SEEKING WORK remotely for 3 months.<p>5 hours&#x2F;week remotely; or 1 day&#x2F;week in Pune; while i bootstrap my own startup rest of the time working on product.<p>Here&#x27;s a little bit about me as of April &#x27;16:<p><pre><code>    8+ years of erlang experience building low latency &amp; fault-tolerant systems
        
    Responsible for a 500+ million requests per day event pipeline via erlang at a messaging SDK company as an early employee (and later lead of product engg).
    
    Implemented the backend for instant messaging app Verbs IM featured by Apple
    
    Re-implemented ejabberd c2s routing, mqtt over tcp sockets
    
    Author of the #1 erlang kafka client used at Baidu, Layer, etc ( http:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;helpshift&#x2F;ekaf )
    
    2+ years experience with clojure, golang, storm
    
    Designed and created a job scheduler ( zk, kafka, pg )
    
    Spoken at conferences like ErlangFactory, CUFP, FifthElephant, foss.in, etc ( see slideshare )

Things my cv&#x2F;linkedin profile doesn&#x27;t say:<p><pre><code>    I enjoy looking at specs and wire protocols and then write state machines in erlang, because i think distributed systems must be built as state machines.
    I looked at the svg protocol, and created a drawing app in &#x27;06
    I worked with the ad network &#x2F; RTB specs between &#x27;07 and &#x27;11
    I patched few objective-c libraries to work with a new pubsub protocol called faye
    I created an im bot looking at the AOL&#x2F;AIM reverse-engineered protocol docs in &#x27;13
    I studied the mqtt protocol, and then build the backend of an iphone app as mqtt enc&#x2F;dec packets over tcp 
    I rewrote the functionality of ejabberd router, through my own router of mqtt packets that handled iphone mqtt &lt;--&gt; erlang &lt;--&gt; gtalk&#x2F;yahoo&#x2F;jabber
    I created an open source apache kafka client for 0.8, in erlang called ekaf, recommended by apache kafka on it&#x27;s wiki, starred by numerous startup employees from cloudflare, layer, disqus, adgear, datadog, baidu, qq, etc
    I have devops experience as well - i created endpoints.io - web-based code editor where you wrote code, hit enter, and then got your own docker container with a running web service which i presented at the docker hq.      http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.slideshare.net&#x2F;bosky101&#x2F;endpointsio-docker-meetup-at-twitter
    I have a fetish for squeezing every bit of performance i can
    I have never worked on java&#x2F;C, but went from (1) learning python to leading a team in 1 month &amp; (2) learning clojure to to leading a team in 3 months
    In the first 3 months of my last job i replaced 15 jvm servers that were OOM&#x27;ing to 4GB every few days with 3 erlang servers doing &lt; 500 MB in memory month over month.
    I have great respect for the hadoop ecosystem, but don&#x27;t like the jargon and lack of spec&#x2F;protocol docs. On the contrary one of the reasons i even got interested in kafka, was because of the existence of the kafka text wire protocol doc. it is a pleasure to read and to parse with erlang binary pattern matching. and was all i needed to make a client that runs billions of events in production.
    I have spoken at the commercial users of functional programming, erlangfactory &amp; other conferences http:&#x2F;&#x2F;slideshare.net&#x2F;bosky101
    I personally like thrift because its easier to get started and has an inbuilt server
    I have worked in golang building a scraper and sentiment analysis tool using a combination of topic extraction and naive bayes classification.
