Previously: As a full-stack engineer, I was most recently hybrid working as part of the Vancouver team at Flagler Health. Highlights include the construction of the PDF billing report pipeline, and was responsible for migrating a majority of our Node.js job queue to Temporal.io, during which I was—in some specific cases—able to extract significant performance improvements by restructuring the concurrency model and optimizing for reduced database access latency. I regularly paired with juniors in a mentorship capacity, and happy to do so again.

Currently: Exploring local-llms, touching grass, working solo on a double-entry accounting solution for small business that may or may not see the light of day

Goal: I'm based out of Vancouver, but happy to discuss different remote arrangements globally or hybrid in Vancouver, Canada. I enjoy working on distributed computing workflows, sticky legacy problems, improving UX and DX, concurrency optimizations, and overall making useful products with a good team.

While I am a regular user of various local Qwen models and a variety of harnesses, experienced with Claude Code and Codex, I am not what anyone would call "all in on AI".

Previously: Worked on the frontend team at JLL Technologies inc, formerly Envio Systems, on feature improvement and a big refactoring push from Angular 1.x to React/Typescript/Redux/Jest. We were responsible for a smart commercial building management system dashboard product, and the team was distributed across the EU, NA, and Asia, while I worked remotely from Vancouver.

Currently: Have spent my time learning Swift, SwiftUI while building out a native macOS app, building up my low-level knowledge through the Nand2Tetris course, and learning Nuxt + Django + Tailwind to strengthen my full-stack skills. I have about 8-10 years of experience depending how you count it. I'm just looking to do some decent work over the short or long term, FTE or contract (incorporated), happy to discuss options. I'd be open to both intermediate and senior roles, and am very adaptable, preferring small niche teams.

Weird that you're downvoted, I was just nodding along in agreement, although there is some nuance like not being able to find someone on-site in Abbotsford.

That said, the Job Bank has always been this ridiculous, absolute embarrassment. I've seen other posts on there that are straight up fraud in the sense that someone has submitted a fake posting for another company, leaving an obviously fake email as the contact point. (To which I notified the company)

If you're hiring a frontend or generalist/Swift/Python person, I've been out of work for nearly a year now in Vancouver and am spending all day today applying to random general labor work since the software pursuit has stopped paying off; I don't know ML but am curious. Can find my info in my most recent "Who wants to be hired post". Willing to be on-site or meet up for coffee.

Previously responsible for migrating/refactoring a commercial building analytics/automation dashboard product from untyped legacy angular.js and React class components to React hooks/Redux/Typescript with a small EU startup. I'm based out of Vancouver, but happy to discuss different remote arrangements globally or hybrid in Canada. I enjoy working with colleagues, including juniors, on tricky problems, and making useful products. Currently not interested in moving anywhere else permanently.

Since being laid off almost a year ago, I've been working on a native mac personal productivity tool, and learning more about low-level computing through Nand2Tetris.

I’m a software engineer based out of Vancouver, Canada, with most of my ~8-10ish years of experience being on small teams, working on complex frontend JavaScript UIs, sometimes remotely and sometimes on-site. My last position was with a medium-sized building management system startup, iterating on their energy consumption and management dashboard interface, with colleagues in wildly different timezones, before being laid off earlier in the year due to downturns in the commercial real estate sector. This was largely in React with TypeScript and Jest, migrating a lot of code off of Angular 1.x. I’ve spent most of my dev time during the summer learning Swift and SwiftUI for MacOS from scratch, am very comfortable jumping into the deep end in tricky codebases, and enjoy the process of becoming a productive member of a new team.

I’m a software engineer (mostly frontend web) based out of Vancouver on the west coast of Canada who was laid off a few months ago after the acquisition of the smart building platform startup (Envio Systems) by JLL inc (the same one on all the “for lease” signs in your downtown area). I spent much of my year and half there on a small team working to improve the existing legacy Angular 1.x dashboard application by improving design responsiveness, introducing TypeScript, migrating components to React, and services to Axios/Redux. We used GitHub Actions for code reviewing and test running, Jira for project management, and Slack for communications, and worked across some difficult timezones remotely.

Since then I’ve been enjoying the time off, working on a mac app in Swift and SwiftUI, as well as taking my time with looking for a new role, ideally on a small team where I can either continue as an individual contributor or something slightly higher-level, in a capacity that is challenging and requires the exploration of new systems, but in no specific domain. I enjoy iterative processes, lean development lifecycles, learning new codebases, and experimenting with developer tooling and build systems that reduce the latency in feedback loops, like Vite.

I don't have a link to anything yet, but I'm working on a mac app that's intended to help programmers observe their own productivity in an objective but configurable way, and provide a more cohesive interface for working with independent project management tools. This is particularly for people who struggle with things that their managers tend to assume that everyone has the same capability of managing, like when was the last time you updated a Jira comment thread that directly connects to a GitHub PR review, that directly connects to a Git Branch. You might go and push some code, but forget to re-request review, or forget that someone asked a question in the thread, because you don't have native notifications.

I haven't worked out a coherent UI for this quite yet, but ideally you'd be able to give yourself a notification that a branch you were working on hasn't seen any updates in some time, or that you did commit but haven't pushed, or haven't changed the status of the Jira ticket back into review.

If anyone has these problems, I'd love to hear if anything like this would be useful.

Frontend engineer recently laid off from JLL which I came to through the acquisition and closure of Envio Systems where I worked on their commercial building analytics dashboard aimed at reducing energy consumption across large commercial real-estate portfolios. RIP. Most of my work there involved migration of the complex legacy Angular 1.x codebase into a react/typescript/redux component library, including previously written tests and other heavily angular-dependent frontend bits such as angular-resource. I'm currently working on a mac app in Swift and SwiftUI, as well as looking for a new position in no particular industry, ideally on a small team where I can either continue as an individual contributor or something slightly higher-level. I enjoy iterative processes, lean development lifecycles, learning new codebases, and experimenting with tools that help with developer productivity such as Vite.

(mostly) Frontend Developer with ~8 y.o.e looking for a new role to start in June, fresh off a ~1 1/3 year term working on a web-based building management system, specifically migrating from Angular 1.x and React class components to React Hooks/Typescript/Redux. Learned a lot, but layoffs hit since commercial real estate is losing money. Worked with a small team who's size fluctuated between 5 and 9 as I followed the original German startup through an acquisition of a major U.S company.

Most of my experience is not greenfield—not that I'd shy away from anything—it's heavier on contributing to larger established complex codebases with immediate team sizes of 5-10. I'd like to build on my skills as a frontend engineer going forward, though I'm not strictly looking for an IC role and don't have strict technology preferences, I'm mainly interested in delivering value and solving some interesting problems along the way.

This happens in the prairies from time to time. Last year I got stuck in a Blizzard on my way to Winnipeg. All highways in the southern province shut down for a bit. We got stuck in a gully in the car until a snowplow came and saved us.

Maybe it was just marginally better than previous places. The actual leadership is alright, they just had unreasonable expectations for me personally. But hey, I'm still unemployed almost two years later, so if anyone's looking, hit me up :)

PDFTron in Vancouver is alright. I didn't vibe with my manager or the rest of my immediate team well, but the rest of the company is alright with not much bureaucracy and some smart people working on a niche product. I burnt out in part because they had me do customer support while trying to deliver features, so I was terminated, but they're still alright if they can figure that out. I have ADHD and my manager didn't seem to understand how I couldn't get back to people on time, so I quickly learnt to resent coming into work.

Hi, I'm Luke, a front-end leaning developer based out of Vancouver, Canada. I've been working with JavaScript (and various component libraries such as React, Vue, Angular), HTML, CSS, Python, and others for some portion of the last decade. I find a lot of satisfaction in troubleshooting obscure issues and incrementally improving products, while working with good people or solo.

I burnt out and lost my previous position after COVID hit, and since then I haven't found anything, instead I've been working on side-projects and in whatever non-tech jobs I can in the meantime :)

In my next position, I'm looking for something where I can see where my value to the customer is going. Working at too high of an abstraction level from the problems I solve isn't healthy.

In addition to these things, make sure the company who's hiring you, if you're located in another country knows how to do so, before wasting too much of your energy with them. I was recently burned by this after receiving a good offer.

Hi, I'm Luke. I find satisfaction in working with geospatial stuff and on tricky responsive interface problems, figuring out how to work with old code or new codebases through testing and troubleshooting, as well as learning from my colleagues and teaching when I can.

WHY TO HIRE LUKE:

  I'm persistent when it comes to solving problems and troubleshooting, and consider myself fairly good at it; though I know there's a lot I can learn. I’ve done so on one major website that serves billions in transactions annually and for a tiny website that hosts research datasets.
  I like to challenge myself technically and in terms of responsibility; probably not a rare thing to find here on HN.
  I'm approachable, and enjoy collaboration with others. Lean more extrovert, and am comfortable in crowds. Also very welcoming of advice; feedback and practice are the major ways to improve.
  You want someone who is great in emergencies. I don't tend to panic, and have experience resolving issues that legitimately demand attention.
  You want someone who thinks testing with users in real-world settings is worthwhile.
  You need someone who values their own spoken communication skills. I have no experience in public speaking exactly, but I feel like I do ok when discussing or explaining things in a group context and find that it's an important thing to improve.

WHY NOT TO HIRE LUKE:

  You need someone to communicate with customers or handle support inquires daily; not communication in general, just timely replies on a short cadence. This is not a strong point for me.
  You can't let me have any agency over when or how I do work, and that work has little variety to it over a number of quarters. I'm a hard/smart worker, but I'm very cautious of burnout, and need to pick my battles carefully.
  You want someone with experience in management or lots of leadership. I'm interested in taking on some higher level responsibilities, but I don't yet have those skills.
  You want someone who has desirable stress responses to artificial emergencies (crunch time to make arbitrarily chosen tight deadline).  What makes me good in real emergencies also makes me awful in imaginary ones (crunch time because of ill-considered deadlines).
  You want someone who's been grinding leetcode problems. I have a brief and recent exposure to academic DS&A material, am interested in the subject and can build a priority queue from scratch, but I haven't yet passed Amazon's coding test :) (I also have a copy of CTCI, but it's rotting on a shelf)

Hey, if any of you apparent employers out there are bowing to tech workers, hit me up :)

I'm a good generalist and like doing different things, but note that I don't call myself a "React Developer" and so if that's what you want, please don't contact me. Also don't contact me if your first step is passing a hackerrank test. Other than that, I like contracts of short or mid length, but am open to different arrangements.

Cool to see this here. I'm from Winnipeg, but didn't hear about this until I found the book sitting on the ground in Vancouver a few months ago.

Hey look at that, another Winnipeger. Winnipeg, as well as the other small prairie cities I'd imagine, also have the disadvantage of just not that much competition and not that much in terms of newer rentals. When I moved to Vancouver 6 years ago, I doubled my salary from ~42k to ~80k. Most of the well paying jobs from that time were for Java devs at the big 3 or 4 insurance companies. If I wanted to work there, there weren't really many nice apartments nearby. Some were built way out in burbs, and now there's a few downtown and in Osbourne, but it's slow going.

  You want someone who has desirable stress responses to artificial emergencies (crunch time).  What makes me good in real emergencies also makes me awful in imaginary ones (crunch time because of ill-considered deadlines).
  You want someone who's been grinding leetcode problems. I have a brief and recent exposure to academic DS&A material, am interested in the subject and can build a priority queue, but I haven't yet passed Amazon's coding test :) (I also have a copy of CTCI, but it's rotting on a shelf)
