Résumé/CV: Upon request via email Email: luke@luketully.ca

(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.

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.

I'm quite defeated by this, and by the interviewing gauntlet that I've been doing for over a year, but am still open to full-time, part-time, and contract work as an incorporated entity.

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.

  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)
