SEEKING WORK | Data Scientist / Consultant | Canada/Remote Worldwide

I'm a data scientist with over 20 years of experience specializing in solving hair on fire problems. I thrive on gnarly problems AI can't complete even if walked through the problem step-by-step. Often it involves getting hands on or talking with staff to find the data that's really needed.

My past work includes:

   - Saving a German automaker from lemon law recalls.
   - Helping a major cloud vendor predict server failures to enable load shedding.
   - Real-time on demand routing logistics work .
   - Airline flight delay forecasting.
   - Oil & Gas forecasting.
   - Shipping piracy risk.
   - Wound identification and classification.
   - Revenue optimization, persona identification and dynamic "risk-on/risk-off" risk management for ARM.

Things I'm unwilling to work on:

   - Gambling.
   - Ads/Surveillance.
   - Payday loans/rent-to-own.

Most recently built Ginkgo Bioworks' ML model serving platform and multi-tenant GKE infrastructure from scratch (joined via the Reverie Labs acquisition). Before that, was sole infra engineer at Reverie — built their entire AWS platform from the first commit, ran EKS clusters, and supported GPU workloads for computational drug discovery.

Looking for early-stage teams solving hard problems in interesting domains. I value a culture of trust, ownership, and room to build.

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.

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.

We’re a small group of senior engineers who help non‑technical AI founders take fragile MVPs to production‑ready systems. We come in as fractional founding engineers: review code, fix architecture, ship.

Hiring: Senior Consulting Engineers (part‑time/contract)

Looking for experienced engineers who: - Enjoy advising non‑technical founders - Are comfortable reviewing AI‑generated code (Next.js, TypeScript, Python, major cloud providers) - Have shipped production systems end‑to‑end and can explain technical trade‑offs to non‑engineers - Have actually used AI tools in their own side projects or daily workflow - Can handle a mix of architecture reviews, roadmap planning, and hands‑on implementation

Details: - Part‑time/contract to start (typical 5–20 hours/week, flexible) - Fully remote with meaningful overlap with US daytime - Work directly with early‑stage AI founders on short, high‑leverage projects

Compensation: market‑rate contracting, typically 100–200/hr depending on experience and scope Apply: Email [email protected] with “HN – Human” in the subject, and a brief note on your background, availability (hours/week), and the kind of work you enjoy most.

If you are curious my greatest project is WTX, a fast WebSocket framework and Database client that gave me a lot of insights about performance and code architecture. See https://github.com/c410-f3r/wtx.

For more information, take a look at my CV (https://c410-f3r.github.io/curriculum.pdf).

Most interested in observability platforms, data infrastructure, and AI engineering broadly — anywhere AI is sharpening human judgment rather than displacing it. Currently building out infrastructure tooling in Go using agentic workflows (Claude Code).

Works across the stack — each layer has its own problems worth solving. Publishes on engineering decision frameworks and AI-augmented development workflows.

Pursuing CKA. Not interested in defense, crypto, or gambling.

No drama. I don't want to run your company or lord over a tribe. The best fit is a situation where you need something done, you set the direction and constraints, then I bring you options to get it done and deliver it.

Founding fullstack engineer with 2-3 years of experience building and shipping SaaS features end-to-end. Looking for a fullstack or backend role with ownership, strong engineering standards, and room to grow into senior level. I like to get things from 0 to 1.

  GitHub: https://github.com/david-allison

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.

Senior software engineer with 5+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems, CDN/edge infrastructure, and developer-facing platforms. Currently at Disney working on the DTC media platform powering ESPN, Disney+, and Hulu - designing intent-based CDN policy controls (with Z3 formal verification), optimizing multi-CDN traffic mix, and integrating with Akamai, Fastly, and CloudFront for live events. Previously a founding engineer at a YC-backed messaging startup (Texts) and ran my own infrastructure-heavy SaaS for several years. Comfortable across the stack but happiest deep in backend/infra work - distributed systems, networking, performance, and tooling that makes other engineers faster. Currently pursuing an M.S. in CS at Georgia Tech (Computing Systems, 4.0).

I build and ship production GenAI systems in pharma (R&D + TechOps), leading a team of 4. My work spans data pipelines, backend systems, and cloud infrastructure to deliver production-ready AI applications.

Recent work:

Report generation framework (unstructured + structured data → compliant reports) Processes PDFs, documents, and structured datasets to generate consistent, audit-ready reports GxP-compliant intelligent QMS collaborator (~40% faster QA workflows)

Most of my work is in regulated environments, so I focus on traceability, observability, and building reliable AI systems.
