Hello HN,
I was just informed that a key investor pulled support for a startup I am working fulltime for. Thus, people are being laid off 5 days before Christmas. Bummer.
I am reaching out to the community as I am on the hunt for Developer-related position.
About me: Berkeley Grad, 7 years of development exp, 4 years at startups. Held titles: Developer, Sr. Developer and Lead Developer. Great team-player, active communicator, can step into leadership as needed.
Skills: Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, MySQL, Postgres, SQLServer, API's, JS, HTML5, PHP, Python, Linux system admin (AWS, Linode etc), DBA, Product Development, Team leadership
Experienced in domains: Ecommerce, Saas, Social API's, Analytics, Finance, Health IT
Currently Learning: Objective C, Node.js
Seeking: Remote Fulltime opportunity, willing to travel occasionally. I am great as a technical co-founder in early stage scenarios, helping to define product and rapidly build it. Also great as part of a dev team. Open to possibilities.
Shoot me an email at: prgrmr75@gmail.com if you have any leads or want to talk about opportunities.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
EDIT: I am located in the Midwest about 2.5 hours from Chicago.
I greatly appreciate the heavy response to this. This is a great community to be a part of.
Enjoy the time off for the holidays, spend some time with the kids, and start looking for work in January.
