6+ years shipping full-stack products, doing ML since 2018 before the LLM hype, maintainer of 100+ NixOS packages because I believe software should actually work.

  Location: Berlin, Germany
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: London/UK, SF/NYC/US
  Technologies: TypeScript, Python, React, SvelteKit, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, 
                PyTorch, TensorFlow, Effect-TS, Nix, Emacs

Currently Senior SWE at an early-stage cybersecurity startup where I built the entire frontend platform from scratch and architect complex web applications with heavy real-time data processing across distributed, user-controlled nodes. Before LLMs were cool, I was doing deep theoretical ML research (Inverse Reinforcement Learning) with an MS in Math.

Why I'm different: I single-handedly shipped our main product frontend from scratch, then scaled the team by hiring 3+ engineers - the kind of 0-to-1 execution that early-stage startups need. I tackle ambiguous problems with unconventional solutions, build tools that don't exist yet, and code across the full stack. Deep into Nix/NixOS and Emacs, heavy open source contributor.

Looking for senior/staff roles with real user impact, significant technical ownership, and complex problems to solve. Want passionate colleagues who love their craft and maintain their dotfiles with pride.
