I've had numerous roles and responsibilities under the umbrella of "techology-related problem-solver". I have a fairly T shaped skill-set and tend to gravitate towards areas where I can have the largest impact. Sometimes that means architecting and building distributed systems solutions and libraries, other times it means working with security teams to improve the Secure SDLC for an engineering group by growing developer mind-share into Shift-Left. My lauded communication skills have enabled me to solve some engineering problems with soft skills alone.
I've worked in the healthcare space for the last ~5 years, and have found my cross-knowledge of development and secure practices to be a boon in leveling-up engineering groups perspectives on handling and protecting sensitive data (HIPAA and friends).
Technology-wise I've worked with quite a few different stacks (most recent noted above) and don't have much trouble picking up new things and diving deep. I tend to stay abreast of technology developments and trends by consuming sites like HN or subreddits for specific languages/technologies (In communities which I'm not directly involved, I check in once a week to see how different groups shape their perspective on discipline-wide problems). I also enjoy the opportunity to dive deep into the source code of an open-source project to answer questions that aren't well documented or blogged about.
Most of my work is closed-source, but I tend to hang around in slack/discord/gitter/etc and try to answer more than I ask.
I'm currently looking for full-time remote opportunities.
• Remote: Yes
• Willing to relocate: Not at this time
• Technologies: Typescript, Nodejs, React, F#, Python, Erlang, Java, Ruby, Postgres, Kafka, ElasticSearch, Redis, Security, DevOps
