Senior backend engineer with deep experience in distributed systems, Scala, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling. Strong background in functional programming, CI/CD modernization, and scalable services. US citizen, open to opportunities in the St. Louis area but prefer remote.

I've built web UIs across a few different stacks but prefer backend work. I've served as team lead, tech lead, and mentor. I'm a big proponent of using AI tools for code generation, code review, and automation — anything that makes life easier for developers and end users. I gravitate toward hard problems, especially science-adjacent ones, and toward systems that touch a lot of people. Bonus points for open source.

Coworkers and friends come to me when they're stuck on something gnarly. I write clean code and back it with thorough unit and integration tests, but I stay pragmatic about performance — I've profiled and reworked systems multiple times to cut runtime or memory footprint by 1000x or more.

Senior backend engineer with deep experience in distributed systems, Scala, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling. Strong background in functional programming, CI/CD modernization, and scalable services. Remote strongly preferred, but will consider opportunities in the St. Louis, MO area. US citizen.

I have experience in developing web applications using various UI stacks, but prefer backend development. I have experience as team lead, technical lead, and mentor. I am also a big proponent of leveraging AI tools for code generation/inspection/reasoning, and automation, striving to make life easier for both developers and end-users. I enjoy working on interesting and challenging problems, especially science-related ones, and on systems that impact large numbers of people. Contributing to open source projects would be a huge plus. With my background and skills, I will be an asset to your team.

Coworkers and friends look to me for programming advice and assistance in solving complex problems. I relish challenging projects. I strive to write exceptionally clean code, along with suites of thorough unit and integration tests. I am pragmatic, and bear performance in mind, however. Multiple times I've profiled and analyzed code and design, and identified opportunities to speed up and/or reduce footprint by a factor of 1000x or more.

Veteran software engineer with track record of successful software development using a myriad of technologies. Prefer back-end development using functional programming languages, such as Scala, with emphasis on correctness, robustness, and automation. Relish challenging problems, striving for elegant solutions, yet pragmatic about not overengineering. Am learning Rust, plan to switch to it soon. No PagerDuty is a plus. Remote strongly preferred, but will consider opportunities in the St. Louis, MO area. US citizen.

I've kept mine in a single file HTML with some CSS for years too. After toying with more complicated solutions, decided to stick with the KISS principle. It's at https://github.com/astangl/alexstangl-resume if anyone wants to take a look.

I was actually just reading about Kapton yesterday, and stumbled upon some info about its deterioration being hastened by heat. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapton#Characteristics

In our high school physics class in early 80s, the teacher didn't care for calculators, so you'd have to do your calculations by hand, or learn to use a slide rule. I learned to use a slide rule, along with a buddy. I don't remember others in the class using slide rules, but looking back now, I have a hard time believing everybody else used pencil & paper. So there were probably others.

I think that teacher didn't retire for another 20 years, so he may have had kids in the 21st century still learning to use slide rules for his class.

I checked with Kinesis sales, and they said they’ll be offering the PBT dyesub keycaps, for those of us who’d like to buy them for our old Advantage2 keyboards. No word yet on when they’ll be available though.

Nice idea, thanks wentin!

Would be nice to allow user to paste in arbitrary code text, to reflect more typical code they're used to seeing (and get it to display ligatures, if applicable). Or possibly allow user to specify a source file from GitHub/GitLab to display.

Is this open source?

I had this experience, too, after tech reviewing quite a few books. I quickly got to the point where I didn't want to even look at the final product, because of all the pointed-out flaws that would still remain, and I'd know the book could have been so much better, except that some editor was in a rush, or lazy.

I'm a strong Java developer wanting to transition to Clojure. In 14 years as a senior Java developer, mentor, and team lead, I mastered many associated technology stacks. Coworkers and friends look to me for programming advice and assistance in solving complex problems. I relish challenging projects. I strive to write exceptionally clean code, along with suites of thorough unit and integration tests.

I am looking for an opportunity to do more functional programming, ideally in Clojure. Although I have not used Clojure professionally, I solved all 150 problems on the 4Clojure.com website, and am well on the way to proficiency. I worked the problems from the first two chapters of the classic SICP in both Clojure and Haskell, and am reading Clojure books (and a style guide) to learn good idiomatic Clojure.

Besides using Java in my job, I write a lot of JavaScript, and also automate routine tasks using scripts written in Perl, Ruby, Python, and shell scripts. As part of continually honing my skills, in my free time I experiment with many languages, including Lisp, Erlang, OCaml, Haskell, Scala, and Clojure. Also I have begun Android development in my free time, initially with Eclipse, but now Android Studio. I have Github repos with some Haskell examples, and have solved over 100 Project Euler problems using Haskell. I also maintain several FreeBSD ports and do technical reviews for O'Reilly. Currently I am doing a technical review of an upcoming Clojure book.

I get excited at the prospect of working on interesting and challenging problems, and on systems that impact large numbers of people. Getting to develop in Clojure would also be a big plus. I have experience working remotely, and with my background and abilities, I will be an asset to your team.

Hi Scott,

Site looks good, but didn't bring in anything from LinkedIn. Also, the "blocked" filtering doesn't seem to do anything, and I keep getting random Server Errors when clicking on certain positions.

Do you support any kind of Markdown, or plan to, or to provide links to resume, github, etc?

I look forward to seeing this take off.

Amen. In the market for a new garbage disposal recently, I was looking at the top-of-the-line Insinkerator Evolution Excel model until I saw a note about the delay in power-up being due to "microprocessor initialization". Microprocessor in a garbage disposal?!?

Hmm, it makes you wonder if NSA help and parallel construction are in play here.

Well, their non-failsafe thermostat could let your house freeze and pipes burst, if it happens to fail when you are away. So now they're going to take another reliable basic home item and make it complicated and unreliable?
