What I'm Into
Hey there! I'm big on low-level software engineering, having a blast with languages like Rust, Go, and C++. I'm always excited to dive into high-performance projects—think containerization, distributed systems, and all that good stuff. And hey, I'm not opposed to getting my hands dirty with some embedded software development.
Where and When I Work Best
I'm hoping to find something where I'm in the office a day or two a week, ideally hanging out in regions around Aargau, Zurich, or Luzern.
What I've Been Up To
I've spent plenty of time in infrastructure engineering and operations, but I'm steering towards roles where I can really dive into optimizing system performances and memory utilization. I'm ready to lend my expertise more on the strategy side of things, moving away from the hands-on roles I've had in DevOps and Cloud Engineering.
What Catches My Eye
To the recruiters out there — let's keep it straightforward and detailed with the job descriptions. It sets the stage for a solid, productive conversation.
Tech Preferences
I've got a thing for efficient and powerful languages — Rust, Go, and C++ are my go-to's right now. I'm eager to use them to whip up solutions that are both powerful and efficient.
What I'm Looking For
- Remote - Part time contracting/consulting work
- Remote - Full time opportunities if they match the
interested indescription above.
I favor opportunities that allow home office full time, even if they are on US hours
