   ---

   I'm a full stack web engineer with a strong eye for product design and UI/UX. I've also built two open source projects that I want to showcase here. Both projects were a solo effort.

   - Forms.md (https://forms.md): Open source TypeForm alternative (350 stars on GitHub), complex project built with JS, fully-tested, lots of functionality. Just launched two weeks ago.

   - Halfmoon (https://www.gethalfmoon.com): CSS framework (3k stars on GitHub), drop-in replacement for Bootstrap. 1.1M total downloads (from JSDelivr).

   Recently I've worked a lot on RAGs and LLM wrappers, so I have quite a bit of experience with prompt engineering/AI stuff as well.

   Looking for full-time/part-time/contract. I'm usually flexible about the type of work I do.

   In my next role, I want a broad mandate to make a meaningful impact within an organization by developing products that address genuine business challenges, with a preference for data related problems.

   Recently I built the data table for Jupyter/Pandas/Polars that I have wanted for over a decade. The open source Buckaroo (https://github.com/paddymul/buckaroo) data table combines a performant table, summary statistics, and a low code UI to expedite common data analysis tasks.

   A neural network based approach to playing Rocket League (by Mockapapella)

   

   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/quintenlisowe/

   My expertise is in deploying AI models and the infra that supports them, but recently I've been pushing myself to learn more about the actual creation and training process of AI models.

   I've built distributed AI systems that can support 35,000 customers inferencing at 30,000 queries per second using XLM-RoBERTa and GPU nodes. A few months ago I made a sentiment classification tool that got to the front of HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41620530), and once I noticed it was starting to gain traction I stayed up until 3AM fixing the bugs people were commenting about because I cared about them having the best experience possible. I've founded some companies before (Humanoid robotics and AI) and have leadership experience from when I was the lead mentor for a robotics team.

   I recently built a neural net architecture from the ground up to play Rocket League: https://github.com/Mockapapella/RLAI. Code, training data, and trained model are all there. I've been writing up a walkthrough of the codebase that I'll be posting to my substack when it's done (https://thelisowe.substack.com/).

   Hi! I’m Olga, an experienced software engineer looking for frontend or fullstack projects.

   I have experience building greenfield projects and complex features that “just work,” as well as diving into complex legacy codebases, fixing “unfixable” bugs, and performing major refactoring.

   In addition to React/Next.js and Node/Express.js development, I also have experience with cloud-native workflows (Golang + Kubernetes), OpenAI API integration and agentic workflows, native iOS development, and game development. Thanks to my multi-platform experience, I can help you port large products across different platforms.

    Hi, I'm Divyaank! I am a Masters in Computer Science student at Stony Brook University graduating in May 2025. I am looking for Backend, Distributed Systems and SRE positions. I am proficient in Java, Python, Kubernetes, SQL, bash and have dabbled with Scala, C/C++, Go, JavaScript, Spin/Promela. I am currently working with Prof. Erez Zadok in his File systems and Storage Lab (FSL) (Link: https://www.fsl.cs.stonybrook.edu/). I am presently working on implementing Containerization support (using Kubernetes and Kata Containers) for Swarm Verification (https://spinroot.com/swarm/) used by Metis (https://github.com/sbu-fsl/Metis). Previously, I used Metis to discover kernel hang bugs in the Journaled File System and submitted patches to the Linux kernel to fix these bugs[https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/8c7b1d37-758a-46b2-b8aa-afd3331..., https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/7/5/899].
