I'm a (primarily) backend developer who specializes in high-performance realtime streaming. I spent many years working in the tech industry as Head of Product for companies such as Flickr and Bitly, but left a few years ago to concentrate on my own side projects. I am the guy behind open-source projects such as Emojitracker.com and LOLcommits. I am looking for PT work (15-20 hrs/week max) while I continue working on my side projects.
Specialities: I cut my teeth in Ruby, but lately have been spending a lot of my time in Elixir/BEAM and Go, as well as a bit of NodeJS. I have a ton of experience with the Twitter streaming API and Emoji encoding issues (more than any human ever should reasonably have, probably). I have experience both in leading large cross-functional teams as well as bringing my own projects to market independently as the sole developer.
Ideally looking for interesting projects that map very closely to my areas of expertise. (I do also do product strategy consulting and advise startups but I'm posting here because I'm hoping to write some code!).
