Availability: Fractional / contract / fixed-scope, not seeking FTE
I'm looking for a small project to complete over the summer.
I'm available full time through August 10th. (After that my availability is more limited since I teach Latin at a small Classical school).
Standard Rate: $100/hour
Some work experience:
- Built a tool (non-AI) to read Latin texts and generate fully-parsed glossaries. I used this tool in a few Latin readers I've published recently.(Tech: Clojure, SQLite, Ada)
- Built a billing system, using Stripe integration, for a B2B SAAS app.
- Fractional team lead for Learnics. Wrote a bibliography generator that supports MLA, APA, and Chicago style. (Tech: Vue, Firebase)
- Built the front-end for https://app.composer.trade, a systematic trading app. Took the company from designs all the way through launch. (Tech: Clojure/Script, Firebase)
- Led a team of ~17 software developers at Epic Systems Corporation.
Do you need the expertise of a seasoned software engineer for a project but don't have the budget for someone full-time?
Need to get a project done quickly & well?
I'm available 40+ hours/week through August 10th. (After that my availability is more limited since I teach Latin at a small Classical school).

Do you need the expertise of a seasoned software engineer for a project but don't have the budget for someone full-time? Are you willing to have the project completed asynchronously, on an hourly basis, in around 1-15 hours per week? If so, we should talk (the introductory call is free). I have around a decade of experience (see below) and am available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays as well as some times on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (MWF I teach math & Latin at a small classical school). My standard rate is $100/hour for async work, $150/hour if there's tighter deadlines. Discounts available for special circumstances :)

Recent work:
- Fractional team lead for Learnics. Wrote a bibliography generator that supports MLA, APA, and Chicago style. (Tech: Vue, Firebase)
- Created an app for playwrights to use for creating and rehearsing plays. (Tech: React, Typescript, Flask, Postgres)
- Built the front-end for https://app.composer.trade, a systematic trading app. Took the company from designs all the way through launch. (Tech: Clojure/Script, Firebase)
- Created a fuzz-testing tool that takes in a language grammar (EBNF) and uses that to generate syntactically correct random text in that language. During text generation it can also take in external information (such as table and column metadata for use in generated SQL queries) to create random text that is contextually correct as well. Currently used for testing SQL databases.

Note for others asking how it works: this generates simple puns based off of rhymes. Many potential puns won't make sense. But if you were, say, writing an article about finding a bread recipe for the fall, the tool's suggestion of "Hunt for the Bread October" would be a good pun.
The more TOS I read through, the more it seems we need a "common law" solution.
(I use the term "common law" loosely here)
Something like a couple of pre-defined categories for software services (e.g. info provider, social network, real-world interface) with pre-set rules (e.g. the client cannot attempt to break the social network; the owner of the social network cannot re-sell data to a third party).
We have something like this for brick'n'mortar retail already -- each store can't just make up their own rules but rather has to operate within a societal framework.
The system we have right now leads to every corporation being incentivized to claim as much legal ground as possible in the TOS, leading to a de-facto corpo-state. It also undermines the rule of law in a cultural sense since many things in the TOS may be deemed unenforceable when actually challenged in court. The users will always be is a several disadvantageous bargaining position.
