I am currently building on-chain solutions for Domination Finance. I fit equally well in ordinary back-end positions (Python, Ruby, APIs, etc) and in roles working closer to the metal (Solidity, C, hardware prototyping). I am not seeking out new clients at the moment.
For programmers, Chicago is a finance city, but I would like to work for a company doing good in the world. If that's you, drop me a line on LinkedIn or email me at <this domain>@gmail.com.
