Who I am: Fractional CTO with 25+ years of experience building and scaling products across multiple generations of the web. I’m often brought in to turn ideas into working systems quickly, or to stabilize and evolve existing platforms.
I’ve led teams, hired engineers, defined architecture, and stayed hands-on in the code. My work spans AI-driven platforms, streaming media systems, and full-stack web applications. I’m comfortable operating at both the executive strategy level and deep in implementation.
Known for being a “Swiss army knife” technologist who can bridge product, engineering, and execution without overengineering.
What I am looking for: Part-time Fractional CTO or Head/Director of Technology roles.
Best fit: startups or growing companies that need someone to own technical direction, ship quickly, and make practical decisions without unnecessary complexity.
Strong interest in AI-powered products, media/streaming, and content platforms, but open to any project where execution speed and clarity matter.

I've worked as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) for over 12 years across startups, midsize, and FAANG companies with a focus on automating tests and processes which are often repetitively mundane or large time sinks. This ranges from writing said automated tests for web and mobile devices to the frameworks that run them. I also have experience in managing teams of people that take care of these tasks.
I enjoy the time saving nature of automation and have a genuine interest in maintaining a high degree of product quality. While my work has been SDET related up until now, I am open to developer roles as well since there is a high degree of overlap.
If you would like to get to know more about my experience work wise or personal projects feel free to send me an email.

I'm a full stack/generalist looking for the next step on the ladder. On paper I've been a "Senior Software Engineer" for too many years. In practice I've been a micro-team technical lead and worked at a "Staff" level, just never got the title bump on paper. In graduate school I attempted a solo founder thing and they say that startup itch never entirely leaves you and there is a small part of me wondering if it is time to seek the right Technical Cofounder opportunity.

15 years in tech doing a job that has a lot of names depending on the company — platform engineer, support engineer, internal developer advocate — but always the same core function: making sure the humans using internal infrastructure aren't left to figure it out alone. At Atlassian I was embedded with the security platform team, sitting in sprint planning, tracking support patterns, and making sure user pain shaped the roadmap rather than being tossed in the backlog pile. If your platform team is building great things that nobody can figure out how to use or troubleshoot, that's the problem I'm good at solving.

Résumé/CV: https://linkly.link/2Wb4u
I'm graduating in a month, so I'm seeking junior/graduate-level roles that revolve around backend and systems development where I can learn a lot. My experience includes four internships and multiple side projects (please check my resume and GitHub).
I started programming on my own at the age of 15. Since then, I have explored multiple areas, including mobile app development (native and Flutter), web development (React, Next.js, Vue), QA, MLOps, and AI/ML. During this exploration phase, I realized that I want to focus my career on backend development.
Most of my coding experience is in Java and Python. I also really enjoy Kotlin and am currently learning Go (Golang) by building a simple VPN as a side project. However, I am not limited only to these languages.

I started working with AI back in 2014 and consider myself one of the early vibe coders. I’m interested in everything related to AI and security, I’ve worked on benchmarks, optimizations, training and inference, tinygrad, H100, B200, DeepSeek etc. I also developed an ultra-fast programming language for executing complex GPU workloads and created a generative OS for it.
Under 25, I created the core of a security scanner and built a hacking team at a UK startup ($7M investment). We removed the GIL from Python to run 30,000 threads and scan 18,000 exchange IPs for malware overnight.
I have many achievements, I created a Top-10 music app on the App Store and an Instagram filter editor for a social network that had 28,000 users at launch.
I worked on a top-30 cryptocurrency in AI and built a better version of BitChat.

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I’m currently doing DevOps work for an open source project, operate a small web hosting company, and working as an accounting assistant for a local firm. My skillset is focused on the System Administration/DevOps side, with a bit of general dev experience primarily with Python. I have a PhD in Physics with my research focus being computational biophysics. On the side I also host my own infrastructure as a hobby, from the hardware to the nameservers and everything in between.
Having worked at startups before, I’m comfortable wearing many hats (and enjoy the variety).

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

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where I can get the necessary permission to live and work. Occasional travel is possible.

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 spent a decade as CTO at EMEX, growing the engineering team from scratch through private equity acquisition. Today I operate through Brightform Technology, working with founders who need senior-level engineering without a full-time hire. The kind of problems where product sense and architectural judgment matter as much as code output.
Past work:
* Led all frontend architecture for an IoT platform processing high-volume sensor data across nationwide deployments. Built real-time building floorplan visualization, time-series HVAC dashboards, and a modular device configuration system.
* First engineering hire → CTO at EMEX. Built the flagship real-time reverse auction platform that drove seven-figure annual sales. Grew and led a team of 6 through acquisition.
Best fit: founders with a clear idea and the budget to move fast. You might have Figma mockups, a vibe-coded prototype, or just a well-defined concept. I bring product direction alongside the engineering.

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!

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.

10+ years building backend services, data pipelines, and on-chain infrastructure.
Most recently founding engineer at Moar Market (leveraged farming on Aptos, ~$7.5M peak TVL) — owned the full stack: Move contracts, indexers, off-chain liquidation engine, DB design, and infra end-to-end.
Before that, tech lead at Hubble Exchange — built a custom EVM-forked L1 for orderbook perps that scaled to 50,000 TPS and 30M+ transactions, including the matching engine, indexing stack, and an SDK for market makers. Earlier: backend at Zomato (Hyperpure greenfield) and Delhivery (WMS, marketplace integrations with Amazon/Paytm).
Recent side project: Deploy Terminal — an MCP-based trading terminal exposing Hyperliquid execution to LLM agents (Claude Code, openclaw etc.) with non-custodial wallet signing via Privy TEE.
Looking for: senior/lead engineer roles. I'm interested in web3, fintech, quant infra, and agentic solutions. Comfortable owning systems end-to-end; prefer small teams shipping fast over large orgs.
Not necessarily looking for full time employment, if someone just wants to do a trial via part time / fixed duration project, that would be even better for a start. My last 3 full time roles started like that.

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: dariusz@walat.eu
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.

About: I am a Generative AI Engineer who also happens to be pretty handy across the full stack. Most of my recent work has been building RAG pipelines, AI agents, and natural language search — using LangChain, LangGraph, and vector databases like Pinecone and ChromaDB — with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs under the hood. I care deeply about shipping GenAI features that hold up beyond the demo stage.
Beyond GenAI, I am working on the full stack — React/TypeScript on the frontend, Node.js or ASP.NET Core APIs on the backend, and AWS/Azure for infra. I like owning things end-to-end and building software that's simple and reliable.
Technologies:
• Generative AI: LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, Agentic RAG, Prompt Engineering, Vector DB (Pinecone, ChromaDB, FAISS), Embeddings, Streamlit
• AI/ML Stack: Python, NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, Jupyter Notebooks
• Frontend: React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), Redux, React Query, D3.js, Chart.js, MUI, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js, Express, C#, ASP.NET Core, Web API, GraphQL, LINQ, Entity Framework
• Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, Docker, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
• Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, SQL Server, AWS RDS, T-SQL
• Security & Auth: JWT, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, Keycloak, ADFS

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.
Open to full time or contract.
I look forward to talking with you!

Most recent: DevOps and Engineering Manager at Counterpart (insurance), where I led two full-stack teams plus DevOps and built an MCP infrastructure connecting GitHub, Linear, Salesforce, Snowflake, and Slack across the full insurance lifecycle. Agile success rate peaked at 89% against an 80% industry benchmark. A git-tracked Salesforce deployment pipeline I built on GitHub Actions saved roughly $20k a year and made deploys boring again.
Before that: Director of Engineering at Flourish Software (up to 15 engineers, 60% improvement in on-time delivery, 50% reduction in support load), Senior Full Stack at Expensify (moved millions of dollars a day, six-stack infrastructure), CEO of RedDep Labs (17 people, $8.6M valuation), CTO at iCracked (Y Combinator, 400+ technicians, dispatching system).
How I lead: I hire people who care about each other's success as much as their own, set clear commitments, and then trust the team to do the work. I trained as an actor and was a special education teacher before I wrote code, which is how I keep technical conversations legible to non-engineers and how I'm comfortable in any room.
Best fit: a team that values shipping over performance, has real users, and wants a leader technical enough to read the code and grounded enough to keep the team steady when things get hard.

Hi, I am Jojo Feng, a software engineer with 5 years of professional experience crafting mobile experiences. I started building mobile apps when I was in junior high, it was 2013, back when the Windows Phone was still a thing. I was appealed to the design system of Windows Phone (also because I was not able to afford a MacBook) so I learned C# and XAML after school and started build apps for it. Seeing positive reviews of my apps from users and how they provided values for them motivated me to pursue a career as a mobile engineer, and to this day, I'm still trying my best to bring the best mobile experience to those in need.

Compensation Expectation: $140k and $170k USD gross yearly
Hello Hacker News! I'm a CompSci PhD (AI Multi-Agent systems... doing Agents' research back in 2004, before they were cool haha) and a passionate technologist with a warm spot for building high-impact products and teams.
For over 20 years, I've loved being a hands-on leader in FinTech, building everything from scalable crypto trading desks and AI/ML systems for fraud detection, to migrating entire platforms from monoliths to robust, cloud-native microservices. I thrive on aligning engineering with business goals and tackling complex distributed systems challenges.
Zero-to-One Success: Built foundational tech/AI/ML at a Fintech, enabling the company's Series A. Executive & Scaling Experience: CTO of a crypto trading desk; Head of Engineering, Product or AI/ML at high-growth FinTechs.
I'm actively looking for a remote role, or for an absolute amazing opportunity, I would relocate. I am most comfortable as first/founding engineer, also have been head-of-tec/cto building startup's technology teams. Right now I am most interested in doing AI/LLM work, like really pushing the status quo of both the Engineering and AI/ML. (I would love to get into something like SSI).
A couple of interesting personal projects I'm working on now:
* I trained a couple of Transformers+MoE models to forecast the price of a REIT-like time series in Mexico (called FIBRA in Mexico): They observe heavy cyclical behaviours every quarter that can be isolated and used as information for forecasting. Good results, albeit not 'life changing' yet.
* I'm working on a "live weight adjustment" or "live training" framework for Transformers/MoE models to be able to use new information to modify the weights of the network slightly, without having to re-train the whole model. Kind of like LoRA/QLoRA, but making something usable for a live-running model.
* I am also experimenting with non-chat uses of text/token LLMs. LLMs are text generation machines, which leaving them "running" independently would be akin to our (people's) train of thought that starts since we are born. Having an LLM do that and finding ways give it "perceptors" for inputs (like IRQs in computers) for environment communication could yield interesting results.
Remote: If not in Bend then yes
Willing to relocate: very unlikely unless it's super amazing
Technologies: a lot, over the years, including Erlang, Ruby on Rails, C, Postgres, Tcl, Python, Java, PHP
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dwelton/
I'm looking to do something interesting with good people. I'm thinking something pretty niche that's a real product and not some AI-based deal. Not that I have anything against AI, I kind of just don't want to chase the fad, you know.
The last thing place like that where I worked, iCare (formerly Centervue) makes fundus cameras for eye exams, and it was a really productive environment.
I don't need to chase a really high salary; I'm looking for something fun, challenging and meaningful.
HN isn't likely the place to look for it but I'm also kind of interested in something around housing policy or otherwise branching out from software. I've immensely enjoyed my volunteer work with a local YIMBY group (well, ok, I founded the group).
Software engineer with 8+ years of professional experience, focused on open-source developer tooling & build systems. 5 years at JetBrains. Ideally, I'd like my next job to be in Rust.
I do full-stack product design + development in one. In an agentic era, you don't need huge teams. If you have an idea, an LLM will vibe it most of the way, but won't think through real, human UX—I do. When you want to go all the way, hire me. https://inventbuild.studio
