Location: bay area (prefer eastbay)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: C (embedded/DSP), JS (both frontend and node), Python (DS/ML instrumentation, not an expert)

I've played with Verilog, Rust and Go enough to be dangerous.

Résumé/CV: Spent the last few years contracting, looking for fulltime work in order to start a family. 10YoE mostly in startups in the bay area, did a longer stint writing internal tools at an ISP.

Recent projects include:

- designed a ground up system for impactor tracking at 40khz

- ui for wind turbine data monitoring (getting a PLC to put a user-friendly UI on the network)

- tool for previewing LED control software in the browser that lets the user live-code embedded C and see a preview of the LEDs in realtime

- taught my plotter to do full color watercolor (brush tip dynamics compensation, a bunch of complicated color math)

- built a local vLLM RAG assistant (who hasn't) and a photo -> pixel art fantasy portrait pipeline, familiar with finetuning LLMs and diffusion models

My ideal job would be as an early engineer somewhere that does hardware, I love writing embedded C and I have plenty of experience with frontend web dev, so I think my ideal position is somewhere where both skillsets can be utilized. I'd be happy to work on anywhere with a decent culture and interesting problems to be solved.



Awesome email
