1. I am Serverless adtech coder.

2. I only do machine learning geared towards adtech

3. I can't be hired for php wordpress development because i charge way too much for it $500/hr

3. I won't bill for building Electron app either.

4. If someone wants to build ad tech platform in C# or Java, i will pass. I only code in Go, JavaScript and Rust. I'll not learn any other language!

In the adtech area, there are only 20-30 guys capable of building whole ad tech platform A to Z from scratch.

They don't have any shortage of jobs.

But some guy doing wordpress thing can't be hired to for adtech. Got it?

Obviously, i always keep complaining that there are just not enough coders in adtech who know adtech well!

If you have some extra contracts that you don't have the capacity to complete and could use some extra hands, let me know. I would love to lend a hand and get some hands-on experience with what you do. You could pay me $100 and keep the $400 an hour for training me. If you want to discuss this further, my email is in my profile.
