SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer
I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.
You will like working with me because I:
  * hold your goals as my priorities
  * communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
  * my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
  * I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:
  * built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols.  Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety.  Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
  * built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
  * built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.
