I previously worked as an architect at a consultancy, leading small teams. I've shipped many projects and have broad technical experience, from drivers to web development. With AI agents, I'm very effective: I can build and launch complex projects on my own without them collapsing under their own weight.

I'm looking for a startup that needs a first and/or sole engineer who can "build it all" or an existing team I can strengthen.

I'm based in Georgia, in a European time zone, but I've spent half my life working with companies in SF, so adjusting my sleep schedule isn't a problem. A B2B contract or EOR works for me - whichever suits you. I'm also open to relocating if needed.

Get in touch, and let's discuss how I can help your startup.

Hi, I'm Andrii. I'm looking for a developer role at the intersection of low-level programming and application development. I have experience in video processing and streaming, network driver development, and desktop application development for macOS, Windows, and Linux. I've also worked extensively with iOS since the platform's early days. I'm also proficient in modern web development with React and Node.js. Open to full-time roles and project-based collaborations.

Over 20 years of experience in software development. I have built web, desktop, and mobile applications, backend services, and system-level software. I enjoy working in startups, building products from scratch, and solving complex technical problems. Hands-on experience with AI integrations and local inference.

Full-stack engineer with 20+ years of experience, looking for a founding or first-engineer role. I build products from scratch and can work across frontend, backend, mobile, and infrastructure.

Particularly interested in small teams where I can take ownership and ship complete products.

Based in Georgia and accustomed to working US Pacific hours.

It's licensing is expensive though unless the app is opensource.

I heard this repeated many times. You can create closed-source Qt apps without paying any money. You cannot statically link, though; you must obey the LGPL license; that is all. And yes, you cannot use commercial modules, but that is kinda expected.

Is there a way to make this work with https://github.com/porsager/postgres ? It's very close to raw SQL but with safe substitutions. I use it with Zod, but it would be great to have the types derived automatically.

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to make it work.

It would be quite easy to extract the queries to compute the types, but TypeScript doesn't handle tagged template literals well enough to link the query passed to the sql`` template to the return type.

Fastify is absolutely fantastic. It has the concept of "type providers", allowing you to pair it with fastify-type-provider-json-schema-to-ts (for JSON schemas) or another typing system of choice, such as Zod, to obtain strongly typed queries, request bodies, and responses in handlers with TS types derived on the fly at compile time. It also validates data returned from handlers to conform to schemas, reducing the likelihood of accidentally leaking sensitive information. And it's faster than Express, even with validation.

Al Lowe was not involved with the latest two.

If the interview is structured in a way that overloads your short-term memory, which is often the case, you'll have problems remembering things from a long time ago. Ask someone questions about recent events for a few minutes, and they won't even be able to remember not only what they worked on in projects many years ago but also their grandfather's name. Everyone has this problem; it's just how memory works, and poorly structured interviews trigger this effect. A workaround is to prepare beforehand and keep a list of things to talk about nearby.

Another approach that can work is to give your memory a bit of time to adapt. For instance, if you're asked to share a story from the past and you don't have one prepared and can't recall anything, suggest starting by discussing your past in general. For example, list the projects you've worked on and briefly describe them. You will feel how, during this process, the ability to recall events returns.
