Résumé/CV: https://punkbit.com/docs/cv-punkbit-helder-oliveira.20250728...

I'm a Product Engineer and a creative based in London. I’ve built full-stack applications across web, mobile, blockchain and embedded platforms. My client-side work includes React, Electron, Roku’s Scenegraph, and native iOS development with Swift and SwiftUI, always with a strong focus on UX and design-first thinking. On the service-side, I’ve worked with traditional service hosting, containers, and serverless, including (but not limited to) AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, Workers, CloudFormation, SAM CLI, nodejs, bunjs, MySQL, Postgres, NoSQL, grpc, Redis, Docker, nginx, and a few legacy tools best left unnamed (yes, including CodeIgniter and ftp).

I’ve also developed developer tools like CLIs and SDKs, primarily JavaScript land, and have written code in systems languages such as Rust and Zig.

In the AI space, I’ve integrated models via the OpenAI SDK, leveraged prompts, LLMs, and explored LangChain/LangGraph.

I care about clean code, great UX, developer experience, documentation (yes), rapid iteration and automating workflows with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Bash scripts, etc).

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.

I am a recent graduate with a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Mathematics with approximately 2 years of experience from internships and contract jobs. While my degree provided a strong theoretical foundation, I am a hands-on developer who learns by building and teaching myself technologies by diving into documentation.

My in-progress (demo) project is a full-stack marketplace application built with Java/Spring, TypeScript/Angular, and PostgreSQL. I also took on the challenge of containerizing it with Docker and setting up a complete CI/CD pipeline on Azure with GitHub Actions: https://ifesunmola.com/marketplace-a-demo-application/

My *passion for fundamentals also led me to build a compiler for my programming language that generates JVM bytecode (link in website).

I enjoy exploring diverse computer science topics out of curiosity, and I am looking for an opportunity where I can contribute to meaningful projects while growing alongside a talented team.

*It was more of an obsession that I just needed to get out of my system.

I’m a generalist engineer with past experience including full-stack engineering at a YC legal-tech startup and full-stack + cloud infra at an NYC quant fund. I also have entrepreneurship experience that gives me an understanding of the end-to-end product development process at early stage startups.

My current project is a study mode for AI assistants with spaced repetition integration: https://app.polymax.ai/study-mode

I’m skilled at taking initiative on projects and synthesizing requirements from multiple stakeholders into meaningful technical solutions. I’m passionate about functional programming, building reliable and scalable distributed systems, and optimizing developer experience. I also speak 4 languages (English, Sinhala, Mandarin Chinese, and Thai).
