I am a Software/Firmware Engineer with 14+ years of experience bridging the gap between hardware constraints and user experience. I specialize in system optimization, embedded systems (bare-metal to Linux), and scalable backends.
Highlights:
- Firmware: Yocto, Zephyr, Linux, FreeRTOS, BLE, DSP, ARM/MIPS/x86.
- Backend/Infra: AWS (CloudFormation, IoT), Elixir/Phoenix, CI/CD pipelines.
- Recent impact: Owned the full audio pipeline at Limitless AI (from firmware audio codec to backend storage) and optimized audio playback latency to <800 ms at p99. At R-Zero, reduced the firmware flashing step by 10 minutes per unit on the manufacturing line.
- Experience: Limitless AI (Wearable), SunPower (Energy), and R-Zero (IoT Health).
Comfortable owning the stack end-to-end—from low-level drivers and real-time firmware to backend ingestion, cloud services, and operations. Strong recommendations available from leads at my last 3 projects.
Open to consulting or full-time. Happy to hop on a call to review your architecture or discuss optimization bottlenecks.

Recently I built a vehicle–passenger on-demand matcher and a Kubernetes job platform for heavy optimization workloads. Before that I worked on distributed systems for chronic-care data (Scala, Kafka). Earlier, I spent a decade in transportation optimization across routing, planning, and scheduling.
I’m at my best when partnering with ML or OR teams, taking prototypes and turning them into predictable, production-ready systems. Strong domain modeling, correctness, property-based testing, and keeping on-call quiet.
Open to senior or staff backend or platform roles.
Happy to talk.

I am currently looking for a startup, company, agency or anyone really that is doing world, universe or character building with AI. Whether this is through GenAI models by building IP or something else. my current work spreads 50+ custom management commands for AI image generation, character IP systems, scene replication with layered prompt architecture; which is more or less openly documented on my website. What I am also looking for is fractional or project work (2-6 week cycles) involving generative AI, creative tooling, or content pipelines. https://edwin.genego.io/blog
Indie devs with a upcoming Steam hit looking for a 1-year sponsor for a genuinely fun game that also teaches your tech.

Location: US (remote); Relocation: No; Tech: Various; Email: [email protected]

Résumé / CV: My brother and I are indie game developers. Latest game demo hit 5-figure wishlists in ~week and got organic coverage from several biggest gaming YouTubers. Full launch is planned for March, so we’re looking to identify our next project and start work around April.
We want to spend a year making an edutainment game that’s actually fun and actually teaches a real technology to a deep level (programming language, devtool, front/back-end skill, etc.). We’re open to building around a sponsor’s passions (e.g., “Paul Graham funds a lisp game”) or talk with devtool companies that want a playful, high-quality way for people to learn their tech. We're NOT interested in working on a game that focuses on AI or crypto.
To clarify expectations: * We keep full creative control and publish under our own name. * Sponsor provides 1-year stipends, a Steam marketing budget, and SME/resource support so we are equipped to represent the tech accurately.
If that sounds interesting, let’s talk.

Over 15 years I've worked both in large corporations in cross-functional teams, small teams (5-10) at small to medium companies, and alone as a freelancer taking on projects across many different technologies. My focus in the past few years has been on being a force multiplier for my team and increasing predictability, stability, and developer enjoyment of output. I'm also a big proponent of mentoring and frequently create tech talks from the daily work notes I take so that the lessons from any challenges I face benefit not only me, but my team as well.
My preference is functional languages and companies that use Nix and/or NixOS, but it's more important to have a healthy company and team than any specific technology.
I also do Parkour in my free time, and I have given lessons to coworkers in the past who are interested :)

I'm a generalist with a background in full stack development, release engineering, and systems administration. I can do pointer arithmetic but I can also set up a DNS server or, in a pinch, configure Webpack from scratch. (In a pinch, ok? I'd rather not have to.)
US and Mexican passport holder; willing and able to travel (and I wish I had more excuses to go to CDMX more often). I have good timezone overlap from Seattle to Buenos Aires, and I'm used to keeping early hours to sync with teams in Europe as well.
Native English speaker, C1-ish Spanish.
At my current job I've thrived when assigned to work on large, legacy projects (I've ended up leading them more than once) and with direct contact with customers and users.
I enjoy documenting (yes, really) and mentoring and putting out fires. I have a system based loosely off of quicksort to pair my socks, yet I also spend a good deal of my free time reading and working out.

Full stack web dev here with a bias towards the backend. On my own time I prefer to use python for web work and GDScript/Godot for game dev, but I'm a big proponent of using the right tools for the job. I'm good at turning domain knowledge into software and quickly getting up to speed on preexisting code bases. Ideally looking for a role doing something socially conscious.
* At my last job I led a team and helped build a Windows desktop app that pulled data from native node modules and added overlays to games. I used Electron, Node, Typescript, React, and Redux to build it, AWS for CI/deployments, and finally TrackJS and Sentry for logging/monitoring. I also started learning Rust from working with other engineers on the native node modules.

Until earlier this year, I worked at Uber as a Developer Advocate for Cadence — an open-source workflow orchestration engine powering 12B+ workflows/month. I partnered with dozens of teams to support adoption, scale distributed systems, and troubleshoot production issues. Cadence is a key component of Uber's Michelangelo ML platform, and I worked closely with AI/ML teams to integrate it into fault-tolerant pipelines. I also supported internal model training efforts, including fine-tuning LLMs to answer Cadence-related questions and building systems to classify and prioritize developer support.
At DoorDash, I contributed to the migration from Django to Kotlin microservices on the Drive Merchant Services team, focusing on customer support endpoints. I also designed and implemented a modular refund rules engine for our largest partners, enabling flexible refund logic and supporting internal tooling.
I’ve previously built NLP pipelines at Jobscan to match résumés to job descriptions and score resume strength, and earlier, trained models to predict ad performance based on copywriting—my first foray into ML back in 2016.
After wrapping up at Uber, I took the summer off for personal restoration following a divorce. I'm now excited to return to a hands-on engineering role with a collaborative, technically strong team and a path toward engineering leadership (EM or CTO). I'm particularly interested in infrastructure, developer platforms, and applied ML systems in domains like healthcare, logistics, finance, or defense.
Outside of work, I enjoy navigating Puget Sound on my sailboat, wrenching on my motorcycle, and getting curious about obscure systems and trivia. Let’s build something meaningful.
Principal Software Engineer and Open Source Maintainer with 7+ years of experience as a core contributor to the OpenTHC platform. I'm a versatile full-stack developer with deep experience in backend architecture, distributed systems, and building complete data/ETL pipelines. Beyond coding, I am a strategic contributor who bridges the gap between engineering and business. I've authored 10 comprehensive technical proposals for state government projects and led an organizational effort that slashed customer time-to-resolution by 75%.
I'm looking for a senior to principal-level role where I can solve complex technical challenges and contribute to product strategy.

Hi folks, I'm Matt. About 7 years of experience working at the interface between data science and backend development. My most recent work has been around optimization of grid-scale energy storage systems - I was the technical lead for the team's first go-live in the ERCOT power market. A lot of experience taking something functional but bespoke (think e.g. a Jupyter notebook from a DS researcher) and applying rigorous software engineering principles to make it modular/scalable/maintainable, and dealing with the problems that result from applying machine learning in the real world (e.g. robustness to forecast error).
Primarily experienced in Python but I've learned a lot of languages at this point and don't mind learning new tools that fit that job.
Not afraid to get my hands dirty deep in the guts of algorithms/statistics/mathematics, my background is in electrical engineering with some signal processing experience. I've got years of math skills crying out to be used!
I'm looking for a role that lets me sink my teeth into challenging problems - some kind of math/statistical analysis/optimization/algorithmic bent would be ideal, I get a great kick out of testing out cutting edge new libraries, implementing an algorithm from a new research paper, that kind of thing.
Would love to connect, even if just for networking.

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work, but I am open to work on any interesting project. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.
I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.
I value good teamwork over fancy tech, and I don't shy away from working on legacy code. I am primarily motivated by solving problems, so let me help you solve your problems.
I am open to work for a company anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.
While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.
In addition, I want to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. I also sponsor children that otherwise can't afford to go to school (see my website). If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up a team for you.

I'm technical enough to be dangerous with a CS degree, partial MS in Cybersecurity from Georgia Tech, and I build things for fun (my side projects have hit the HN front page). But my real value is bridging deep technical understanding with business strategy in fast-moving security/AI markets.
Looking for companies at an inflection point where I can build or significantly scale a product function. Ideally somewhere at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
