Piper Thunstrom

Just lost my job. If you need a broad skilled Python dev who has a passion for sharing information, strong full stack skills and data pipelines experience? I'm your girl.

(I also do public speaking, and I run an open source project in case that wasn't enough of a skill set for you.)

EDIT: I'm in the US for folks interested.

Some details:

When I say "strong fullstack skills": I design and write REST APIs and occasionally RPC stuff. I keep very up to date on the web standards (built a new demo around the light-dark CSS function last night.) I've got pretty strong query writing skills in a host of dialects. I've built multiple asynchronous pipelines for various purposes over the years. Worked in a bunch of different clouds (Lots of AWS, some Azure, some digital ocean...)

Show threadPiper ThunstromApr 15, 2024

DB engines I've got actual experience with: MS Server, postgres, MongoDB, PrestoDB, Databricks (not really an engine, more a platform, but unique enough to mention), MySQL.

I don't have a prefered data pipeline (I've built a couple bespoke ones, but happy to figure out whatever mix you're using.)

I like my software to work, keep working, and I want to bring up the skills of everyone around me.

@pathunstrom dunno if you've thought of it before but it might be good to try to do some teaching on Twitch. You might be able to monetize it with some time and also it could be cool to entice people to hire you there (and have videos to point to on your resume)

Piper,
1. Laid off really sucks.
2. What country are you in?
3. Red Hat has quite a few python developers, and good support for remote work. Maybe look there.

Good luck

@pathunstrom @jrconlin

Apologies if this has been answered, tried to check the thread!

Are you looking for remote only?
Any industry or company size preferences?

I don’t have anything right now but feel free to find me on LI (/in/aronow) and see if any of my connections are at companies that are interesting to you!

Show threadPiper ThunstromApr 17, 2024

@aronow @jrconlin I am remote only.

I am extremely flexible on size and industry. (The only real rule is "I won't do things that help harm people directly". So no mil-tech, no law enforcement. Selective limitations in other fields.)

Thanks for asking!
