Technologies:

* Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, GoLang, PHP, Python

* Web development, LAMP, jQuery, Mysql, Sqlite, Postgres, Symfony, Amazon AWS

* ReactJS and the usual javascript ecosystem

* React Native, native Android app development

* Good at debugging hard problems (especially those from the field)

* See resume for full list (including soft skills), work history and open source projects (ie. sample code)

Prior to my current gig, I was an Engineering Manager/Software Engineer hybrid (and occasional executive) at a 100% remote US startup for 5 years.

I also have a smattering of side projects.

I know what it's like to work for a tech startup.

I specialise in debugging hard problems which no one else wants to do.

Hi,

Prior to my current gig, I was an Engineering Manager/Software Engineer hybrid (and occasional executive) at a 100% remote US startup for 5 years.

I also have a smattering of side projects.

I have wide ranging experience with software and technology.

I'm a self-motivated person and always learning new things.

I'm a creative thinker who is able to take a multi-disciplinary approach to solving problems.

I don't just do 'software', but also the business, legal, social and startup issues around software. (I'm well-read on startup literature.)

I'm a problem solver. Give me a problem and throw me in the deep end. You don't have to keep checking on me. I'll find a way out. I'll either solve the problem or provide you with the necessary information to make an informed decision.

I specialise in debugging hard problems which no one else wants to do.

I keep myself busy. You can see from my work history that, if not employed, I always have a side project happening. But don't let that deter you. I'm always willing to shuffle my priorities for the right opportunity.

Thank you for reading and hope to hear from you.

(No recruiters please.)

Location: Perth, Australia (GMT+8 all year round; no DST)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Doubtful but not ruling it out

I use git aliases to automate complicated or repetitive operations. Here are my favorites.

From the tallest cliff in the solar system to its largest impact basin, geological processes on other worlds are similar to our own.

Relatedly, I link to a lot of personal blogs in my newsletter Interesting Things. They tend to be good quality blogs (otherwise I wouldn't linking to them) so you'd probably find some good stuff there.

Newsletter: https://bengtan.com/interesting-things

Sample issue: https://bengtan.com/newsletter/sample

More info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27492255

I curate HN stories which didn't reach the front page [1]

Sorta related ... I run a newsletter that curates HN stories which didn't (mostly) make the frontpage, but I also omit politics, big-tech news and stuff like that. There's about 40 stories every week, and most of it is tech/dev related. Would it be a help to you, perhaps?

See https://bengtan.com/interesting-things.

Or see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27492255 for a prior discussion.

After filtering out dead and deleted stories, it's about 950-1000 stories per weekday, and about 650 stories per weekend-day. This is what I consistently see after two or so months of curating HN's 'new' tab for my newsletter.

I visit the 'new' tab regularly. So regularly that I created a newsletter curating stories that I find in there (as well as from other sources).

If you're curious about the newsletter, or just wanna read some stories that didn't make the front page, please see https://bengtan.com/interesting-things. Or see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27492255 for more info.

FWIW, my newsletter usually has a few 'company dev blog' articles every week. You should be able to find some good stuff there. See https://bengtan.com/interesting-things.

Article title is: 'This deep-sea creature is long-armed, bristling with teeth, and the sole survivor of 180 million years of evolution' but I couldn't reduce it to fit within the story title limits.
