SEEKING WORK | Remote or Atlanta GA | Location: Atlanta, GA

I am seeing contract part time work for up to 20 or so hours a week. I have a breadth of experience in software engineering with a focus on APIs, distributed systems, mobile development, simulation systems, streaming, and functional programming. I am open to most all types of work and projects! I can get up and running and contribute quality work quickly and efficiently.

Languages: Clojure, F#, Java, Python, Golang, C++, Dart, SQL Technologies: AWS, GCP, Kafka, Docker, Flutter, Crawling, Databases

I've been a professional Clojure developer for some time now. My main observation when it comes to this is that Clojure is often picked to solve particular problems based on the capabilities it offers over other languages very deliberately. I've seen quite a few cases where an organization had attempted to solve a really high value problem with a more mainstream language, realized that it was next to impossible to succeed that way, and then tried Clojure with great results. In short, oftentimes Clojure makes it easy to solve really difficult problems and expert Clojure developers are in short supply.

Some examples of problems that I've seen Clojure excel in solving: 1. Complex rule modeling 2. Optimization systems 3. Big Data pipelines 4. Highly concurrent systems 5. Streaming systems
