texsearch

I used Ancient years ago for https://github.com/jamii/texsearch to stop the GC pauses caused by pointlessly traversing the huge immutable index. I don't know how else I would have met the latency requirements. Thanks for writing it :)

Location: Berlin Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Python, clojure, julia, rust, javascript. Less recently erlang, ocaml, haskell. Recent heavy experience with relational query compilers, logic programming, reactive UI. Résumé/CV: http://scattered-thoughts.net/resume/ or https://github.com/jamii/ Email: jamie@scattered-thoughts.net I'm primarily looking for part-time or contract work. I spent the last two years building compilers and relational databases at Eve (http://witheve.com/). Before that I spent several years consulting. Some highlights: Item-item article recommendations for Springer users based on ~600m past downloads. Uses locality-sensitive hashing and external sorting to run on a single low-powered server. https://github.com/jamii/springer-recommendations Built a prototype replacement for the core trading engin

SEEKING WORK - Berlin/Remote I spent the last two years building compilers and relational databases at Eve (http://witheve.com/). Before that I spent several years consulting. Some highlights: Item-item article recommendations for Springer users based on ~600m past downloads. Uses locality-sensitive hashing and external sorting to run on a single low-powered server. https://github.com/jamii/springer-recommendations Built a prototype replacement for the core trading engine at the Smarkets betting exchange: 10x less code, 40x better throughput, 10x better 99% latency. Built a LaTeX aware search engine to power latexsearch.com. Covers the entire Springer library – more than 8m LaTeX equations. Searches by tree-edit distance on compressed syntax trees, using suffix arrays as a first-pass filter. https://github.com/jamii/texsearch Parallelized

SEEKING WORK - London or remote. I've worked in search [1-3], recommendations [4,5], analytics [6], testing [7], and distributed/p2p systems [8-11]. I have a strong background in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning). I've worked professionally with python, ocaml and erlang. I'm also rapidly approaching comfort in clojure. I've spent the last few months at the NYC Hacker School, adapting research from the BOOM [12] and STEPS [13] projects to build tools [14,15] for rapidly prototyping distributed algorithms. Before that I spent the summer as an intern at Jane St, working on a distributed messaging system which supports querying history by causal time intervals.

A good fraction of the freelance work I have done has required looking up papers (eg the current implementation for https://github.com/jamii/texsearch is based on a bioinformatics paper). It's fine when you only want a single specific paper but when I'm often looking for a solution to a problem I don't know the name of which means scanning through a couple of hundred papers an hour to see which ones are relevant.

SEEKING WORK - London or remote. I'm interested in distributed systems and big data. Some of the things I've been doing recently: testing multiple currency support at a betting exchange, building analytics widgets backed by a disco cluster for a large online publisher, working on an implementation of the telehash protocol. I've also worked in search [1,2], distributed systems [3], testing [4,5] and p2p systems [6,7,8]. I have a strong background in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning). I've worked professionally with python, ocaml and erlang. I would also like to pick up clojure.
