I'm not a rocket scientist I'm a hacker

I built from scratch the entire stack of an IoT social network that has made front-page here at hacker news and went on to raise money and start Earth's first social internet-controlled devices community

I built from scratch world's second real-time sales coaching platform that listens to your sales calls to suggest critical things to say

I've been the tech lead and a large mobile gaming studio leading the design on scaling to support xx,xxx concurrent users

I've used the underlying IBM Watson engine to save a large health institution ~$50mm using NLP to detect diagnosis codes and published results in an informatics peer-reviewed journal

My specialty is early stage companies that need a "hacker" to quickly prototype, create MVP's, with relatively lasting design (next iteration is to think about making it robust)

She's got a shield and sword to fight the onslaught. ~200ms latency, running on golang, node.js, react.js, python. Aim, shoot, also talk (text-to-speech)

Here's a readable summary (also said below):

Raspberry Pi that runs the python program that sends video to the webserver using ffmpeg. Adafruit Motor HAT to connect the motors to the pi. Android phone is strapped to robot that runs a custom android app that receives chats from the website and also says them out loud using the Android API for text-to-speech. Everything sits on top of a 3d printed chassis. Cheap logitech webcam. Web app is a node server, socketio, ec2.

Ah, taking note. Thanks

One robot is in Santa Barbara, California and the other is in La Jolla in San Diego, California at a park somewhere. If you type in the chat box, the robot will say the chat out load.

At ShipHawk, each developer is entrusted with autonomy and is provided transparency to all parts of the company. The more you put in, the more you get out of your experience here. We are a small agile team that's growing rapidly, 10 minutes away from Santa Barbara beaches. Pair programming and mobbing are the standard. We're tackling ambitious problems and there's no shortage of optimism and excitement here.

In addition to standard development skills, we're looking for you to have optimism, ambition, and a go-get-it attitude. You enjoy solving complex packaging and shipping problems and seek to make a tangible difference to the industry fast. For example: say you have a bunch of boxes of different sizes. You'll have to determine whether the boxes can fit on a pallet, and what the best way is to arrange them. If you say: no problem, give me multiple pallets and a weight and orientation constraint, then we want to talk to you!

You have: - 3+ Years of Ruby on Rails Development and 5+ years developing software in a commercial environment - Solid experience in building high-performance, reliable and scalable services - Experience with Ajax based user interfaces - Experience with our current technology stack is a bonus: Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, React, Git, Postgres - Shipping/transportation industry experience is a bonus We want those who are efficient, organized and follows through on commitments. You're autonomous, have great analytical skills and pay attention to detail. In addition, you're calm under pressure, have a great work ethic and communicate well.

The Kaiser Permanente Medical Informatics team is looking for more software engineers. You will get to do more than code monkeying, though admittedly, there is always some time spent code monkeying. You will get to help improve our natural language processing pipeline to wrangle large clinical datasets (How can we do phrase chunking in a parallel manner? Can we get down to real time, sub-second, speeds?). Help improve our internal tools to assist our physicians and linguistic annotators. Can you use statistical analysis or machine learning to "recommend" other diagnoses? Or, my own personal curiosity, sparked recently in office: can we reprogram an FPGA to be optimized for pattern recognition computations?

If these kinds of things excite you, please send me an email at [email protected]. We're based in beautiful Del Mar, CA, btw.

Cheers
