Email: redshoeweb <at> gmail dot com, https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-preston-redshoeweb/

Senior/Staff-level frontend engineer with 13 years at Ontraport, where I progressed from Junior Engineer to Senior Frontend Engineer and technical lead. I’m looking for a Senior or Staff Engineer role where I can stay close to the code while owning architecture, complex product work, and technical direction.

I’ve led products from early prototypes through production, including a graph-based visual automation builder, website/email builders, real-time multi-channel messaging, and data-heavy CRM interfaces. My work has included frontend architecture, complex state management, WebSockets and event-driven systems, performance optimization, reusable component systems, application security, TypeScript modernization, and occasional backend work in Go/PHP/Postgres.

I also spend a significant part of my time making engineering teams more effective: technical design and planning, mentoring, code/architecture reviews, debugging difficult production issues, and improving tooling and testing. I introduced Playwright and reusable mocked APIs for E2E testing, and more recently have incorporated Claude Code and other AI-assisted workflows into debugging, implementation, testing, legacy-code exploration, and review.

Best fit: a collaborative, product-focused team building complex web software where strong frontend architecture, UX, and engineering judgment matter. Especially interested in Senior/Staff IC roles at growing, mission-driven companies.

Email: [email protected]

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.

• Technical and general interest writing.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

Creative technologist / product engineer. Two sides: AI tooling and automation for teams, and generative/immersive art. Same instinct either way - prototype fast, make the abstract real.

Recent work:

- Idea Engine (open source): start from a seed word, wander an association map, and pin the path you took into a buildable concept card. Three-model pipeline - one proposes associations, one scores and filters them for surprise and coherence, one writes the card. Svelte + Hono + SQLite, runs locally in Docker. https://github.com/somaticbits/idea-engine

- Forward-deployed engineer at a large hospitality/marketplace company. Built automations that removed up to 6h of manual work per project.

- Slides and websites generated straight from existing Figma components. Design system in, finished artifact out.

- Currently writing a custom MCP server for a calisthenics training app, so workouts and progress are coached and queried by an agent rather than through the UI.

Looking for full-time work where AI tooling meets creative tech. Teams building something new rather than iterating on what's there.

Redesigned a legacy pipeline from 18M → 1B messages/month (50x throughput) using an Actor Model on Kafka and Kubernetes. Ingested 1 billion rows in 10 minutes on a time-series rewrite, and cut vector-search latency by 60%. End-to-end ownership from R&D PoC to production, spanning on-prem, multi-cloud, IoT (1M MQTT msg/sec), and corporate analytics. 5+ years leading and mentoring teams in Agile / Scrum environments; also Developer Advocate & Pre-Sales Engineer (GITEX Berlin). Contributed to multi-region projects for a Critical Infrastructure Energy provider, ensuring scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency, with close collaboration between Engineering, DevOps, and Business Stakeholders. Also worked in pure R&D, reading Distributed Consensus and SHA-256 Cryptography in Verilog papers and implementing them.

Led engineering teams in both startups and large organizations, and equally comfortable designing system architecture as debugging performance issues at 3 AM or implementing the tricky parts myself. Motivated by learning and high impact, and thrive in fast-paced environments where ownership and initiative are encouraged.

Outside of tinkering with Software & LLM/AI, I enjoy hiking in the Alps and play some DOTA2 whenver I have time.

Senior software engineer, 20+ years. Available immediately; US Pacific hours. Looking for a full-time remote role designing backend or platform systems.

I write programs that write programs. Data UI is a compiler I'm building in Common Lisp. It already compiles a 57-line model into PostgreSQL, REST, a minimal React UI, row-level RBAC, and Kubernetes+TLS, and deploys it. The same application is roughly 20,000 lines written by hand. In my tests an agent can generate large parts of it, but not the application. It needs a senior directing it the whole way. The 57-line model is what gets reviewed instead. Live demos: https://data-ui.com

Recently, Azure Government (FedRAMP IL5): commercial Elasticsearch was not allowed, so I replaced it with self-hosted Elasticsearch inside the VNet. Subnet and AKS in Terraform; Elasticsearch from Terraform-managed Helm charts.

I run several models from different providers, including local ones, in one Emacs instance. Any of them can enlist another against the same live state. One shape: a model drafts a plan, enlists a second to draft its own, then reconciles the two. They implement against the live Lisp image, and they can patch the Emacs instance they are running in, so a fix to the harness takes effect on the next prompt. In the usual setup the model can't reach the program running it. Only I commit.

Hello HN, I'm Dan Saul, a full-stack software developer with 10+ years of experience building and shipping production systems across SaaS, telecom, and business automation. I enjoy turning complex requirements into working software that people actually use.

How I work: I take ownership of features end to end, write tests and documentation as part of the job, and care about code review and solid SDLC practices. I participate in Agile processes as a team member, mentor junior developers, and contribute to architecture decisions. I build software directly and use agent-driven tooling pragmatically, treating generated code like any other contribution that needs review and verification.

What I'm looking for: Full-stack or backend-focused product teams where I can write real code, solve real problems, and help ship reliable software. Interested in SaaS, internal tools, telecom/comms, and practical business applications. I work best with teams that value clear thinking, accountability, and getting things done without unnecessary process.

Location: Paris, France / US

Remote: Yes (happy to work US East or West Coast hours)

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Vercel AI SDK, OpenRouter, Langfuse; LLM agents, RAG, document extraction, evals

Résumé/CV: https://oswaldb22.com/cv.pdf

Email: [email protected]

AI engineer, full-stack TypeScript. Contract or freelance, full-time availability. I ship LLM features that hold up in production: agents, RAG, document extraction, evals and observability, plus the Next.js app around them.

Recent: designed and built a B2B SaaS with an AI agent and a document pipeline alone, now in production with paying customers. Late 2025: agents, RAG pipeline and an AI audit for a startup. Before that, LLM agent architecture at SAP (2021–2025).

Best fit: adding an agent to an existing product, or making a shipped LLM feature reliable. Fixed-scope four-week builds welcome. Invoicing through a French company (W-8BEN-E for US clients).

Remote: Yes (IST)

Willing to relocate: Yes, Bengaluru; also open to hybrid/onsite there

Email: [email protected]

Availability: immediately; full-time, or contract/contract-to-hire

Backend engineer, 8 years, writing Go since 2019, mostly on systems that move money: real-time trading for 40K concurrent users, payment APIs across 4+ providers at a cross-border payments company, and billing.

Since 2025 I've built open-source backend systems full time and load-tested them on AWS, with public, dated benchmarks:

* Velox (https://github.com/getvelox/velox), a usage-based billing engine in Go + Postgres + Stripe. Idempotency keys end to end, a unique index that rejects a second invoice for the same period, a reconciler that looks up ambiguous Stripe charges instead of retrying blind, and leader leases with fencing tokens. 12,000-15,000 events/sec of batched ingest on RDS, every event reconciled. Billing leader SIGKILLed at five points mid-run: 0 duplicate or lost invoices. Negative control: drop the index and the same run bills 103 invoices for 40 periods, $2,575 against $1,000.

* A notification platform (https://github.com/sagarsuperuser/notif-service) on SQS/RDS/Kubernetes: 2,000 accepts/sec sustained, and a 58-second total provider outage lost 0 of 100,000 messages. Along the way I found a retry bug silently dropping 8,838 of 100,000 messages and proved the fix with an A/B run on AWS.

Looking for senior backend roles where correctness matters: payments, billing, ledgers, infrastructure.

Location: Anywhere in U.S.

Willing to relocate: Temporarily

Technologies:

I’m looking for 3- to 12-month contracting opportunities (corp-to-corp), anywhere in the U.S., with organizations looking to move some or all of their infrastructure on-prem.

I can...

Design reliable, secure, scalable, and cost-effective compute, storage, and networking that’s tailored to the needs of your business, using open source software, open weight LLMs, and off-the-shelf hardware.

Find suitable colocation host(s) and negotiate agreements for space, power, bandwidth, and insurance; or hire and supervise a licensed general contractor for building out a server room in your office or other facility.

Get the best deals on equipment, cabling, transportation, and everything else.

Hire and supervise temporary labor for the buildout (“rack and stack”).

Bootstrap networking, storage, cluster management, and Gitops systems. I have lots of experience running Kubernetes on bare metal, arranging BGP peering at public interconnection points, and connecting private clouds to public ones.

Perform initial validation and load testing, and help you migrate services from public clouds or SaaS providers.

Provide training and consultation on SRE best practices, observability, oncall rota, etc.

Resume/CV:

I have 30 years of experience in ISP, web, and related businesses, including as a Technical Program Manager for Google SRE. I started an ISP in 1996, back when all that was needed to do so was a bank of modems and a Linux box or two. I led data center buildouts for several dot coms—including a major social networking site, Bebo—in the late 90s and early 2000s, before the “cloud” existed, and I have tons of experience in the intervening years writing software and operating production services on all of the major hyperscalers. I had a stint managing wifi buildouts in hotels all over the country, where I learned the ins and outs of finding and working with skilled and reliable tradespeople. As the founder of two startups, I know how to be scrappy and move fast in a high-growth environment; I’ve also been an employee and consultant embedded in more mature organizations, always with a reputation for getting things done.
