SEEKING WORK - Remote (occasional on-site possible, Bay Area based)
Experienced generalist not afraid to get his hands dirty and more than capable of coming in and getting things in order when things are ugly.
Primary strengths are on the back end, from restful services to distributed systems and scaling.  Particular experience in embedded/constrained systems, security/PKI, image and video coding.  Platform agnostic, primarily spend time in C/C++, Python, and NodeJS.  I've spent time in other areas as well -- including devops, system administration, and the like.
I'm mostly am looking for projects that are either well defined, or if experimental/prototyped, we come up with a clear set of goals.
While Bay Area based, my schedule actually typically has good overlap w/ the East Coast and Europe.
