Senior software engineer with 5+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems, CDN/edge infrastructure, and developer-facing platforms. Currently at Disney working on the DTC media platform powering ESPN, Disney+, and Hulu - designing intent-based CDN policy controls (with Z3 formal verification), optimizing multi-CDN traffic mix, and integrating with Akamai, Fastly, and CloudFront for live events. Previously a founding engineer at a YC-backed messaging startup (Texts) and ran my own infrastructure-heavy SaaS for several years. Comfortable across the stack but happiest deep in backend/infra work - distributed systems, networking, performance, and tooling that makes other engineers faster. Currently pursuing an M.S. in CS at Georgia Tech (Computing Systems, 4.0).

Résumé/CV: <https://en.masher.media/about.html>
Email: [email protected]
I've mostly been a first or founding engineer, owning systems that have to scale early. I focus on high-throughput pipelines, messaging systems, media transcoding, and recommendations—areas where issues show up under load, retries, and edge cases.
I also build real-time dashboards to observe and control these systems, using local-first approaches and browser-based technologies for media processing and realtime communication.
- Messaging systems delivering millions of emails and push notifications in minutes (retries, deliverability, observability)
- Browser-based video editing and encoding platform using FFmpeg, Supabase, and AWS
- Real-time pipelines and recommendation systems for tens of millions of users
- Scaled event ingestion ~100x for analytics and experimentation
I do my best work in small, product-focused teams, owning systems end-to-end, staying close to production, and communicating early around risks and tradeoffs.
- Founding or early engineering roles (full-time, part-time, or contract)
- Backend or infrastructure-heavy work
- Products with real users or a clear path to them

Email: hello [at] ensostudio [dot] dev
Senior backend and infrastructure engineer, available for part-time contract work (8–16 hours/week) alongside an existing engagement.
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. I've performed cloud migrations between AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean, and taken ownership of legacy systems that nobody else wanted to touch. Happy to be the person your team pings when something is broken and nobody knows why.
Looking for 1–2 additional clients who need a reliable, senior-level contractor to own a slice of their backend or infrastructure. I invoice through a registered EU company in EUR or USD.

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.

Résumé: https://walat.eu | linkedin.com/in/dariusz-walat
Email: [email protected]
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.

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, including old ones I've been shepherding through publication. But now I'm looking for work again! If you need someone like me, I'm available for hire!

Most of my background in software is from doing game development in C++ back in the day as a hobby (as you may be able to tell from the heavily WIP website), but I'm rusty, as I switched to Godot many years ago.
I'm looking for a new job that won't compromise on my current work-life balance and pays enough to justify living in the city (>120 a year).
I probably wouldn't pass a technical interview, but I'm open to (and enjoy) learning new stuff. The industry you're in doesn't matter, but you will get bonus points if you're working on a meaningful problem like climate.
Senior EM, platform/backend background.

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.

Looking for a role in a small company or startup with great engineering culture.
Location: USA
Remote: Preferred
Willing to relocate: Maybe
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.

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.
