Hi, I'm Andy and I have 7 years of experience working on back-end financial APIs. I'm looking for a full-time software engineering role and I'm eager to learn new technologies.

Résumé/CV: https://hboon.com/about/

Email: hboon@motionobj.com

Looking for part-time work as I build my own products. Especially interested in one-off ad-hoc architecture pre-ship reviews.

30 years experience in software development.

Security Engineer and Full-Stack Developer who "bleeds tech." I am also a justice-impacted individual. Since being released from incarceration three years ago, I have fought every single day to rebuild. It hasn’t been easy. In Spring 2023, I secured a life-changing DevSecOps role at a Canada-based firm, only to have the offer rescinded due to a background check. Just months ago, I lost a promising contract-to-hire position after being transparent about my "colorful background" pre-offer.

I have protected systems at Tinder, Verizon Media, UCLA Health, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

I am looking for the one company willing to take a chance on a re-entering citizen who brings a level of resilience you won't find in a standard resume.

Hi, I'm Igor. I have 9+ years of experience as a software engineer and technology-oriented China specialist. Based in Switzerland. I have designed and implemented a large part of internal production systems at a well-known international printing company, and currently develop innovative at a Swiss networking company.

I've been engaged with China since 2015. In 2020, I've started a degree in Chinese Studies at the University of Zürich. In 2024, I have finished a scholarship at the BFSU, the best language university in China. I have interpreted between Polish, English and Mandarin Chinese for the Polish Trade & Investment Agency at the Polish-Chinese Economic Forum in Shanghai (see pics on LinkedIn). I also keep tabs on technology and Chinese cybersecurity laws through Chinese sources and keep in touch with open source enthusiasts based in Mainland China and in Taiwan.
