Vetted Risc V developer in the United States (UTC-7)
Hi there! **I'm Steve, an award-winning software developer** and **creative problem-solver.** As someone who has been **programming for 16 years**, I have extensive startup and freelance experience which I am excited to leverage to make great things happen -- _fast_. I am built to rapidly craft high-quality, **user-centric software that is beautiful** inside and out. I've done a ton of **Python** (15 years), **JavaScript** (7 years), and concurrent **Go** programming (14 years) on the backend, plus many years of **React** (7 years) and **Svelte** (5 years) on the frontend. Lately I've been creating **RAG-enabled AI chat bots** that answer questions about an arbitrary data set (e.g., company documents or instructional videos). In my personal time I've been learning Kotlin Multiplatform and Arduino, and writing a compiler in RISC-V assembly. Thanks to LLMs -- specifically Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, GPT o1-preview, and GPT-4 before that -- my programming productivity has approximately doubled, meaning **I get $300 worth of programming done per hour, at the highest quality**; I do in 1 hour what mid-level devs need 5+ hours to do, _and_ their code is buggier. Additionally, I am accustomed to playing the role of startup CTO, and I'm looking to do more work as a fractional CTO. This is especially valuable for projects that need software built _and_ **need help clarifying** which approaches, technologies, and services should be used to solve a problem in the most efficient way. In 2022 I was brought into a project after the founder read about me in a book. Together with her team, **the software I designed and led the development of has won many international innovation awards** -- so many that this founder was nominated for Person of the Year in 2023, in her home country of Switzerland. I was **recently vetted** by Arc and **I completed their "30-minute" programming exercise in 4 minutes**. My solution was so simple that the interviewer had to triple-check that it was correct. (It was.) I am not usually available, but I am today. _(Note: For these first 2 weeks of January 2025, I am reducing my rate to $75/hour. After that, it will go back up to $150.)_ **Let's do this!**

Vetted Risc V developer in Greece (UTC+3)
I’m passionate about computer architecture design, distributed computing, HPC and anything related to low-level engineering or requiring to achieve low latency performance. For programming languages I’m using C, C++-23 and Python3 on a daily basis. From time to time I also implement CUDA kernels. My preferred compiler is clang along with its tools (clang-tidy and so on) and for build systems I prefer to use Makefiles/CMAKE or Meson+Ninja. I'm comfortable writing assembly in any architecture and I’m familiar with Vector extensions for various architectures(x86/64, Risc5, ARM). In general I have a solid understanding of the underlying hardware components and how to utilize them for performance gains. This also includes concurrency, synchronization primitives and crafting bare metal kernels. In the past I also had to implement compiler infrastructures (including JIT using LLVM-C++-API) for various architectures and emulators. **Finally, one of my #1 skills is that I have many years of different startup environment experience. I believe startups are the best way to progress fast in your career as long as you are able to absorb and process the massive amount of information broadcasted. In the end a startup is no different than a big corporation without the available resources.**

Remote Risc V developer in Slovenia (UTC+1)
I am primarily a hardware developer, currently specialized in ASIC/FPGA development. I do not see myself as a perfectionist, but I like to write code which is short, readable and documented. I always try to follow new trends, currently Verilog is still the prefered language in my profession, but I am learning SystemVerilog as fast as development tool updates allow me to. And I always update all my tools to the latest version. Open source software and hardware excites me. First because of the low price :). But the philosophy is what compels me to contribute. I think compared to proprietary development practices, open source is in a much better position to scale with our unstoppable appetite for technological advances. In my spare time I like to research cellular automata. I see cellular automata as a model for the underlying rules of the universe, which might be true especially if we agree that all Turing complete models are somehow equivalent. My first computer was a ZX spectrum. I started begging my parents for one when I was 9. From then I wrote code in Sinclair BASIC, Logo, Z80 assembly, Pascal, 6800 assembly, C & C++, MCS-51 & AVR assembly, Matlab, SVG & HTML+CSS, JavaScript, PowerPC assembly, AHDL, ABEL, VHDL, Ti DSP assembly, Python, Sage, Bash, TCL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, OpenCL and I still like learning new programming languages.

My experience also includes working extensively with Bluetooth technology, where I have developed GUI extensions for debugging tools, UEFI drivers for Bluetooth stacks, and the A2DP profile for classic Bluetooth. I have also worked with the GNSS firmware development group, where I developed a memory manager and math library in C and conducted static analysis of firmware to compute memory and time requirements. Overall, my skills include embedded software, microcontrollers, embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS), C, Python, ARM-A, ARM-M, and RISC-V CPUs.

I am no longer taking new students for mentoring sessions. However, you are welcome to ask me questions of any depth in chat and I'll answer as I can. I am an assembly language expert, having mentored recently in MIPS, LC-3&4, MARIE, PEP/8&9, others. I will explain the concepts and fundamentals that you need to know. For example: how the processor works; how assembly language works; analogies for higher level languages concepts in assembly language; methodology for problem solving. While I do explanations, I don't do homework, assignments, projects, tests, quizzes, exams (practice or otherwise) or freelance. The help I offer is about concepts: knowledge of how processors work, how assembly language works, how we accomplish the same thing in assembly as in other languages, and how programmers look at problems. So, ask me something about what you want to learn: what you don't know or what you are confused about that will help you in making progress on your assignment/project or upcoming test.
