I'm in the "sniffing around" stage. I would like to get back to hardware-focused development, but I am still exploring my options. I figure this is a good way to find out who might be interested in my skillset for that type of work. Ideally, I would like to work on firmware and FPGA development, ASIC V&V, "big" or "little" embedded, or something similar. I'm open to any type of company; I mainly want good tools, flexible scheduling, a quiet environment, and no government contracting/security bullshit (after 12 years I'm tired of it).

I have a variety of experience acquired on my slightly winding career. I like variety and being a multidisciplined engineer. In addition to the electrical, systems, and software engineering experience I have some basic-level mechanical engineering knowledge.

[1] This requires explanation. My experience is in systems engineering by the INCOSE definition[2], not IT systems engineering. Adding to the title/skill confusion, I'm a decent sysadmin and know my way around Linux. I am not, IMO, good enough to get paid to be a sysadmin/devops/IT systems engineer. I don't really have a desire to be, either.

I'm most comfortable on the frontend, playing with JS and MV* frameworks. A fair amount of data visualization with g.raphael. I like snowboarding, hiking, biking, and running long distances. I served, briefly, in the Navy before injuries sent me home.

I would like to request that technical recruiters hold off on reaching out unless you _really_ have a position you think is a great fit. Thank you!

Southern Brazil, Remote or Relocation (anywhere), Full Time (preferred) or Contract

Stack: Ruby, JavaScript, EmberJS, HTML5, CSS3

Resume: http://juliogreff.net/resume/

Spent the last few years working mostly on the backend side on long running projects, looking forward to get back on doing full stack dev, I miss working with startups. I'm mostly interested in developing products from the ground up, so I'd be a great fit for a tech co-founder, but I have no problem dealing with existing codebases. Feel free to approach me if you have an idea that generates actual value.

NYC, In-House, Full-Time

Front-End. Entry-Mid level. I enjoy native (JS, HTML, CSS). I work mostly with Native JS, jQuery, Sass, Stylus, Yeoman, Grunt, Bower, and tons of small libraries.

I've purposefully kept a very native stack because I wanted to stay true to a solid foundation and then join a company where I could learn in-depth about the frameworks/libraries that they're using. I'd be particularly excited to learn Backbone, Angular, or work in a Pythonic codebase.

Sideproject (Rails): http://subella.com

Personal: http://christianryel.com

Email is in HN profile page if anybody has questions.

I'd also REALLY appreciate any constructive criticism.

[Looking to:] Relocate to West Coast: Seattle, Portland, San Fran, LA, Diego. Currently in St. Louis, Missouri.

[Looking for:] Long Term Internship

[Stack:] Photoshop, Illustrator, CSS, Paper

[Resume:] http://www.chrisnorstrom.com/page/3/ (starts on last page)

[Sites I've Made (that are still up):] http://dayonepp.com/ http://affordabl.es/ http://timeforzen.com/ http://residentevilradio.com/ http://tasck.com/2/

[Unfinished Alpha Prototypes (removed password so you can browse):] http://startupcollider.com/ http://60lbgloss.com/

[Contact:] Chris@NorcoPhoenix.com

[Needs:] I've only ever done design for myself. I've got my own strange way of doing things so I don't feel confident with my abilities in front of an employer. I don't have work experience other than my own projects and some freelancing and I've never used the tools and methodologies that other UX UI designers do (other than photoshop and paper) so I'm looking for a place to grow at. As you can tell from the little sites I've made, I don't care what it is, world changing or not I just like designing, even the mundane and boring parts of it.

Location: Madison, WI | Remote, Local, or Relocation [prefer remaining in United States] | Full Time, Part Time [depending on opportunity), Contract (depending on opportunity)

Stack: Java, Objective-C

Resume: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gm46etnn60dl4cv/AP_Resume.pdf

Contact: see resume

I have spent considerable time in college trying various courses and major programs to figure out what I want to do with my life. I have learned my passions though, mainly technology and politics. I love to help people, and want to do that through creating new ideas that will drive us all forward. I have optimistic goals and a desire to learn that are not being challenged by my education. While being a full-time student I have also worked various IT positions across campus. This is where I learned Active Directory, some HTML skills, how to use UNIX based systems, Objective-C, File Maker, Creative Suite, and the list goes on. I have a lot of untapped potential and a pent-up desire to let loose on a project if someone is willing to give me the opportunity.

I would appreciate any constructive criticism and advice as well.
