I’m currently open for contract or freelance gigs.

I've been contracting for Apple for several years, currently as a Program Manager and before that a data engineer building data processing pipelines, internal web apps, and writing automation scripts.

I know Python and Javascript/Typescript well, and use Vue/Nuxt as the framework for my web projects. A lot of my projects deal with building bespoke tools and web interfaces. A common theme running through many of them is harvesting previously inaccessible data like one's twitter bookmarks and podcast transcripts and building custom search engines out of them. Check out my projects page for some examples.

I'm just starting out in trying to make this freelance/gig lifestyle work, so I'm open to any kind of work. If I can be helpful or you'd like to chat about anything else, please reach out on Twitter (preferred) or email: 626ripes (at) gmail. I can also provide a resume upon request.
