Want to help fight COVID-19?

Here's us: https://curativeinc.com/ Here's me: maddox@curativeinc.com

We do testing, all aspects. They're oral swabs, which greatly reduces the barrier for many people who could get tested: They don't want a swab so far up their nose it feels like it's scraping their brain.

We build the software for the full-stack of testing from managing drivethrough sites with healthcare workers, full lab operations, results delivery to patients, integrations with cities and state health departments.

We're now handling hundreds of thousands of tests. We'll probably need at least 100x that to re-open the country with confidence.

Hit me up: maddox@curativeinc.com with questions/comments/anything.

Software team all remote, good pay + equity and benefits, satisfying work, and I love the people I work with.

Some recent (public) things:

sounds really good. I am curious, what tech stack do you use?

Typescript/React <-> Flask/Python <-> postgres + redis <-> terraform

Also building out a data science team—idk what the preferred stack is there.

what's the worst way to contact you?

This is a great question. I'll use this as an icebreaker in the future.

Let's see what Reddit says.

Call from an unfamiliar number, don't leave a message. Keep redialing until they pick up.

When they eventually pick up, play back the sound you hear when you accidentally dial into a fax line.

Contact me on Google Wave.

Was it all of a sudden or were you guys told this was coming from the higher ups? How did they manage it in terms of benefits, severances etc?

The info about layoffs leaked about 3 weeks ago, which was messed up.

Overall though the severence is healthy, so I'll be plenty ok while I find another gig.

Did you get good severance? Hope you did.

If you can afford it, I’d suggest taking a break.

Yeah severance is pretty good. I'll try to get a gig quick and then push off the start date a bit.

You should add your email address or website to your profile, so people can contact you.

Honestly don’t understand why people don’t have their email address public. Spam filtering is so good these days that this is all upside and no downside.

How did you end up in the States?

It's a long tail starting back in the days of my great great great great grandfather. Back in the mother country he was tired of the same old same old and decided to travel to the New World to start anew. 300 years later I was born here :)
