SEEKING WORK | Romania | Remote only

Ex-Google engineer, 10+ years in software, last 2+ focused fully on GenAI. I’m looking for consulting and hands-on work, not just giving advice.

I help teams integrate LLMs into real-world workflows. Comfortable working across the stack (Python, React), from quick prototypes to production systems.

Past work includes agentic workflows, eval pipelines, prompt frameworks, GPT-powered tools, and full-stack AI products.

I prefer working directly with stakeholders. Big fan of startups.

Re:Ask HN: Just lost my job, where to go from here? on Monday September 28, 2020 @11:48AM (#24617925)
Have you considered freelancing? You can probably use your existing skills to get your first projects.
1) Not charging enough. This is harder than it sounds. First time I significantly increased my price was when I didn't want any extra work, so I asked for double my rate. After closing that deal I started aiming higher.

2) Not creating content sooner. There hasn't been one thing that influenced my career as much as my blog - If there would be one thing I would do different it would be this: I would have started blogging earlier.
