SEEKING WORK | Located US Southern California | Remote 12+ years software engineering experience primarily at early stage startups. Most recently built and lead the entire engineering team for a vc backed startup from seed to series B. The company still exists I left to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. Previously lead the custody team at a widely used cryptocurrency exchange.
I'm proficient in and have written production code that services millions of users in NodeJS, React/NextJS, Go, MySql, PostgreSQL, AWS. Strong preference for Typescript over Javascript. I used to write a lot of Python and Ruby as well. I've also architected and managed infrastructure using Terraform & k8s.
Available up to 3 full days per week and could go to 5 days a week for the right project.
I'm looking for individual contributor work that I can enjoy and open to very competitive rates for non soul crushing projects.
Reach out if you are looking for someone senior who can step anywhere into the stack and make a quick impact.

This is a great way to learn!
Look into Proxmox(https://www.proxmox.com/) for setting up your own ec2 like VM platform. This makes it pretty easy to experiment with setting up and running different services on the same box in an isolated way. Practice things like setting up a VM with a GPU passthrough and then running gpu enabled docker containers on the VM.
Also look into getting a Hetzner server and setting up site to site Wireguard.
FWIW you don't really need to buy a mini pc. You will learn more by doing a build. The great thing about doing something like this is that you can get old data center parts for cheap. Ex: pickup a server motherboard (maybe a SUPERMICRO X9DRI-F), CPUs, and RAM on ebay for < $300. Then put everything into a used server case with a new PSU and you can do everything for $500 or $600. This setup will have more resources then any off the shelf thing you can buy.

There probably arent a lot of sales / marketing / consulting people that read the forum.
