python
I'm looking for work, please boost!
I'm a software engineer with 35 years of experience. I've worked across an unusually wide range of domains: mobile game backends, privacy-preserving data platforms, high-throughput COVID testing infrastructure, email and account systems, e-payment processing, job marketplace systems, and bioinformatics. I pick up new domains quickly and have a history of doing it repeatedly. I understand how to turn business needs into engineering requirements.
I prefer to work remotely but I am open to an in-office job in the Philadelphia area or especially in Philadelphia itself. I've often worked remotely since the 1990s and can operate with minimal supervision. Several of my favorite projects were self-directed: I identified the need, built the thing, and shipped it. My preferred time zone is America/New_York, but I'm flexible.
Some of the many, many technologies I've used are: Python, Perl, TypeScript/JavaScript, Haskell, Go, C, Java. Postgres, MySQL, SQLite. Flask, SQLAlchemy. AWS (Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, EC2). Docker, Git. Github and Gitlab.
I've also repeatedly picked up new languages and stacks as needed: Haskell for differential privacy research, TypeScript for a 24/7 AWS Lambda system, Flask for my most recent employer. I've become productive with new systems over and over, and I can do it quickly.
I'm a published author (Higher-Order Perl, Morgan Kaufmann), longtime blogger, and conference speaker with a reputation for making complex ideas clear.
I am a U.S. citizen.

I am a 10+ years developer working as a freelancer since 2019. I am mainly a web, #Python, #Django and #Kotlin dev. but I have experience on working with a various range of codebases including C++ (@mixxx, @thunderbird), #Rust (Django Template Transpiler, TB, Starship), Android (Readrops) and low-level #Linux (@yunohost).
I also have a strong experience in devops (#Ansible, Saltstack, Jenkins, etc.)
Don't hesitate to reach out if you're looking for a versatile dev.

🙀🚂🐧Did you hear the big announcement that #PostmanLabs is suddenly reviving the development of #httpbin after neglecting it for 8 years? Of course they've completely ignored the community "fork", and everything added these last days is #slop.
However, looks like they're not getting the PyPI package back. In fact, #TIL that httpbin was actually a community project originally and was subject to a hostile takeover:
> When we moved the project into postmanlabs because they offered to host the site, the understanding was the maintainers would continue to maintain the project. Our access got cut without warning shortly after and I don't think we've ever gotten a real response on why.

For those working on high-dimensional algebraic computations, physics simulations, or geometric deep learning, I've open-sourced a two-tier Python ecosystem for hypercomplex number systems:
1. hypercomplex-engine: Focuses on the computational substrate. It generates cross-validated multiplication tables for standard, split, and dual algebras, and includes an \(O(1)\) closed-form bitwise sign evaluator capable of handling massive word-RAM indices where standard \(O(4^n)\) table memory fails.
Link: https://github.com/maher1719/hypercomplex-engine
2. hypercomplex-algebra: A mathematically rigorous application layer built on top of the engine. It introduces a tokenized string-expression parser (e.g., 3e1 + 2eps_e2) and maps out component-wise tensor product multiplication across mixed algebra slots with explicit error boundaries.
Link: https://github.com/maher1719/hypercomplex-algebra
Both libraries are pure Python 3.10+, can be downloaded with pip, rely only on NumPy, and feature automated cross-validation tests aligning the recursive holographic models with the closed-form bitwise outputs.

FOR THE LAST 2.5 DECADES THE THIEVES (AKA JEWS & USA .GOV) HAVE raped, pillage and murder the NATIVES since DAY 1! Including Priceless Technology only to be replaced with HYPE to Control and Manipulate Markets and open air prison on usa soil via #AT&T, #T_Mobile, #Verizon, #Xfinity #Comcast towers triangulating with #GPS #POWERED #SATELLITES and now Airports. (Planes and Helicoptors falling out of the sky or targeting decentors by jews) aka PROOF IDF on USA Shores Via immigration officers = ICE indiguise as IDF imho!?? Shooting females in the face at Piont blank range, is a #DEAD_GIVEAWAY! Hello anyone home??
#Robotics' are still in their infantile stages #mechanically_speaking. In Terms of #Intelligence.. REAL AI does not Exist >> What you are seeing now is 100% #HYPE. aka dog and pony show, at best. AI will never replicate the conscious thinking, but can implement a regiment to conduct many repetitive MENIAL tasks.. (e.g. Flipping Burgers at Micky Dees ;) #Car_Wash enhancements.. etc
btw #Python is a 20 year " #after_thought, " that the kids use bc its an elementary Software Language for beginners (resurrected by India) and the easiest to use for #IP_THEFT & #Data_Scraping >> #DUMB_BOT_POWERED!!
CASE in POINT ➕ ➖ ➗ #CALCULATORS (aka #TEXAS? INSTRUMENTS ) were WRITTEN in #PYTHON back in the 80's = #MATH_CLASS #CHEATING on EXAMS;)
Remember? WE DO! The Poor kids could not afford a calculator. However After Christmas Holiday the rich kids (daddy/mommy made) would come to school bolstering their wonderful calculators (Unfair Advantages) that only ended up dumbing students down just like they have currently done with #DUMBPHONES and to #CONCEAL #NATVE_SOFTWARE_STACKS for our schools and TO THE MASSES??
but Jew #lgbtq #INDOCTRINATION OF INNOCENT CHILDREN GONE WILD IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS NO LESS!!?? Forget the Parents, they are Perverts. Grandma and Grandpa need to step in again bc these same rebellious (IGNORANT!) children are now adults??? You know the same kids who thought they new more than thier parents. (divorce rates sky high single mom PANDEMIC??! --would never clean thier rooms till this day? Thanks to #JEW_INDOCTRINATION in our public schools!? The Same Fatherless Kids Advising our Christian well rounded children. The Jews screwed up our families and kids. they are responsible and they will pay or worse with their skins;)

THE #HATED ONE | How Intel wants to backdoor every computer in the world | Intel Management Engine explained. HERE IS WHY #INTEL FAILED. SECRET BACK DOORS. same as #ORACLE.
#ISRAEL (a #Terrorist_Organization) JUST INVESTED #Billions INTO #INTEL. #INTEL AND #ISRAEL ARE #TRAITORS -- #NOT_ALLIES
TastingTraffic LLC founded and Invented #DEVSECOPS in 2000. In fact we also invented K8’s without even knowing it.
PROOF? Nobody could handle 10,000 IPv4 simultaneous connections per second at the time, well before Google. (20 years ahead.. even back then..) Our #HFT Invention followed shortly after as well;)
#Security is not #Rocket_Science. ITS All PROPAGANDA to push you into a #UNSECURED_CLOUD for future #DATA & #IP_THEFT!
The thieves can see everything on their servers bc they are not yours. All you hard work can be copied and stolen without you even knowing it..
#NO_CLOUD CAN BE #TRUSTED. #Boycott all #Centralized_Clouds!
The Only trusted network in our opinion is to co-locate your hardware and software.
We invented and founded #DEVSECOPS in 2000 running 10 servers (10,000 simultaneous connections per second when most could not and still cannot tie their own dam shoes. ($$400k per month NET)
CAVEAT EMPTOR ALL CENTRALIZED NETWORKs!! SHUT DOWN ASAP!
Intel #embeds Management Engine into #all of its #computers since 2008. Intel Management Engine has been criticized for its #security_risks and has been #called a #backdoor with #rootkit possibilities by many #security_experts and researchers.
This is #Intel_Management_Engine. A #subsystem_microprocessor that’s operating inside every Intel #CPU platform made from 2008 #onward.
Despite its name and some basic functions, we don’t know anything about what Intel Management really does.
What we do know is that this micro-controller works #completely_independently from the main CPU. It can’t be manually #removed or #disabled. Even if the main computer is #powered off, as long as it is #plugged_in to the mains or the #battery, #IME will #continue to #run.
Intel Management Engine is a #computer #within a #computer. It is running it’s #own_operating_system, called #Minix, and is installed by #default on #every modern computer with an #Intel_CPU.
This probably makes #Minix the most widely used #operating_system in the world. But unlike Windows, Mac OS or Linux, Minix is completely #outside of #user_control. It cannot be #scanned by an #antivirus or #malware_detection software. It can #bypass any #firewall_configuration and has a #dedicated network connection that can #circumvent the main CPU and the #main_operating_system.
