HNers,

Excuse the fake account but I didn't want to use my normal one for the sake of privacy.

I'm currently looking for programming or development work. I'm highly productive in Django, Python and jQuery.

I've also worked extensively on App Engine and know its pros and cons (and possible workarounds) well if you happen to be on that platform.

I'm more comfortable with back-end work but I've recently shipped several complete development packages for teams that I've been working on.

I'm located outside of the US right now and am 12 hours off US time give or take. If you're looking for an extra set of hands and someone who works autonomously and quickly I'd probably be a good fit for your team.

I can be reached at remotely.hn [at] gmail if you're interested in discussing further.

Thanks!

It would be great if this turned into a "Who's Hiring Remotely" thread.

If you're soliciting work, why on earth wouldn't you use your normal HN user name? I don't get it.

Kind of off topic, but I'm curious how difficult it is to get remote (non-contract) development Jobs these days? I'm not currently on the Job market, but in a couple of years, I plan to move back to the place I was born, and there are not many, if any, great companies to work with there for a software developer.

I guess what it boils down to me wondering if it is easy or hard to find remote development positions and going forward is it becoming easier to find remote positions as a software developer.
