I'm currently studying CS in school and am looking for a first tech internship as well as a mentor. Mostly been focused on front-end development but I am looking to learn anything and everything. Experience outside of school has been making static websites, games in Unity, and visual coding with p5.js. Highly interested in webGL and WASM so if you use either to some extent I would like to talk about it!

WHY HIRE ME? I'm confident in my ability to synergize with any team and learn quickly. Since I'm still early on I'm not tied to any specific stack or framework and am eager to go 100% on newer, riskier endeavors. Hire me if you want a fresh perspective and someone willing to wear any hat.

WHY NOT TO HIRE ME: I'm looking for a space where I will be able to learn a lot. That likely means I will need some room to make mistakes along the way. Only consider me if you have room for someone who can handle all the smaller misc. tasks but isn't quite there yet for bigger responsibilities.

Hi, I'm Dan.

  Location: San Francisco | Remote | No relocation
  Technologies: node, react, vue, swift, python, mongo and open to learning more.
  Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BcGPFWgpamRXXBXXxMSXHxlrvKE6eH2I
WHY TO HIRE DAN:

  Former founder, both iOS apps I've worked on were featured on the front page of the App Store globally, used by 300k+ people
  3 yrs as a full stack product engineer and 2 yr managing engineers
  Strong desire to level up as an engineer, and very receptive to feedback
  My highest personal value is awareness, which extrapolates into every part of my personal and professional life - I'm a mindfulness nerd.
WHY NOT TO HIRE DAN:

  You're looking for someone with strong systems design and architecture experience. Most of my experience is working within a pre-existing architecture (front and back end) and building front-end features and their corresponding end-points 
  I don't have experience working with engineering team larger than 4 people
  You don't have capacity to have a pair programming session once a week with me to help me level-up as an engineer
  You're looking for a senior engineer
  You expect the engineer to be highly proficient with SQL or GraphQL vs. learning on the job
  You haven't raised a series-a yet (or on a strong trajectory to do so)

What a great idea to include the "why not hire X". It makes everything so much more efficient for everyone.

"You haven't raised a series-a yet". I am curious, can you elaborate on this one?

Probably a nice way of saying "You cannot afford to pay me well" . I am just guessing.

I'm hands-on generalist developer with ~10 year experience. Worked in gamedev (graphics/engine/network, industry and indie), co-founded blockchain analytics startup in backend/infra/devops role. Self-learning new stuff as needed, specializing into whatever areas required.

Not afraid of algorithms (participated in competitive programming) and so would love to work on science- or algorithms-packed project. May also be a good fit for wear-many-hats tech co-founding role / early employee of a small startup.

Why me?

I'm product/user focused. I love interviewing users, making quick prototypes and doing research. An example of how I work in one of my side projects (scroll down): https://random-character.com/whatisthis

I've been quite successful in product/manager jobs, and I'd like to do them, but I rarely get opportunities here.

Why not me?

I generally do not like working with investor-oriented companies, where most features are to impress a specific investor. I thrive off the user base acting as fans.

I avoid work where the company has a negative impact on the world (gacha games, apps that abuse privacy, and so on).
