Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work, but I am open to work on any interesting project. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I value good teamwork over fancy tech, and I don't shy away from working on legacy code. I am primarily motivated by solving problems, so let me help you solve your problems.

I am open to work for a company anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

In addition, I want to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. I also sponsor children that otherwise can't afford to go to school (see my website). If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up a team for you.

Security-focused backend/devops engineer with experience in regulated industries. Served as CISO for two startups that were acquired (IBM + Dataminr buyers). Built secure infrastructure, compliance automation, and ISMS/BCP systems that helped land enterprise clients including BCG, Palo Alto Networks. I speak both code and risk, and I thrive where technical architecture meets business requirements.

Senior (11+ years) fullstack dev looking for secondary job part time, weekends. Development or maintenance. I like working clean and fast, improving development tools to increase velocity / faster debugging. Fluent enough in english to hold conf calls with US teams. I'm proactive, averagely nice and well rounded. Seeking very high speed teammates when available. I enjoy learning new paradigms too. Willing to lower hourly rate in the 40-50 usd range if needs be. Volunteering is possible depending on the domain.

Also open to FP or logic programming (lisp/clojure, haskell/scala, prolog). Especially highly formal/industrial model-driven environment.

Thanks in advance for reading

I'm a PhD student at UT Austin. Mainly looking for internships in companies that are working on code generation, mathematical reasoning (theorem provers), or interested in interpretable (yet performant) computer vision models. I'm pretty familiar with the state of the art in code generation and interpretable computer vision algorithms. Open-ended projects (research based) would be great but I'm happy to work on anything codegen/perception based really.

Some of my recent work:

- Symbolic Regression @ NeurIPS24 (https://trishullab.github.io/lasr-web/)

- Visual Programming @ CVPR25 (https://trishullab.github.io/escher-web/)
