For the last few years, I've been working on a self-checkout product similar to Mashgin that quickly identifies the items people place on a platform. I've really enjoyed work that involves stereo cameras and lidar, 3D scanning, surface reconstruction, and geometry more generally. I also get a lot of satisfaction from building libraries and other dev tools that make some of the more math-heavy tasks easier for non-experts. For more of a flavor of the kinds of work I especially enjoy, take a look at this article: https://andrews.wiki/spherical-mesh.

I've also been a manager and a tech lead, and I try very hard to establish priorities for my team that are simultaneously good for the product and good for the people who work towards them.

I'm currently looking into robotics companies, but anything that involves perception is welcome.

Edit: I have accepted a new job offer. Thanks HN!

I am a physicist with lots of software experience in many domains, including scientific computing, distributed systems, finance & trading, machine learning, and power grid infrastructure.

I maintain several free and open-source software packages, including Cloud Haskell and science-focused packages: https://github.com/LaurentRDC

I have experience as a scientific software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, and quantitative research at a systematic proprietary trading firm specialized in North American power markets. I have also tried starting my own startup in the cleantech space (https://powerweave.io/), which ultimately ran out of runway -- still a valuable experience!

I am interested in many things, including reconnecting with my Physics education and research background -- ideally looking for a role tackling open-ended questions which involves high-performance and/or scientific computing, physics, engineering, etc.

Otherwise, climate technologies, national defense, and software correctness are also interesting. But really, I'm interested in being intellectually stimulated, so don't hesitate to reach out!

My experience spans across cyber security, pharmaceutical, web data scraping, image recognition (ALPR), and mobile apps.

I'm comfortable with an array of technologies and excel in delivering full-stack web applications with excellent systems to maintain them.

I have a strong emphasis on creating customer-focused products and fostering the team collaboration needed to build them.

I've recently integrated generative AI (LLM) features and have enjoyed that work.

I'm currently open to remote or local hybrid opportunities.

I'm a student at Northeastern University majoring in CS and Linguistics. I've built large-scale, efficient software for my neuromechanics and quantum photonics labs, for satellites, and for cloud computing startups. I'm looking for internships (4 months full-time, May - August) in systems engineering, ML, and backend engineering. My most recent project: I built https://github.com/tetraslam/SHFLA and won the MIT Media Lab hackathon + Harvard C House hackathon. It hit the front page of HN, and got me demo requests from Stephen Wolfram, David Sinclair, Joscha Bach, and Suno AI.

I am a data engineer and a broadly skilled generalist senior developer - and in the past, a bioinformatician.

Bio summary: After a graduating with a maths degree in 2014 and an early career role in finance, I found my path to data engineering in bioinformatics in 2016, initially as a full stack developer in a research institute and then taking on increasingly data focused work. I worked in life sciences for many years, until in 2023 I joined a healthcare startup, which for an exciting year and a half was a great opportunity to experiment with 'modern practice' like Databricks and integrating LLMs. Looking for new opportunities to engage in meaningful work.

From my bioinformatics and data engineer experience, I'm good at interfacing with researchers and turning ideas and prototypes into working products: developing data flow workflows, evaluating performance of models, providing interfaces and entry points for clients, and more.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of contributing to significant projects in academic, commercial, and non-profit settings. If my profile or any of the technologies listed resonate with you, feel free to reach out via email!

Fields: Fullstack, Backend, Frontend, .NET, Machine Learning

I am a full stack software developer with six years of experience delivering major features for ML applications in the ITSM industry. As part of a small engineering team at my last role, I was expected to exercise full ownership of the various features I was working on, from design all the way to implementation and maintenance. In addition, I was also recruited to be a member of the company's ML research team, where I gained the ability to quickly adopt and learn new tech, frameworks, and libraries in order to stay on the cutting-edge of AI technology. I have worked on everything from brand new greenfield projects to decade old legacy software and have made it a personal philosophy to never leave a codebase worse than I found it.

I am looking for either a general full-stack or ML-focused developer role.

  Location: New York City
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Probably not
  Technologies: JavaScript, TypeScript, C, Haskell, Solidity, C#, MUMPS

I'm good at this sort of nitpicky work, spotting and thinking about edge cases. I like getting things exactly right, even though that obviously isn't always possible due to various constraints. I've been kind of wondering if I should get into embedded development; I find it appealing when things are low-level or similarly constrained. I've beaten Microcorruption. :) (The original levels, I haven't played the new ones.)

I'm also quite interested in unusual or obscure data formats, and working on Truffle Debugger and its associated libraries certainly involved a bunch of having to figure undocumented formats and interfaces. :) I put down above what languages I've worked substantially in but I'd say I'm a generalist and will figure out whatever you give me (I knew approximately no Javascript, Typescript, or Solidity when I started working at Consensys).

I'm a mathematician by background and in my spare time, so after the Truffle Debugger project was shut down I took some time off to focus on my mathematical projects. But now I'm looking for work again! If you need someone like me, I'm available for hire!

  Location: David, Panama. EST (UTC-5)
  Remote: YES (only)
  Willing to relocate: NO
  Technologies: Javascript/Typescript, NextJS, React, Astro, Docker, PHP, Prisma, Postgres, SQL

  Interest: Contract/part-time positions (up to 4 hours/day for the next 2-3 months, with potential for full-time thereafter). 
  Availability: Immediate
  Rate: $35/hour  

For over a decade, I worked at the same company, where I designed, developed, and deployed a suite of enterprise applications serving 700+ active daily users. These systems have operated seamlessly and unattended for the past year, showcasing my commitment to building robust and reliable software.

Most recently, I contributed to a Y Combinator startup (Central, YC S24), leading the development of several features such as external service integrations, TOTP-based MFA, and user-facing workflows.

I'm passionate about solving complex problems and creating efficient, scalable solutions, and I'm particularly drawn to projects that align with my ethical values, avoiding industries that harm the environment, compromise health, or raise ethical concerns. I aim to contribute positively to the world through my work.
