Pre script: I’ll try to keep this post above the rest for obvious reasons and you should find newer posts about the usual stuff below.
For circumstances out of our control I don’t have a job any more (after sixteen years of it) and I’m completely free starting from February next year. And while I can live more or less comfortably for a couple of years on my savings I consider proper to have a job, preferably an interesting one. Since it is hard to find an interesting job for my qualification, I post this in faint hope that somebody will offer me one.
First of all, let’s start with what I can do. I have a good knowledge of C (but not C++ — nobody knows C++ in its fullness, I just don’t lie about it), Rust and various assembly languages (not just x86/AMD64 and ARM, I have some experience with a couple of more exotic ones; most of the assembly code I wrote is SIMD optimisations). I also have a knack for reverse engineering things and documenting them afterwards, which involves nor merely looking at the decompiled output (or disassembly when a decompiler can’t handle it or lies) and copying it verbatim but rather understanding it and comparing various parts to the known methods. And of course I have vast knowledge of multimedia and adjacent technologies (up to OS and CPU architecture). What I don’t know I can learn.
Then, why you should consider hiring me. If you need somebody who can write safe, portable code or fast platform-dependent assembly code that will not need much maintenance afterwards. If you need somebody to work on low-level multimedia stuff (not just integrating an existing framework but messing with protocols and decoders directly) or related image/audio processing. If you need somebody to debug complex cases or reverse engineer third-party stuff for interoperability (digital sovereignty is supposedly a thing now in the EU, maybe you need somebody to implement a part of it).
Last, working conditions. I’m a naturalised German citizen, so I’d prefer my work to be inside EU, preferably remote or close to Karlsruhe where I live; or at least not requiring a relocation to another country (which is still possible for EU but the offer must be very appealing). Additionally I prefer to work in a small company instead of being a cog in a large corporation. Finally, the unpleasant question of money: I’m not going to work for exposure, peanuts or partnering up for the future profits (I had enough of that in my student times, thanks); it should be enough for a decent living here i.e. what any other middle-class worker can afford and anything above that is nice but not mandatory.
If nothing works maybe I’ll just get some useful menial job instead.
Here’s my email (repeated for convenience as it’s hidden in the links way below): 
Who knows, I might be more lucky this time.
