SEEKING WORK - Silicon Valley or Remote
Principal technical founder of an ad-tech startup - available for contract engagements.
I bring to the table 15+ years of experience in software development, architecture and operations, as well as product management / marketing and business development. Available to supplement and/or guide your existing team - think of the biggest challenges your operation is facing and what kind of problems your staff is not currently equipped to solve. While my particular strength is "connecting the dots" across various disciplines, I am always happy to get my hands dirty to get projects delivered. I've had experience with Silicon Valley companies throughout their entire lifecycle, going back to the original dot-com era.
While I have some level of experience with a very long list of technologies, above all I believe in pragmatic approach to choosing tools to fit the task at hand. The most recent/intimate experience in the current stack has been with delivering scale, performance and fault-tolerance in Big Data operations using the following principal technologies:
- Front-End : Python, Django, JavaScript, Bootstrap
- Backend/IDL : Java, Thrift, Avro, Protobufs
- Data Stores : Hadoop/HBase, Redis, MySQL/PgSQL
- Data Science : Custom-engineered algorithms/solvers with performance way above off-the-shelf packages
Due to the sensitive nature of my current committments, details on my background would only be available to qualified clients able to articulate the specific problems they need help with.
