Re:Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (August 2026) on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @07:22AM (#49167028)

  Location: Slovenia
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: rust, c#, GCP, AWS, solidjs, ffmpeg, video
  Résumé/CV: please contact
  Email: [email protected]
Past year - launched multi platform walkie-talkie like system, rust backend + shared lib, native clients for ios/android, slintui for desktop - https://ioxsoft.net/ioxcom - now working on bonding solution to send video/data stream over multiple paths, other small tools at https://ioxsoft.net + https://smmx.dev

Previous career - 15 years leading+programming+CTO+mentoring different kind of projects, mostly for one of the top10 international sport federation - automated deployments to cloud, realtime competition data+video on web, SSO + subscriptions for Live+VOD, custom video pipelines to encode+store+deliver 50000 videos, small presentation sites, global remote commentary in-cloud system with own vmix for events, networked video archive+replay system, travelled around part of team to support Live sports events

I am not good to make some advance algorithms (coding questions) as I was not 100% software developer, but I listened to peoples needs and coded for past 20 years to solve/improve problems. Seeking (also small) project/freelance work where I can use knowledge to get you started.

Location:CET

Location: around 46/14 (Slovenia)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: GCP, AWS, Hetzner/OVH, C#, Rust, PHP, C++, Typescript, SolidJS, Mithril, ESP32, FFmpeg, Medialooks SDK, OTT/live streaming, networking, cloud automation.. lots of things connected with video/workflows

Résumé/CV: https://smmx.dev

Email: [email protected]

Over 20 years, I’ve led, architected, designed, and programmed across many projects, mostly in small teams (1–5). Most of my work focused on sports and TV, including video recording, archiving, encoding/playback pipelines, creating OTT portals, etc. Experienced in C# (web & desktop), JS/Typescript (Mithril, SolidJS), C++, and recently Rust (network bonding, audio intercom). Primarily worked with GCP (70%), AWS (20%), and Hetzner/OVH (10%). I enjoy building user-friendly, performant GUIs and backends with minimal dependencies, live event broadcast setups, networks, and remote global support. Currently pursuing 20–100 hours/month as a solo consultant, gradually building references. Finishing next version of ioxcom - native ios/android/desktop program for walkie talkie/messanging team communication program.

I enjoy creating projects from start up. I am not specifically good in single thing, but so far managed to make projects work and learn along the way.

SEEKING WORK | Remote | CET Location: around 46/14 In past 20 years did many different projects, mostly worked with teams 1-5. 60% of projects were related to sport and TV, for example recording and archiving thousands of videos, creating encoding and playback pipeline, rest was various other fields. I was jumping between leading, architecting, designing, programming and things in-between :)

I have most experience mwith C# (web services, aspnet, razor, ...) also desktop apps (WinForms, WPF, Avalonia), JS/Typescript (mostly for gui, I enjoyed mithril and now SolidJS). I also did some c++ for various small integrations (for example some plugin for Godot, some ffmpeg. Last year I focused heavily on Rust, and created user space network bonding protocol, now audio intercom. I mostly worked with GPC 70% , AWS 20%, other (like Hetzner) 10%.

I like to make GUI/backends that makes sense, are easy to understand (test with users) and performant/fast. Also to last years, with minimum dependencies. I also have experience with live events setup for broadcast of events, have experience with networks.

I also did tons of remote support with people around the world, also know how to use this information to make better programs (or design...).

Looking for 20-100 hours per month.

Last year I started solo career and am now slowly building better references/page etc.

Blender is quite cool but a bit harder to learn. https://youtu.be/mlnA73vgoUk This is also great to know :)
