    Work Experience: Amazon & Built Start-ups in College

    Twenty years old and I’ve recently finished college (B.S in Computer Science w/ minor in philosophy and mathematics). I’m looking for a company that’s willing to take a chance on an energetic, driven, and conscientious person at the start of their career. I’m full of ideas and will make an impact in your company.

    I’m familiar with most popular technologies today, and there are few things that I can’t learn within a week. I can work all across the stack and can work with large amounts of data, from anywhere in the pipeline (scraping, cleaning, and visualizing).

    I write performant well-documented code and enjoy applying other fields such as psychology and economics to the design process.

    Current Role: CTO @ Snaploader

    Salary Expectation: $200,000+ USD

    These days I describe myself as a full-stack developer, but I’ve also plenty of professional experience with mobile (native + React Native), infrastructure, ops, game development, tooling and reverse engineering. In my free time I also tinker with embedded systems. I’m an avid open source contributor, but also maintain many of my own open-source projects e.g. a Lua IDE which statically type checks Lua (https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/IntelliJ-Luanalysis).

    I’ve 12+ years of development experience, the last six years I’ve been CTO of Snaploader, a small start-up in Australia which turns floor-plans and CAD drawings into real-time rendered 3D buildings that run in your browser (including mobile). HQ is interstate, thus the role has always been near 100% remote. There’s a team of 20+ 3D artists and sales, but development is a one man show. So I’m responsible for a pretty absurd amount.

    I also occasionally take on casual consulting gigs, which typically come about from my open source contributions. Currently I’m consulting for Berserk Games. I work on their Lua language bindings, public API documentation, networking and tooling for the (user content centric) game Tabletop Simulator (Unity/C#). I also help out their developer community with support, libraries, documentation and example projects i.e. developer advocacy.

    Please do peruse my Github. I’m after something senior where I can take some ownership, but ideally also contribute across a breadth of projects/technologies.

    ==========

    These days I describe myself as a full stack developer & SRE, but I’ve also plenty of professional experience with mobile (native + React Native), infrastructure, ops, game development, tooling and reverse engineering. In my free time I also tinker with embedded systems. I’m an avid open source contributor, but also maintain many of my own open-source projects e.g. a Lua IDE which adds static type checking to the language (https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/IntelliJ-Luanalysis), or Heimdall, Samsung firmware flashing software with millions of downloads (https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall).

    I’ve 12+ years of development experience, the last six years I’ve been CTO of Snaploader, a small start-up in Australia which turns floor-plans and CAD drawings into real-time rendered 3D buildings that run in your browser (including mobile). Role has always been near 100% remote. There’s a team of 20+ 3D artists and sales, but development is currently a one man show. So I’m responsible for a pretty absurd amount.

    Beyond all the managerial/administrative stuff, reporting to the board, pitch-decks, grant documentation and what-not, I wrote all code that makes up our current core offering. Kubernetes, Kops, Kustomize, AWS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda@Edge, PSQL (domain model), MongoDB (analytics only), Redis (caching + distributed systems), three.js, WebGL, React, JS, TypeScript, Node.js, Ruby, Python, and more. RESTful micro-service architecture, but the majority of traffic is served as static content from CloudFront/S3.

    I also occasionally take on casual consulting gigs, which typically come about from my open source contributions. Currently I’m consulting for Berserk Games. I work on their Lua language bindings, public API documentation, networking and tooling for the (user content centric) game Tabletop Simulator (Unity/C#). I also help out their developer community with support, libraries, documentation and example projects i.e. developer advocacy.

    Hello, I am a full stack software engineer with a passion for CI/CD. I like working on cloud infrastructure and recently got an Associate level Solutions Architect certificate and plan to get more.

    Recently I built Gander with my remote team. Gander is an open source, drop in solution for deploying isolated full stack review apps for every pull request. It uses Cloud Native Build Packs to containerize the applications and deploys them to AWS Fargate, with data from the Postgres instances being persisted to EFS. Traffic is routed using an application load balancer using sub domains. You can read more about it here: https://gander-framework.github.io

    Here's an open pull request on an example Python project showing it in action, with two different pull requests open, each with different data. Simply check the comment generated by Gander on the pull requests: https://github.com/ChristopherDurand/python-demo/pulls

    I love learning new technologies and learn well under pressure. Get in touch with me if you think I'd be a great fit!

  • WorkOS
