I've been a pragmatic software engineer for 15 years, and have developed robust solutions for both the frontend and backend. I've largely been part of small teams that built a data warehouse ETL utility which processed billions of customer records nightly for a dozen Fortune 500 companies; a distributed document store with terabytes of historical data, an ISO consistency requirement, and a strict availability guarantee; and a service-oriented platform managing internal business data worth millions of dollars in revenue. I also have experience leading, mentoring, and training developers.
I'm interested in large data sets, web services, and distributed systems, but I'm willing to branch out into new domains. I recently reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub. I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.
My GitHub projects include 700+ solutions to Project Euler (in 12 languages!), a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, a simple performance monitor, a beanstalkd library, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and documentation for Rust.
