I'm not tied down to a particular technology stack. If you're willing to allocate time for familiarization, or relocation, I'm open to just about anything, with security orientated work being preferred.
If you saw https://ieddit.com on the front page yesterday... that is me.

I'm looking for opportunities to re-start my career. I'm open to any advice about how I could better market myself to get out of this rut.
After a stint of freelancing, I went back to school and finished my degree 3 years ago. I ended up doing well and added a CS minor in 2 semesters. Due to life circumstances, which I can discuss, I ended up with a 3 year programming resume gap in the following years. I've mostly worked side jobs to pay the bills and I've had trouble getting any traction in the job market.
Though I have a resume gap, it wasn't a break from any touching code. I've been reading HN for over 10 years, and posting for almost as long (alternate account). I've been a Linux desktop user for 15+ years. Taught myself Python 10 years ago, and had dipped in PHP when needed prior to that. My everyday workflow is centered on Emacs, I always have an iPython interpreter open, and I run a server for hosting projects/VMs. I've been exposed to a breadth of technologies. Depth and lack of fancy side projects are likely my biggest weaknesses right now. I've been working on updating my web development skills by learning React.

Hello, I'm Sam Lawrence.
I have lots of experience (6+ years) in manual QA, but at my last role I began using Cypress to drive test automation and I really took to the experience. I'm still wrapping my mind around Git and Javascript itself, but being able to contribute code to the team, participate in PRs in both directions, and drive automation that reduced regression testing time was both exciting and a welcome new challenge. I'm looking for a place where I can continue to learn and grow into my Javascript shoes, as well as my overall engineering skill set. I've been at a good few product companies and agencies so I know how to make things with an eye for quality, but I'm tired of being only semi-technical and want to dig in deeper to establish a stronger skill set around Javascript, and ideally use Cypress as the doorway.
The reason I'm looking is that I was laid off today alongside 1/2 the engineering team and 1/3 of the company's total workforce.
Thanks.

Had my offer from LinkedIn for an SRE role rescinded because of criminal history, got me pretty down for a while but now im back on the market looking for a place that will take me and overlook past transgressions.

I was previously VP of Engineering at Eaze, CTO at Getable, an early engineer at Yammer and Storify, and ran a web application development agency for a few years. I'm just throwing this out there to break my bubble and widen the potential matches.

I’ve built and own e-commerce sites with revenues in the millions. I’ve been described as the “business guy, who knows more about tech than the tech guy in a startup”. I’m now looking to utilise my skills at mission driven company with interesting technical or leadership challenges. I have built complex web apps that talk to hardware, designed e-commerce websites, leveraged machine learning and can pick up new languages and frameworks quickly.

I'm a senior technologist and engineer with a breadth of experience (15+ years as SRE / DevOps / Systems architect, 20+ years Linux user, even longer as a programmer !). My core technical skillet is in infra/DevOps, but over time I've been involved in most aspects of architecting, building, running and scaling online services. Very interested in the business / product areas as well.
I was one of the first 5-6 Facebook SRE hires in Europe (2010-2011), have experience at numerous startups and before that in larger orgs in the ISP/hosting world.
Happy to provide both technical vision/leadership and hands-on engineering contributions.
Available mainly as a contractor/consultant (part time or short term projects welcome)
I will consider full time employment for exciting principal roles (co-founder / CTO / VP Eng / Head of Infrastructure) at early stage startups.
No generic vanilla DevOps roles from recruiters please (I get plenty of those on LinkedIn already) !
First time posting here, I'm curious to connect with fellow HNers in London and beyond !
