Alec Flett

I am a jack-of-all-trades, specializing in data visualization, user interface, and application-level architecture for the web. I like working on highly interactive, end-user/consumer-level software. I can do anything from the top to the bottom of the stack. I most enjoy front end work, and I'm experienced and proficient in TypeScript/ESNext, React, D3, etc. I really like dynamic languages like Python and JS, but I also have extensive Go, C, and C++ experience.. And even a little Java though I hate admitting it. I have light experience with AWS and GCP, generally leaning towards serverless solutions. I prefer solving "big picture" problems, whether it's improving caching strategies for improved site performance, finding ways to make engineering teams collaborate better, or measuring and improving user engagement. I like to get my hands dirty writing lots of code. I also have some light experience dabbling with Arduino/ESPxxx and various sensors, 3D modelling/printing, lighting, mapping, etc. I am NOT interested in: - tools, operations, or release engineering jobs - anything south of San Francisco - anything involving large amounts of Java, or Perl - "classic" enterprise software, e.g. CRMs and the like Specialties: Open source software, data visualization, user interface technical design, dynamic languages, performance optimization.
