About Arthur Kauffman

Specialize in distributed systems with a knack for navigating complex codebases and building strong teams. Problem-solving isn\'t just a skill, it\'s a passion. While not actively searching for new gigs, I appreciate a good challenge. If you\'re pitching roles that lean more towards \'upset the fruit basket\' than \'make a new Twitter,\' or if you have an idea for a side project, let\'s chat.
