And have startup experience! Have worked in b2b, b2c, b2gov and b2self. Lately been doing a lot of work in CI/CD, Observability and some LLM applications, but I am also big on full-stack development. While I fear for humanity’s future 👀, I believe that better IT systems can make a huge positive difference in the world. I have an eye for optimized and fault-tolerant software. My site: https://the1mills.github.io Gleamlang advocate! Gleam is hopefully the future of backend development. Any company working with OCaml/ReasonML, Gleam-lang, Rust, Erlang / Elixir, Haskell, F# - having worked with many software languages and environments, prefer working with structurally-typed, statically-typed, and functionally-inclined languages. TypeScript is pretty cool too 😎😎. Note: While primarily a software engineer, I do have experience in Sales Engineering in startup environments.
