Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2019)

If you are looking for an experienced programmer, please skip this ad. If you are looking for someone that can solve hard, uncommon problems, please read on.

I'm an experimental physicist. I got my PhD plus five years of experience in fundamental particle physics in the largest labs around the world: At CERN (Switzerland), Fermilab (IL, US) and TRIUMF (BC, Canada). I worked on experiments at the largest particle accelerator built to date, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), being a leading scientist in searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model Of Particle Physics, the most accurate theory mankind has discovered to date.

I developed scientific software in C++, python and bash, using ROOT, hadoop or spark; and I got a strong Linux background. More importantly, though, I've found solutions to difficult problems, and in doing so answered scientific questions.

I developed advanced silicon detector prototypes, that trigger responses by single particles passing through them.

Moreover, I worked in big collaborations, where good teamwork and effective project management is essential. I also introduced many doctoral students to the amazing world of particle physics and the strange world of human technology that we use to answer questions arising in particle physics.

Lately I got a little bit frustrated with the progress in fundamental science, plus we seem to hit a wall, where progress is not possible without large sums of public funding, which is the reason I'm considering moving to the private sector.

I'm looking for a high profile position, where I can lead people, use my technical knowledge and grow, both personally and together with the company. If you are looking for a personality with versatile skills, an excellent analytic problem solving mind, and a teamleader, I am interested to hear more about your position.

I'm looking for a job as a Front-End Webdeveloper in the aforementioned cities. I've been working as a webdeveloper since 2010, both in Canada and Germany. I'm a certified "Fachinformatiker Richtung Anwendungsentwicklung" (IT expert in application development) and I made my German Abitur at a school for Arts and Multimedia, which helped me understand the design-heavy front-end webdevelopment.

I'm currently living in Bremen, Germany, because I've been helping my parents renovate and now sell their old house for the past 2 years. We found a buyer and will be moving out by Mid-March 2020. I will help my parents move closer to my sister and then move away myself shortly after.

I'm looking for employment starting in June or July 2020.
