Hello HN, It's been a long month of interviewing since I was laid off due to the market shrinking from COVID. My position (Frontend/Full-stack Engineer) became redundant as the company had to change direction. A lot of really great engineers were let go of. I've been interviewing for full-time positions but the process is slow going and I have not yet received an offer. I don't have much more time before my own savings runs out and I am the sole provider for my family, so I am reaching out to the community for help with any leads. About me: full-stack/frontend engineer with 5 years of development experience (all remote) What I'm looking for: remote contract projects utilizing the technologies below - or - remote full-time position as a full-stack or frontend engineer (US citizen in the US, no visa sponsorship required) Skills: - Node.js - Go/Golang - React, Redux/Flux - TypeScript, JavaScript - CSS, SASS, HTML - Mocha, Jasmine, Enzyme, Cypress, Unit/Integration testing - Mongo, Dynamo, Redis, Postgres - Docker - AWS, AWS Lambda, Serverless - Jenkins, CircleCI, Grafana - Microservices, SOA - Linux, Ubuntu, bash, ssh, git - API and EHR/health system integrations across multiple protocols and dataformats - Scrum rituals, Agile If you are hiring or know of any teams hiring (ideally that you could introduce me to) then I'd be glad to know. You can reach me at jai@omkara.dev — I'd be glad to forward my resume and LinkedIn profile. Thank you for your time! I would greatly appreciate any help.
