Forest Hoffman

I am open to full-time and 100% remote opportunities. I am not open to relocation.

As a self-taught engineer I have experience with a wide range of tech stacks and platforms. I am self-sufficient, reliable, and adaptable. That said, I particularly enjoy working on teams that have: a clear direction, excellent communication, and an eye for quality.

I am interested in:

Full-time positions
Remote first organizations
Engineer or Senior Engineer positions
Go, TypeScript, or Node
RESTful APIs
Microservices
Distributed systems
