Re:Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2025) on Wednesday July 02, 2025 @01:24PM (#44446383)
Location: Washington State

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Ruby, Python, TypeScript/React/Node, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker

Resume/CV: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X0XVkOZXNoa0pwv5C8H5Mw7x...

Email: [email protected]

Engineering leader with 18 years building and scaling systems. I've taken teams from chaos to shipping, whether that's modernizing decade-old monoliths at $50M companies or architecting greenfield platforms from scratch.

Recent wins: Cut reactive work by 80% in 6 months, reduced delivery time from 2 months to 2 weeks, and transformed backend teams into full-stack contributors. I love the messy intersection of legacy systems, growing teams, and business constraints.

What I'm good at: Making hard technical problems tractable, then executing on them. I thrive at diagnosing complex distributed systems issues and designing migration strategies that keep the business running smoothly. Equal parts hands-on engineer and team builder.

Looking for teams solving meaningful problems where both technical depth and business impact matter.
