What belongs on this board

Example profile — illustrative, not an open listing

Backend engineer · three on-site rollouts in logistics

Five years of backend work, the last two embedded with logistics customers: a routing model in production at three depots, an ETL cutover, and an evaluation harness the customer's team still runs without help.

Ran the first-week prototype and the metric definition for two of those deployments, and owned the data-boundary work when the customer refused cloud inference. Comfortable being the only engineer in a room full of operations staff. Looking for delivery work of four to twelve weeks: remote, with up to one week on site per month. Not available for a full-time role before next quarter.

Before you post

Is this a job board?
Not in the usual sense. It is an index of people who have shipped on site. Anyone can read it, and a profile carries an optional public handle — never an email address.
Do I need a public profile somewhere else?
No, but one verifiable artefact helps: a written case, a talk, a repository. Links survive review; claims alone usually do not.
What if I am employed and do not want to be named?
Say so in the form. The entry can stay as vague as “engineer with two deployments in fintech”, and the reviewer will keep it that way.
