Melbourne, Australia (not really able to move). I have over 4 years experience developing commercial win32 C++ software. I like to read programming books like "Programming Erlang", "On Lisp" and "Real World Haskell". I would love to help develop quality software with a small, talented team.
Ask HN: Who needs a job?

Re: Ask HN: Who needs a job?
#72I'm in Mountain View and will probably move to SF in October when my lease is up. I dabble in web and iPhone design, program in C/C++/objective on a limited basis, and have some experience in marketing. I'm much stronger in video work and would probably be interested in some video gigs to bring in a little money.
Contact information?
Re: Ask HN: Who needs a job?
#73I particularly want to get involved with any developers or companies in the Boston area that specialize in libraries. I am particularly keen on academic libraries as I think it's a great space. They need great developers (existing software sucks) and are willing to pay good money for their work. I have 4 years experience working in Digital Library Services where I write services and web apps that interact with integr…
Are you aware of Koha

and Evergreen

open source ILSes? Those are complementary to your interests (albeit perl rather than python or ruby).

#75I'm finishing up a postdoc and am not actively looking for a job just yet, but I will be soon.
Like lutorm, I'm wondering who in the startup/industry world might find my skill set useful. (Yes, I know about finance.) I'm located in NYC, and will be staying here for the foreseeable future.
Me in a nutshell: PhD in electrical engineering, research experience in audio processing and machine learning, mainly speech recognition and music analysis. These days I do lots of scientific coding in Python.

#76Melbourne, Australia. Programming since 1986.
Latest work: Linux device drivers for an air traffic control system, medical equipment and a cell phone base station.
Earlier work: portable data terminals, air conditioning control systems, remote order entry systems, telephone banking, EFTPOS terminals and networks, various communications programs, web pages for remote control of communications equipment.
Major accomplishments: rewrote 2,650 lines of C as a seven line shell script; rewrote a VME to PCI bus chip driver reducing the packet transfer time from 40 milliseconds to 200 nanoseconds.
Worked at NCR, Nokia, Philips, Telstra and Wang among others.

#77I live on long island(in NY), and would love an entry-level coding opportunity in the area. Obviously I read HN, and I'm always reading and learning more about technology while dabbling with languages. For example, today I've been writing utility scripts in powershell( http://is.gd/dRJWZ ). I've played with PHP, Android development, Ruby.. heck, even a little security exploitation in assembly. The list goes on. I started by writing in C, and it's fair to say that's the language I'm most comfortable with.
I may not have a Ph.D. in astrophysics like that other guy, but I really do think I could contribute somewhere given the chance.

Apply to Google. Google does a lot of machine learning, and the Android folks like audio processing. And yes, Google has an office in NYC. (With, purportedly, really good food.)

#79Boulder, Colorado. Unable to relocate.
I've coded a good deal in Perl, C, and Lua, and have been learning Scheme for quite some time as well. I'm comfortable with Linux (bash included), OS X, and Windows. I'm willing and able to learn new languages/systems.
Currently a senior majoring in Linguistics (human), though most of my jobs through college have been with computers.

#80Involver (www.involver) is hiring RoR Developers. They are based in downtown SF and well funded. There is a pretty fat referral bonus so ping me if you apply and we can split the pot if you get hired.
SingleFeed (singlefeed.com) is also hiring RoR developers, they are based in SF as well.
If any front end designers or developers (CSS, HTML, Jquery) are interested in some contract work we have some projects coming up at Webvanta (www.webvanta.com), ping me if your interested.
Contact details in my profile if you have any questions.
