USA Citizen recently moved to The Hague. A fullstack engineer with about 10 years of experience building, scaling, and leading web application projects from the ground up. I’ve worked across early-stage startups, client services, my own business, and open source. As both an engineering leader and individual contributor, I excel at pushing projects forward: scoping work with precision, communicating tradeoffs early and openly, and keeping teams aligned even in high-ambiguity environments. I’m known for elevating team effectiveness by introducing clear processes, thoughtful technical direction, and a strong culture of ownership. I lead with empathy, clarity, and a deep belief in enabling others to do their best work.

How I can serve you:

- Building and Launching anything, ASAP

- Architecture

- Leadership and advice

Open to short term or long term contracts. Rates are negotiable, generally ranging $150/hr to $200/hr depending on your individual needs. Let's find a custom solution that's mindful of your runway.

Just to be clear, are you saying the only life work that you can find fulfillment in is work that can be perfectly automated and handled by AI? Do you have an example of what you mean?

A specific part of GP’s comment keeps getting overlooked:

  So the problem isn't robots, it's the structure of how we humans rely on jobs for income.

Nobody is saying robots should replace human connection and expression

Edit: tone

I for one remember reading about possible silicon/methane based life, etc. Actually, here’s a whole wikipedia article on what you’re talking about.

Perhaps HN folks will lose your scent now and direct their snark there

A concept artist and a 3D modeling artist altogether will cost like $3000 for 1 fully complete character that fits your vision. For 2D probably a lot cheaper.

For me, $3000 is worth the months/yrs of saved time.

Of course if you are having fun learning the art side and don't care about the destination as much then ignore this and have fun with it! If you practice every day for a year you'll probably start getting close to what you invision.

EDIT: I'll also add that it's possible most of the aesthetic you're looking for can be achieved via shaders (for both 3D and 2D games). A lot of art looks very different in-game because of shaders doing all kinds of manipulations.

I smoked one pack spread out 2 or 3 days, for about 3 years (in college). Rarely would do a full pack in a day.

Quitting was pure torture. I stayed up 24 hours walking laps around my campus. Took like four full days for cravings to go away.

Haven't had a cigarette in 10 yrs. Occasionally enjoy a cigar without problems

This comes across as a saddeningly extreme armchair psychological evaluation and extrapolation to just attack my entire character.

Star Trek economy for all!

This specific idea of limiting CO2 is being taken a bit too out of context of the broader point. Sanctions against Russia hasn't stopped the murder, any more than limiting individual CO2 consumption would stop climate change. Yet both are correct actions because they are steps in the direction of fixing larger issues.

EDIT: clarify wording
