Physicist and problem-solver with an M.Sc. in Planetary Sciences (1.3, FU Berlin) and a B.Sc. in Physics (1.9, Heidelberg). My background spans scientific computing, geospatial data analysis, time series analysis, and machine learning built over 6+ years of research across FU Berlin, DLR, and Heidelberg's Landessternwarte.

Currently working as an IT process developer at a logistics company, where I build internal tooling (JavaScript/Svelte), automate workflows with Power Automate, and create Power BI dashboards bridging the gap between science and practical software.

I pick up new domains quickly and enjoy tackling messy real-world problems. My background in physics, mathematics, and geoscience means I can read scientific literature and serve as a natural bridge between scientists and software engineers, speaking both languages fluently.

Open to full-time or contract positions.

Hi, I am ZxBlaster9001. My experience is mainly focused around updating the timestamp on copyright messages in website footers. I also permanently ban people for making smug remarks on IRC where I have multiple channels with Q and users respect my authority. I develop in notepad with the latest web technologies and recently have taken up Dreamweaver to ensure my customers require the latest standards and tiers in bandwidth available from my hosting providers. I make 150k$ a month from link-wheels between gambling and pornography websites and run schemes to boost ad referrals through them for additional ROI. I still live with my parents who love me a lot. And before you ask: IT'S A COMMAND CENTER!

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.
