Hi! My name is Ethar, though you'll get away with pronouncing it "Ether". I've been a full stack guy for almost 30 years and these days, churn out JS, Node, C#, both SQL & NoSql and run on AWS, including developing IoT platforms and Alexa skills. As well as coding help, I also encourage developers and architects to look at problems differently. Committing to effective, clean, value driven solutions is crucial and my experience both in code and business provides a unique slant on why code is written in the first place. I also regularly recruit, so understand the needs of folk trying to break into the industry. Despite almost 30 years of commercial years in the IT industry, holding very senior roles, and running companies and organisations, I still prefer coding. I've spent a lot of time doing complex computing tasks and building circuits, and work across IoT, AI/Machine Learning, High performing computing and use Lean-EA and Lean Startup to help enterprises and startups alike work more effectively. Many of my calls end in YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It), which saves on unnecessary costs elsewhere. Ethics? Plenty. Probably to my own detriment. Projects: Contributed to OSS including JabaJS and a local community tech calendar Alexa Skill OSS project called "WhatGeeks" (accepting PRs if you're interested).
Technical leader with 9 years building scalable solutions across auction platforms, content management systems, and enterprise applications. Currently leading AI-First development at Pickles Auctions, helping teams adopt GitHub Copilot and modern development practices. Strong background in microservices, CLI tools, and data engineering with a focus on mentoring developers and designing systems that solve real business problems.
I teach Operating Systems and functional programming fundamentals to CS students and guide fellow professionals through legacy codebase maintenance, practical software architecture, and new language/framework learning skills. For students, I offer two types of sessions - one is a lecture-style session where I can go over course notes/slides on a particular topics and offer additional explanations and examples to improve your understanding of the material. Another type is an assignment take-up session where I can go over a past assignment and guide you through steps to solving it. For working professionals, I offer the following options: * Focused problem-solving sessions - if you have a particular issue that you're stuck with in a project you're working on, I can pair with you over Zoom screen-sharing * Code review - if you cannot understand how to work with part of your codebase or if you'd like a second opinion on work that you've just completed, I can pair with you over Zoom and do a live code review and/or prepare ahead of time and go over my findings on a call * Long-term mentorship - if you would like to learn some more fundamental skills or pick up a framework/design pattern/best practices, I can develop a custom-tailored learning plan that fits your skill level and schedule and offer regular teaching sessions with optional take-home exercises A bit about me --- I am a tech founder and a senior polyglot/full-stack developer, with a passion for teaching and mentorship. In a bit of spare time from my work, I am looking to help fellow software developers get more comfortable with our craft and exercise my teaching skills while I'm at it. So far, I've done a wide range of work - web app front-end and back-end, data pipelines at scale, DevOps/infrastructure, mobile (quite a bit of iOS and previously some Android) and some security. I have a reasonable taste for UI design and user experience, despite that not being my primary specialization. The industries I've worked in so far were heavily concentrated around finance/banking/FinTech and GovTech, although I've also been a founding developer at a couple of B2C startups and learned a lot throughout that experience. My personal research interests include operating systems and programming language theory. As cliche as it sounds, I try to learn something new all the time and I consider this of vital importance to my professional skillset. I always prioritize systems understanding and learning how to learn over memorizing APIs - and it's a philosophy that I try to share with my students as well. Teamwork and constant exchange of expertise with my peers is a close second most important value to me. A software product can be almost meaningless without a team that welcomes learning from failures, encourages curiosity and fosters true human friendships, and empathy both towards each other and towards the customers of the software we create. New client intake process --- 1. Intro/triage call [free of charge] [15 min] - this is a Zoom video call where I try to understand your background, the problem you're looking to solve and whether I believe we'd be a good fit for a productive mentor/mentee relationship. 2. Supplemental terms acceptance - as an independent contractor and not an employee of Arc, I ask my clients to accept a few additional terms that make session time measurement, scheduling and work product acceptance more precise, and further clarify the extent of our mentorship relationship. 3. Creation of Freelance Job/Scheduled Session on Codementor - if you haven't done that yet, I will ask you to create and assign me a freelance job and/or a scheduled session with a precise description of the topics we would be covering. For certain sessions, preliminary preparation may be required - if that is the case, we would discuss the details and estimated time ahead of time and a Freelance Job would be required to cover the effort of the preparation. Availability --- Please take a look at my Codementor calendar to plan intro calls and sessions. Generally, I am available between 3:30pm and 8pm Eastern Time (New York/Toronto), Monday to Saturday, but I try to schedule all of my teaching engagements between 6pm and 8pm whenever possible. *IMPORTANT: Urgent sessions are unfortunately not available at this time.* I am currently working through Codementor as a mentor, and unable to work as an on-call freelance developer. Please also note that I cannot provide consultations over chat - in my experience, it's generally more time-consuming for everyone, and copy-pasting code over chat can get messy. For those reasons, I only work through Zoom video calls with screen sharing. If you have any questions about the process or would like to book a call, I am happy to chat on Codementor - I should be usually available Monday-Saturday, 1pm - 8pm Eastern Time, subject to my other engagements. While I try to respond as soon as I can, I may take up to one business day or longer depending on how busy my schedule might get.
Is your AI-powered MVP built on a fragile 'vibe-coded' foundation? Are you struggling to scale a prototype that was built with lightning speed but is now plagued by bugs, security holes, and technical debt? I transform brittle AI prototypes into robust, **production-ready applications**. As a senior AI engineer specializing in the **Node.js** and **React** ecosystem, I bridge the gap between rapid, AI-assisted development and the disciplined engineering required for scalable, secure software. But robust software is only half the battle. The other half is making it *work for your business*. I design and implement **intelligent automation workflows** that connect your apps, eliminate manual tasks, and free up your team to focus on high-impact work. Whether you need to rescue a failing project, automate a core business process, or build a scalable MVP from the ground up, I provide the expert oversight to ensure your AI initiatives deliver real, measurable value. **My Core Services:** * **🤖 AI Code Rescue & Remediation:** I conduct deep **AI code audits** to debug, refactor, and secure fragile codebases (especially those built with LangChain.js). I turn unmaintainable prototypes into stable, scalable assets ready for real users. * **⚙️ Intelligent Workflow Automation & Integration:** I design and build digital assembly lines for your business. I offer a full spectrum of automation solutions: * **Rapid Integration:** Using **Zapier, Make.com & n8n** to connect your existing tools and solve immediate process bottlenecks. * **Custom API Development:** Building custom **Node.js** APIs and webhooks to connect proprietary systems or handle complex logic that no-code tools can't. * **AI-Powered Decisions:** Infusing your workflows with intelligence using the **OpenAI API** to triage support tickets, qualify sales leads, or generate content automatically. * **🚀 Custom AI Solution Development:** I architect and build bespoke AI solutions from scratch, from **Custom GPTs** and intelligent **AI Agents** to complex RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines that leverage your private data. * **👨🏫 AI Engineer & Career Mentorship:** I provide 1-on-1 coaching to help developers navigate the AI landscape, master tools like LangChain.js, and build a successful career in AI engineering and automation. **My Tech Stack:** * **Languages:** Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript * **Frameworks:** React, Next.js, Express.js, NestJS * **AI / LLM:** LangChain.js, OpenAI API, LlamaIndex, Vector Databases (Pinecone, Qdrant) * **Automation Platforms:** Zapier, Make.com, n8n Ready to move past the prototype phase and build a real business? **Send me a message with your project details or book a session to get started.** --- ### Service Packages * **Package 1: AI Code Audit & Production-Ready Roadmap** * **Description:** Have an AI-generated MVP that feels unstable? I'll perform a comprehensive review of your codebase. You'll receive a detailed report identifying security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and a concrete, actionable roadmap to make your application **production-ready**. This is the perfect first step to de-risk your project. * **Package 2: Intelligent Automation Workflow** * **Description:** Let's put a core business process on autopilot. We'll map out a high-impact workflow and I'll build a robust automation to solve it. Ideal for **automating lead qualification**, **triaging customer support tickets**, or **streamlining content pipelines** using the best tool for the job—Zapier, Make, or custom Node.js scripts. * **Package 3: Scalable AI MVP Development** * **Description:** Need to build an MVP the *right* way? I'll architect and develop a **scalable MVP** from day one, using professional, spec-driven development practices. We'll build a strong foundation with clean, documented code and a modern stack (Node.js, React) to avoid the technical debt that plagues "vibe-coded" projects.
I define the architecture. For 21 years, I've been the person CTOs and lead developers call when systems fail under load, migrations are at risk or AI integration needs to work right the first time. With expertise in .NET, Python, Blazor, ASP.NET Core, SQL and agentic AI architecture (LLMs, reasoning engines, Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, tool-calling agents), I design systems where performance, reliability, and intelligent automation aren't optional—they're the baseline. I deliver AI in production, not prototypes. I’ve architected and deployed AI-powered systems across financial platforms, education and exam automation, and real estate market intelligence, including enterprise-grade solutions for organizations such as The New York Times, Project Management Institute (PMI), Walmart, Merit Wealth, Namfus and BlueberryCMS. --- **Here's where I'm most useful to you:** - **The AI Integration Trap** — You've been asked to add AI to your existing .NET system but don't know whether to use *Semantic Kernel*, raw OpenAI APIs, or a Python sidecar. I've made that decision dozens of times. I'll make it faster and safer for you. - **The Blazor Bottleneck** — Your Blazor app is slow, state management is tangled, and you're unsure if you chose *Server or WASM* incorrectly. I can diagnose what went wrong and map a clean path forward — often in a single session. - **The Legacy Modernization Cliff** — You have a 10-year-old .NET system that needs AI or modern tooling but wasn't designed for it. I specialize in *incremental refactoring paths* that don't require a full rewrite and don't break what's already working. --- **What I Do Best:** - **Software Architecture & System Design** — scalable, maintainable systems from greenfield to enterprise - **AI Agent Development** — production-grade agents with Semantic Kernel, LangGraph & AutoGen — *not demos* - **Blazor & ASP.NET Core** — Server, WASM, hybrid — full-cycle development and performance tuning - **Python & AI Automation** — RAG pipelines, workflow automation, voice AI, LLM integrations, chatbots - **Legacy .NET Modernization** — refactoring strategy, migration paths, incremental upgrades - **Architecture Audits** — identifying structural risk before it becomes a production incident, not after - **Debugging Complex Systems** — when the stack trace doesn't tell the whole story **If any of this sounds like your current situation — DM me. I respond to every message.**
Hi! I love Java, Python, Javascript, distributed systems, large scale systems, machine learning, natural language processing and image processing.
