Platform/Infrastructure Engineer and solo founder. Currently CTO of two organizations simultaneously (50+ employees, 8 locations). I built every system from scratch with no team. Also founded Fimil (fimil.dev), a unified application security SaaS, as sole engineer: Python/FastAPI backend, React 18/TypeScript frontend, Celery/Redis async scanner pipeline, multi-tenant Kubernetes deployment on DigitalOcean.
What I've shipped: distributed digital signage system in Rust deployed across 8 locations, mainframe API wrapper in C#/.NET that improved ops efficiency by 85%, check-in/check-out platform handling ~5,600 transactions/day, claims management system that cut intake time by 2+ hours per claim. Manages 6 self-hosted GitHub Actions runners across 2 GitHub orgs.
Good at owning the whole system; infrastructure, backend, frontend, DevOps, and whatever else needs doing. Looking for a team where that kind of end-to-end ownership is valued.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Yes, for the right opportunity
Technologies: Python, TypeScript, Rust, C#, React, FastAPI, Node.js, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, SQL Server, DigitalOcean, AWS S3, SD-WAN, Cisco IOS, Linux, Windows Server, Active Directory
