Marc

I'm a senior software engineer and engineering leader with 20+ years in software and infrastructure, including 10+ years as the CTO at a SaaS company serving both consumers and government agencies. What I do best: Python/Go/Rust backend development: Flask, Django, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Celery. I build clean, tested, maintainable services and APIs. Cloud migration and architecture: I've led full migrations from physical servers to Google Cloud and from VMs to Kubernetes, with no drama and no surprises. DevOps and CI/CD: Docker, Kubernetes (GKE), and GitLab pipelines with automated testing built in from day one. Third-party integrations: payment processors, VoIP providers, fulfillment services, and marketing APIs. Legacy modernization: I've taken unstructured PHP codebases and rebuilt them as modular Python/GO/Rust services without disrupting live users. I've also designed ML/NLP pipelines and secure document-review systems used by government agencies, so I'm comfortable with compliance-sensitive work where reliability and auditability matter. Working with me: clear communication, realistic estimates, and code your next developer will thank you for. I'm happy to take on a well-scoped task or own an entire backend.
