-I am a web backend developer, though I'm open to experiment in other fields as
-well.  You can look at my projects on:
+Consider this my informal portfolio.  My projects can be found on

+## Expectation
 
-## Education
+### Things I can offer
 
-- Bachelor: University of Science and Technology of Hanoi, 2018-2021
+- I mostly work with Python, though I have dabbled with various others.
+- I can write, with decreasing level of confidence:
+  - web services or full web apps
+  - libraries
+  - other kinds of user-space software
+- I get familiar relatively quick with new technology, enough to get small patch
+    done in one or two weeks.
+- I can get quickly familiar with the business logic and can have suggestions
+    on the software usability
 
-## Free Software work
+### Things I would like to see
 
-I support free software by writing it and contribute to some projects within my
-ability.  Below are some projects I've participated in development.
+I would expect a contract granting me healthcare and labour protections and no
+overtime. Other than that, these are nice things to have:
 
-### Highlighted
+- well-documented codebase and installation instruction
+- company hardware
+- fully remote work with occasional hanging out onsite
+- letting me work for slightly less than full-time (e.g. 4 days per week)
 
-- [IPWHL (floating cheeses)](/ipwhl/), a singly-versioned Python binary
-  distributions
+### Things I'm not interested in
 
+I would likely refuse the offer if it's about:
 
-### My own
+- tracking people for analytics, whether online or offline
+- cryptocurrencies, NFTs, blockchains...
+- "cloud-native" software
 
-- [Acanban][acanban], a project management system
-- [Wikt CLI][wikt-cli] is a CLI Wiktionary client using its API.
-- [Discord meme bot][meme-bot], a meme bot for Discord
+I also find the following repulsive:
 
-[acanban]: https://github.com/Huy-Ngo/acanban
-[wikt-cli]: https://git.sr.ht/~huyngo/wikt-cli
-[meme-bot]: https://github.com/dinhanhx/discord-meme-bot
+- regular hour-long meetings
+- contacting me outside working hours
+- JavaScript-heavy, inaccessible front-end
+- network blocking as measures of "security"
+- work that are based on oppression of others
+- work that are based on deception
+- intentionally volatile software
 
-### Major contribution
+## Skills
 
-#### Code
+My strongest suit is **web development** on backend side.  I have the most
+experience in **Python**, though I have written web servers in **Node.js** and
+**Go** as well.  While preferring backend development, I am certain of my basic
+knowledge in <strong>semantic <abbr>HTML</abbr></strong>, as well as basic
+styling.
+
+In web development with Python, I am most familiar with **Flask** and
+**Django** as framework.  I have also tried **Quart** (Flask's async cousin)
+and **FastAPI** for a short while.  While being no master, I have written
+**systemd** services for some of my software.
+
+While I mostly work in web for its ease of deployment and availability across
+platforms, I have also experimented in other areas, such as working on a [3D
+sound processing library][palace].
+
+I dare not say I know git, but it's my primary version control system.  I have
+also experimented with mercurial and subversion for a short time, but I never
+managed to work with throwing a tarball around---maybe with an one-time
+exception when I hacked[^0] a browser extension with my friends in an afternoon.
+
+I can work in Vietnamese and English.
