108 | 👋🏼 I'm a software engineer in Los Angeles. I like open source software, 109 | SQLite extensions, data visualizations, data pipelines, and developer tools. 110 |
111 |sqlite-vec147 | - Vector search that runs everywhere — work in progress 148 |
sqlite-xsv151 | - Quickly reading CSV files and blobs 152 |
sqlite-regex155 |
REGEXP156 | support and other regular expression functions 157 |
sqlite-loadable-rs160 | - A Rust framework for safe and performant SQLite extensions 161 |
dataflow164 | 165 | - An experimental self-hosted Observable notebook editor 167 |
observable-prerender170 | 171 | - Pre-render Observable notebooks from the command line 173 |
135 | I'm available for part-time work opportunities for software 136 | development and technical content creation. 137 |
138 |139 | I left my full-time software engineering job in early 2021 and have 140 | been freelancing/consulting ever since. I typically work with data 141 | visualization agencies, small startups, and software engineering 142 | teams. I develop new software tools, work with existing codebases, and 143 | write technical content. I also provide trainings and offer pair 144 | programming sessions. 145 |
146 |I'd be great for consulting and development related to:
147 | 148 |165 | More specifically, if your company, agency, or newsroom is looking to 166 | make: 167 |
168 | 169 |
189 | If you or your company has benefited from one of my many
190 | open source projects and
191 | you'd like to see it continue, consider financially supporting my
192 | work!
193 | Open source work takes up a lot of time and energy, so your support
194 | is greatly appreciated.
195 |
199 | My consulting and software development work funds my open source 200 | work — see above for details. 201 |
202 |
205 | If you don't have the resources to hire or don't do 1099's,
206 | consider hiring me to give a remote talk to your engineering team
207 | or newsroom! Similar to
208 | Simon Willison's idea, I can prepare a talk (or be a part of a Q&A session) about any
212 | technical topic you or your team would like to learn more about.
213 |
214 | A few talk ideas I would love to give (with any edits necessary):
215 |
227 | Email me with info about your team, what you all would like to 228 | learn about, how long you'd want the talk to be, and I'll get back 229 | to you. I am also available for in-person talks. 230 |
231 |237 | If you team wants to see a new SQLite extension, new features to 238 | any of my pre-existing projects, , or you have your own projects you'd like to open source (or add 242 | new features to pre-existing projects), then get in touch! 243 |
