I am a sperg from germany, fell out of work for quite a while due to health issues. Health issues i still regret not having suicided over as they began because while i am good now (provided i have medicine, aaaand without money thats an issue) that doesnt mean that long time until it was diagnosed and properly treated didnt happen, no matter how great things are now, that amount of pain will never fully be worth it - but ill try to get as close to that as possible.

Those health issues being trigeminal neuralgia caused by Multiple Sclerosis. That doesnt really affect me so long as i have my medicine now that its all properly diagnosed and i had some minor surgery.

Everbody assumed i will spend my life on welfare. Even had a court ordered legal guardian (who did assist me in gathering some documents for getting my foreign documents in order to make my stay here permanent).
I left for latinamerica with 500€ and without speaking a word of spanish (though, many people around here speak german. No, mostly not WWII germans, much older than that, though it isnt most people anymore, im told it used to be the majority just 20 years ago but not anymore), without an income or a plan other than to live free or fucking die.

Ive managed for a while, had some income here and there, but still nothing reliable to this day. Low on food, about to run out of medicine, late on rent...

Medicine being an espacially urgent issue.


[Qualifications]

Prior to my health issues, i used to be paid 100$/hour plus the occasional bonus (can from here work under your minimum wage, of course) to work in webdevelopment, primarily using PHP, MySQL, some javascript experience, outside of that i have used a bit of c#, c++, played around with Assembly even, i can manage linux servers and frankly from here i could compete in wages with any unskilled office work as well.


My work history includes work on a nutrition app, developing an email system and an internal management app which handles customer, worker, delivery, payment, and calculation processes for a large national company in germany. I have also worked on WordPress projects, fixed issues in a JavaScript-based game sold on Steam, and explored unconventional uses for a blockchain, such as base64 encoding files to save them directly on chain. This is more a proof of concept rather than fleshed out, but you can find the GitHub repository for that under https://github.com/RH89/fileshare.

Regarding Frameworks, i will admit that my experience is quite low, back when i started Ruby on Rails was just coming around iirc, so i had to do all of that from scratch, obviously id call reuable functions to establish database connections and such, but im not intimately familiar with any framework. On the flip side, i know how to safely handle user inputs and so on even without a framework doing that work for me, so i dont think i should struggle to much with using frameworks, at worst id expect i might do some additional work which the farmework would otherwise do for me. This should also position me well for maintaining legacy systems.
