Andrew Dirksen Email & Phone Number

Generalist Rust Software Engineer with a focus on making reliable and maintainable software. Loves being elbows deep in Rust code or teaching and guiding others. I thrive when iterating on non-specific requirements or even building something without a clear problem statement. I'll specify those requirements and elucidate that problem. In other words, I'll hold your hand and work with you to figure out what you need.I thrive in environments where I can both teach and be taught by extremely talented individuals, and my current job has been a great example of this.I have been writing software professionally since 2014 and using Rust since 2018.I'm not actively searching for a new job, but feel free to reach out if you have something you think would be of interest. I won't consider offers with a base salary less than 400k except when the role would involve philanthropic development and/or open source contributions. I'm also not interested in roles related to cryptocurrency or projects that use DLT without good reason. Companies funded by ICO need not apply.Only need half of my time? That can be arranged. A salaried part-time role is not out of the question.If you want to take advantage of my accumulated software wisdom, or just want to chat about what you are working on, feel free to email me. I'll be glad to help and to become acquainted in the process. This offer is free of charge.

Listed skills include Functional Programming, Declarative, Git, Test Automation, and 24 others.
