Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2020)

Location: Kaş, Andifli, Kaş/Antalya

Remote: Preferred. I'm highly experienced in starting and scaling cross-functional, autonomous teams internationally and remotely.

Willing to relocate: Yes. Coastal, sub-tropic latitudes in any longitude. Availability of marina/mooring facilities for a sailing liveaboard life would be highly motivating.

Technologies: Expert in full stack JavaScript, experienced with distributed systems, comfortable across web and mobile ui's, apis, platforms and infrastructure. I'm not necessarily married to a specific technology. I care deeply about architecture and maintainability.

------------------------------------------

I am a so-called t-shaped, generalist, servant-type engineering leader, mentor, facilitator with over 20 years of experience.

My last role at Paystack (YC'W16 backed by Stripe, VISA, Tencent) reorganizing and tripling the engineering team reporting to the CEO and working together with the CTO, gave the opportunity to navigate some very unique challenges and helped me decide what I want to pursue next.

I'm looking for a hands-on, senior engineering leadership role that would be set up to facilitate communication across often misaligned executive, product and engineering teams, helping emerge common strategy and support autonomous execution.

I'd especially prefer working in an environment where cultural common denominator is critical thinking that is used to pragmatically form or let go of opinions on business, product and technology alike.

Titles don't matter. You can call me whatever you like. I'm golden with plain Serkan and a vanilla engineering title accompanied by a warm smile :)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Broadly, frontend, CS degree and experience in basically every language. Typescript, JavaScript, and everything top to bottom on the stack from React, React Native to backend node. Swift, SwiftUI and iOS apps. Have built ML models from scratch and deployed them in production. I’m a designer specialized on brand - built out many brands top to bottom from logo to website, etc. Comfortable in an assortment of backend tech as well, have set up many backend services with docker, graphql, etc.

Résumé/CV: Not online, see https://tryorbit.com for some of my design and frontend talent (though it’s unfinished on mobile and overall, and built on a custom UI stack that’s quite intense + Framer Motion). I am probably the best all around person for (design * frontend * speed/output) you’ll find.

Email: See profile.

Long time developer, I’ve really specialized at the intersection of building performant and large scale apps on the frontend on time and with exceptional intuition for UX and architecture, not limited to just the web either (Swift and SwiftUI are a passion). I’ve started many companies, raised our last one through Founders Fund as the CTO and had success rolling it out at several companies.

Looking for PART TIME work. Really you should use me as a consultant to bootstrap your next stack. We have a lot of valuable tech we’ve built over the years.

Currently, my business partner and I have retooled our last stack to be a sort of “ultimate bootstrap” for a React Native + SwiftUI. We have a complete stack: Kubernetes, Rio, Hasura, a monorepo fully scripted and CI integrated with Github Actions. On the frontend gqless which we have found to be a miracle and flat out superior to Apollo Graphql in every way. We’ve spent many months getting Typescript and the monorepo to behave well.

And the coolest piece: a UI kit that takes react-native-web and puts a SwiftUI-like component set together (think: VStack, HStack), with a custom static extraction plugin that optimizes everything, even pre evaluating many things such that your final React components barely do any work at all.

Basically - if you want to put together or upgrade your frontend on React Native or want help putting together a SwiftUI app, you may not do better.

We are looking to extend our runway but not in a rush to deliver our product, so my goal is to take a couple days a week and put it towards your needs. Happy to chat more via email.

Experience: 3 years (I consider myself currently transitioning from junior to mid-level roles)

A few other links tell more about me:

- My newsletter with writing advice for developers: https://writingfordevelopers.substack.com

- My personal blog about my career transition from marketing to software development: https://rodrigohgpontes.github.io

- A side-project that I am building solo, from concept, to design, to development (React on serverless with FaunaDB): https://www.quidsentio.com

I have a better fit if the role is for working close to growth or product teams. I like to work close to product decisions.

I want to find a place where I can learn from experienced engineers and work among nice people.
