Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (January 2019)

>> Remote: No

>> Willing to relocate: Yes. I have UK and Australian passports, eligible for an E3 visa in the US.

>> Technologies: Generalist Engineer

Software engineering: my strongest area. Self-taught with online courses, lots of practice (pile of shiny thinkpad keyboards) and reading. Embedded systems (C, Arm Cortex, AVR, FreeRTOS, uCos-II, FFT, 2/4G modems, GPS, e-paper etc.). Desktop/Android UIs with C++/Qt. Data plumbing, NLP scripts, image processing etc. with Python. JS/HTML/CSS/Node (but not the latest framework). Linux, networking, POSIX, filesystems, binary formats. Clever algorithms and performance tuning. Other languages as required. Didn't get around to any machine learning yet.

Mechanical engineering: competent. Bachelor's degree. Lightweight structures, design for injection moulding, CAD, CFD, FEA, control systems, strong maths, programming machine tools etc.

Electronic engineering: enough to be dangerous. Schematic design and layout with Altium, DFM, assembling, debugging for typical 2/4 layer microcontroller boards. Know my way around Shenzhen. Fairly familiar with digital design concepts but no HDL/FPGA experience. Don't ask me to design an antenna, but I can implement the reference design from the datasheet just fine.

The projects I worked on this year:

-- https://helloenvio.com/tracking/ I designed the architecture, communications protocol, did the schematic, 50% of the PCB layout, the firmware, mechanical design, manufactured and tested prototypes in China. Firmware was ‘bare metal’ C on an STM32F4. I wrote drivers for the modem, gps, e-paper display, accelerometer, 'fuel gauge' etc.

-- https://forum.language-learners.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=869... I did 100% of the conceptual, electrical and mechanical design (innovative slim light-up button design), firmware and testing on an audio player for learning languages (my own project). Low-cost BOM. Firmware in C with FreeRTOS, 10k lines of my code hooking into a large SDK documented in Chinese.

-- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lln-language-learn... I did this project with a friend, put it online last month. A Chrome extension for studying languages with Netflix. 6-7,000 lines of our own JS code, with a good handful of clever tricks. 'Cloud functions' as the backend.

I'm a nice guy. 32. Ego in check. Speak a handful of languages (including Russian). Hand me a problem, I'll find and implement a good solution, picking up new skills as required. Looking for an interesting and worthwhile project to work on with nice people.

Remote: On site or mixed.

Willing to relocate: If we really click. Otherwise, no.

Technologies: 6+ Years of DevOps, Analysis, and Business Logic using: SQL, C++, PHP, Python, VBA

Resume: Lead (and sole) software developer. The company I work for operates on my software: inventory (8 digit revenue), logistics, financial analysis, devops/automation, order processing (importing and exporting), moving data.

I am a passionate creative and analytical thinker without a standard education. I am motivated by learning and applying it to my work, and have plenty of experience opening up a book to self educate. I open my mind to learn from the experiences of other people too.

I desire to think big and grow into a COO position within the next 5-10 years.

I am a nice person, likes to work, has a lot of experience in remote work, can analyze requirements, design systems and bring them to completion. I want to be challenged and learn new things :).

Remote: Preferred. The timezone works surprisingly well for remote work on the US West coast (I spent 18 months working for a company in Oakland, CA). I just live in the future so can give you all the /lottery|election|sportsball/ results.

Willing to relocate: The opportunity would have to be remarkable (I do live in Middle Earth, after all).

Technologies: My first programming language was AmigaBASIC, but most of my recent experience is across the JavaScript stack: React, quite a lot of React Native, Express, GraphQL, Postgres, Redis, Heroku, Jest. I'm an Arch Linux daily driver.

Right now I'm belatedly working my way through Advent of Code 2018 in Rust, and writing a Node library for API authentication. Available for hire starting after Jan 14. Let's talk.
