This project started after I started playing with RC plane and was looking for ways to overlay telemetry data on my video. I realized that there's actually a similar use case but for images instead and pivoted to this idea.
Took around 7 months to build while working full-time. My expectation was around 3 months but as any software project, deadline is just a suggestion. Having a toddler in a pandemic does not help expedite the process :D
Overall I had really fun building this.
For those curious, this is the stack.
Backend - Elixir with LiveView Frontend - Rescript with RescriptReact Deployment - Kubernetes deployed to managed DO kubernetes cluster
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, Flask, React, Electron, Node, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Hadoop Map Reduce
Resume: https://github.com/shulhi/resume/blob/master/shulhi-sapli.pd...

Currently looking for opportunities to work across the stack with other talented engineers on challenging, engaging projects that solve difficult problems. I've given talk during PyCon Malaysia recently about interesting project that I worked on recently. It involved lots of heavy and time consuming data calculation.
My background is in Maths (Uni of Wisconsin-Madison), but I have been coding professionally for a while now.
My current job involves working with Hadoop and ML. Previously, I was a full stack engineer.
I am looking for web development work preferably front-end, I can do back-end as well but prefer front-end work for now.
Fluent in Python, C#, JS and have worked with Rails previously.
I speak fluent English (Educated in US)
I don't have much of a saving at that time, roughly 4-5 months worth of saving and I did one freelance job at that time. I quit without having another job in line. It takes courage and some stupidity to be honest haha but I've got through and managed to secure couple of dev jobs. It depends on you, for the SaaS part I prefer to have some thing going first and quit my job as I've seen friends who've done that quit, and only start after that and failed. I prefer to have things going first and quit. Note that in my country, economic is alright and people are hiring so might want to take that into account as well.
I believe it is probably due to I am a Muslim and I have Indian immigration stamp in my passport. I even have my I-20 endorsed prior to travelling. Even with I-20 proof, I had to convince the officer that I came to the US for education. I also have friends who are also Muslim, randomly searched/detained at the airport and all of them are students too.
Besides that, I enjoyed my stay in the US. Just the immigration part is PITA.
