I have technical depth, good design sensibilities, and I've been building products from scratch at startups or with clients for about 10 years. I've been doing remote contract work for a while now, but I'd like to join a company again and ideally work in-person. Most likely this would be at an early stage startup, but I'm open.
System design is my native mode of thinking. I'm a great person to have around if you're building something where the rules and patterns aren't established and the problems need to be worked through from scratch, whether that's interaction design, architecture or algorithms. I also know React and web technologies pretty well.
I'd been coding for maybe 15yrs before LLMs and agents hit, but I've deeply re-worked how I approach it over the past couple of years. I'm still learning and adapting as the tech develops like everyone else, but working with LLMs and agents is second nature at this point. I've tested the limits, and I've been through the pitfalls.
I have a portfolio here: <a href="https://symbolflux.com" rel="nofollow">https://symbolflux.com --though unfortunately it doesn't have much of anything from my AI-related work yet. Here's a writeup discussing the design of an LLM/agent system I was developing earlier in the year though: <a href="https://symbolflux.com/working-group-foundations.html" rel="nofollow">https://symbolflux.com/working-group-foundations.html
