Duale "Wale" Siad

Hello, I am once again posting on #getfedihired

I'm a Melbourne-based software developer, who's currently looking for a role in either frontend, backend or software engineering role. I'm primarily working with Java, Kotlin, Python & TypeScript (Node/browser).

I'm also open to relocation elsewhere in Australia.

If you have an offer, please use the contact info in my bio, or send a private reply under this post.

Examples:

• https://stra.org.au - Vue 3 / Nuxt website I built for a not-for-profit (which I am also the president of)
• https://github.com/wale/gradle-tailwind - TailwindCSS plugin for the Gradle build system
• https://codeberg.org/Readconquista/gis_data/ - Python-based geographical manipulation for the Victorian libraries system.

@wongm@mastodon.social and the name changes of the user-facing entity are even worse.

• "Metlink" / "Viclink" (2003-2012)
• "Public Transport Victoria" (2009-2019, existed as a shell until 2025)
• "Transport for Victoria" (2018-technically present)
• "Transport Victoria" (2025-present)

Just saw this little tidbit from a 2015 @wongm@mastodon.social article, and this has aged pretty well, nearly 11 years later.

Hello, I'm looking for a new software / full-stack job in Australia (Melbourne, but willing to look at relocation elsewhere). I'm mainly experienced with Kotlin & Vue.js, alongside some skills with Python.

If you have any opportunities, please reply in a DM or email me (me@wale[.]id[.]au). I will send my CV on request.

RE: @wale@aus.social

Update: I bought the battery for the camera this was intended for, expecting to receive it tomorrow.

If this proves to not be a dud, I will get back to the replies and see how it goes.

My attempt at a simple flowchart explaining the process of getting a concession Myki in Victoria. There may be some slight inaccuracies, but this is the *best* I could do.

Blog post soon :)
