15+ years building and running production software, currently a Team Lead / Software
Architect at a UK fintech/consumer-services company. The work I actually get pulled into most,
beyond the job title: taking over a service after it's already broken and rebuilding it so it
stops breaking — production incident response and re-architecture, unofficial but real, no
ticket tracker needed, just the git history.
Ten months ago I grew a team from 1 to 7 — hired and onboarded everyone myself, rebuilt the
codebase, got real end-to-end acceptance-test coverage running with the whole team's buy-in.
Right now I'm deep in agentic AI/LLM systems as an engineer, not a researcher (there's a PhD in
Physics and a published NLP/Transformers paper behind me, but I'm 20 years into building
software, not chasing a research title). Currently building: a local-embeddings market-signal
tool (Ollama, cosine similarity, zero API cost) that mines sources and ranks them against a
role description I wrote myself; a tool-calling agent that turns unstructured regulatory text
into a deterministic tax-calculation pipeline.
Looking for agentic AI/LLM engineering, technical architecture, or production-reliability
roles — genuine employment or named-delivery consulting.

Looking for C or C++ roles. (or similar). GameDev and Embedded at my first choices but any work with these technologies is fine. I am hoping to find work where I am NOT firefighting or replacing someone that quit. I want time to do onboarding properly, learn the job, and do a great job.
My wife gave birth recently and I don't have nearby relatives to help, so I prefer remote jobs right now.
I also did DevRel in the past and recently interviewed some DevRel positions, made me realize I am also suitable for that and willing to work with that.
I have a lot of experience with iOS and Android, but been some time since I worked with these.

Full Stack and AI engineer. A few things I've built recently:
Repo Surgeon: an autonomous codebase-modernization pipeline (Python, FastAPI, Docker) that researches real breaking changes, runs dependency upgrades and security fixes inside a sandbox, and verifies its own generated tests with mutation testing before merging anything. Validated end to end at 46/46 passing tests.
Quill8: a hybrid-retrieval AI assistant for investment professionals, built with FastAPI, LangGraph, and pgvector, combining dense vector search with full-text search through Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
Founding engineer at StrotED, where I built the platform end to end, backend (Node.js, PostgreSQL) through frontend (React, TailwindCSS), for an employment platform with around 2,000 real users.
Co-founded Anchorate, a governance platform for enterprise AI agents that stops risky actions before they cause damage and escalates ambiguous cases to a multi-model panel for a verifiable audit trail.
Open to full-time, internship, or freelance work.

20+ years of database and backend work, PHP/SQL first, Python and AI pipelines these days. My specialty is messy data: supplier catalogs, PDF price lists, scans and product photos in, clean structured records out, every value traced to its source. I built and run two live SaaS products that do exactly that, so you can try the work before you talk to me. Looking for remote contract work, fixed scope preferred: AI/data pipelines, catalog and OCR systems, product data cleanup, Shopify/WooCommerce integrations. One founder, no agency, I do the work myself. Flexible hours, happy to overlap with your timezone.
I'm a Software Engineer with 15 years of entertainment industry experience, specializing in full-stack development, complex media pipelines, and cloud infrastructure. Lately I have been building SaaS products like https://timelinetranslate.com which enables video editors to easily create translations of their content.
Open to senior/lead engineering roles using AI.

Senior/staff backend & systems engineer.
I design, build, and own backend services and data models end to end, and go as deep as the system needs — down to production infra and build tooling (recent: GCP VM→Kubernetes and CI/CD unification). At my best designing systems for the failure modes most people only meet in production, and building the tooling that makes a whole team faster. Full-stack when a job needs it, but my value is backend systems design with real ownership. B2B contract, remote in the EU.
I prefer to use AI not to increase throughput but to dramatically increase the quality.
