SEEKING WORK

Tired of vibecoders? Everything in your environment constantly broken? Try real, organic, human-made code today!

I advocate for, and practice, writing maintainable and well tested code. I prefer to keep the dependency list as small as possible, and every line is written by hand. Thought and care are put into the how and the why behind decisions.

  Examples of things I'm happy to help with:
    - cleaning up existing code
    - writing new code/features
    - fixing your CI/CD pipeline
    - advising on onboarding/DevEx
    - advising on project management
    - answering hard questions like "we mandated 100% test coverage, why do we still have bugs?"

  Examples of things I will not do:
    - vibe code anything
    - use "AI" to respond to your emails/questions/etc
    - use "AI" to "assist" development(AKA generate a lot of bad code really fast)
    - build some horrible "AI driven/enabled/whatever" privacy nightmare for you to inflict on your customers
Some technology keywords for searches: Go(Golang), Python, Docker, Dart/Flutter, Jenkins, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, AWS, Azure, and GCP

I'm an oldschool "let's figure it out and get it done" nerd. I can wear one hat, or many, depending on what's needed. I primarily work in the back end, built lots of REST API servers/services. Recently been writing a lot of front end code in Flutter/Dart.

Note: There are hundreds of hours of me coding live linked on my website. You can also find a link to my GitHub profile there. Given this body of work I am happy to discuss any of my work if you'd like, but I will not be participating in any leetcode style testing or pretend projects. The information you require to decide if I can walk the walk is publicly available.

I'm a back end developer with QA and DevOps experience. I'm an oldschool nerd from the era when we went and figured things out and got work done. Looking for a small company or startup that isn't a wrapper around an LLM API, and isn't pushing AI slop internally.

Mostly a back end dev, but I'm happy to learn new things to work on a new project. I write real code, not AI slop. I believe in writing tests and going the extra mile to deliver a good UX.

Mostly a back end dev, but I'm happy to learn new things to work on a new codebase/product. No crypto companies. Vibe Coding shops, and those who have internal mandates to use AI, need not apply.

SEEKING WORK

Remote: yes

Location: USA

I'm primarily a back end developer, but I'm happy to pick up new skills for a project if needed. I've worked in Go, C#, C, Python, Dart, and some JS/TS. NO VIBE CODING.

Note: If your company is a wrapper for API calls to LLMs I am not interested.
