Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (June 2014)

#1
Note: This was posted last month [1], and received a lot of up votes and some positive feedback [2]. So re-posting again for June 2014. Also note that I will not be submitting my resume this time due to making a successful connection [3] with an awesome startup as the result of last month's run.

If you're looking to be hired by a company, please use this thread to let other HN members know.

If you're looking for talent, by all means, check out the candidates below and if you see a good fit, connect! Please no recruiters, unless specifically indicated (opt-in).

If you're not hiring/looking to be hired, take a look over the candidates below and connect with them if you're aware of a potential fit for them.

Up/Down Voting: I would propose that up/down voting be reserved to help promote high quality submissions, and push down those clearly not putting in much effort or are off-topic. Use sparingly.

I am loosely proposing the following format (obviously you're welcome to use any format you'd like):

  [Location], [Remote | Relocation], [Full Time | Contract | Part Time]

  Stack: [Comma delimited list of technologies]

  Resume: [Link to resume]

  Contact: [Email address or other means of contact]

  [Brief overview, what you're looking for in a company, etc.]

I've been programming since I was 14, and started doing it professionally at 20. I'm currently the "jack of all trades" programmer-and-more in a small IT department for a ~2000 employee company. I've enjoyed incredible flexibility to learn and implement different technologies in my current role, but unfortunately, I have to begin looking elsewhere as we're quickly losing our autonomy to our enterprisey parent company.

The approximate responsibility split at my current job is 60% pure software development, 20% devops, and 20% networking. I absolutely adore C#, but since it isn't as vogue as I wish it was, I should mention that I'm almost as fluent in several other languages. I'm proud of having a well-diversified set of skills, and if my "keyword soup" resume piques your interest, I'd love to have a more in-depth conversation with you.

I'm tied to the area for family at the moment, but I'd be happy to spend a bit on a coworking space and work remotely.

I am looking to join a team that is passionate about what they're working on. I've worked for startups and contracted for international corporations for the past three years. I love engineering solutions with technology and am always expanding my stack knowledge. I enjoy engineering front-end and back-end aspects of applications. I have no problem working remotely, but would consider relocation if necessary.
