SEEKING WORK -- REMOTE or Local SF

Location: San Francisco, CA

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Golang, Javascript, TypeScript, Kotlin, React, Kubernetes, Terraform

Resume/CV: https://daumau.io/cv.pdf

Email: [email protected]

Software developer with over dozen years of experience in various software development roles. Focus on backend development, with significant fullstack experience as well as Android development and devops.

I've got experience as a YC company CTO, financial services software architect and consider myself a motivated and diligent individual contributor. I've set up security infrastructures that process millions in transactions and done software development for industry leading consumer products. I led small and mid-sized teams that built and maintained these systems.

Mainly my interest is API first development. I can do Android or frontend development and I've also got experience running and maintaining infrastructure (financial industry / infosec projects), but would consider myself backend dev first and foremost.

Looking for a principal-level backend development role, but will consider other options.

Security First (YCS15) | Android Developer | Dublin, Ireland | Remote, https://secfirst.org Security First’s flagship Umbrella app gives you free digital and physical security advice when you need it most. It's is the only security handbook you'll ever need in a free, open source app.

Our backend runs mostly Golang and as we're trying to broaden our spectrum to involve global market, we are met with a set of interesting challenges. Everything we do is 100% open source, we use Golang for backend services, Swift on iOS and our new app is 100% Kotlin.

We need an Android developer who can help with the new app, which is 100% Kotlin MVVM architecture and we use Couroutines, Dagger, Conductor, SQLCipher and DbFlow to create the app that will prove invaluable to groups in risky areas.

We are looking for someone who loves topics on security and building the next generation of our mobile apps. Our engineering team is small, so the work you do will have a significant impact.

Re:Ask HN: Are there any smart phones not made in Asia? on Saturday September 08, 2018 @05:31PM (#17942890)
OP might have consulted a Chinese issued map :)

Supposedly, about a third of Samsung phones are produced in Vietnam https://e27.co/1-3-samsung-phones-made-vietnam-20150513/.

Some googling shows me that Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan and India have significant share of smartphones produced (one example https://www.androidauthority.com/where-smartphones-are-made-...).

Re:Ask HN: Why did you choose not to have children? on Saturday March 03, 2018 @02:25PM (#16511027)
On the contrary, for me it's super helpful to hear it from someone else what is essentially the reason for my decision.
I feel this statement could carry a lot of meaning about the original question as well. It was obviously not the feedback they desired, but one needs to be able to accept opinion once they as for it. Hopefully, they will pick it up this time.

Her | Backend Developer | San Francisco | Onsite (remote possible for experienced engineers), Full-time, Base + Equity, https://weareher.com

Her (YC S15) is looking to hire a backend developers who could contribute to our Go codebase and make us more nimble, efficient and reliable. You’ll be joining a small team where every role carries a lot of impact and contributes to the bottom line.

As the biggest social network in its space, Her is at break-even right now and we're trying to broaden our spectrum to involve global market, so there is plenty of things to do. We have a stable codebase written mostly in Golang, but we would like to improve architecture and design while keeping the delivery speed.

Things you'll be doing - Evolving our Golang APIs to communicate with our apps and other backend systems. - Work on developing several smaller projects - Carry strategic impact on our future

We don't do whiteboard interviewing, based on preferences we either do a (compensated) takeaway or a few days working with someone on the team, solving one of our real problems.

Re:Ask HN: Private Git repo hosting? on Sunday October 05, 2014 @11:26AM (#8412508)
+1 for Gitolite. It is not that hard, more like an afternoon spent figuring things out. Great access control. It has no interface and no pull requests but that is not what git is about after all.
Well, since you left for London eventually anyway, it could probably at least be said that it sparked some interest.
Re:Show HN: Build your own Heroku on your own servers on Wednesday February 13, 2013 @12:32PM (#5214360)
I've actually been using this since open beta. This is for those like me, who can do devops when pressed to, but really hate it otherwise. Which is most web devs I know.

The neatest thing is being able to transfer your stuff to another provider within minutes. I haven't tried the manual thingy yet, seemed like too much fiddling, really.

The cost in my case isn't significant, less than an hours worth monthly. I'd have wished for more frameworks as RoR isn't really my weapon of choice.

"Can't do a premium version, since there are ongoing server costs."

Care to elaborate why the costs exclude premium version? Why couldn't the paying users cover the costs, while the free play is basically your promotion tool (like Dropbox).
