Previously, I worked at AWS as an Applied Scientist Dual Student, where I (1) developed a novel inference optimization technique yielding 13.4% higher accuracy against baselines, and (2) improved SageMaker's Autopilot forecasting solution, resulting in a 3.5% error reduction and 16% decreased latency in production.
I will graduate with an M.Sc. from LMU in August and am seeking applied machine learning roles to transition my research into production-level systems.

15 years backend. Ex-Automattic on Jetpack Backup, ex-Media Cloud (Harvard/MIT, ICWSM 2021 co-author). PGConf SV 2018 and APAC 2019 talks on Postgres at scale. Currently running https://aero.zip + https://www.lobsterpack.com in parallel and vibecoding like crazy.
Grug-brain engineer (https://grugbrain.dev) and recovering purist. I'd rather push the needle in the wrong direction fast and correct course than design the perfect thing for six months. AI embracer - I treat it as an exoskeleton, not a replacement.

GitHub: https://github.com/david-allison
I lead a global volunteer team and take full product ownership: setting direction over multi-year horizons, planning and implementing architectural migrations, and keeping a project moving via community engagement, triage, fixes, reviews and mentorship.
Highlights:
- AnkiDroid now releases in tandem with upstream, rather than lagging behind by years
- Migrated a 15-year-old codebase from Java 7 to Kotlin, maintaining git blame
- Migrated to a common Rust-based backend. Android contributors are fully isolated from this complexity
- Improved app rating from 4.5 to ~4.8 stars, dramatically reduced crash rate
- Mentored hundreds of contributors and co-launched AnkiDroid's Google Summer of Code programme
Looking for: full-time or contract. IC or EM, I'm nontraditional so I'm open to a conversation about which fits. Drawn to work that makes people's lives better, in any stack.

Backend/platform engineer with 6 YOE. I started in DevOps consulting, building automation, CI/CD, and Terraform/Packer workflows for Fortune 500 clients, then moved into backend engineering on a healthcare claims/payments platform.

Résumé: https://walat.eu | linkedin.com/in/dariusz-walat
Email: dariusz@walat.eu
Senior software engineer, 20+ years on production systems. Working on neural nets since 1996 (neuroevolution, genetic programming) — multiple AI cycles' worth of perspective on what survives the hype. Currently building a regulatory forecasting system for Polish law: ingesting statutes back to 1944, building a graph of legislation and amendments, reasoning about where the regulatory surface is moving. The hard problems are PDF → structured graph at scale and reasoning under uncertainty, not the model wrapper.
I also write about where AI coding agents actually work and where they quietly fail.
Best fit when the work is engineering-shaped — application/data rather than infra/SRE/Kubernetes-heavy — and the schedule overlaps EU hours. Comfortable as autonomous IC or small-team tech lead. Domains where messy real-world data meets non-trivial reasoning are where I'm sharpest — regulatory, legal, scientific, financial.

Most interested in observability platforms, data infrastructure, and AI engineering broadly — anywhere AI is sharpening human judgment rather than displacing it. Currently building out infrastructure tooling in Go using agentic workflows (Claude Code).
Works across the stack — each layer has its own problems worth solving. Publishes on engineering decision frameworks and AI-augmented development workflows.
Pursuing CKA. Not interested in defense, crypto, or gambling.
I am a Full-Stack Engineer focused on building high-performance, security-first systems engineered for longevity. My recent builds consistently achieve a 100 Performance score on Google PageSpeed Insights. Every project I deliver will have 89+ on all pagespeed metrics, no matter what. This does not sacrifice quality, however.
I specialize in end-to-end infrastructure (Website + Dashboard + Backend). I also offer security audits, and bumping your pagespeed scores without sacrificing quality. I offer complex Shopify logic too. I prioritize a "No-Call" workflow. I provide a written plan of action and deliver the code, allowing you to focus on your business without meeting fatigue.
You can contact me via my e-mail, or direcly via my portfolio, whichever method you prefer. More info is in my portfolio.
I'm a Senior DevOps engineer, Cloud Architect and Infrastructure Engineer.
I provide contract or ad-hoc services and support to startups, growth companies and enterprises. I'm often called to set up greenfield DevOps installations, architect and build cloud infrastructures, design platform architectures, build cloud-based, SaaS and mobile products and assist with emergency or short-staffed situations.
I've worked across diverse industries, crypto, tradfi, data platforms, IoT, AI, search, media, etc., which has taught me that that real solutions are rarely one-size-fits-all. I provide solutions tuned precisely to each of my clients: their products and customers, and the way their teams work.
I also provide fixed-price services which are often ideal for startups:
* Azure / AWS Cloud Platform cluster build-outs
* Azure DevOps setups
* Cloud platform security reviews
* DevOps Practice Checkups
* Alerting and monitoring solutions
* Scale-up infrastructure build-outs
* Training, support
* Emergency services

I use Claude Code happily at work, as directed, and seen significant (though not unqualified) productivity gains. I've used it to varying degrees on different personal projects. I'm avoiding it now on personal projects (to retain and build skill). I can work anywhere along that spectrum.
I enjoy learning about what other people are working on, so even if you're not hiring or not interested in hiring _me_, I'd love to connect. I've had some genuinely transformative conversations with people I've met on HN, and I'd love to have more.

Expert backend developer primarily focused on data engineering, mission critical/low latency/highly available systems, and AWS (certs: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8). Happy to deal with greenfield or legacy or any mix of the two. I learn new things extremely quickly.
I prefer long term contract work, though I’ll help you with smaller things as well. W2 employment is a possibility if the fit is right. Whatever you’re doing with AI is also fine by me, and I’ll lead/adapt as appropriate.

I spent a decade as CTO at EMEX, growing the engineering team from scratch through private equity acquisition. Today I operate through Brightform Technology, working with founders who need senior-level engineering without a full-time hire. The kind of problems where product sense and architectural judgment matter as much as code output.
Past work:
* Led all frontend architecture for an IoT platform processing high-volume sensor data across nationwide deployments. Built real-time building floorplan visualization, time-series HVAC dashboards, and a modular device configuration system.
* First engineering hire → CTO at EMEX. Built the flagship real-time reverse auction platform that drove seven-figure annual sales. Grew and led a team of 6 through acquisition.
Best fit: founders with a clear idea and the budget to move fast. You might have Figma mockups, a vibe-coded prototype, or just a well-defined concept. I bring product direction alongside the engineering.
Interested in climate, sustainability, greentech, hardtech, bluetech, etc. or music tech, or anything you need those are just my prefs <3

I started working with AI back in 2014 and consider myself one of the early vibe coders. I’m interested in everything related to AI and security, I’ve worked on benchmarks, optimizations, training and inference, tinygrad, H100, B200, DeepSeek etc. I also developed an ultra-fast programming language for executing complex GPU workloads and created a generative OS for it.
Under 25, I created the core of a security scanner and built a hacking team at a UK startup ($7M investment). We removed the GIL from Python to run 30,000 threads and scan 18,000 exchange IPs for malware overnight.
I have many achievements, I created a Top-10 music app on the App Store and an Instagram filter editor for a social network that had 28,000 users at launch.
I worked on a top-30 cryptocurrency in AI and built a better version of BitChat.

Former graphic designer turned software developer with 10+ years of professional experience. Most recently, I've been building highly dynamic frontends with React. Prior to that, I was re-writing legacy desktop applications as web based with Vue + Go + Postgres. I'm comfortable working across the stack, and adapting to new (or old!) technologies.
Currently working on a VST plugin in C++, and I have explored a number of other areas over the years. Such as: mobile, games, graphics programming, and embedded systems.
While most of my work has been web focused, I'm open to working in other areas. Check out my website, sectionfourteen.com, for more detailed info.

Hi! I'm a full-stack developer focused on building production-ready web and mobile products, especially SaaS platforms, internal tools, customer portals, marketplaces, and business process automation.
I work mainly with Django/PostgreSQL on the backend and Flutter or React on the frontend. I can take a project from product definition and technical architecture through implementation, deployment, and maintenance.
I’m especially interested in remote contract or fractional product engineering roles where I can help design, build, and ship practical business software quickly.

I currently own the full backend and infrastructure layer for a EU company: Python APIs (Flask/FastAPI), PostgreSQL and Redis, AWS infrastructure managed with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes workloads.

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:
• Developer experience. I love helping my fellow developers solve problems, and building tools to make their jobs easier and more enjoyable.
• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.
• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.
• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.
• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.
Open to full time or contract.
I look forward to talking with you!
