software development roles (HIRE ME)
Hey everyone, throwaway-ish post but figured this sub might actually have leads or at least point me somewhere useful.
So I'm a first-year uni student , and yeah, I know what people think when they hear "first year" — but hear me out before you scroll past. I've been teaching myself and building stuff way beyond what's in my coursework. I'm not coming in expecting to be handed a senior salary, I just want a real shot to prove I can actually do the work.
A bit about me:
- Comfortable with Python, JavaScript, Java
- I've built a voiceassistant app, a digital camera app and a functional sales dashboard. Happy to share repos/links in DMs.
- I work well under pressure and deadlines — half my projects were basically "figure it out by tomorrow" situations and I delivered.
- Decent team player. I don't go quiet when I'm stuck, I ask, I document, and I try to make life easier for whoever's reviewing my code.
- Fast learner, which honestly matters more than knowing everything on day one.
The honest part: I've been job hunting for a while now and the market here is absolutely saturated. Tons of applications, mostly silence. Not complaining, just being real about why I'm posting — I'd rather talk to actual humans than fire resumes into the void.
I will settle with work under 15$/hr but obviously if the workload is alot then ill have to increase.
If you're hiring (or know someone who is) for anything dev-related — internships, junior roles, part-time, contract, freelance, whatever — I'd love to chat. Open to learning, open to feedback, and genuinely just want to start building real things and get paid fairly for it.
Drop a comment or DM me, if you have any work that you want me to do. Even advice or a "you should look here" is appreciated. Thanks for reading.
