SEEKING WORK | Remote/Denver, CO [MT/UTC-6] | Technical Leadership for Scaling Teams | Process Transformation | AI Security
I help Series A-C startups navigate technical chaos and scaling challenges. After 7 years consulting both directly and through agencies (and decades of engineering work), I specialize in organizations experiencing transitions - post-funding growth, leadership changes, or strategic pivots.
What I actually do:
- Transform chaotic delivery through listening-first process design (I discover what YOUR team needs, whether that's Shape Up, incentive realignment, or custom approaches)
- Identify and fix incentive misalignments that sabotage delivery (saved one client $300k+ in unnecessary architecture changes)
- Secure AI tool adoption without the phantom package vulnerabilities most teams miss
- Bridge technical excellence with organizational transformation
My average engagement is ~6 months across 15+ clients.
Recent wins:
- Delivered critical project 17% faster during company layoffs using Shape Up
- Established cross-team coordination that unblocked a multiyear replatforming effort
- Prevented costly microservices migration by identifying vendor's misaligned incentives
Technical foundation: Ruby/Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, comprehensive DevOps (AWS/Terraform/Docker), AI security expertise. But I'm hired for my ability to see why your technical initiatives keep failing and fix the root causes.
I thrive in chaos. If your organization is at an inflection point and needs someone who can deliver immediate technical value while building lasting capabilities, let's talk.
SEEKING WORK | Remote | CET Location: around 46/14
In past 20 years did many different projects, mostly worked with teams 1-5. 60% of projects were related to sport and TV, for example recording and archiving thousands of videos, creating encoding and playback pipeline, rest was various other fields. I was jumping between leading, architecting, designing, programming and things in-between :)
I have most experience mwith C# (web services, aspnet, razor, ...) also desktop apps (WinForms, WPF, Avalonia), JS/Typescript (mostly for gui, I enjoyed mithril and now SolidJS). I also did some c++ for various small integrations (for example some plugin for Godot, some ffmpeg. Last year I focused heavily on Rust, and created user space network bonding protocol, now audio intercom. I mostly worked with GPC 70% , AWS 20%, other (like Hetzner) 10%.
I like to make GUI/backends that makes sense, are easy to understand (test with users) and performant/fast. Also to last years, with minimum dependencies. I also have experience with live events setup for broadcast of events, have experience with networks.
I also did tons of remote support with people around the world, also know how to use this information to make better programs (or design...).

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, USA, backend engineer
I am a backend expert, having built and maintained mission critical, low latency and highly available systems for several companies over the last 10 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly. AWS preferred but not required (I hold a variety of certs, available here: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8)
You will like working with me because I:
* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done
Concrete examples:
* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions!
* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.
* replatformed dozens of complex quant jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund (~$1B AUM), vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months, including refactoring for fit. This was mission critical cannot-fail stuff and required extensive proof of correctness.
* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
SEEKING WORK | REMOTE | Dev, DevOps, Security | Location: The Netherlands
Willing to relocate: no, but willing to travel/visit. I'm flexible with working hours, I usually work with clients from either Western Europe or the USA.
I do dev/devops/security, usually for startups or scale-ups or other small orgs with limited resources, and I've been doing that for 15+ years. So, if you:
* Have a slow web application that’s often down?
* Want to improve security and don’t know where to start?
* Have a legacy system that needs to be replaced?
* Are considering an acquisition but not sure about the technical side?
I can help with that. For example, in the past I have:
* Massively improved performance and reliability for a data visualization platform.
* Led a large effort to improve security for a cybersecurity SaaS.
* Built a micropayments system for a prominent media startup.
* Rebuilt an aging e-learning platform from scratch for a GDPR compliance SaaS.
* Conducted technical due diligence for acquisitions.
Programming Strengths: Data Structures and Algorithms, Data Engineering, Programming Language Theory, Type Theory, No-Code, AI&Prompt Engineering, Complex & Unusual Domains (Healthcare, Fintech, Music, Arts, Sciences)
Other Skills: Leading Teams & Managing Projects, Productizing LLMs, Managing Interview Pipelines, Architecting & Implementing Greenfield Solutions, Education & Team Growth, Leading Communication and Coordination Between Stakeholders Across Teams and Organizational Silos
CV: Available Upon Request
Email: poetic.artifice@gmail.com
I am a seasoned (>13 years experience) full-stack staff-to-principal-level software engineer/consultant specializing in the backend, systems architecture, AI, platform engineering, internal tools, prototyping, and data engineering. In addition to strong programming and architectural skills, I'm a force multiplier for any team in either role through the three T's -- teaching, talking, and tooling. I also hold a US patent in the AI space.
In the past, I've taught a number of scientists and students to code in python; I've led and managed a number of high-impact engineering teams of up to 12; and pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech. >10% of all medicare applications and millions of individuals currently flow through pioneering no-code systems I conceived and built and have ran in production for over a decade.
More recently, I've built a no-code automated form-filler and a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for both minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are far too large for existing context window inputs or outputs using a novel, patented process that I invented; and applied these tools to various contracted projects requiring analysis and and cross-checking of information and other forms of integrity across textual and video/audio corpus data in a variety of domains (fiction and non-fiction).
I am also an improvisational pianist, published poet, and I've created novel algorithms and tools for studying and composing both music and poetry, which I have given a talk on at a recent functional programming conference.
I have extensive experience working for and running startups, software consulting shops, with some mid-sized company engineering experience as well; these give me a unique insight into speaking with customers and internal stake-holders, translating between engineering and other departments, gathering requirements, aligning stake-holders across departments on a vision and attainable timeline, and architecting/building/taking ownership over significant internal and customer-facing areas of responsibility.
If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out.

PHP/JS/TS Development, Extremely competitive rates available.
I build new projects and revitalize legacy code. I work mostly with Laravel and React/Inertia or Livewire.
I integrate modern tools pragmatically, adding real-time features via Websockets (Laravel Reverb etc) and AI capabilities like RAG for context-aware search and content generation.
I develop methodically – implementing tests for new features and maintaining clear documentation while keeping sharp focus on shipping tangible results. Through proactive communication, we'll collaboratively define the sweet spot between code quality and delivery pace.

* AWS security architecture reviews – design and remediation guidance
* ISO 27001 gap analysis & roadmap – prep for certification
* Risk assessments (NIST CSF, ISO 27005, CIS Controls)
* Cloud security program build-outs
Who I work with:
* SaaS / Internet companies scaling quickly on AWS

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, USA, backend engineer
I am a backend expert, having built and maintained mission critical, low latency and highly available systems for several companies over the last 10 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly. AWS preferred but not required (I hold a variety of certs, available here: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8)
You will like working with me because I:
Concrete examples:* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions!
* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.
* replatformed dozens of complex quant jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund (~$1B AUM), vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months, including refactoring for fit. This was mission critical cannot-fail stuff and required extensive proof of correctness.
* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE | Dev, DevOps, Security | Location: The Netherlands
Willing to relocate: no, but willing to travel/visit. I'm flexible with working hours, I usually work with clients from either Western Europe or the USA.
I do dev/devops/security, usually for startups or scale-ups or other small orgs with limited resources, and I've been doing that for 15+ years. So, if you:
* Have a slow web application that’s often down?
* Want to improve security and don’t know where to start?
* Have a legacy system that needs to be replaced?
* Are considering an acquisition but not sure about the technical side?
I can help with that. For example, in the past I have:
* Massively improved performance and reliability for a data visualization platform.
* Led a large effort to improve security for a cybersecurity SaaS.
* Built a micropayments system for a prominent media startup.
* Rebuilt an aging e-learning platform from scratch for a GDPR compliance SaaS.
* Conducted technical due diligence for acquisitions.

I am a seasoned (>13 years experience) full-stack staff-to-principal-level software engineer/consultant specializing in the backend, systems architecture, AI, platform engineering, internal tools, prototyping, and data engineering. In addition to strong programming and architectural skills, I'm a force multiplier for any team in either role through the three T's -- teaching, talking, and tooling. I also hold a US patent in the AI space.
In the past, I've taught a number of scientists and students to code in python; I've led and managed a number of high-impact engineering teams of up to 12; and pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech. >10% of all medicare applications and millions of individuals currently flow through pioneering no-code systems I conceived and built and have ran in production for over a decade.
More recently, I've built a no-code automated form-filler and a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for both minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are far too large for existing context window inputs or outputs using a novel, patented process that I invented; and applied these tools to various contracted projects requiring analysis and and cross-checking of information and other forms of integrity across textual and video/audio corpus data in a variety of domains (fiction and non-fiction).
I am also an improvisational pianist, published poet, and I've created novel algorithms and tools for studying and composing both music and poetry, which I have given a talk on at a recent functional programming conference.
I have extensive experience working for and running startups, software consulting shops, with some mid-sized company engineering experience as well; these give me a unique insight into speaking with customers and internal stake-holders, translating between engineering and other departments, gathering requirements, aligning stake-holders across departments on a vision and attainable timeline, and architecting/building/taking ownership over significant internal and customer-facing areas of responsibility.
If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out.
