Ask HN: Who wants to be hired?

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.
