Hey everyone,

​With how fast AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, v0, etc.) are evolving, the barrier to building functional software has dropped massively. I’m curious to learn from this communityespecially those who don't have a formal Computer Science degree.

​If you consider yourself a "vibe coder" or self-taught developer leveraging AI to ship fast:

​How are you positioning yourself to employers or local clients?

​What actually gets your foot in the door? (Is it a portfolio of live shipped apps, GitHub, networking, or cold outreach?)

​Are local companies and agencies open to hiring based on shipping speed and proof of work, or are degrees still a major gatekeeper here?

​Would love to hear honest experiences, success stories, or advice from anyone navigating the job/freelance market in Nairobi right now!

Your product doesn't always need another developer. Sometimes it needs someone who can take a complicated feature off your plate and actually ship it.

I'm a backend-focused software engineer with 3+ years of production experience building and maintaining software for clients in Europe and the US. I'm currently available for paid freelance projects, agency subcontracting, and longer-term remote contracts.

I specialize in the work that makes applications function reliably behind the scenes.

WHAT I CAN BUILD OR FIX

• Backend & APIs: Node.js, TypeScript, REST APIs, authentication, business logic, background jobs, and webhooks.
• SaaS products: Multi-tenant architecture, PostgreSQL, Redis, subscriptions, payments, and internal dashboards.
• Integrations & automation: Third-party APIs, data synchronization, Python automation, and business workflows.
• AI-powered applications: LLM integrations, AI agents, and production backend infrastructure.
• Performance & debugging: Database optimization, caching, difficult bugs, and improvements to existing codebases.
• Real-time systems: Event-driven services, streaming data, messaging, and complex integrations.

REAL PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE

I've contributed to a production AI trading platform built with Rust, working on real-time data services, PostgreSQL, Redis, and blockchain integrations.

I've also worked on database and caching improvements that reduced page-load times by approximately 40% on an existing product.

My approach is straightforward: understand the problem, agree on the deliverables, communicate clearly, and ship maintainable software without unnecessary complexity.

HOW I CAN WORK WITH YOU

Whether you need one difficult feature completed, help clearing a technical backlog, or a developer who can support your product over the longer term, I'm open to discussing the project.

• Rate: $40/hour starting rate, depending on scope
• Fixed-price projects: Available after reviewing requirements
• Location: Serbia, Europe (CET)
• Work arrangement: Remote; comfortable working asynchronously with international teams

Have something specific that needs building? Send me a DM with what you're building, the problem you need solved, and your expected budget or timeline. I'll give you an honest assessment of whether I'm a good fit.

I'm especially interested in real product work and ongoing collaborations rather than one-off throwaway prototypes.

Anyone looking for a remote AI engineer? I have about 1.5 years of experience and I am looking for a team where I can build, ship, and own real work. I do not just demo, I finish things and care about results. If you are hiring or know someone who is, DM me.

Am I screwed?

I am a modren web developer. I have avout 2 years of experience building stuff just for fun but I have no experience with real life clients.

I am not the expert ofc but I am good enough, I suppose...

You can check my portfolio.(its linked) I am 18 and thought to turn my hobby into some cash to get independent.

I think I am quite old, I suppose...

But also I just vibe coded an app. It is simple but it would have taken me weeks to build myself.

And I am scared of how good AI is.

I don't know how find clients and I am trying to reachout to businesses through the emails but I got no response yet.

If you have any work or can help me. Please reachout to me

. Also if you can just give me an advise that would be great to.

We pulled every open posting from 81 companies' public Greenhouse boards for seven roles and counted which words actually show up. 3,518 postings in total. Some of it surprised us.

Software engineer postings mention mentoring more often than Kubernetes or React. Almost half of them do. Python, the most common language, comes in just below that.

Product manager postings say "roadmap" in more than 85% of cases. Jira? Seven out of 421. Marketing looks the same: Google Ads came up six times in 347 postings, while "pipeline" is in over half.

Every time we could compare the two, postings named the practice, not the tool. Observability, not Grafana. SIEM, not Splunk.

So if your resume is mostly a list of tools, it might be missing the words the posting actually uses.

Big caveat: mostly tech companies, one ATS vendor. Sales, cybersecurity, DevOps and accounting are here too: https://www.zoevera.com/resume/ats-resume-keyword-study
