PHP/JS/TS Development, Extremely competitive rates available.

I build new projects and revitalize legacy code. I work mostly with Laravel and React/Inertia or Livewire.

I integrate modern tools pragmatically, adding real-time features via Websockets (Laravel Reverb etc) and AI capabilities like RAG for context-aware search and content generation.

I develop methodically – implementing tests for new features and maintaining clear documentation while keeping sharp focus on shipping tangible results. Through proactive communication, we'll collaboratively define the sweet spot between code quality and delivery pace

I'm interested in machine learning and data science roles. I have expertise in machine learning and statistics having completed a PhD applying Bayesian inference to difficult scientific modelling problems using deep learning. I also have multiple years of experience working in startups as an engineer and data scientist across a range of industries.

Builder and tech lead who still loves to code, looking for a small team with big ambitions.

Hello. I am a Senior backend engineer with 10+ years building Django-based systems and data pipelines.

Most recently, I designed and implemented an LLM-assisted data pipeline that converted security bulletins into actionable intelligence for an enterprise cyber security product.

I enjoy working with Django, previously migrated live auth systems with zero downtime and took SaaS products from prototype to production.

I have founded a startup and grown the business from zero to profitable exit.

I'm seeking a senior backend, data engineering, of founding engineer role at a stable, product-focused company. I'm strong in API design, data modeling, and production AI integrations.

Please reach out if you would like to chat. I look forward to meeting with you.

I'm a CS/Math student at Northeastern, former Specialist at Apple, and builder whose interests range from personal AI assistants (I built Garvis, an AI assistant for myself), to fraud detection (for which I built VaultOS, a fraud detection algorithm and financial dashboard for automating savings), to social interaction dynamics (I'm building HuskyPortals, a local 5G social experiment connecting dorm lounges through real-time portals at Northeastern). I'm looking for internships/co-ops in systems, backend, and ML engineering. I love working with infra and reasoning systems.

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!
