I'm El, a senior product designer, UX/UI designer, and graphic designer with 7+ years of experience working remotely for US/EU/AU-based companies. I've worked for B2B and B2C companies and startups in various industries: energy, entertainment, education, and finance.

Location: Tacoma, WA

Remote: Preferred (remote most of my career, comfortable with occasional travel)

Willing to relocate: Not ideally, but open for the right opportunity (would require relocation support and elevated comp)

Technologies: Python, AWS, GCP, Linux, Redis, SQL/NoSQL, event-driven systems, distributed architecture, domain-driven design, CI/CD, observability, data pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure, high-performance computing, AI/ML, and way more (check out my resume).

Résumé/CV: https://gordo.zeneval.com

Email: gordo@zeneval.com

Principal Systems Architect and Engineer with 20+ years of experience leading architectural transformation across startups and enterprise. I specialize in building distributed, event-driven systems and frameworks that reduce complexity, accelerate teams, and scale cleanly.

Recent wins include:

Reduced code volume by 99% while adding new functionality

Cut processing time by 96% through pipeline re-architecture

Lowered infra spend by 30% via performance tuning and optimization

Slashed deploy times by 75% with build concurrency and IaC improvements

Halved migration effort by automating brittle legacy refactors

I'm a systems thinker and strategic enabler. I wear many hats: architect, engineer, mentor, advisor, and have reported directly to CTOs, CEOs, and Directors of Engineering. I've built reusable frameworks, abstracted chaos into clarity, and embedded architecture as a shared discipline. I help teams move fast without incurring a future they can't afford or scale.

I prefer high-leverage roles in infra, platform, data systems, or technical strategy. I have deep health tech experience, but I'm generally open to other industries (NO adtech, NO crypto, NO AI/ML nonsense)

Targeting $300K+ total comp. If you're burning >$1M/year on cloud infra, I'll likely be able to save you that, and then some. If you're offering less than 250K base, don't waste my time please.

Hi, I'm Cursed Silicon. I'm exceptionally passionate about technology and have worn many, many hats at different roles over the years. My primary passion is systems admin/operations. I enjoy building well architected servers and networks and helping users solve problems with technology.

On the side I am also a digital antiquarian and amateur "retro computing" hobbyist. I find the history of computers fascinating and enjoy tinkering with old machines and software in my spare time.

Location: Africa or REMOTE

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where I can get the necessary permission to live and work. Occasional travel is possible.

Technologies: Linux, Front or Backend Web Development, General Software Development, System Administration.

Résumé/CV: on request (software development, CTO, mentoring, training, fluent in English and German, german citizenship)

Contact: Email: see profile or http://codingforafrica.at/

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work, but I am open to work on any interesting project. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I value good teamwork over fancy tech, and I don't shy away from working on legacy code. I am primarily motivated by solving problems, so let me help you solve your problems.

I am open to work for a company anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

In addition, I want to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. I also sponsor children that otherwise can't afford to go to school (see my website). If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up a team for you.

Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada Remote: Remote only

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies: HTMX, WASM, HTML, CSS, JS, WebAssembly, C, Odin, Node/Bun, MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, Laravel, PHP and more

Resume/CV: spirofloropoulos.com

Email: spirodonfl at gmail dot com

I've been programming for almost 25 years now. My skills range from websites to desktop applications to native mobile apps and more.

I created https://github.com/spirodonfl/htmx-offline-mode.

You can look at over a years worth of content where I build a video game in Zig, Odin and now C, compiled to WASM, running on the browser with no hardware acceleration, no canvas, no webgpu, no webgl, vanilla HTML, vanilla CSS (and css3d, btw), vanilla JS, all div elements, just to show it's possible. https://www.youtube.com/@SpiroFloropoulos

Team engagement, mentoring, hiring, devrel, content creation are all additional skills to programming. Building fast, simple, websites and applications is my bread and butter.

Location: Los Angeles

Remote: Yes

Relocation: Case-by-case

I'm a CTO, expert engineer, and data professional interested in team-building, consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.

At ATTN:, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily. I created SOPs for managing data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc.

More recently, I was the CTO and co-founder of a gaming startup. We raised over $6M and I was in charge of building out a team of over a dozen remote engineers and designers, with a breadth of experience ranging from Citibank, to Goldman Sachs, to Microsoft. I moved on, but retain significant equity and a board seat.

I am also a minority owner of a coffee shop in northern Spain. That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in flexing my consulting muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.

Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!
