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

I’m no longer the tradition HN job seeker, though I used to be an engineer and product designer; now I also have an organization called the Thoughtful Technology Project and am involved in supporting a variety of other initiatives. Previously, I was Chief Technologist of the Center for Social Media Responsibility at UMSI, and I’ve consulted for organizations as varied as the Partnership on AI and Snopes. I also speak on these topics internationally, including venues such as a closing keynote at Denmark’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs, TEDx, etc.

If you are working on a project in this space, or potentially funding a project in this space, I may be able to help you too. You can learn more about my consulting here: https://aviv.me/consult and about my work in general here: http://aviv.me/. I’ve seen a lot of very bad projects get funding, and great projects flounder, and I’d like to be a part of helping avoid both failure modes.

Location: San Francisco

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No (But happy to travel)

Technologies: N/A (though I did use Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Scala, Scheme extensively when I was doing engineering and data work...)

Résumé/CV: Find more about me here: https://aviv.me/

Email: See https://aviv.me/contact

Remote: remote or onsite is fine

Willing to relocate: yes

Technologies: Javascript, nodeJS, React, Python, C# (want to learn, Java is inferior), Objective-C (I am a bit rusty now, I used to know it well)

Technolgies I use as a hobby: R, AppleScript, Bash, Ruby (as a better Bash), Django (for a personal meditation app), Sketch (I doodle), LaTeX, Lisp, Wordpress (child theming is fun), Machine learning (I know PCA, linear regression and neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com).

Resume: fresh graduate with a couple of freelance jobs that took about a year of work. Technologies were: Objective-c, JavaScript/React, Java/Spring Boot. I was also a bootcamp instructor for a year.

I studied 1 bachelor and 2 masters in IT and one bachelor in psychology.

Email: mettamage@protonmail.com — full resume on request.

I am looking for one of the following roles for the next 3 years at least:

- data engineer

- full stack web developer

- product manager (my psych degree helps here)

- serious game designer/developer (I did a game design master)

- growth hacker or supporting growth hackers (the technical kind, research in users/psychology meets IT)

- digital consultant (digital implementation and transformation)

- in some cases: hardware security or reverse engineering (rowhammer, meltdown, this is a big part of my other master)

I am this wide because of my academic background. I am looking for seniors to guide me and to learn as fast as possible.

In my view this would be my first ‘real job’. In my previous work I had huge responsibilities but I studied then as well.

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6, jQuery, Backbone, AngularJS, React, Node, CoffeeScript), PHP, Wordpress.

I'm looking for a job as a Front-End Webdeveloper in the aforementioned cities. I've been working as a webdeveloper since 2010, both in Canada and Germany. I'm a certified "Fachinformatiker Richtung Anwendungsentwicklung" (IT expert in application development) and I made my German Abitur at a school for Arts and Multimedia, which helped me understand the design-heavy front-end webdevelopment.

I'm currently living in Bremen, Germany, because I've been helping my parents renovate and now sell their old house for the past 2 years. We found a buyer and will be moving out by Mid-March 2020. I will help my parents move closer to my sister and then move away myself shortly after.

    Location: NYC metro area/NY/NJ (US)
    Remote: if you like, but physical presence is preferred
    Willing to relocate: no
    Technologies: Python, HTML5/CSS3/ES6 (JS), Java, C

Just graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology in NJ, right next to NYC - CS bachelor's degree with a minor in philosophy. Worked with Node.js, Vue.js, and Postgres for a senior capstone project. I'm currently working with a professor on improving an existing web app and fixing some old PHP code.

Always excited to try new languages, frameworks, methodologies - you name it.

Please don't hesitate to leave a comment with any questions. Thank you for looking.

I am a citizen of the US.
