Hey all!

I'm a software developer based in upstate New York. I enjoy taking on complex problems and finding solutions to them, especially at the low level. I've been teaching myself to code for about eight years now, but haven't gone to school for it.

Here's some quick information about me:
- I love:
- Challenging myself.
- Learning new things.
- Linux.
- Containers.
- Cats.
- I am:
- In the:
- top 5% of 26.4k Rust developers.
- top 5% of 1.7M C developers.
- top 5% of 867.0k React developers.
- top 15% of 426.3k Node.js developers.
- (numbers sourced from LinkedIn skills assessment)
- Willing to work for a lower starting salary, since I haven't gone to school.
- Willing to relocate to California, if needed, as soon as six months from now.

The only stipulations I have are:
- I won't work at "web 3" startups.
- I need this position to be remote.
- I can adapt my sleep schedule to match any timezone, if needed.
- My internet connection is rock-solid, it went down no more than twice last year.

I need a job fairly soon, because otherwise my parents will force me to apply to retail positions. I'm a trans woman, but I don't pass (people don't even recognize that I'm trans), so I'd be subject to constant misgendering from customers (and probably the other employees). I don't know if I could manage that without destroying my mental health.

If you want to reach out to me, my email is julia AT insertdomain DOT name. My LinkedIn is linkedin DOT com SLASH in SLASH julia-johannesen-6a587724b. I'd directly put the URLs here since spambots exist, I'm not going to, hopefully to save myself a little headache.

Boosts/renotes are greatly appreciated ❤️
