Hello! My name is Kassandra Riley Spier-Swenson. I sometimes go by Kass or Kassie.

I made a very popular open source multiplayer video game faster (ss13) and then got kicked out of the community because I spoke out against sexual harassment and transphobic gender essentialism.
Been doing code and system/server administration for 15 years.
Once handled a 80gbps DDoS against a game server by making a tcp cloudflare out of micro vm haproxy relays (with first packet inspection to detect spoofed connections) and a cron script to sync nftable blocklists. This system is still in use.
Made a coqui-ai/TTS->RVS Machine Learning pipeline run on $200/m entry level GPU instances that could handle 100k requests an hour with less than a 250ms RTT in 99% of calls. This provided text to speech for a chat heavy video game with 90 player servers. This was my first python project and first time working with machine learning/AI. (<https://github.com/tgstation-operations/tgtts>) It was abandoned for a bloated mess that costs 10 times as much to run around the time I came out as trans (I'm sure it has no relation :3).
Have 0 years of professional employment in tech (it was all video game or open source stuff as a hobby.)
Please help me break into tech. I'm a bitching trans woman who clearly has skill :3
Remote: Please.
Willing to relocate: maybe, but only to places super friendly to trans women. (safe cities inside unsafe states are not a good fit.)
Technologies: Php, Ansible, HaProxy, Python3 (PyTorch, OnnxRuntime), cloudflare, Route53/GeoDns, DM, C/C++, C#.
