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

Most recently, I was Co-founder and Head of Product and Engineering at a successful venture-funded startup. I now want to work on interesting projects with startups, mid-sized companies, or founders directly while I figure out my next adventure.

Please reach out if I can help you in any of the following ways:

- As a freelance/contract individual contributor. I am very proficient with Rails, JS, and React on modern web stacks. I've done some work with React Native as well and can pick it up fast.

- As a part-time Product or Engineering leader. This would ideally work if you are a sales/business-focused founder who needs someone to manage and propel the ship on the product/tech side. At my last startup, I took a SaaS product from a back of napkin sketch to software with dozens of business customers and in the process we raised funding. I can help with talking to customers, working with designers, product planning, roadmapping, and delivery, or help you hire your first team of engineers.

- As a software development partner. I'm putting together a small, remote, distributed team of talented engineers and would love to take on projects that fall in my sweet spot - building products from the ground up and iterating rapidly based on customer feedback.

I'm open to all positions or contracts.

I took a break to complete my degree a few years back. I have recently completed a small project, but I do have a coding resume gap after graduation (open to discussion) that I'm looking to close.

My work experience is focused in full stack web development and managing IT infrastructure. I am comfortable outside of this range and have worked on systems ranging from USB duplication automation, warehouse inventory systems, and 'complex' proprietary databases.

I enjoy working independently or with teams, and have experience developing practical solutions to problems. I am capable of quickly learning new tech on my own time, or absorbing knowledge by working with others.

Current side project: Building a web app using Flask for the backend and React for the frontend.

Remote: Yes

Willing relocate: Yes

Technologies: C#/.NET (ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Core, desktop), Azure Cloud/DevOps, Solr/ELK, Angular 5+, Python, Kali/pentesting tools

Studying for OSCP with 1 failed attempt so far. Looking for an entry-level role having to do with pentesting, security, and/or development around security (tools, DevSecOps, etc).

I hand code my designs straight in the browser, and am also comfortable with Node.js and Python backend development. My developer hat means that I understand technical constraints when designing. My founder experience means that I understand the business orientation and constraints of a project.

Looking for web apps in need of fresh UIs or napkin ideas in need of MVPs.
