Ask HN: Would you give me a food and shelter if i code for you?
4 points| codeornocode | 10 years ago
I have 5 years visa to the united states, 4 years remaining of this visa, each visit i can stay 6 months, i don't want to break any U.S rules that's why i want to code for your startup for no money, just food and a place to live in transportation would be nice too but i am not going to take money from you and i am not going to ask your for health insurance or be your employee, i don't want to break any rules, i have +8 years of experience in JS, PHP, Ruby mainly as a full stack web developer i also do game development using Unity3D + C#, i'm a Musician since over 15 years at my free time and i can design sounds and soundtracks i work with many DAWs, i'm bilingual i speak fluent Arabic and English beside having many more skills.
The reason i am doing this because i live in a war torn country, some issues happened and i've lost all my savings and i refuse to give up, I'm already 31 years old and i don't want to spend the rest of my life in this place enough is enough, i've been to California in 2014 and i loved it so much, i can't get an H1B visa because i don't have a university degree although i have a high school diploma and a college diploma in business management and e-commerce.
I have no idea what would the outcome of my visit to the states be but i want to try it at least maybe i can find someone who can sponsor my education so i can stay in the U.S or maybe something i haven't thought of would happen.
If you'd like to interview me please send me an e-mail to life.will.get.better.2016@gmail.com, thank you.
Thank you for reading my post.
ps: Please if you can't help me at least try not to be negative in the comments i already have enough negativity going on in my life and i could really really use some motivation, but after all you are free to write whatever you want of course and i appreciate it.
