I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.
The primary service I offer is managed Site Reliability Engineering in high to medium ambiguity environments where the client would prefer not to micromanage day to day development. If you have systems (or need systems built) that must firmly meet, and prove they meet, their Service Level Agreements: I can help.
If the work requires a team, I will bring a team. If it is a one-person job, that is also fine. Your goals are my priorities. My rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver.
Concrete examples (scratch built systems/teams, where I was sole or lead engineer):
* built and deployed an AWS Lambda architecture replatforming portfolio management for a ~3 yo startup hedge fund
* built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
* built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.
