Ask HN: Who wants to be hired?

559 points by jader201 ↗ HN
With the blessing of dang [1], I'm starting a thread to allow those looking to be hired by a company a way to communicate that to the HN community. Think of this as the inverse of the "Who is hiring?" monthly threads [2] -- except this is not a whoishiring sponsored or monthly thread (yet).

There are a couple of reasons why this thread may be valuable on HN. One, it gives those interested in looking to hire HN enthusiasts a quick view of who is looking for a job. Second, it also gives the HN community a way to give back by helping other HN members find a good fit through networking.

If you're looking to be hired by a company, please use this thread to let other HN members know.

If you're looking for talent, by all means, check out the candidates below and if you see a good fit, connect! Please no recruiters, unless specifically indicated (opt-in).

If you're not hiring/looking to be hired, take a look over the candidates below and connect with them if you're aware of a potential fit for them.

Up/Down Voting: I would propose that up/down voting be reserved to help promote high quality submissions, and push down those clearly not putting in much effort or are off-topic. Use sparingly.

I am loosely proposing the following format (obviously you're welcome to use any format you'd like):

  [Location], [Remote | Relocation], [Full Time | Contract | Part Time]

  Stack: [Comma delimited list of technologies]

  Resume: [Link to resume]

  Contact: [Email address or other means of contact]

  [Brief overview, what you're looking for in a company, etc.]
Note: Do not use this thread to hold meta discussion. That belongs on the original thread [1]. This thread is reserved for posts by those looking to be hired.

I'm looking for a full-stack web development position. I have extensive (15 years+) experience with the MS stack and have been working with MVC since it was introduced to the MS stack. However, I'm completely open to other stacks if you allow me time to pick it up.

Love to see another .NET developer on HN! The Freelancer and Hiring posts each month usually ignore C# and ASP. Good luck! If you want to chat about .NEt, feel fre to contact me.
I'm a .NET dev too...there's more of us on here than you think

Awesome to see. Windows DevOps guy here.
how does that work??

edit: just found http://www.getchef.com/solutions/windows/ That'll help.

Currently alot of custom stuff. Mainly in .NET with hosted Powershell. Chef also supports Windows as you found but support is abit too strong of a word sometimes.

The reality is that Windows DevOps means rolling alot of your own and integrating back with the System Center suite, specifically Operations Manger, Configuration Manager and Virtual Machine Manager.

What is nice about the Windows world is most of the core services actually have decent either fully managed (.NET) or atleast reasonable native APIs. Powershell is also very widespread now which is quite nice to interact with from C#/.NET.

Wow, first time I've seen Virtual Machine Manager mentioned in the wild. I was on the original team that built that product at Microsoft. How long I fought for a real, native API :( Worst part was that there was a decent one hiding beneath the PowerShell layer that was not exposed.
Yeah.. I am currently loading that assembly up and using it from C#.. I am not sure of the licensing implications but it's not too bad once you wrap it abit.

VMM is actually great. As are the technologies that come with it. NVGRE and the new multi-tenant gateway (net compartments + BGP basically) is awesome.

+1 .NET developer.

For the same reason, moving to Front-End development on my next job (mid-june).

That's right look for Programming languages polls here in HN and you'll find a lot of C sharpers

You should apply to come work with me at Stack Exchange! Your profile/s likes are a really close match to what our likes are, minus the TDD aspect.

We're hiring full stack devs: http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/34229/full-stack-web-d...

I did find the lecture from your lead architect funny where he claimed testing was unnecessary when you've got Meta StackOverflow, where people will eagerly find your bugs for free and submit patches too! Pretty sweet deal you've got.
Thanks for the lead architect, but I am a mere developer :-)
Yeah, it's pretty fantastic. I recently did a talk about how we handled our mobile release process, and getting feedback from our Meta site (and having the feedback be public rather than to just one person) was a god send.

There's some extra details in the speaker notes (in the JS console) here: http://kasrarahjerdi.com/se-goes-mobile/#/7

Yes, in fact the poster gave me his email couple weeks ago. Too bad he never came back to me and I'm not in a habit of pestering people.
Hey, pretty sure I did reply to your message, I just checked and the last email I got back from you was presumably sent in error, and we didn't see the preceding message. I'll follow up again now and happy to hear from any scala / js / otherwise-awesome devs in LDN (leo@kivo.com).. No pester at all :)

Resume: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericanderson

Contact: eric[at]planetscala[dot]net

US citizen. Primarily a back-end dev. Apart from the usual wanting-to-work-with-cool-technology aims, I'm interested in finding (or creating) a group that's largely free of religious orthodoxy regarding the means by which software should be created. I'm "agile" at heart but in an agilemanifesto.org sort of way. My experience is in startups (employee #1 a couple of times), small companies, and freelancing, much of that being remote work. I have a slight preference for working on projects with some socially-redeeming characteristics.

Edit: added citizenship
