(This is my first time posting in one of these threads. I precommit to posting in more of them.)

Hey, I'm Andrew! It's nice to meet you. You might already know me through

* my various software projects to help people learn Finnish @ https://finbug.xyz/ ,

* my somewhat popular Ubuntu dev machine bootstrapping scripts @ https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/shell-bling-ubuntu , or

* my old, tiny SSG tutorial, "Minimum Viable Hugo" @ https://github.com/Siilikuin/minimum-viable-hugo .

I also wrote https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf which got over 1000 points here on Hacker News, and which many people use as their first tutorial to `fzf` to this day. My posts occasionally do quite well here.

I am seeking part time IC roles in software engineering, stuff I can do on the weekends with a 5- to 15-hour weekly commitment. Traditional compensation is of less interest to me than gaining experience and working on interesting stuff with interesting people.

I have been programming since 2009, starting with Python. The first non-trivial program I ever wrote with it was a polynomial division calculator to check my math homework, if you want an idea of the kind of person I am.Recently I've taken a liking to Go, Perl, PHP, Tiny Core Linux and other fully RAM-based solutions, good old POSIX shell, and SQLite.

If you think you have something that might interest me, send me an email! I always love hearing new ideas.
