Work

I am open to new opportunities for work, and currently actively looking. If you have something that you think that I can contribute to then please reach out. Here is my resume.

I have some musts, and some nice to haves about work. A compensation of at least $130k CAD (~95k USD) that fits the must haves. I am willing to forgo some compensation to get some of the nice to haves. That is something to discuss and come to an agreement on.

Must Have/Must Not Have

• Decent benefits. Health, dental, RRSP match, the standard stuff.
• I am not interested in working on cryptocurrency projects. Cryptography in general and security certainly but not cryptocurrencies.
• I am not interested in working in or with generative AI. More classical predictive/pattern recognition projects I would be very interested in.
• Freedom to work on my own projects outside of work. Development for people in my community (for pay if that is what we decide). Make and sell things that I may make.
• No MAANG companies. I have been at Amazon nearly 3 years now and I am looking for a different sort of challenge. All of the large tech companies seem very similar from what I can see so I am looking for something different.

Nice to haves

• Working on open source software. It is important to me that I be able to share the work that I do.
• Less than standard work week. I do enjoy doing a wide variety of things, and a 4 day workweek would be wonderful to free up more time for learning and other projects.
• Non Java tech stack. Have worked primarily in Java for the last 3 years and have discovered that it does not fit that well with how I like to program. Would ideally like to work in a language that I enjoy working with and am always interested in learning something new.
• Remote or hybrid work. This greatly widens the area of possible employers as I am currently based in Toronto.
• Work where I get to as directly as possible help people. Some of the most fulfillment that I get from working is helping someone directly with a problem. Being able to directly interact with users of the product that I work on is important to me.
