Did not know such a thread existed, so please forgive me if I do not have my information available in an orderly, but anonymous fashion.
Location: 2 hours away from Silicon Valley
Remote: Yes, with the option of working 1 day a week (2 days perhaps before releases) for companies in the South Bay.
Willing to relocate: Yes. I will be relocating in the near future, which is why I am searching for short-term/remote positions.
Technologies: Strongest skills: Java and Elasticsearch.
Resume: None at this moment (please see my first sentence).
Email: REDACTED_EMAIL I do not have a proper anonymized email account, so let me reuse one from an old band for now. Will update this post when I create a better one.
I am a back-end developer with interest in data and search engines. Long time Elasticsearch user, have written some plugins, few source commits and one of the main contributors on the mailing list (was asked to help moderate as well). Java developer since 1.1. Not entirely by choice, but that is what companies pay me to work with. :) I have written professionally in Scala (would love to reuse) and Python, but I am not tied to any language. Whatever it takes to get the job done.
Currently working full-time and on site, but because of the lack of local opportunties, I will be relocating to elsewhere on the west coast (not the Bay Area). Open to remote positions, both short-term (2+ months) or full-time. Due to upcoming summer vacation plans, I am looking for a change starting in August at the earliest. For now, I just want to open the lines of communication.
