===================================================

Have 5 years working in big tech, looking to work on a new tech stack with a dedicated focus. I have a lot of experience with Oncall/IR for major services. My main focus professionally has been in Devops and developer tooling which I'd be more than interested in having a conversation about, but I'm also interested in expanding and moving towards to new roles.

I'd be interested in any tech roles regarding backend technologies, Observability and platform logging, Data infrastructure architecture, Site Reliability Engineering, Security, Modernization and Automation.

I have strong familiarity with frontend/fullstack but would prefer to limit my frontend search to frontend roles that at least partially cover hardware accelerated technologies such as WebGPU/ThreeJS, Platform specifics (OpenGL/Vulkan/Metal/D3D), Compute or high efficiency parallelization.

I'd be open to opportunities where I get to further explore AI, however I'd have a preference for Healthcare, Notetaking, transcription and productivity, prototyping, and less emphasis on GenAI for content creation.

Additionally, I'd love the opportunity to take my skills and experience from outside of my professional experience into a new direction, so I've decided to put special emphasis on hardware/robotics. I consider any role that is at least somewhat adjacent to hardware technology a major plus.

I want to be more picky with my current job search. I'm open to spending more time in the interview process to determine whether or not I'm a good fit, as I want to ensure I'm where I want to be. Let's start a conversation!
