--- About Me
I am a homeless Backend Software Developer who has amassed 300 stars on GitHub through two projects:
- Copygen: Type-based code generator that generates Go code. A developer with "30 years of experience" has been "inspired" by this work in a creation of his own.
- Disgo: Most Performant and Feature Complete Go Discord API Wrapper. Struct Based. 3 people vs. 100s of contributors the others needed. It was created in a fraction of the time thanks to Copygen.
I have many other projects (that involve leadership), including SwitchUpCB (.com) and 20+ 5-star projects on freelance websites, but these projects are not considered "professional" corporate experience. As a result, I focus on the above projects to showcase that I will outperform all your candidates in Software Design and Development (with a budget).
In other words, I'm the best person for the job, and you are hiring the best person for the job, so hire me. I know how to use AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Postgres, Redis, MySQL, etc. I can do everything in Backend/DevOps and some Frontend.
Please spare your health advice regarding my housing situation: I do not consume alcohol or drugs and have a visible six-pack. Instead, please provide me with a referral to your job for an interview.
--- My Interviews
I am in a Google interview loop, but my recruiters have swapped three times. So I'm giving up on them and just looking for "professional" experience.
This is your chance to get a Software Developer who is objectively at the level of a potential Google Engineer or 30y experience equivalent Software Developer for $25/hr.
--- My Requests
Why am I doing this? I have recently escaped an abusive situation and am willing to work for consistent financial gain over specified time periods.
I don't have any credentials: A recruiter rejected me (from a referral role) for being young (cause I was in school) as he (who didn't know what Git is) said I'll "be much better in 5 years". So consider me as degree-less for this job if it means I'm older (21+).
I am open to LeetCode interviews, but they contain many factors beyond my work performance. Sometimes, I screw up or get tired too. A Google study said LeetCode doesn't predict candidate performance, so I would prefer no LeetCode interviews as it wastes time.
You have a job you need to be done. History shows I can do it.
I prefer to avoid video calling with recruiters because my demographic is only 4% of the industry. So I have had experiences that didn't match my friends. If it's possible to avoid this, please let me know.
I would also need the interview loop to occur within a reasonable time frame: I prefer to avoid recruiters who don't work on the actual team*. If your recruiters don't know what Git, CICD, RFCs, and any other technology equivalent is, then skips the applicant because "what's GitHub or {insert alternative}", don't waste my time.
*It's easy to see why 85% of jobs are secured through networking now.
Similar to a job application, these requests are ideal but do not have to be 100% met. I'd love it if you commented (or emailed cjb@switchupcb.com) about your job openings and provided me with a referral!

1. A traditional file system is composed of folders and files; where files (including folders) can nest under other folders. This is useful as it provides a file structure (UI) for your data.
[i.e Windows File System]
2. The ability to add or exclude people from reading, writing, managing, etc, an individual file or folder. As an example, one could assign a role to a folder which only allows accounts (people) with those roles the ability to read its documents. In other cases, one could allow the ability to view a folder, but not its contents to maintain its file structure for other viewers.
[i.e Discord Role System for Channels and Users]
3. Synchronization
The ability to synchronize the storage space or a subsection of the storage space to a specific location on a local file system. If there is no file-locking, this may also warrant a Version Control System or CRDT to resolve the editing conflicts of a file.
[i.e Sync: Dropbox, OneDrive, Rclone] [i.e Collision: Google Docs/Sheets, Adobe Collaborative Editing, Git, etc]

Combining 1 and 3 is the equivalent of using a shared local network. My issue with cloud solutions (i.e Google Drive) is that the file structure of shared documents is lost. When I share a nested folder (i.e Space > Sub > A) with someone, that person is only able to see "A". This is confusing and relies on the search feature.
2 would allow any software that uses the local system to be used with roles. As an example, Obsidian doesn't have sharing built-in. However, one could add this functionality by using the Obsidian application in a folder on that file manager; with the role-based restrictions applying to actual files.
