Greetings fellow hackers!
I'm a high-agency, high-energy, eclectic, serious, fun, creative techie who's done lots of things at BigCos and startups. My happy place is working hard with smart people on something big and complex that makes the world better.
After several years in the consulting/contracting game, I am looking for an ambitious team to join. Maybe yours!
A few of my spinning plates right now: Golang inference worker, two Expo apps in TS/RN, Python data pipeline, AWS IoT for HVAC-adjacent devices, shared FFI components in Rust, and a HealthTech web app in TS/React.
Interested? Drop me a line, and if you're in the Bay Area let's grab a beverage!

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.

My focus has been on browser automation and building browser agents since 2018, with 13 years of enterprise experience building dynamic data user interfaces for web and mobile. I have experience working at both medium 130 person AI companies and small, fast-moving 7 person teams wearing many different hats, which I prefer. I have been instrumental in taking multiple companies from 0 to 1, both as a consultant and as a full-time employee in media, real estate, marketing, streaming services, education, and fintech.

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.
I'm an experienced developer, visionary and researcher. Reach out to me and I will strengthen your team with my experience and knowledge.

I'm a generalist software engineer with most of my experience (14YOE professional) in backend, platform, infra, and DevOps stuff. I'm currently employed and love where I am and what I do, but I intend to relocate to the EU in 2028 and my job (federal contracting) is incompatible with that goal.Location: Ohio Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No (but see below) Technologies: Kubernetes / Terraform / Ansible / Serverless / AWS / Rust / Bash / PHP / Python / JS / TS / C / Clojure / etc, happy to learn more Résumé/CV: https://ndouglas.github.io/resume/resume.pdf Email: See résumé Site: https://darkdell.net/I'm very interested in deep learning, formal verification, and compliance automation, but also artificial life, complexity science, robotics, cybernetics (as in Beer), computational social sciences, network science, transit, city planning, etc.
I use Claude Code happily at work, as directed, and seen significant (though not unqualified) productivity gains. I've used it to varying degrees on different personal projects. I'm avoiding it now on personal projects (to retain and build skill). I can work anywhere along that spectrum.
I enjoy learning about what other people are working on, so even if you're not hiring or not interested in hiring _me_, I'd love to connect. I've had some genuinely transformative conversations with people I've met on HN, and I'd love to have more.
*EDIT*: I mean "I'd love to connect" IF you're not just trying to sell me something - especially your shitty AI résumé- or interview-prep services, you hacks.
- As a side note for anyone who sees this, I received an unsolicited email from "Harold Anderson" (harold@signalvapor.org) but signed "Chris", trying to get me to buy an AI service (nspire.ai).
nspire.ai 's company page [1] lists as their head of sales "Chris Kinnard". Perhaps this is coincidental. Perhaps nspire.ai, and their head of sales, has nothing better to do than to spam people. Doesn't say much for the quality of their product.
Anyway, I wanted to share this scummy, shitty, spammy behavior, just in case anyone now or in the future happens to Google™ Theo, nspire.ai, AI career coaches, etc.

Technologies: Full stack web dev for 15+ years in many forms. In recent years I've been focused on game development projects using Babylon/WebGL and working with C++ & Go server-side (MMO servers). Many years of project and product management as well.
I have some cool projects! See my personal site for email and some of those projects:
Coolest released one is probably https://www.idlequest.net/, which is an idle-game web-based version of classic EverQuest, complete with its original 3D graphics in-browser and a real-time MMO server! Had up to 70 players online at the same time a month or two ago.
About to release my biggest project, which is a full reverse engineering and re-implementation of the 2007 MMORPG "Vanguard".
Looking largely for product engineering positions, or project/product management style work. Have done both and enjoy both a lot. Open to contracting or full-time.
Email/LinkedIn/GitHub is on my website!

I'm building AILedger (ailedger.dev) — tamper-evident chain of custody for every AI inference an enterprise's product makes, aimed at the EU AI Act Article 12 / Article 79 compliance question (enforcement August 2, 2026). Pre-revenue, in early customer conversations. Public Rust work at github.com/jakejjoyner.
Primarily seeking short-term contract work (4-12 weeks, ~20-30 hr/week, $150/hr) to fund AILedger's runway. Open to fractional-engineer engagements. Will consider full-time only if exceptionally aligned with the AILedger thesis — compliance / AI infrastructure / audit / Cloudflare-edge stack.
Strongest fit:
- Audit / compliance-adjacent infrastructure: tamper-evident logging, evidence collection, SOC 2 / AI Act prep, cryptographic provenance.
- Cloudflare Workers / edge compute / API proxying — including AI inference middleware (cost metering, prompt-injection defense, observability).
- Rust greenfield, or Rust-meets-TypeScript stacks.
- Full-stack product work where correctness matters more than ship-speed.

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.

Just about done finishing up a CS master's degree, and looking for opportunities starting in the late summer or fall. My background is in programming language theory (particularly logic/relational programming), so would be very happy to work with functional languages, compilers, automated reasoning, and/or formal verification. I also have a background in music (I'm a published composer!) so particularly interested in audio/music-related stuff as well. Open both to software enginering roles and research positions (anyone looking for new PhD/doctoral students?) I've also done full-stack work across databases/cloud infrastructure/web APIs/frontends, and independently released a commercial music production plugin (Pivotuner, more info on my website).

I just got laid off by Cloudflare, looking for a position doing infrastructure & backend work. I spent my time at Cloudflare working on the Waiting Room, Health Checks, and Load Balancing products, three distributed systems which crunch global data to make decisions globally. I'm happy to move down-stack as well (e.g. to systems programming, especially in Rust).
