org, and created frameworks for products that were impossible before. Some other notes within the same position are the integration of Stripe for payments, and being the owner of the enterprise distribution platform for NBA, Mastercard, etc.

I mainly do backend/platform focus, but I also do frontend and mobile. I'm open to Senior, Senior+ IC roles, or similar.

  Email: hello@mia.cx
Hi, I’m Mia. I’m a customer support / technical support generalist and frontend/full-stack developer with 2 years of customer-facing experience and 10+ years of self-taught technical work across web development, Linux/self-hosting, design, and automation.

I’m looking for frontend, full-stack, technical support, application/SaaS support, implementation, junior sysadmin, web operations, or internal IT roles. On the dev side, I’m especially interested in translating existing designs and product requirements into polished, accessible UI/UX. I can do original web design too, but my preference is implementation and product polish rather than being the sole visual designer.

At ABN AMRO I worked in Dutch and English customer care, supported customers with mobile banking and complex disputes, maintained KPI reporting, rebuilt a slow Power BI workflow into an Excel/Power Pivot version with documentation, and submitted 44 internal improvement proposals in two months.

Outside formal work I build web/software projects under mia.cx and run my own homelab with self-hosted k3s.

Résumé/CV: https://www.theconsultantcto.com/share/LM_TCO_2026.pdf?sid=h... Email: lajos [@] theconsultantcto.com

I'm a senior and highly experienced IT developer, architect, DevOps and agentic engineer.

I build (and fix) systems across the full stack — engineering, architecture, infrastructure, security, operations. After three decades of battle-tested experience there isn't a failure mode I haven't already seen.

As an agentic engineer I know how to use AI tools intelligently and prevent failures with well-written specs and guardrails. I know where they fail and why they often makes the same mistakes junior developers make. I see this anytime I get called in to fix what AI-first teams built too fast.

A few things I've done:

  * DevOps tooling & observability platforms with RAG pipelines (InfluxDB, LangChain, Claude Code, Python, NodeJS, Terraform, CI/CD)
  * API-enabled SaaS platform using Solana smart contracts (Rust, Codex)
  * AI-built mobile & desktop app development (NodeJS, React, C++/QT)
  * Azure architecture & DevOps for a banking compliance company
  * Ethereum L1 packer-based automation 
  * Global multi-cloud, Kubernetes-based PaaS cloud design and DevOps for an IoT data platform
  * Custom architecture & development for startups and specialised cloud models

Hi, I'm Madison Rickert, a senior software engineer who has been shipping code to production for over 20 years. Experienced engineering leader, presently all-in on agentic engineering, shipping code daily and finding new ways to push the envelope on its capabilities.

I'm an active contributor to several open-source MCP servers, build agent-first CLI tools, solve computer vision problems, and maintain a growing library of agent skills and agent harnesses I rely on daily. For the past five-plus years I've been a partner and the in-house technical force at a creative studio. Before that, I was a senior IC and fractional engineering lead for a variety of startups and nonprofits, working across the full stack and mentoring teams of up to 5. I have a penchant for both business and personal finance. Across my businesses and clients, I've been responsible for managing organizational finances and countless projects with typical budgets in the 5 to 6 figure range. Over the years this led me into financial automation, and I have several open-source projects in my portfolio in areas around agentic financial automation and investment management. I'm also a working musician, and a hyper-organized Burning Man camp lead, best known around the Northern California festival scene for my saxophone performances for crowds up to 3,000 people.

I'm pivoting back to senior IC engineering after a long stretch as partner-operator. I'm excited to keep expanding the capabilities of AI, and my creative-tech and financial background will be a real asset to the right organization. If you're building software for creative work, media systems, music tech, financial tools, or AI tooling, I'd love to hear about it.
