Location: Wisconsin; actively looking to relocate to a warmer climate.

Remote: No.

Willing to relocate: Yes, please.

Technologies: C++, C, Python, OCaml, Verilog, bus analyzers, JTAG debuggers, o-scopes, and whatever else gets the job done.

Resume: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4aVktLek0w0bnRDLVZlTTRCX1U...

Email: wi.is.cold@gmail.com

I'm a software engineering generalist, but my skills run pretty deep in both systems engineering and embedded programming. I'm comfortable working at any level from handful-of-KB bare-metal microcontrollers to Linux kernel drivers to complex multithreaded application design, and I enjoy the variety of working in multiple domains.

My most extensive experience is in block storage peripherals. I've written drivers for a variety of storage protocols and I've designed and built the software architecture for products that move data from storage device A to storage device B at improbably high speeds. But I'm not really looking to get pinned down as a "block storage guy," and would prefer to branch out in a different direction and learn some new technologies along the way. Maybe you have something interesting?

I'm not really looking for yet-another-web-startup opportunities. An attractive position will have challenging problems to solve, a meaningful product to deliver, and a team of smart engineers getting it done. It might involve a physical hardware component, but that's not a requirement. If you are building something on a Node stack, you should be prepared for me to not take you seriously.

Bonus points for use of functional programming languages with strong static type systems.

Location: I'm a recent grad hoping to relocate either to Boston, Austin, Seattle, Atlanta, or the SF area. (I'm open to other areas as well, depending on the opportunity.)

Remote: No

Willing to relocate: 100%

Technologies: AngularJS, Django, JavaScript, Java, Python, jQuery, HTML/CSS, MySQL, MongoDB, Bootstrap, Git, AWS

I took a break from job searching the past 3 weeks to work on an interesting project (esp. for those familiar with fantasy football) built with the MEAN stack. It's not 100% complete yet, but I have a working demo up on Heroku. Please let me know if you're interested in seeing it.

newyankee · 11 years ago
Location: Houston, TX

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Absolutely

Technologies: SQL, R, Python, HTML5, GIS

Applications: Spotfire, Oil and Gas applications incl. Powerexplorer, OFM etc.

Email: sandeep (dot) jlct (at) gmail (dot) com

I have been working as a data analyst at an Oil and Gas firm for > 2 years. I have a Masters in Geosciences and BS in Engineering with a very good research experience in hydrology / climatology. I have worked as a GIS analyst in the past as well. I mostly work on SQL but understand stuff like Mongodb. I am interested in working as a trainee data scientist (with my quant background) working with R, Python etc. I believe my Geospatial background and domain knowledge helps me to work with a wide class of problems.

I've been helping my brother expand his business for the past year and a half. We've grown a great deal and for many reasons I've lost interest in the business.

This is probably the longest period I've gone since high school(I'm 27), without working on a side hustle or launching something. Needless to say, I've got the entrepreneurial itch and I'm looking for someone like minded to start working on something.

My background is primarily sales(5yrs) and internet marketing(4 yrs). I've managed Adwords/Yahoo/Bing search campaigns and large link-building/outreach campaigns. I haven't done much email marketing (but I'd like to learn). I've cold called 50-100 leads per day selling anything from SEO services to residential moving quotes(aka the grind). I'm also fairly knowledgeable when it comes to health care for senior citizens.

I have been learning to develop as well. Technologies I'm familiar with: Python, Django, AngularJS, HTML, CSS, PostgreSQL, Wordpress, version control using git and heroku for deployment. I can build an MVP for most basic ideas.

I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to SEO and lead generation(that's basically what I do all day everyday). I haven't done any ecommerce or SaaS marketing but I find both very interesting.

I have a lot of flexibility and free time with my current gig and I'd like to work on something on the side.

Email in my profile is good, let's talk.

Madsn · 11 years ago
Location: Aarhus, Denmark

Remote: Only on a temporary/trial basis

Willing to relocate: Yes - Not interested in local jobs, looking to relocate to another country, preferably US/Canada.

Technologies: Java, Python, Javascript. Some familiarity with a range of other technologies: Clojure, Ruby, Haskell, C#.

Resume: Let me say this right off the bat - if you are looking for somebody to produce code and nothing else, year after year, implementing whatever feature is next on the backlog, I'm not your guy. If you are looking for somebody you can trust to find the optimal solution to a wide range of problems that you don't already know the answer to, there may be a reason for us to talk.

I would be happy to learn a new technology, and while I have no aversion to any specific technology (the optimal tool depends on the task at hand), a functional language would be a plus for me.

My CV is not up to date at the moment, but please see my linkedin profile for prior experience: http://dk.linkedin.com/in/mikkel3

I currently spend some of my spare time contributing to an open source angularjs project on github, from a SF-based startup: https://github.com/ripple/ripple-client.

MrDom · 11 years ago
Location: Middle of nowhere New York State Remote: yes! Willing to relocate: to anywhere rural. No major cities. Technologies: Javascript, nodejs, angularjs, jquery, PHP, mysql, Java, C#, whatever you're using. I love learning. Resume: https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=29204218, http://lj3.me/webdev Email: lylejantzi3rd@gmail.com

I'm a technology agnostic full stack web engineer. In my 10+ years of experience, I've worked for both large companies and startups on projects as diverse as Proof of Concept prototypes at OpenLaszlo, B2B marketplaces at Verical and online video games at Disney. Some of these projects have attracted millions of users and earned millions of dollars in revenue.

The areas in which I create tangible value include fast implementation of customer facing application features, services integration and internal tooling. I can work across all layers of a tech stack myself or work with specialized teams (ie: a database team, a backend team, etc). Whatever it takes to get the job done.

Feel free to shoot me an email. I'm happy to have a conversation about what you're working on and how I can best contribute.

smcallis · 11 years ago
Location: Denver, Colorado (USA)

Remote: Yes!

Willing to Relocate: Not just yet, but perhaps in a few years. Totally up for periodic travel to the home base, expect me to bring a cot.

Languages: C/C++/Python/CUDA are my bread and butter with a whole gaggle of other with lesser experience (Haskell, Scheme, Javascript, HTML5, CSS).

Technologies: Linux Systems Enginering, GPGPU, signal processing, HTTP, Nginx, Apache, Flask, Pesto, AJAX, SQLite, etc, etc. (If it's out there I've probably at least poked at it a bit.)

Desires: I consider myself a generalist, so I'm interested in a pretty wide range of stuff, but if I had to be more specific then I'd say I'm interested in exploring machine learning more in depth in particular and high speed distributed computing in general ("big data"). Also interested in some of the big architecture work that goes into a website on the backend, cluster computing, message queueing, load balancing, etc.

Resume: Email me yo!

Email: smcallis (at) gmail (dot) com

Education is in signal processing, but I've done a whole bunch of work in software engineering, high speed software development, numeric computation, systems programming and more. I consider myself a generalist and I enjoy functional languages and making software go fast. "Backend" developer would probably not be an inaccurate description of what I do.
