I'm an UI/UX designer, Italy. Always interested in opportunities (short-term, long-term, or even a co-founder).

I hope I finish my side project soon, just to have something to show (aside from freelancing work). Some projects I've disclosed: http://www.pmura.com/labs

(With all the coders and people like http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1558995 on HN, I'm feeling like crossing a deserted market, in a dystopian world, full of people looking at me like a weird "something".)

Melbourne, Australia. Programming since 1986. Latest work: Linux device drivers for an air traffic control system, medical equipment and a cell phone base station. Earlier work: portable data terminals, air conditioning control systems, remote order entry systems, telephone banking, EFTPOS terminals and networks, various communications programs, web pages for remote control of communications equipment. Major accompli…

I am losing a developer who is moving to Australia simply for the life experience, which is a great reason in my books, although I hate to lose him. Just curious – how is the developer/tech job scene in Melbourne and Sydney right now?

I'm a math major with one more semester of school left (graduating in December). I'm currently located in Atlanta but I am willing to relocate anywhere, especially the Bay Area. I'm enthusiastic about graphic design, user interfaces, and technology in general.

I spend a lot of time in Photoshop, Illustrator, Omnigraffle, and Flash, but I am willing to learn anything and everything. I've recently put a website together where you can see some of the art I've done: http://vveleva.weebly.com/ As for programming, I'm familiar with html, css, javascript and Java, and I'm learning python (having fun playing with visual libraries).

I'm flexible about compensation; I just really want to get my foot in the door and start learning from some smart people.

I can be reached at vvveleva at gmail.

I'm not really looking for a job currently, but I'm interested in who would find someone with my skill set useful: Ph.D. in astrophysics, 15yr research experience, lots of coding in C++ and Python (mostly numerical, Monte Carlo, parallel computation, radiation transfer stuff). In general a pretty all-round kind of guy. If an opportunity came along, I would be interested in something where I could use my knowledge of…

How about SpaceX? We have a lots of openings for engineers, you might be interested in the software engineering position: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA3/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=SP...

There are a lot more low level technical programming jobs in Sydney than there are in Melbourne despite a difference in population of only 12.7%. For example, a search for "embedded" on the Seek job site at http://www.seek.com.au yielded eight jobs for Melbourne and 26 for Sydney.

On the other hand, living in Sydney is more expensive with average purchase prices of $A515K ($US464K) for a flat and $A600K ($US541K) for a house as opposed to $A485K ($US437K) and $A510K ($US460K).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm sorry I pretty much stopped working with employees and I'm half the world away but with that sort of background you'd almost want to create a thing around you that fits your skill-set. Physics simulation is a world of its own, and as more and more of this software finds its way on to clusters you can't really avoid the networking portion of writing code (unless abstracted away in MPI or so, but then it still help…

Thanks, it's nice to know that someone thinks it's useful! I'm just wondering who the right party is... ;-)

It sounds like Google might like to have you on board. Have you considered applying with them?
