Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (February 2023)

Location: Africa

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where i can get the necessary permission to live and work.

Technologies: Linux, Fullstack, System Administration.

Résumé/CV: on request (software development, CTO, mentoring, training, fluent in English and German)

Like a recent Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so i am looking to relocate to Africa.

While i could find a job elsewhere i believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location i am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and i am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I am willing to consider a volunteer position if a visa can be provided.

  Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US (nearest metro area - resident of New Jersey, US citizen)
  Remote: Available - it's the new default!
  Willing to relocate: No - only willing to commute to Center City Philadelphia.
  Technologies: Full-stack Web development using Ruby on Rails and a variety of front-end architectures, new and old, for web *sites* and web *applications* (the distinction matters!)

  "Portfolio" (see my previous employer's website which I owned development & operations during my time there): 

Hello! My name is Ariel, I'm a full-stack Web developer with 10 years of career experience, and the last 5 centered around building a foundation in full-stack development using Ruby on Rails alongside a variety of front-end architectures based on real user needs.

I'm happiest when solving business, customer, and user problems from the perspective of Web-based applications and related information systems. I'm an advocate for privacy by design, open-source software, testing the code you write, and finding room for appropriate automation.

I'm currently only looking for full-time, direct placement opportunities offering salary & benefits on day 1.

For more on my specific preferences, I can present a list derived from my Hired.com profile: https://imgur.com/a/7swhL8V
