Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No, but open to occasional travel
Technologies: Scala, Clojure, Java, TypeScript, AWS, Akka, Spark, Cats, ZIO, React, Kubernetes, Terraform; DevOps and microservices architecture; increasingly using AI tools in the dev workflow; brushing up on Rust and Go

I've built web UIs across a few different stacks but prefer backend work. I've served as team lead, tech lead, and mentor. I'm a big proponent of using AI tools for code generation, code review, and automation — anything that makes life easier for developers and end users. I gravitate toward hard problems, especially science-adjacent ones, and toward systems that touch a lot of people. Bonus points for open source.
Coworkers and friends come to me when they're stuck on something gnarly. I write clean code and back it with thorough unit and integration tests, but I stay pragmatic about performance — I've profiled and reworked systems multiple times to cut runtime or memory footprint by 1000x or more.

I have experience in developing web applications using various UI stacks, but prefer backend development. I have experience as team lead, technical lead, and mentor. I am also a big proponent of leveraging AI tools for code generation/inspection/reasoning, and automation, striving to make life easier for both developers and end-users. I enjoy working on interesting and challenging problems, especially science-related ones, and on systems that impact large numbers of people. Contributing to open source projects would be a huge plus. With my background and skills, I will be an asset to your team.
Coworkers and friends look to me for programming advice and assistance in solving complex problems. I relish challenging projects. I strive to write exceptionally clean code, along with suites of thorough unit and integration tests. I am pragmatic, and bear performance in mind, however. Multiple times I've profiled and analyzed code and design, and identified opportunities to speed up and/or reduce footprint by a factor of 1000x or more.

I've kept mine in a single file HTML with some CSS for years too. After toying with more complicated solutions, decided to stick with the KISS principle.
It's at https://github.com/astangl/alexstangl-resume if anyone wants to take a look.

I was actually just reading about Kapton yesterday, and stumbled upon some info about its deterioration being hastened by heat.

In our high school physics class in early 80s, the teacher didn't care for calculators, so you'd have to do your calculations by hand, or learn to use a slide rule. I learned to use a slide rule, along with a buddy. I don't remember others in the class using slide rules, but looking back now, I have a hard time believing everybody else used pencil & paper. So there were probably others.
I think that teacher didn't retire for another 20 years, so he may have had kids in the 21st century still learning to use slide rules for his class.

I checked with Kinesis sales, and they said they’ll be offering the PBT dyesub keycaps, for those of us who’d like to buy them for our old Advantage2 keyboards. No word yet on when they’ll be available though.

Nice idea, thanks wentin!
Would be nice to allow user to paste in arbitrary code text, to reflect more typical code they're used to seeing (and get it to display ligatures, if applicable). Or possibly allow user to specify a source file from GitHub/GitLab to display.
Is this open source?

I had this experience, too, after tech reviewing quite a few books. I quickly got to the point where I didn't want to even look at the final product, because of all the pointed-out flaws that would still remain, and I'd know the book could have been so much better, except that some editor was in a rush, or lazy.
