Hi there, I am in a unique situation and I thought I'd give this a try. Due to chronic illness I am actually on disability and have limitations in both working hours and salary due to this. For my early career I was advised by well meaning but non disabled people to lie and hide this and it created a vicious cycle of health issues and severe burn out. I will no longer work for any company without being upfront about this, which is a plus because it helps me find places where I thrive better, but also despite everything tech still is not great for part time or limited hours jobs. At this point also I have to be upfront because my resume became patchy due to taking time off for my health.

I started out in my career doing test automation stuff but then moved into backend rails stuff pretty quickly. I can pick stuff up pretty quickly if there is a patient team that supports pairing and peer support. I wouldn't do well in a non progressive workplace or a workplace where diverse hires are tokenized.

I feel like there could be a good fit out there in Seattle somewhere and this could be a mutually beneficial agreement...if your company has a bunch of little side projects I could tinker with, not mission critical stuff, and would be OK with super flexible part time hours. The hours/salary thing is important to discuss since I need certain hours for my health and need to keep an eye on salary so I can keep my health insurance.

I would love an environment where I could learn alongside smart people with things I never got into as much such as IOT hardware, AI, natural language, and rounding out my server/backend stack/devops knowledge.

I have mostly lived and worked as a backend dev in Seattle but I spent a year or so in Berlin doing the same. let me know if this sounds like a good fit!

Been looking for a job since I have graduated this past May to no avail so far. I have some experience as a Programming Co-Op at a paper mill but not too much experience other than that. Really looking for a company to give me a chance.
