Hi DHI and ClearanceJobs team,
I call myself a technomancer. Technology has felt like magic to me since I was a kid, and I still love the moment when something complicated becomes useful to someone else. That is what draws me to ClearanceJobs: behind a search result or a message is a person trying to find their next opportunity, and another person trying to build a team.
Your Senior Software Engineer opening interests me because the work follows those people through the whole product. Helping a recruiter find someone is only the beginning; the forms, identity checks, conversations and follow-through have to work together. I enjoy understanding those handoffs, building the application around them and staying responsible when it is time to put the software into use.
NuPrice was a long-term client engagement from 2019 to 2021, beginning while I was still at Front Range Internet. I built and operated the reseller application, connecting marketplace and competitor data with user-defined pricing rules, accounts, subscriptions, billing and embedded support. Supporting the customers as well as the software meant a problem could start with a question about the interface and lead all the way into the data or operations behind it. That sustained responsibility is a part of product engineering I would bring to your team.
ProofMark is another useful example. My completed client contribution was the design of a document-signing workflow across identity, PDF fields, recipient routing, verification and audit history. The work joined UI, APIs and data, with explicit handling of security-sensitive state and fallback paths. It taught me to pay attention to what people need to understand at each step, as well as what the system needs to preserve underneath. I would bring that care to ClearanceJobs' recruiter workflows and identity integrations.
I also enjoy the architecture behind an interface. I am building Kerf, an early-development TypeScript/TSX framework with its own compiler, alongside its UI toolkit and a routing, authentication and data layer. The work brings together component design, explicit update behavior and compiler feedback that coding agents can act on. It is an independent framework, informed by my longstanding React work. I use AI heavily in engineering and creative work, and building the tooling around it keeps me thinking about how to make mistakes visible and keep the engineer responsible for the result.
That application work rests on an operational background. Through Technomancy IT, I build and operate client products and tenant-aware services, including OAuth/OIDC flows and access-controlled integrations. Earlier, I ran Front Range Internet's NOC, handled production escalations and migrated workloads from Hyper-V and VMware ESXi into Docker and Kubernetes. At Office Evolution, I built shared applications connecting CRM, onboarding, provisioning and service operations across departments and locations. Those experiences keep me attentive to both the person using a system and the people maintaining it.
TypeScript and React are central to my recent application work. I have also worked with Vue and PHP, although Laravel and PHP 8 would be a ramp-up rather than a claim of current hands-on depth. I would approach your established codebases by learning their conventions, asking useful questions and delivering changes the team can review and support. The small, experienced team and practical delivery culture described in your posting appeal to me; I like being able to discuss a decision honestly, learn from the people around me and then get the work done together.
I am based in Milliken, Colorado, and would welcome a conversation about the recruiter experience your team most wants to improve. Helping people make a meaningful connection is a good use of the kind of magic I have always wanted to build.
