Ask HN: Help a hacker and he will help you

8 points by thiagofm ↗ HN
I've recently graduated from comp. sci. and have been playing with node.js, real-time stuff(and quite good at it! I can show you something I've developed) and I'm like, average in rails. I can also program in anything you want and have a interest into functional programming languages(like erlang or clojure).

I can also program in most languages(who can't?), draw(average) and... I'm a fast learner!

I can also do some jQuery/css... well, I'm basically the jack of all trades master of none.

I'm also interested in computer vision and my final college project were a low-cost interactive blackboard(read: mouse to a projection) using computer vision(opencv + emulated windows mouse events) in c++.

Videos of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFudPjEvBmE (the full software, including a module to help a teacher in the classroom with presentations etc). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v4GuwW63dE (me drawing in paint with it).

I'm a bad manager of myself(who isn't?) and I don't have a good network where I live in order to keep me motivated in building something, so...

I want to work for free, full-time(more than 8 hours a day), for you, in any of the tecnologies listed above or anything interesting to create a portfolio and get really good into something.

You can contact me at: t at art-is-t.me or of course, post here.

Of course, if you are looking for a half-assed tech cofounder into something stupid, feel free to contact me.

Or even if you want just to talk... :) I'm upto anything cool!

Thanks.

Have you thought about contributing to one or more open-source projects? That's a great way to meet fellow hackers, hone your skills, contribute to the community, and begin making a name for yourself.
