I've been doing software development for about 2 years, still very much a junior. I currently do backend work (Python, Django, asynchronous queue workers, etc.) for a mid-sized startup in NYC. My company currently needs a lot of infra/dev-ops work, but it doesn't have the resources to train a junior to help in this sphere. I'd love to connect with someone who has some crazy dev-ops/general linuxery skills under their belt, maybe just talk about/watch how they work on large scale projects and get some tips on how to get experience in this area without using my company's infra as a guinea pig. I'm also very interested in audio signal processing. I've done a little work with Apple's Core Audio API, but would love to chat with someone in NYC who has real experience doing hardcore work with audio DSP.
