hanapbuhay··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2025)

  Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: AWS, RDS/Aurora MySQL & Postgres, Kafka, MongoDB, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Datadog, Python, Prometheus, SQL
  Contact: For opportunities or conversations, please reach out via LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/a12nold
I’m a senior-level Database Reliability (DBRE) and Platform Engineer with deep experience across AWS RDS (Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL), Kafka, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD and observability tooling. I’ve supported high-traffic production environments in gaming, retail and subscription video on demand (SVOD), reduced annual cloud costs by more than $1M, built near zero-downtime database migration pipelines and led large multi-node upgrade and reliability efforts.

I’m happiest in roles where I can stay hands-on while helping shape the technical approach for data and infrastructure. My focus is building reliable, scalable data platforms and solving the performance and infrastructure challenges that show up in real production systems. I’m looking for opportunities in DBRE, platform engineering or cloud database architecture where I can contribute quickly, especially in areas like observability and performance. I’m open to both full-time and contract roles.

hanapbuhay··on Disneyland raised prices to shorten waits
The touringplans site mentioned in the LA Times article has a crowd calendar that may help you.

From my experience, typically slower periods at Disneyland is September to November (before Thanksgiving) and mid-January to April. Go during the week. The article mentioned Thursday typically has the shortest wait times.

Good luck!

hanapbuhay··on Someone Stole Sherlock's 300,000 Likes
Yes, at least you have the page back. Grats. What I'm noticing is that my same 3 Facebook friends like both your fan page and the TV show's page. But that's possibly a strange coincidence.

This might be the work of FB running some categorization cleanup. Your fan page is now sub-categorized as a Community Page for the Sherlock TV show.

FB doesn't seem to have all popular fan pages sub-categorized. For example, fb.me/fansofapple, isn't shown connected to Apple at all.
