Hi, I'm Dan.
Location: San Francisco | Remote | No relocation
Technologies: node, react, vue, swift, python, mongo and open to learning more.
Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BcGPFWgpamRXXBXXxMSXHxlrvKE6eH2I
Former founder, both iOS apps I've worked on were featured on the front page of the App Store globally, used by 300k+ people
3 yrs as a full stack product engineer and 2 yr managing engineers
Strong desire to level up as an engineer, and very receptive to feedback
My highest personal value is awareness, which extrapolates into every part of my personal and professional life - I'm a mindfulness nerd.
You're looking for someone with strong systems design and architecture experience. Most of my experience is working within a pre-existing architecture (front and back end) and building front-end features and their corresponding end-points
I don't have experience working with an engineering team larger than 4 people
You don't have capacity to have a pair programming session once a week with me to help me level-up as an engineer
You're looking for a senior engineer
You expect the engineer to be highly proficient with SQL or GraphQL vs. learning on the job
You haven't raised a series-a yet (or on a strong trajectory to do so)4 years ago by alooPotato
What a great idea to include the "why not hire X". It makes everything so much more efficient for everyone.

Agreed. Iâve seen Levels Health in their recruiting process do this and some founders in pitch decks.

"You haven't raised a series-a yet". I am curious, can you elaborate on this one?

Probably a nice way of saying "You cannot afford to pay me well" . I am just guessing.

Or simply that one doesn't want to work for a company powered by hopes & dreams while praying for more cash. That early stage stock grant doesn't pay that SF rent.

Even with a raised round, the units that you are denominating the calculation is months. Months of life before your company dies (you canât raise debt if you canât raise equity, simplistically).
Depending on your risk appetite, family factors and time in life, it seems perfectly reasonable to signal a better value alignment. He/she could take a (letâs say gigantic) equity stake in a pre-seed entity and low cash, in which case itâs be an extremely expensive employee with no sensitivity around the round or stage of company.
Also, and sorry for belaboring this, but having a round starts the âclockâ; personally that pressure to do X or raise Y or sell/IPO is not a feature but a bug, and for others that common goal orientation and team alignment might be really valued.
Just guessing :)

Iâm looking for a startup that has de-risked their product and distribution. Series-A is usually a signal of that.

I don't know much about startups or how they are funded. Can you please elaborate it in simpler terms?

Your format might become viral (not the best wording since last year I guess), I'll borrow it.
> I don't have experience working with engineering team larger than 4 people
I've yet to see a team of 5 who have the exact same responsibilities unless it's a support.

I want to be hired!
Location: West coast Canada. Remote: Yes. Relocate: No.
Technologies: Python, Tensorflow/Keras/pytorch, spark, AWS, kafka, HDFS, logstash, etc. A whole host of technologies over 20 year career.
email in profile.
I'm an experienced Data scientist, who's worked on a bunch of interesting projects. With Covid I've come to realize I need to work in public more often. So an ideal fit would be a small/medium company with hair on fire problems that need solving.
What sort of problems do I like?
Well a Taxi company in latam hired me to built a fleet maintenance system. It predicted and scheduled preventative maintenance to reduce wear and tear and avoid breakdowns. We also identified the leading cause of wear - leadfoot drivers. So we built a system that would identify aggressive driving.
Another example was a speculative sports highlights annotation system I built with a consultancy. It ingested sports video and identified predetermined highlights in baseball - diving catches in our case. The ML pipeline was a CNN model which fed into an RNN. Given a bunch of video clips of diving catches as training data, it could later identify those diving catches and automatically annotate the video feeds.
Who shouldn't contact me.
If your market is Ads or gambling I'm not interested. Sure there's lot of money, but I'd rather sleep at night. Thanks.
Things I'd love to work on:
ML security and safety. Can your DS process be made to give up its internal workings? Can I subvert it to cause unsafe conditions? Almost no one is thinking about these questions, and I'd like the chance to.

I have been involved with open source for the last year, and a lot of my work is available publicly: https://www.gethalfmoon.com (I built the project, wrote the docs, and I'm currently maintaining it).

I'm hands-on generalist developer with ~10 year experience. Worked in gamedev (graphics/engine/network, industry and indie), co-founded blockchain analytics startup in backend/infra/devops role. Self-learning new stuff as needed, specializing into whatever areas required.
Not afraid of algorithms (participated in competitive programming) and so would love to work on science- or algorithms-packed project. May also be a good fit for wear-many-hats tech co-founding role / early employee of a small startup.

Hi! I'm Doug, a PhD Candidate at Michigan State University (defending next week). I focus on understanding how neural networks process information using information-theoretic tools (my dissertation work is primarily in neuroevolution, although I have some ML/DL experience). I'm looking for an opportunity to apply my knowledge to solve Machine Learning or Deep Learning problems.

You probably know the field better than I, but when I was in the area I heard Stanford SLAC did some interesting work: https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/
I'm in a different (but also somewhat niche) field of engineering-for what it's worth my experience was that jobs in my field are rarely advertised and the really good scientific ones often aren't public at all, so I'd suggest identifying organizations doing interesting work and doing very targeted inquiries as opposed to a breadth search (which you may be doing already!)
Finally: Your CV is excellent, love the formatting. For your resume, the norm that I've encountered is that it should be compact. Especially for someone in the early stage of their career, I should be able to take a quick glance and sum up your accomplishments, and it's highly suggested that it be one page.
Good luck with the search!

Your PhD and associated research is not on your CV or resume? Plus, did you publish any papers? They may be more relevant than projects created in 2002 (18 years ago ...)
4 years ago by jchiu92
I am very puzzled by your comment. Please take the time to read my resume or CV. It is quite clearly written what my PhD is in and my research. It is also quite clear in my CV what research is in publication review and has been published. There is no reference anywhere to any work done "in 2002" or "18 years ago".
4 years ago by angrais
My mistake! It seems that when I download your CV and open it another PDF is loaded (also named CV.pdf).
Sorry to have caused the confusion and I probably should have realised the mistake given the different names on the CV!
