Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (May 2026)

Location: Africa or REMOTE

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where I can get the necessary permission to live and work. Occasional travel is possible.

Technologies: Linux, Front or Backend Web Development, General Software Development, System Administration.

Résumé/CV: on request (software development, CTO, mentoring, training, fluent in English and German, german citizenship)

Contact: Email: see profile or http://codingforafrica.at/

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.

Email: [email protected]

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Developer experience. I love helping my fellow developers solve problems, and building tools to make their jobs easier and more enjoyable.

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

I have a decade of experience founding and advising startups; a decade of experience as a software developer and tech lead; and a wide variety of supporting experiences. Let me help your business get to the next stage of success.

Independent systems developer, 27.

Filed US Provisional Patent #63/942,399 in December 2025 covering an offline memory lifecycle management system for mobile AI. Reference implementation on Android (M3mo Vault): FTS4 + TF-IDF hybrid search at 0.78 microseconds/memory on 10K-entry scale, 7-factor decay algorithm validated via ablation study (12x weight differentiation vs 2x baseline), 7-layer ServiceLocator DI replacing Hilt.

Also building Entropix Engine — a zero-GC browser game engine in vanilla JavaScript sustaining 3,000+ entities at 60 TPS. Structure-of-Arrays memory layout, GridHash spatial partitioning, deterministic fixed-timestep loop, featuring an adaptive grid-sampling fix resolving buffer overflow on high-refresh-rate displays. Live prototype on https://retroindex.org. 60 days into development, 13 milestones shipped. Weekly devlog on r/gamedev.

Past commercial work: scaled an e-commerce operation from $20K/mo to $140K/mo (7x) over 2 years through hand-coded HTML and SEO engineering — 700+ product pages under strict eBay platform constraints (no external CSS/JS allowed), with automated template pipeline reducing launch time 20%.

Background: BS Data Analysis Psychology, UC Davis (2021).

Looking for: contract or full-time remote roles in mobile AI infrastructure, on-device AI memory systems, performance-critical JavaScript/TypeScript, or e-commerce engineering. Open to indie hacker collaborations and Show HN partnerships.
