Location: San Francisco, CA and Los Angeles, CA
Remote: Yes, hybrid considered for the right money.
Willing to relocate: Not at this time
Current Level: Senior Staff / Principle / Lead
I'm a seasoned generalist with deep focus in certain areas such as game development, performance engineering, systems engineering, low-level engineering and embedded software.
What I shipped this year for money: Performance improvements to HFT code (Rust & C++) for financial trading. Firmware for the hardware of an ereader (Rust+ARM).
What I shipped last year for money: High performance (C++) server backend for a video game.
Current side-project: Deep internals work on VS Code Web: using quilt to maintain patches against upstream, extending it with inline agent panels and custom completion providers, backed by a bespoke C# server replacing the Node.js REH with my own dedicated server - similar in spirit to Coder's Code Server or OpenVSCode-Server.
Technologies: kernel drivers, systems engineering, video games, AI, LLMs, caching, graphics, rendering, assembly languages, generative AI, heavy focus on back-end systems, and to a lesser degreee, full-stack.
- Languages: C++, C, C#, Go, Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Lua, + more.
- Backend: node, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, mySQL, RocksDB, GraphQL, SQLite.
- Engines: DumpsterFire, UnrealEngine, Unity3D.
- Platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, SONY PS2/3/4, XBOX360/One, Switch, embedded, web
- Frontend: Next, React, Vue, Pixi
- DevOps/Cloud: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, VMs, Vagrant, VMWare, TeamCity, Jenkins, CI/CD
- AI/ML: Model training/tuning, LoRa, RAGs, PyTorch, TensorFlow, SciKit, OpenCV, etc, etc, generative AI and computer vision.
- LLM Integrations: OpenAI, Gemini, Claude plus many others, local and cloud.

MSc in CompSci and MSc in AI/Robotics
20+ years of experience in performance critical systems engineering, video game development, embedded (C/C++/Rust/Asm), low-level engineering & AI, full stack and high performance backends.
Open to full time or contract. Looking for something low-stress and interesting, so open to unconventional setups, but base comp still needs to be grounded in reality.Comment · 2 months ago

You can certainly do that, but then your Samsung refrigerator will not acknowledge the water filter inserted into it and refuse to dispense water or make ice.
This is an actual thing.

Los Angeles. Missing both my front gate and my back gate, and the temple bell just inside, and the kabukimon that leads to the engawa, covered by the nokishita. Shikata ga nai
