Location: Dallas, TX Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Haskell, Rust, Nix, Golang, Python, Linux, Mentoring, Javascript/HTML5, SQL, NoSQL, REST APIs, Django, Terraform, Docker, PostgreSQL Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/codygman/ Email: cody@codygman.dev Over 15 years I've worked both in large corporations in cross-functional teams, small teams (5-10) at small to medium companies, and alone as a freelancer taking on projects across many different technologies. My focus in the past few years has been on being a force multiplier for my team and increasing predictability, stability, and developer enjoyment of output. I'm also a big proponent of mentoring and frequently create tech talks from the daily work notes I take so that the lessons from any challenges I face benefit not only me, but my team as well. My preference is functional languages and companies that use Nix and/or NixOS, but it's more important to have a healthy company and team than any specific technology. I also do Parkour in my free time, and I have given lessons to coworkers in the past who are interested :)
