Re: Ask HN: Who's looking for employment?
#122The languages I know rather well are Clojure, Scala, Python, Javascript/Coffeescript, C++, SQL though I've worked with many more.
I've worked in finance, academia/research and publishing. Was the CTO (and pretty much sole developer) for a failed enterprise software startup (Scala/Python/Web).
After my first job I wrote a 3D game by myself: AI, graphics, sound engineering, modeling, procedural textures etc.
Have recently created a number of small, automated web-based businesses on GAE, but I'm hungry for a larger challenge.
I'm mathematically inclined, and my next gig will definitely utilise my machine learning skills.

#126Guess it can't hurt to try: Steve, finishing my PhD this semester, will be looking for employment. C programmer with an array of both professional and academic experience from low-level coding (microcontrollers, DSP, Linux kernel, real-time, audio), all the way up the stack to GUI, HTML5, Android development. Comfortable learning new programming languages. Recent work mostly consists of using Scientific Python for si…

#127I'm an experienced technical and marketing writer, looking for full-time (or permanent part-time) work.
I know FrameMaker, Acrobat, RoboHelp, Microsoft Office, how to tweak HTML by hand, and all of the social media/blogging platforms.
I'm in Toronto, and looking for a position there or to work virtually -- I've worked from home more or less the past five years.
Thanks!
Re: Ask HN: Who's looking for employment?
#128I'm not really looking for work, but something sufficiently cool could convince me to leave academia. My experience is mostly numerical/parallel computation and Monte Carlo, lots of C++ and decent Python experience, with some electronics stuff for fun in my spare time. I'd be particularly interested in projects involving both hardware and software, since my original degree was in applied physics and think astrophysic…
an obvious question..have you applied to Google yet?
Re: Ask HN: Who's looking for employment?
#129I'd like to get into a job working with media, maybe writing to some degree (maybe your company produces in-house videos like KickStarter awesomely does? Or needs podcasts?)
I've five years of experience in journalism, producing a local TV news show. In the process of getting a two hour show ready for air every weekday, I wrote (news stories, teases, promos), filmed (news stories, promos), and edited others' written work/video. I was the guy responsible for everything on air and the station's website while I was on shift. If someone else didn't get their work done or messed up, it was my fault.
I attended college for computer science years ago, but ended up working in journalism instead. I may not be on your level, but I'm not a family member asking for help installing a printer, either.
If you'd like to get in contact, Jeffool at gmail is my "real" address, though I've got a more professional one at JwBridges at gmail, if you prefer.
Also, my account was created 1337 days ago today. Neato.
