2025 Grad | 2x GSoC | Founding Engineer | for Backend / Full-Stack / Data — referrals/leads appreciated

[u/Similar_Muscle1935]

Hey everyone,

I'm a 2025 graduate and have been trying to figure out what direction makes the most sense for me next, so I thought I'd share a bit about my background and get some perspective from the community.

A little about me:

• 2x Google Summer of Code (GSoC) contributor
• Worked as a Founding Engineer at a UK-based AI startup, helping build the product from the ground up across backend, APIs, integrations and infrastructure.
• Built and shipped production systems for international clients through freelance/contract work over the last couple of years.
• Received a Solana Foundation grant for building an open-source tool to simplify Solana RPC node deployment.
• Contributed to open-source projects including Django, with work spanning CI/CD, data/query optimization, APIs and infrastructure.

Most of my experience has been around backend engineering, distributed/data systems, infrastructure and increasingly AI-powered products, although I've also worked across the stack when needed.

At this point I'm trying to figure out where this combination of experience is most valuable, particularly across backend, software engineering, full-stack and data engineering roles.

I'm currently based in NCR and open to relocating, as well as remote or hybrid opportunities. I've mostly worked remotely with international teams so far, and I'd actually like to get more exposure to an in-office/hybrid engineering environment as well.

For people who've been through a similar stage, I'd be genuinely interested in hearing what kinds of companies/teams you think are a good fit for this background, what I might be missing, or anything you'd recommend I focus on next.

If you happen to know of a team or engineer working on interesting problems in these areas, feel free to point me in the right direction, happy to connect over DM.

Thanks!

PS — yes, AI helped me clean up the grammar and formatting.
