  • Location: Rzeszów, Poland

    Remote: Yes — remote only (~EU hours or async)

    Willing to relocate: No

    Technologies: Python, PostgreSQL, FastAPI; LLMs & embeddings, semantic search, self-hosted open-weights models (on-prem, offline); deterministic data/ML pipelines; PDF/document extraction, OCR, IoT, time-series, logs → decision-useful information

    Trustworthy output from untrustworthy data. I build systems that catch what's silently wrong — a dead sensor nobody noticed, contradictory records, a garbled scan, a confidently-wrong model — so it surfaces as a flag today, not a six-month catastrophe.

    I use LLMs where they earn their place (development, meaning, embeddings, plain-language access to jargon-locked data) and keep them out of decisions and the data flow, which stay deterministic and verifiable. An LLM can help you find the answer; it can't be the answer.

    Senior systems engineer, multiple AI cycles of judgment on what survives the hype and where it breaks. Currently turning messy Polish legal PDFs into a correctness-checked graph — the hard part is the verification, not the AI. Previously I built a legislative-notification service that ran autonomously in production for over three years before I retired it. I've written about where AI coding agents actually fail and why verification is the real work: https://walat.eu

    Best fit when: correctness matters, the data is real-world-messy, and you want someone who names what doesn't work and why.

    I build and repair small business systems and automations. Recent work includes HubSpot support-ticket classification and data enrichment, candidate onboarding and shift-coverage automation with FastAPI, Twilio and ElevenLabs, and PDF-to-Excel transaction extraction with balance reconciliation.

    Available for short fixed-scope freelance work or contract work. For a first project, I am happy to agree on a small deliverable and acceptance checks, then take payment after acceptance.

    Senior engineer, 13+ years. Startups, Amazon, Blue Origin, Anduril, defense and robotics autonomy.

    I was the key engineer on Blue Origin's company-wide self-service HPC platform, used by programs including BE-4. Before that I spent five years at Amazon on the global Middle Mile platform. At Anduril I led a small team on Dive-XL mission-planning controls. Most recently I built bare-metal GPU CI for robotics autonomy, on hardware that cloud runners cannot touch.

    I am seeking senior or staff IC and leadership work. Available now.

  • Location: Tbilisi, Georgia

    Remote: Yes

    Willing to relocate: Yes

    Technologies: JavaScript, TypeScript, Cloudflare Workers, LLM integration, React.

    Resume/CV: kol3x.com

    Е-mаil: hn-september at kol3x dot com

    I started as a fullstack JS engineer and grew into product development at my last company. I owned the ingestion layer - collecting 100k relevant messages/month from 4 platforms through a dirt-cheap serverless back-end on Cloudflare Workers.

    We worked with LLMs deeply, especially in code generation research. I was part of a small team developing SpecGEM, a fine-tuned model that generates Cloudflare Workers code from JSDoc comments and is designed to outperform mainstream LLMs at this narrow task. https://dn.institute/research/ai/specgem/

    Last month I released a self-hosted LLM assistant on Cloudflare Workers that predictably compounds context across conversations. https://github.com/kol3x/pawmc

    Looking for a remote role where I can own work end-to-end. Stack-wise I'm strongest on Cloudflare Workers, JavaScript/TypeScript, practical LLM integration, React.
