    Project mention: Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (April 2026) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-04-01

    Infrastructure and backend engineer with a low-level systems background. Last 3 years as the sole or one of very few infra engineers at early-stage startups - owning everything from VPC topology to CI/CD to on-call.

    Currently building cloud infrastructure for a GPU neocloud (H100/H200) from scratch. Before that, sole platform engineer at an autonomous driving research lab, and before that SRE at a YC-backed video comms startup (acquired by a major cloud provider) managing 20+ Kubernetes clusters across AWS and GCP.

    On the systems side - wrote a custom Karpenter provider in Go for a cloud provider, a C++ initramfs to run Gentoo on bare-metal Android phones with Android userland in LXC (GSoC 2020), and ADAS software on Android using Cap'n Proto + ZeroMQ + LMDB serving 275+ vehicles.

    Also wrote bin (github.com/wantguns/bin), a self-hostable pastebin in Rust with 300 stars. Outside of work I maintain a multi-continent server mesh across Hetzner, Oracle Cloud and bare-metal, all declared in a public Nix flake (source - https://github.com/wantguns/dotfiles, blogs -https://wantguns.dev/tags/yakshaving)
