Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Dirksen is a Senior Software Engineer based in the Portland metro area with 11 years of professional experience and a strong focus on reliable, maintainable systems built in Rust since 2018. He thrives on turning vague or undefined problems into clear requirements and delivers pragmatic, production-ready solutions while mentoring and learning from talented peers. Currently at PostEra and previously a core developer at Dock, he brings hands-on expertise across startups and systems roles, from QA to core Rust development. Andrew is open to flexible, part-time, or high-impact engagements (preferring roles that allow open source or philanthropic work) and is selective about compensation and projects, explicitly avoiding crypto/ICOs and DLT-for-the-sake-of-it. Known by the handle "technomancer" on GitHub, he pairs deep implementation skill with a teacher’s patience and a willingness to collaborate free of charge to help teams clarify needs.
