Hi, I'm Derick Ruiz, a Documentation Specialist and JavaScript Developer with over 5 years of experience. I've written articles, emails, and developer docs for startups at different stages, including YC companies, helping them grow by using my technical knowledge and writing skills. With over 5 years of experience in technical writing, I've contributed to various companies including: - Crossmint (web3 payments): Helped attract more web3 NFT developers through a complete overhaul of technical documentation and new technical posts on Medium, leading to a 1.4x increase in onboarded developers in July 2022.

- Amplication (>13K GitHub stars): Revamped developer docs, wrote high-quality technical content, and doubled documentation engagement, resulting in a 53% increase in average documentation page visits per user and 63,478 total documentation page visits within 6 months.

- Vue Mastery: Grew Medium traffic by over 479,000 views through 8 educational, SEO-focused articles, achieving a total read time of 161 hours and 18 minutes.

- Text Blaze (YC W21), DigitalOcean, and The Startup (a top publication on Medium).

Are you looking for a technical writer who understands developers and can write you articles, emails, and developer docs that actually convert? Email me. I look forward to talking with you!

Location: EU Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

Location: Romania

Remote: Only. Have done it for most of my career, have home office and not kitchen table, can work async, used to time zone differences etc etc.

Willing to relocate: Not on the first date.

Technologies: C++, Python, Yocto, winapi, Qt, iot stuff, arm linux, all those buses like i2c, spi, serial, Android, ancient experience with Delphi.

Résumé/CV: Linkedin link in profile, or same user as here.

Email: Description in profile.

General use developer/architect/lead for those keywords above or other keywords.

Used to working independently, designing and coordinating tiny teams.

Have carried a lot of customer's bits from wherever they were generated to wherever they were needed. Either just talking to sensors or doing the whole chain, daemons and GUIs if the project required them. Have done software archaeology on mature code bases and fixed/improved them.

I'm probably not a great fit for the formal startup/corporate world, I'd fit better helping in a small organization. Assuming someone from a small organization reads these threads.

Not necessarily looking for full time employment, if someone just wants to get to know people via part time / fixed duration projects, that would be even better for a start.

Can rapidly learn new technologies. Game, Web, GIS, robotics development experience. Build my own 8-bit computer: https://nickvanurk.com/8bit.mp4 Optimizing things gets me all excited. Check out these Three.js demos I made: https://everwilds.io/ https://evergate.io/ https://nickvanurk.com/physics/ and https://nickvanurk.com/capping/ https://nickvanurk.com/prototype/ In my free time I like to work on small web games like Everwilds.io. Professionally I worked on the moddio (https://www.modd.io/) game engine (typescript) and SPARQ game engine (c++, to be released) as an engine programmer. I find I enjoy web/typescript more than native/c++ so I would like to return to that space.

If you have a cool web game (engine) project or web tool with a 2D / 3D graphical component to work on please feel free to reach out by email or LinkedIn!
