Man, I'd be interested but all the web stuff is not my wheelhouse. Maybe the better path is I tinker with lmbench for you just for fun. I'm not really looking for work so much as some interactions with sharp people.
Since I retired I've been doing some for hire tractor/excavator work (I live above you in the Santa Cruz mountains, have 3 Kubotas) and a lot of wrenching with my mechanic. Who is a decent mechanic but because he's in so much pain he frequently self medicates which makes him not a member of the sharp people team.
So I'm missing the conversations that engineers have. Normal people are fine and all but not as fun as poking at a hard problem with someone smarter than me.
I kinda think the job that might be good for me is helping out a VC firm that funds sort of system stuff, like cloud stuff, I/O stuff, etc. I'm a dinosaur, I like C, I like kernels, I like thinking about I/O and how to scale it. Systems stuff is where I like to be and there don't seem to be too many places that want that anymore. Or I'm just not aware of them.
Brendan if you ever want to go to lunch and yap about lmbench or tell me what you are working on, hey, lunch is on me. We can go to crappy chinese (I used to have offices in the water tower plaza and that's what we called the chinese place that's just up the street from you. It's the best chinese we could find but it's nowhere near as good as San Francisco chinese food, hence the name) or whereever is good, I'd love to find a new good place for food down there.
